The Plough - Speisekarte

My family and I went out to eat last night and enjoyed delicious sausage and mash, as well as fish and chips. The sausages were of excellent quality and the fish and chips were amazing. The portions were generous and we had a lovely evening thanks to the attentive staff.

Four of us dined at The Plough. Three of us ordered the cod and chips, but unfortunately, it was the worst we had ever tasted. The fish was grey, tough, and definitely not cod as advertised. We only ate because we were hungry. However, the chips were very nice. We had this dish a month ago and it was delicious, which is why we decided to return.

Met a friend for lunch. Pub was very quiet (Tues) Very pleasant bar and restaurant area. Bar staff (lady) was very obliging and pleasant. Menu was a little restricted because chef was on a day off, but no great problem. The food we had was very pleasant pub grub. Reasonably large car parking and outside area with tables. We be happy to drop in again. Speisekarte ansehen

Prices were higher than the online menu that we looked at before we visited. The food was nothing special but the prices were restaurant level. It wasn’t really worth the extra money compared with food in local pubs. Gluten free options advertised were not available and a second choice had to be made. This was handled with apology from the server and a discount to our bill was given at the point of paying, which was good customer service. However, I still suffered a stomach ache from either glutens being present in my food or from cross-contamination- both of which show no understanding of gluten-free provision. We’ll swerve this place next time….

Stopped here with a friend for lunch after a long walk on the ridgeway. A quintessentially British pub with a good selection of pub food options! Catered well for vegetarians as well as meat eaters. Portions were large and delicious, exactly what was needed! The car park was busy on arriving too which I only saw as a good sign, especially on a Tuesday lunchtime. A selection of lighter bites was available at lunchtime as well as the full menu. The pub attracts a lot of tourists, being so close to Chequers so lots of photos were taken by other customers but staff were fantastic at noticing and getting them to stop so we could enjoy our lunch in peace!

Do you like waiting an hour for your food? Do you enjoy a car park littered with debris and broken glass? Is interacting with unapologetic, mouth breathing imbeciles your idea of a cracking day out? Then come to The Plough, for all this and more! We waited an hour for four meals, and the only response from staff was glassy stares and mumbling, disinterested apologies. When the food did arrive yaayyyy it was mainly bland, beige and burned in places. Staff eventually claimed the chef had gone home unexpectedly presumably he could no longer face the shame of working here. At no point, despite several complaints, did anyone offer to put things right and that’s why it deserves such a merciless re... Speisekarte ansehen

This would have been a 'Very Good ' rating, except that despite pre ordering the food for our group of 14 walkers, there appeared to be a breakdown in communication between the 'front of house ' staff at the bar and the kitchen. All sorts of dishes were brought out that we hadn 't ordered or had cancelled the day before. Some sandwiches were ordered on brown but came on white. I had ordered the pie of the day, was offered a choice between chicken or steak and ale, chose the steak and ale but received a chicken pie but with a pot of beef gravy. Despite all this chaos, the food was good and my pie and chips was a huge and tasty dish. The staff were very good about the mix up and very friendly,...

Pork belly had not been cooked properly and the fat was still tough. Two of us were eating and when the plates were pushed to one side (one empty and one full) three members of staff just looked and walked on by. Eventually someone came to take the plates and gave the ‘is everything ok with your meals’ standard speech and when the feedback came they went to get the manager. The response was less than satisfactory. One of us had eaten and one had not. The manage, who didn’t even share her name nor smile, responded that they had sold lots of pork that day and no one else had complained! Perhaps I made it up despite the clumps of fat on the plate and the dinner almost untouched. The resolution....

After waiting a week to calm down, I wanted to provide a more balanced review of my experience at this pub. While a house feels like a home with people in it, a pub becomes inviting with experienced staff who can handle unexpected situations smoothly. In short: - My party of five arrived for a lunch reservation. - The pub became busy with other diners, including a large group of 12-14 people. - We were informed by our server that there was a kitchen issue, so only jacket potatoes and sandwiches were available. We ordered accordingly. - However, the large group and a few other tables received hot meals, with the explanation that they had pre-ordered. - It was frustrating to see plates of...
