Food Quality
Pros:
"Perfectly executed roast Sunday lunch with excellent service and particular attention paid to food allergies and intolerances."
"Food was outstanding, fish and chips were perfect and the Sunday roast Yorkshire was as big as the plate."
"We ordered quite a lot of food and have to say quality, portions and service were all 10/10."
"The roast beef for 2 was great as was the 12oz sirloin and burgers."
"Excellent roasts - we had all types and all were fantastic."
"The fish and chips are honestly the best I've had and their Sunday roasts are unbelievable."
"As always amazing food and great service."
Cons:
"Salmon nicoise was an overpriced joke."
"Very disappointing food. Dry tasteless fish pie and overcooked beef shank."
"The last couple of meals we have had here tasted as if the food was a day old and had been re-heated in a microwave."
"Plus, we ordered a cheese board: overpriced, tasteless and with cheap crackers."
"Beef brisket pie is chewy, watery and flavourless."
"Chicken wings were slimy and the children’s tomato pasta was dry and hard."
"The steaks were the smallest, thinnest and coldest ribeye steaks I have even tasted."
Service
Pros:
"Friendly staff, fair prices and an okay selection of food and drinks."
"We were lucky enough to be served by Taya again, she makes an easy Friday evening at the local totally stand out."
"The service was impeccable, including a great cider recommendation."
"Excellent food, really tasty and a good menu which is not overcrowded with choices but not too simple, the customer service was excellent and we were treated really well."
"Amazing service from Emile and Tanya."
"We had particularly pleasant and helpful service which made our meal very enjoyable."
"Staff are super friendly and efficient."
Cons:
"It takes something special to have as rude a team of bar staff as this spot. Expect a long wait for your beer, with locals/mates jumping ahead of you in the queue, and don't expect a smile!"
"A sweaty, uptight and in your face manager that doesn't like accountability a tiny bit."
"Lunch at the Plough was ruined by the behaviour of the very rude Manager!"
"Being so dramatically lame in managing both staff and customers is not acceptable in my book."
"Wish I went somewhere else. Dreadful service. Staff seem to want to talk to each other as more important than customers."
"Service was slow yet flustered at the same time."
"Good food if a little haphazard with the delivery starter and main came at the same time and a child's ice-cream didn't arrive until they were asking him to leave the pub."
Atmosphere & Amenities
Pros:
"A lovely spacious pub, very kid friendly, and a decent space outside too."
"Good atmosphere in pub however not impressed with quality of food and service at the restaurant."
"The beer garden has to be one of the best creative beer gardens I’ve been to in London."
"Very family friendly (playground in the back for the kiddos), great food and drink."
"Live music, nice atmosphere, any kind of drink."
"Very family friendly, lots of pups and overall a warm community atmosphere."
"The garden area is great, lots of space but cozy too."
Cons:
"Lost the feeling of a local it had for decades."
"Those days are long gone unfortunately. After a refurb that consisted of sticking in a plank of wood parallel with the bar, The Plough's prices have skyrocketed, and the quality of food and beer has gone steadily downhill."
"Impersonal, dark, open-space pub with generic, wood and plastic interior decor."
"Feels like the welcome and atmosphere is lacking in the Plough in last few years which is a shame as it’s our local and a nice pub. Feels like it’s a chain without much management passion."
"Disappointing for the Sunday lunches, Yorkshire pudding is bigger than the actual portion size for the plate."
"It really is cheeky to charge so much money and sell a jug as '4 pints' when you can see with your own eyes it's actually much less than that."
"Do not go there for a meal if you're vegetarian... the dining experience change for much worse."

"Great range of beers, friendly & helpful staff, good food and a lovely big beer garden at the back."
"Just had the best steak I have eaten in a long time then they top it off with a mouth watering dessert the staff are very friendly and attentive."
Cons:
"I ordered 2 drinks and paid with 20 bill and got 6.50 change! One pint and a vodka tonic! The place is a rip off!"
"Classic Fuller's pub... pricey for the amount you get."
"I find the food here overpriced and consistently mediocre."
"Nice atmosphere, but the food was pretty average for the price."
"Very pricey still but lost the feeling of a local it had for decades."
