Plough & Harrow Aldridge

We came for a meal this evening. Disappointed that it felt like half the menu was sold out. I can appreciate it’s Father’s Day and you were extra busy but you were advertising a father’s day menu, surely you should have enough ingredients to cover the extra expected demand? I didn’t want to give the waitresses a hard time as I could see they were embarrassed about it and doing their best. They are a credit to your company. However, the Chocolate bombs we ordered were the final straw for me. We have had them in the past and they were so disappointing, I had to walk out and just let my wife settle the bill. Last time we had them they were completely different with a hot Chocolate sauce. This time it was just a watery sauce (looked like it was was watered down hot chocolate.) And no popping candy. There was a £2 supplement for this dessert. Really disappointing and I’m kicking myself for not complaining at the time but didn’t want to embarrass my family. It was an expensive meal which was not the standard expected from a gastro pub.

Sunday lunch on 01/06/25 Warm greeting when we arrived. Drinks order taken promptly. Food when it arrived was delicious as usual. Staff are really good here, very friendly and helpful. Our main server was Ella-Mae she was brilliant. Can't wait to return.

I phoned yesterday and got through straight away. I explained that I wanted a table for 4 people and it was my wife's Birthday on the day we wanted to go ( 19th May ) The lady was very polite and reserved a table which she thought would be very suitable for us near the windows on a very well sized round table. On arrival we were greeted quickly and the lady was very polite, cheerful and ready to show us to our table which was in a great position in the restaurant. Sue was given a glass of champagne and a strawberry to start with which was a lovely thought. We all proceeded to order our drinks and food with no rush, leaving us with plenty of time to catch up with our friends as we live in Tenerife and came to England to visit many people while here. All the food was exceptional and the mains were served on hot plates. Starters and desserts were also fabulous with a special touch for Sue again with a special message on her dessert plate along with a Birthday card too. I would fully recommend this place and we will visit again on our next trip over. Thanks to Elisha & Team Plough for an amazing experience. Mike, Sue, Barry & Sonia 😁

The service was good from the start. The food was great and we even had a little left over to take home. Emily served us and made sure we weren’t kept waiting for anything. All in all it was very pleasant experience making a wonderful evening. Thank you

From the moment we were seated, Ella made us feel welcome. She was so attentive and efficient. We really appreciated her friendly and professional service. We will definitely come back!
