I can’t even give this place any stars! My 4 year old grandson got hit in the head by a plate because the waitress wasn’t looking what she was don’t and didn’t even have the decency to apologise to him or his parents. My son had hair in his food but was then called a liar! Manageress came over but just argued and told us to leave even though some of us were still eating! Absolutely abysmal behaviour will never eat there again!

Lovely evening spent in the Plough for a family Birthday. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Our waitress Karen was so helpful and friendly. Carvery was lovely with a wide variety of meat and veg to choose from.

Not the best evening! We were sat right next to another couple with probably 6 inches between us. We requested to move but were told that we couldn’t as all tables were reserved. We arrived at 17:30 and had left by 18:45 and the tables remained vacant the whole time. Menu-requested two different meals and both not available. Disappointing as they had basically told us that all tables were reserved and already two choices were not available. We settled for the steak pie which was nice but chips were mediocre and not homemade!

We decided to select the Plough for our Christmas day dinner this year and certainly were not disappointed. From the minute we walked in, to the minute we left everything was absolutely spot on! Karen, as always was a complete superstar, looking after us all, especially the children! Great value and the quality of food was fantastic! Even though it was very busy we didn't feel either rushed nor like we were waiting around and when we asked if we could take desserts home it wasn't a problem!! 10/10 across the board for us!! A huge thank you and Happy New Year to team Plough who smashed it out of the park as always!

Overall an enjoyable couple of hours, meeting family half way, six of us in total, including two children. The staff where very attentive, we were quickly shown to our table. Frankie introduced herself and was excellent throughout. All of the food and drinks ordered were very good, the pint of Abbot was very good. he only slight grumble was the crispy chicken strips that I had were very small and not very many of them. Frankie apologised but said the portion sizes were from head office. I had ordered the chicken strips because I have them several times from other GK pubs where they have been fantastic. Will definitely meet up there again but next time I will ask Frankie for a recommendation. When we left it had got very busy and a small observation was that they could have done wit more staff behind the bar. One of the drawbacks of ordering food at the bar and not the table.

We came for food yesterday and also went into the wacky indoor play area. The food was great, the service was brilliant all the staff were amazing with our little girl especially Karen she went above and beyond for us! We eat out at least twice a week and it makes such a difference for us as a family when someone takes so much time with our daughter! Karen you are amazing and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas thank you again!

We traveled from Birmingham to visited the pub on 15/12. Our booking was for the festive menu for our family Christmas get together with family who live local to the pub. On arrival myself and husband were quite shocked to find the tables for the festive menu were sardined into one corner of the pub. This meant there were three other BIG parties sat within inches of us. To get my little boy and pram in we had to disturb other groups to get past and being someone with anxiety and health conditions this didn’t start the meal off great for any of us. Once the other three parties had gone, we all agreed we started to actually enjoy our time at the pub and could actually hear each other and relax. The food was nice, but we did have to change two of the desserts from Christmas pudding to fudge cake as the Christmas pudding tasted more like basic fruit cake. The only food downside we all shared was that the puddings were cold. One thing we all agreed on was the service from the lady serving us was great, with her little stories and making a fuss of the kids. Also the baby changing facility floor was soaked in water when we went to change our little boy. Hopefully in future this area can be checked More regular to avoid this.

Enough seats for four adults and two children. Carvery was lovely. The Staff member on front of house was warm and welcoming and Karen who dealt with us while seated was a charm too. Thank you.

I had a tea yesterday with some colleagues and I was very disappointed. It was the worst dinner I ever had. The food was not fresh, it was awful and cold. Don't waste your time and money.

Great food, varied menu and such good value. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the payment system went down and staff were running around trying to sort it. The venue is so good. We've booked to come again.
