Plough in Welwyn Hatfield

Very polite staff 👌 good service 👍

Traditional pub with plenty of parking. Chain pub food menu but nicely served & prepared. Great staff.

A first time visit to The Plough today. (Table 22)Lovely pub. Very friendly and helpful staff and customers are nice too! A big thank you to 'Liv' who made our experience so relaxed and enjoyable. Our dietary requirements were all catered to with great alternatives and options suggested. Lovely Liv was so friendly and welcoming and utterly professional. First class service! We will definitely be returning!

Lisa Remy and Holly What great evening enthusiastic staff felt very at home highly recommend it on happier on my doorstep

We went on Halloween so we were expecting it to be busy and it was. Our original table was broken and wobbly and the waitress was reluctant to move us to a different table, but did eventually. The food was good, the service was a little lacking. We had to approach the bar to ask for the bill.

Great friendly place with great food and service went there on the 7th may 2023 , today 20th the service was little to slow and the menu has been wittled down to not much choice no ribs which disappointed me, I still go but not as often as I did before

pub needs to vary its menu more frequently and a wider variety, plus a specials board

Had a Birthday meal on a Sat night,it was the worse service l have ever had in a restaurant. There were two young girls waiting on tables and serving drinks,they done their best but obviously never been trained.There were eight of us we waited half an hour for our first drink,then again for our meal Had to go and ask for tables to be cleared,more drinks,dessert menus.Would never go back again,no apologies,although l must say it wasn't the waitresses fault.

Nice burgers, good options - nothing out of this world, standard pub fare really but good all round. Service was nice and friendly, the pub is clean and comfortable and the menu has something for everyone, while the prices are fair. Worth a visit for lunch or dinner.

We had a great experience. Lola was our hostess and she was brilliant. She took care of us and kept checking if everything was okay. Very polite and friendly.

I had a Chicken thighs with vegetables and a soft drink .The William Leefe Robinson memorial is not far from this pub.

Used to have a great team working here but it's hit and miss now depending on who you get. Bar area is small and people sitting at bar don't make it easy to get in and get served and make you feel like you are in their way. Open the other bar up to help with this

Been a couple times. Top notch on both occasions. Food was amazing. They also have board games and cards available to play. Nice and chilled environment. Would recommend.

Lovely friendly at atmosphere , nice clean place and excellent food . I am a coeliac and they looked after me very well . The only downside was the coffee was not hot enough . Our waitress was very friendly and efficient at her job , her name Lola

Enjoyed a Sunday roast (lamb shank) My son opted for the three meat roast Both equally delicious. Our server (Lucy) is pleasant & friendly Offering us great service. Would 💯 recommend this place to dine/drinks.

Served by both Holly & Emily who were excellent. Really helpful & attentive. Good atmosphere & pleasant evening. Thank you ladies

Another great meal at The plough Cuffley great service and food served by Holly and Emily. So pleased to call this our local.

Great meal served by the lovely Remy. She was very proactive as she noticed our drinks were almost finished and immediately came over and asked if we wanted refills. An asset to the Plough. We will be back soon.

Emily was our waitress was amazing. Very attentive and very polite.

The food was lovely and the staff too especially Lola & Remy. I always come back for a lovely lunch here and a nice experience.

Great evening food as usual was well presented hot & tasty. Deanna as always went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with our meal, she is an asset to the pub

nice spot with a decent beer selection and excellent service chicken set meal was tasty apart from the house slaw which tasted like it was from a packet

Great staff...Great pub amazing food Ribs are yummy

Terrible Sunday meal...service very slow. Would not recommend

Only went for a few drinks . Nice place and staff

Served cold food. Chips for 3 of our party were tempid. Overall the food was awful. I was looking forward to the roast.☹️ Disappointed .

The restaurant was clean and pleasantly laid out. All the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was not only very tasty, the portions were generous. Slight deviations to the menu were accepted without quibble. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Great food and service and atmosphere was really nice too.

It's a nice place to be. Nice customer service and the foods are quite tasty. Yummy

Came here for Father's day and it did not disappoint. Really lovely food, good service. Definitely recommend it and certainly will be back.

My wife & I had a meal there yesterday afternoon. We had excellent service from Remy, the food was good and there were some nice 'specials'. A very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Enjoyed my fish and chips 🍟 🐟 Dinner

Staff were superb very helpful and friendly, food was superb and great value for money, will definitely recommend if your in the area,

Lovely pub, service was attentivecwithout being over the top, food was excellent and good value for money.

This pub has been getting progressively worse over the past year. The kitchen staff do not seem to care if the food they serve is of a decent standard and the waiters do not seem to care much now either. This must be down to poor management not caring. It’s a shame as we’ve been coming here for years and it used to be great.

I have always loved this pub. Great food and great variety of it and very friendly staff very welcoming. There is a great atmosphere in the pub never been disappointed always come away satisfied. Would 100% recommend it to people.

Nice place for a couple of beers...

Food for group was generally OK but the chicken & mushroom pie was pretty awful

Nice atmosphere, staff friendly and helpful

This was our second visit in 12 months and it has continued to exceed our expectations. Thank You.

We went there for a meal, food wasn’t that great and did disappoint, service forgot our requests and no drinks offered to us, but tables around us did. Not a great experience, will not go back

The Plough is our local and we used to go there a lot. Then it went really downhill - this was long before the pandemic, so no excuses. However, we were told it has improved so had lunch there. Yes, it has improved and there is a much better choice of food. The staff were friendly. However, the food doesn't come up to the standards of other local pubs and cafés. It was mediocre. May pop in another time just incase we went on a bad day though.

Very pleased with everything, nothing exceptional, but a good pub lunch.

Really disappointing. Hardly anything left on their menu. Presentation awful, food burnt & looked like it had been thrown onto the plates. Previously regular customers but not anymore. It was dreadful!

Good basic pub grub, friendly efficient service

Very enjoyable. Good atmosphere and good beers/lagers.

Food was very nice but the poor waitresses are so busy that they do tend to forget certain things but I don't feel that is their responsibility but apart from that it was a nice meal and I would go yhere again.

Great pub atmosphere and a lovely venue for Xmas Dinner!

Disappointed after many years the menu has changed to chicken majority. It was plentiful and brought skewers home for tea, but the old menu suited many.

Nice space, tasty food, good selection of beverages and sensible prices! Bonus points for not imposing a thieving service charge for food bookings!

We came to the plough as a party of 14 for pre Xmas lunch and we were very pleasantly impressed.The food was excellent with a few exceptions I.e.pate was not particularly nice and there was not enough sauce on the prawn cocktail,the main course which we all had various dishes of the menu was absolutely delicious and very good portion size and we found a chef who could actually cook vegetable’s properly ( not rock hard as we have experienced in other places) ,there was very varied menu of desserts all of which were delicious but I think the most praise would have to go to the staff,they were superb nothing was too much trouble , I had ordered a gluten free dinner but somehow unfortunately it hadn’t translated that way on the final list,no problem it was very quickly rectified without any fuss whatsoever. ,We were made to feel very welcome they were extremely efficient even though they were busy. It was our first time at the Plough and it most certainly won’t be the last . We will certainly recommend this pub for lunch to anyone.

Went 4wks ago when I couldnt praise it enough. Not this time unfortunately.

Lovely food and good atmosphere.

We celebrated my Mums birthday here and we're pleasantly surprised. I have come dread eating out as there is always something wrong with either the food or the service. However the Plough has quite rightly placed it self at the top of my 'local places to eat on a Sunday' list. Don't take my word for it, try it out for yourselves and I think you will agree, generous portions sizes and down to earth prices, a very rare combination indeed. Pair these with friendly staff and calming surroundings and you have a lovely restaurant/pub. A heartfelt thank you all involved.

Had lunch here today 6 of us it was the best meal I've had in a long time everybody's food was excellent would recommend.

Vegan mains and vegan cheesecake were delicious.

Lovely pub great staff perfect location lots of parking...but slow on service

Very nice atmosphere, good service reasonable prices nice latte

First time here, food was excellent. Tasty, hot and a fair variety of options. Vegan cluckless gougons were a bit hit and the BBQ ribs were great. Our server was excellent, attentive and very helpful. Will be visiting again soon

I had fish and chips also my friend too. It was the worst fish and chips I ever had. It was over cooked, dry couldn't get fish meat from inside the butter.😠 Never eat there again. Staff were very friendly. Atmosphere is good too.

Been here twice when I visit my mum she's a regular here and I can see why . Lovely food nice staff cozy .it's a long way to travel 😄 but worth it My mum Teresa as mentioned visits often :-)

Friendly and attentive staff and nicely presented tasty food.

Great food, attentive, friendly service from Connor. Will come again!

My local (and nearest) pub I have been there many times over the years on social events, family dinners and dates. The service has always been to a high standard and the staff are always lovely and can't do enough to help you out. For a chain pun the food is brilliant I can honestly say in the 6 years I have ate and drank there I have never had a bad meal or left dissatisfied. My one and only gripe is the bar area to the far side of the pub tends to get abit crowded with older patrons who sit at the bar blocking it off on occasion making it harder than necessary when you just want to grab a pint. Otherwise I can't fault the place.

Great food & great service in a lovely location!!

Pleasant staff and good food in Nice surroundings.

Lovely food. Helpful & friendly staff

Always enjoy eating here, the staff are very polite friendly and helpful and the food is lovely and good value for money. Great for a family get together

Lovely food, staff were excellent

Roast meal swimming in gravy, very, very salty. Sent it back. New meal roast didn't didnt have gravy but potatoes very salty. Not going there again

Always love the pub but food always a let down. Ordered Loaded Hummus Bowl. Was just a bowl of sloppy hummus, tiny guacamole, spoonful of salad and 3 pieces of flatbread. Pulled rotisserie chicken added which one one mouthful of poor chicken. Nice atmosphere for drinks but food always let down

Delightful experience at the Plough, the staff is kind and quick to answer your requests, the food is tasty and cooked on your request, the rotisserie chicken is my favourite.

We had a nice meal on Mother's Day. Very busy obviously, but the experience overall was fine. Staff were friendly.

Came here for a Sunday dinner, The food and service were really good! Great pint of Guinness, too! Had the pork guest roast, and this was amazing. the meat was perfect, and all the trimmings. Really nice Yorkshire pud too. Dessert was amazing and all for a good price for 4 people.

We went here for a meal. The staff were so lovely and friendly. Great service but the food was so poor that I had to mark the place down as a result. I would love for someone to have told me there were no healthy options on the menu and everything tasted greasy. My Hunters chicken tasted like it had been microwaved. It was tough and chewy. Everything looked frozen rubbish that I saw on others plates. Not much more to say.

Another McMullens Pub/Restaurant. Good Service and Food Selection. Cheering Staff and Friendly team. Sunday Roast are Excellent. Good Choice of Menu. Good Portions and Very Good quality and Great Value for money .

Had Lunch here today. In a nutshell, the above average food was let down by poor Waiting and Kitchen Staff. I honestly don't think it was down to capability but lack of bodies to cope with service The two waitresses did not stop in the 2 hours we were there, due to this, small things were being missed such as additional cutlery and plates being removed for the next courses. Also, 20 minute wait between main and dessert and when asked apparently the ticket was lost? A few more staff will see a quicker turnaround of tables for you guys.

Loved the food, lovely service not long to wait for food

Good atmosphere, disappointing food.

Sunday roast are excellent and the service is excellent I would give it 10 out of 10 for the food and the service

Great food and even the limited menu has good choice, went during the eat out to help out scheme for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the hunter's chicken!! Edit: Quality seems to have gone downhill with our last experience having incomplete dishes. The salad ordered didn't come with the dressing mentioned and some of the ingredients were also missing, reducing it to simply some chopped vegetables in a bowl, disappointing.

Good starters and main course menu but limited on desserts for coeliacs

Food was good, some of our party weren't as pleased, service was a little sluggish, which we felt more because of two young children. Nice atmosphere, team were friendly.

Nice pub, nice meal, very clean and modern. Would recommend and revisit 5*

Great food, lovely atmosphere. We've eaten here before and will definitely keep coming back.

Excellent Pub/Restaurant, relaxed atmosphere with great staff (no rush to order food). Food was top notch and very reasonable priced, excellent value for money. Will 100% book again when I'm in the area, whether for a pint and lunch or take the family out for a dinner.

Visited the day before Christmas Eve and wasn’t overall to impressed. Ordered 4 starters being the chicken wings which were horrible! Halloumi fries which were decent, the spicy prawns again average and the nachos my partner really enjoyed. We also ordered a cheese and bacon burger which was nice but the burger itself was very dry & not very nice quality meat. My daughter had a kids meal which she enjoyed. The Drinks advertised on the menu weren’t available and were talking 3/4 different drinks or shots. The staff were very friendly and one waiter took the time to help us get a cab home as our battery had died so thank you!

Good food good service. Very nice ambiance.

Best local pub, food is top tier and good taps

This place got two sections: a bar and a restaurant. The bar area is alive with people chatting and drinking. On the other side, the restaurant had a setting that seems to be family friendly and quieter for people to have a proper chat. I had a fuzzy drink at the bar where the bartender was respecting the queue and serving people in turn.

Amazing food and great value for money!

Lovely pub. Nice and chilled atmosphere. Friendly staff. A good selection of beers, wines, and spirits.

Great pub food with friendly and helpful staff they have the normal menu + a specials menu as well

Went to the plough on Friday 25th with some friends The food which is usually really nice was very disappointing The steak pie was awful The vegetables was simply what looked lleftovers and chips awful Really not enjoyable

What can I say, the place was very clean and tidy, including the toilet area, though a bit small... The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the service was excellent... The food was gorgeous, very tasty and cooked to perfection, can't say that about most pubs nowadays. Portion size was just on the size of big. The only thing that was a bit odd is that they served the fish and chips on a plate with like a newspaper sheet on it.. Apart from that 5 stars.

Very friendly staff, well presented food, reasonably priced and good variety .

I was here with family members. Good food and large portions. The pub-restaurant looks nice. Staff should issue diners ordering steaks with steak knives. Ordinary knives just don't cut it - literally.

Great atmosphere,very friendly staff,food reasonable prices.

Had a beer and sandwich very nice

Cosy small pub. Cheap drinks and good food
