Plough and Harrow in Birmingham

Excellent food cooked by Liz as always! Excellent and welcoming service from Becky N, Seriously recommend their Surf and Turf and new flatbreads! Also a great selection of Gluten Free choices. Congratulations to Amy on your new role, it’s great to be back :)

Came with kids, had a lovely meal ,staff were fantastic and a great beer garden and park for littlens. All round great place 👍👍👍

I went with my family and ordered the pizza which is lovely, Ayla served us and she was super friendly. Definitely recommended to visit.

Leah was a lovely server, great atmosphere and very helpful staff. The food was brilliant and the area of dining was lovely and clean

Brilliant pub and a brilliant manger sophie is we had a lovely meal here today....................................

The atmosphere and food was amazing ! Our amazing waitress Leah was so friendly and always happy to help whenever we needed her. We will certainly be coming back again !

Went there 01/12/21 ordered burgers ultimate cheese and cowboy they were the cheapest burger I have ever been served so bad the could not be eaten

I was looking for a place for some basic pub grub , it needed to have a reasonable choice of gluten free food.I had tried several other pubs locally but had been left disappointed by the “ we cannot guarantee cross contamination” , or it’s down to you to decide.I happened to be passing so popped in for a chat, Sophie was very helpful, explained fully what was and wasn’t available on the gluten free side, booked it and reserved a table……..what could go wrong………..nothing that’s what..Sophie and the other girls working the bar were very friendly and incredibly helpful regarding my mates allergy , the food was served , it was hot and well cooked………it was standard pub grub but the kindness and knowledge of the staff and the help they gave us was excellent.Cracking job well done

Lovely food and real nice bar staff they have done amazing with the restrictions in place carnt fault the service will definitely visit again

Have been a couple times used to be a frequent visitor staff appear disengaged and not passionate. The app is complicated recieved a wrong drink. Seems the customer focus has been furloughed

After my first trip here since Lockdown, I was disappointed to find on our entrance a man using the most foulest language, several people who came in after me commented on the same man. On leaving he was still sat there and still talking so very loud that everyone could hear his foul mouthed conversation. Will not come here again. I am sure everyone in the pub and who works here knows who I am talking about as close to the bar and for everyone to hear.

This place is doing an amazing job dealing with all of the covid regulations , so impressed. Lunch today with 5 friends , great compliance, atmosphere and food . Thank you guys in unreal times you are doing a great job !

We had to wait 1 hour and 20 mins between our starter and main and 25 minutes for a few scoops of ice cream! We were the only ones in the restaurant and the service was still ridiculous - highlight of the meal was the drinks and still a rip off considering the service! Will not be visiting here again whilst waiting for our meals the chef was out for a quick cigarette. You’re better off getting a meal deal from the go-op next door ! I advise if you don’t like your time wasted that you search elsewhere before booking. Ruined my nan’s birthday meal. Wish I could vote less than 1!!! Gammon undercooked, pizza wrong toppings. To say we waited over an hour I wasn’t please to receive oven chips :/

Went for an eat out to help out special, was very rushed, we booked a table but they were turning people away, queue was massive to order. They had run out of a lot at 6 pm so we were a bit disappointed. They brought our mains whilst we were still eating our starter and made a seated table leave as they were over their time which made us feel rushed. I know they are busy but it all felt a bit forced. At least they were doing the covid track and trace. I was also disappointed when the staff watched a disabled lady on her own struggle from her car with a walking stick to the door to be turned away, fair enough but then whilst sat in the car park for the adjacent co op saw 2 people communicate to one of the waitresses clearing glasses outside whilst smoking a cigarette about getting a table for 2 and she let them in, they clearly hadn’t booked but seemed to know her. Food was nice though just had better service there.

The gammon, steak and garlic bread were all over cooked. I wasn’t going to complain as food was edible and it was very busy. A glass I was given had lipstick marks all over it and looked dirty ( not clean at all considering the COVID 19 guidance) the chicken strips came without the bbq sauce and desserts all came with ice cream although i asked for cream and ice cream on only 1 out of 4. Don’t think we were listened to properly and getting sachets of sauces etc was a nightmare!! Food was not the best and I wouldn’t eat there again!! To be fair if I realised it was a Marstons pub before ordering the food I wouldn’t of eaten here at all!!

Came for sunday lunch with friends we all had beef which was amazing as was the whole experience the bar and waiting staff were very pleasant and attentive we will be visiting again in the near future highly reccomend

Sunday afternoon meal with four adults and two kids.Food was decent with good portion sizes. Food took a while to come out but it was busy for a Sunday, I put that down to Liverpool Vs United being on.Menu choice was decent and would recommend The Oozy Floozy burger.

The food can be best described as average. The service was extremely slow approximately 1 hr. To receive the food the wait was not worth it. 1 of the bar staff continued to serve short measures even with pop. He did top the drinks up when asked very begrudgingly. Not a very good experience will be loathe to return

Had a great experience at the Plough and Harrow. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We were served quickly at the bar. Our food came out very quick and tasted amazing. The staff asked if our meals were okay and if we’d like any desserts, being very attentive. Can’t fault it at all. Definitely going back again soon!

Today we ate at the Plough and Harrow being served delicious food! There was an offer on burgers and pizzas for just £5 each (how can you beat that?!). Me and my wife thoroughly enjoyed our meal and our experience, thank you to Sophie and the team!

We had a family Sunday lunch, nothing fancy but excellent value and well cooked. The only downside is a particular complaint of mine, the state of the menus. One was thick with sauce, surely someone checks them regularly. My husband and I have many cheap lunches there and a couple of weeks ago I had a Raspberry Jam donut sundae. It was delicious and looked exactly like the image on the menu, which is unusual. So this time I receommended it and what a poor version it was, hardly a donut and everything buried under melting whipped cream, no waver and nothing like the image. Such a pity. The other desserts were great tho. Service in the main part, was cheery and good.

Visited with friends during lunchtime. Ordered hunters chicken jkt potato/salad The jkt came cut open on the top as normally acceptable however it was completely black inside how on earth had kitchen staff and waitress serving missed this I dont know !! Awful meal by the time I'd waited at the bar to complain and a replacement potatoes came my meal was cold left everything. No refund offered or dessert/drink. V disappointed. Will not be visiting again this was a week ago sent email no response.

Went with family. We all had a main and a dessert. Food came out hot and was tasty I had sausage and mash with Yorkshire pudding and my husband had the fish and scampi. Everybody was happy with their food. All the staff were lovely especially Sophie and Naomi. Will definitely return.

Fantastic pub great food staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again. The pub garden is very nice.

Fantastic experience, Andrew is excellent. Nothing to much trouble, wonderful customer service. Best Guinness in Sutton!

Putting aside the great beer garden and really food menu this place has to offer, it's really a disappointment when the service and some members of staff aren't great for the customer service.

Fab time, great staff, fab food great service. my granddaughter loved the outside area, very clean and tidy. will definately be returning.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Plough and Harrow, the beer was fantastic and Georgia and Andy were particularly welcoming and accommodating during my time at the Plough and Harrow

We went for food here with the family and what a great experience it was! The staff were very friendly and happy to help. We ordered the 2 for £12 Sunday roast and it was delicious. The meat was roasted fresh and was a lovely cut of roast beef. The meal was delicious and I definitely recommend!

Had a roast beef dinner. It was delicious, the Yorkshire pudding was fab. Everything was piping hot. Didn't have a pudding as I couldn't fit one in. The staff were lovely and the pub itself has a conservatory on the back that opens up onto gardens and play area that is amazing. Will be back soon.

Went here with the family and had pizza. It’s cooked fresh and made to order. We were able to choose our sauce and toppings. The cheesy garlic dough balls were so tasty! Will definitely be back to have this again.

This pub advertises that they show the football. Don't be fooled! The big champions League game is on one TV, with no sound, and bar staff who refuse to either turn the sound up or turn on the big screen despite it being down and ready to use. Ridiculous.

Portion sizes are somewhat small compared to other places, despite this service is friendly and food is up to standard.

We visited here for dinner earlier this week & were so impressed that one of the party has already returned! I have attached photos of our meals, which were all delicious and very plentiful in portion size. Everything was cooked perfectly and served with a smile. The staff who served us (Andy & Georgia) were very warm and friendly. Andy especially made us feel very welcome and you can see how important customer satisfaction is to him. Thank you both so much!

popped in for a late lunch/drinks and enjoyed some beautiful food. service was quick and on point. the chef, andrew, was very welcoming and personally attended to our table. would definitely recommend to a friend. keep it up guys and thanks again :-)

My husband and I popped in for a quick snack and drink. The food was on point service was quick and food was very nice. Would definitely recommend this place to friends and family. The chef Andrew even came out to see how our food was and say hello.

When ever we visit the plough we always recieve great customer service from Andrew, he goes above and beyond to make our visit special, if we eat there we only do so when he is in the kitchen as his food is cooked and presented better than the other chef's.

Food was okay too many mistakes made by staff who were very rude and surly one girl actually told me she couldn’t be bothered finding out information I asked for half of the food was off the menu. I won’t be going again

Met here with two other couples before going on to nearby hotel. We arrived at lunch time. We all had different meals and all were homely and sufficient. A large pub with large garden and plenty of parking. The staff were very helpful and cheerful. Can imagine it is the place to be when its party time or like us, a nice place to be at a quieter time.

Although this my local pub that I use on a regular basis I have not eaten anything apart from the breakfast before, so I decided that meet up with my friends and god children for dinner,

Monday evening meal with my elderly mum. The mushroom starter was amazing, at least 12 breaded mushrooms (some pubs give about 5) , some salad, and nice garlic dip. We then had the breaded plaice, chips and peas off the 'Light Bites' menu. Again absolutely amazed at the size of the portion, not small at all, so exceptional value.

Popped in for a pint after work. Smart bar and good service, but the Guinness was nothing to shout about. I'd probably go again.

Went for lunch with friends....lovely inside had a refurb and good parking a meal deal 3 course for £5.00...small but enought enjoyed ....and will go again

We came here to start our weekend. The kids menu was adequate, they also have a pizzeria. Standard menu lots of choice. The food was average.

Lovely menu - staff really welcoming and friendly at 8pm on a bank holiday Monday. Can recommend stacked Yorkshire’s and the mushroom salad 🥗 Lovely play area at rear for kids

Don’t bother going there, OMG! Food was so poor we left four meals. Wine was warm and of very poor standard. I would not entertain trying again. What a waste in a great area of Four Oaks, but standard 0/10 shut the place down and turn into a Weatherspoons!

We visited the pub after the refurb and were very happy, the team were brilliant and helpful. The pizza oven is great and the pub looks fantastic ! We will most definitely be back again soon. Thank you.

The place has been given a really nice refurb. Everything is shiny and new. The problem is, everything else is the same. It took me 3 attempts to order my meals as every time I went to the bar the thing I wanted was out of stock. In the end I had a pizza and my wife had the all day breakfast. Pizza was ok, nothing worth shouting about. Would have nice if it was actually hot and if the pizza slicer was clean. My wife's meal had burnt inedible bacon, greasy sausages that oozed fat and oil and an egg with the yolk broken, covering the plate. There was a grumpy manager who just didn't seem to care about customer service. It seems that the issues with the plough weren't how it looked but with the staff and quality of the food. We will just stick to avoiding the place unless we hear that they completely replace the management team.

After having a refurb we thought we'd try this place again. The refurb should have been a great opportunity to give this place a massive overhaul ...however it's much the same as before. Food is still basic and not that nice. I had an all day breakfast... sausages burst fat all over my plate, chips were bland and eggs barely cooked. The pizza's look very nice however, though we were limited by what food we could eat as they had so much food out of stock!! No burgers...so partner changed to a chicken burger...nope no stock. We were told by another couple sitting close by that they had no ham and some other things were also out of stock.

Went in for a food yesterday and well it was just lovely.. the food was stunning, the atmosphere was great and the new refurb is fantastic.. what a difference it makes.. already booked again for next week when I’ll be taking the whole family

I was passing the pub and noticed it had re opened after a few weeks being closed. I’d not been in for a few months and was pleasantly surprised with what I saw.

This place needs a serious overhaul!! Dowdy, worn and dark! Food awful, small portions and overcooked. Massive area outside but not utilised to it's full potential.

they are having some building work done so parking is a bit restricted, also lots of work vans park there. food is good though and staff are pleasant.

Quite busy each time I've been here. Good quality ales and a some wines. Food is pretty bland and not ideal if you're skipping meat. There's a pool table and dart board and also plenty of screens to watch the sports

The Manager is so miserable, as are some of the rude staff. This pub is not welcoming and is soooo tired. A friend of mine ordered some food for his son.... It looked so unappetising. This could be the last time I visit the place. The brewery need to replace the manager and invest some money in the place. Very disappointing!!!!

Seriously the place is falling apart. I sat down on this because the seat has broken with wood sticking up. Health and safety disaster!

Popped in for a quick lunch and 2 hours later left after a great meal and entertainment from a south staffs party . Joe was great and put up with some ignorance. The prawns were a delight and the raspberries and yogurt brilliant. Buttermilk chicken was so good. Recommend it although four prawns were a bit tight !

Located on the main road north out of Sutton Coldfield, stop off and enjoy the excellent facilities here. The interior is spacious and well appointed and there is a wide range of beverages available. The menu is comprehensive and although we only had the lunch special menu ( 2 courses for £12.50 or 3 for £15.00) with certain limited options, I am sure everyone can find something to their taste. I believe there is also a Sunday roast provided.

Love this pub, the atmosphere is great, food is always tasty, typical country pub gorgeous beer garden in the summer. Great for casual dinners

Out of choice I'd rather not return, better food from the chip chop, shame its my closest venue! The floors are sticky, the furnishings are dirty the menus stick to your fingers, this does not install high levels of hygiene in my mind. The food was awful we left most of it. The pubs in a nice area with a lovely large beer garden it really could do so much better!!

My wife and I live locally and this was not our first visit, having tried the Plough and Harrow a couple of times over the last 15 years. It has not been refurbished for years and the tables are so worn that the lacquer has peeled off in places. We called in at 12:20 today for a quick lunch. It was almost deserted at that time and we chose the light bite option of potato skins filled with bacon and cheese. Range of beers is ok and the food came out fairly quickly but was a bit greasy and uninspiring.

We visited the Plough and Harrow as two couples and thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

The fish & chips were good but the peas could have been hotter. The salad was ok but the chicken in it was hard and rubbery. A decent selection of beer but the coffee wasn't hot enough. We won't be going back for food.

Used to visit here as kids with my parents nearly 40 years ago on Sunday evenings. Took my father and sons for a Friday lunch. The place hasn't really changed. Lick of paint and seating, otherwise not.

We said we would never go back to this place but my wife said we should give them a second chance.........!

My wife and I visited this pub today and quite frankly we will probably not go back !

me and the other half and our friends go here for drinks mostly and it always has a good atmosphere and there is darts and pool to play as well. We have eater here once and the food was nice and it was cheap so couldn't complain. Staff are nice as well quite helpful. It is a busy place though.

Great pub food served by friendly, helpful staff. Does what it says on the tin. Getting better and better

I went to this pub today, was a sunny day and my boyfriend smokes so we were sitting outside, I wanted some food and was told by the rude member if staff that they don't serve food outside till at least easter (which is 2 weeks away).when I asked why she said well I have to carry the plate outside.been as thepub was empty and the staff were just standing behind the bar talking I wouldn't of thought that would be too hard.went down the road to the fox and dogs who were happy to carry my plate outside.very bad customer service, will not be returning

The quality here has fallen quite a lot. Most of the staff don't seem happy to be there, with exception of one or two. The food quality is below average and the thought of using any of the condiments in this place just turns my stomach. I found a dead fly floating in the vinegar and all of the pots seem very dirty. Also I'm glad there wasn't a fire as the fire exit closest to us still had a chair on the door.

I really don't understand the reviews on this pub. The staff look bored and don't seem to care about the customers except for one cheery lady who keeps the rest of the pub standing.The most awkward half hearted "laying out the cutlery" scenario just proves this. If they are going to do it, do it properly not just slap a napkin somewhere vaguely by a seat and put a knife and fork down on it. Food is extremely dull...you get what you pay for, cheap and not very imaginative.

I'm coming Saturday for a 16 birthday celebration so I hope food,manners,and pub have improved as it was bad last time I came before Christmas.

This was my first visit for a number of years and was very disappointed. The place looks tired and whilst the food was of with a good choice the service was terrible. It was ten minutes from the first person getting their meal to the last. We also asked for condiments and in the end gave up waiting. They appeared understaffed and didn't attempt to make up for it in charm!

Came here with partner before visiting IKEA. We came earlier in the year and fancied a retry as food was okay. The pub had more staff than customers inside, but I did find the staff to be lovely, which is a shame as their workplace isnt....

Went with my nan as we usually do and we came in and ordered our food I had the chicken and rice wrap and chips and my nan had hunters chicken with bacon both our chips was cold and my Nan's chicken was tough and mine was chewy not edible and we was told we could have free deserts which we did not have when we ordered the cups of tea only one came and we asked for the other and both the teas were both cold will not be coming again

No wonder the place was deserted. Poor food, poor, bordering on rude service and a slowness that would make you think there were 1000 people in there, not less than a dozen. I may be wrong but the food tasted microwaved. When it finally came. The playground has certainly seen better days too. I'm disappointed as this used to be a fun place with great food, fun events and a terrific everyone is welcome atmosphere. Used to see famous people in there regularly; that's how good it was. Everything it was, it now isn't. The character and authenticity has gone and it's another faceless pub.

Been visiting for the past 2 years, and have always been impressed by the quality of the food, especially considering the low prices. Not any more.

This has been our local for over 12 years and we have always taken friends and family, however it seems to be going from bad to worth with dirty tables and sticky menus. With other pubs in the area recently refurbished we will be walking the extra distance. The beer garden has always been a plus but the outside is not looking scruffy and in need of massive maintenance.

Pub definitely needs a refurb and a lick of paint but very popular due to the beer garden and kids play area. Often visit for drinks but recently tried the food which was good value and portions were large and served hot. Typical pub food, burgers, fish and chips etc. Good value kids menu.

I took my wife and mother in law here for lunch, from first impressions we thought it was closed due to work vans on the car park and it looked like they were well needed as the outside especially the gutters looked like they have not seen a coat of paint since the 80's! But no it was open and we went in, there was a sign at the entrance to the conservatory saying reserved, and what a shame it looked like they were the best seats. Anyway the lady serving people in there looked just like she had lost all hope, the place was pretty empty but it was a hot day and at that point we felt like we would just give it a go. We sat down on one of the many mixed choices of furniture you have to choose from in there, one set of table and chairs doesn't match the next witch I thought was quite funny, anyway turns out you have to go to the bar to order as the really unfriendly lady told us. so I had the chicken, bacon and cheese with chips and my wife had the baked potato with cheese and beans, my mother in law had the beef sunday roast. With drinks this came to just over £20 for the 3 of us and I have to say I did not think it was bad value. When we sat back down I couldn't help but get a good look around and oh my god it was like 80's butlins went to Greece! Its a mix and match of really out dated curtains and carpet, with a horrible kinda Greece theme that's just old! There are dirt marks on the walls, the windows look like they gave up hope just like the staff, and its just so dark and outdated it could really really benefit from a coat of paint and the curtains coming down! Our meals were ok apart from the beef on the sunday roast, you would need a pair of bolt cutters and the jaws of a shark to eat that but one problem with the three meals is not to bad. I went to pour my non alcoholic beer into a glass (Yeh I'm the driver) when I thought better of it, It looked just gammy.

After a horrendous experience at the establishment down the road, our family party of 12 sought solace here. It was Sunday afternoon, but they accommodated us. The food was good; the service was exceptional and there's a lovely play area in the gardens at the back. Our new local

Loved this place, so have already been back, great food, wine lovely decor and a lovely atmosphere Would highly recommend it.

A regular of mine. Service has improved drastically over the last two years, pleased to say it is consistent. Staff are fairly young and sometimes lack food knowledge meaning they have to go back into the kitchen to check on the query at hand. The Duck Salad is beautiful, as a starter or a main, as well as their Belgian Frites (fries w/ aioli and paprika - which you have to ask for as an extra since they have replaced their menu with an updated one). The special's tend to be attractive, sometimes it's hard to choose what to have! There is a fish dish here that comes with a velouté and samphire, replace the fish with Sea Bass and keep everything else the same - it's glorious. Love the atmosphere, the lighting and the warmth here. A country-pub style venue embracing all its former glory with low ceilings and beams.

Went to the plough and harrow to start a night out in Sutton with friends. A brilliant start to the night! 10 of us came in, were made to feel really welcome and the bar staff told us all the drink offers that were on! We'll definitely be back!! Thank you!!

Visited here with my partner on a Friday lunch. Found the food and service lovely. Much needed referb tho as pub is grotty.

We had a great time at the plough. Food was great value. Wednesday night we had curry and a pint of fosters for £5.95

It doesn't have the atmosphere that I remember so fondly in the 6 years I worked there in the late 80s and early 90s (whose idea was it to remove the old bar?) but I still enjoy going now and again. The food is nice, the beer is good (some lovely real ale) and it's a nice place to bring a group of family or friends.

We went here primarily because the menu was the same as another pub we like. The printed menu was the only similarity. The food was dull in the extreme and the whole place looked very tired and dated and is desperately in need of renovation.

Nice interior but feel that they think they are a restaurant.....when actually they are a pub selling food!! Feel they they are a little overpriced and would attract more if their prices were reduced.

good value pub food and the beer garden was great for the kids, the sport in the bar area was an added bonus!
