Plough Inn in Eastleigh

Always a good place for a Sunday roast

Nice quiet place for an afternoon beer.

Good service especially checking and giving information of allergies and intolerance. Waiting staff very open to discussing the options. Parking good. Beer fine. Nieve served us well However I find it strange that while all the table sauces and salt are in see through glass condiments the pepper is not. Pepper mill is wooden and mostly empty. When suggested the use of refillable glass pepper mills might be better than wooden I was give the message that it was " company policy" to use them . This is a policy which should be reconsidered as see through pepper mills could be quickly replaced when low or empty

Very poor Sunday dinner. The beef was like tough leather, vegetables barely recognisable and cauliflower cheese extras were a complete rip off at £9 for 4 people. The service was non-existent. Sad to say it was a real disappointment.

Food was lovely and service was very good too.

Very friendly service. Great food!

Great food, friendly service, what more do you want?

Wonderful location, fantastic food. Well priced. Not too noise but a great atmosphere. Well might with out being too bright. Im autistic, and it was not too over whelming for me. So i recommend :)

Food was lovely, and our server Luke was also very nice and friendly

Food was nice. Most staff friendly. Slight issue with 1 dish but after I found a staff member to raise the issue they apologised and rectified the problem. Encountered some strange issues like no wine list. No large bottles of prosecco available only small individual bottles. Providing table service but not being able to take payment at the table so we all had to up to bar and pay at the end of the meal.

Attentive but not over attentive service. Well done see you soon!

Liam was amazing! Went above and beyond to ensure our visit was lovely and enjoyed by all

Good food, great service, nice environment and not bad value for money

Food was OK, not great. Fish and half a dozen chips and a spoonful of dried peas. The pie looked nicer and the desserts were generous.

Good food and excellent service.

Wonderful meal with my family on a Sunday. We all had delicious roast dinner and deserts with coffee. Phoabe was our waitress and she was amazing. Also excellent service with our allergies thank you

Fantastic waitress (Pheobe) who knows her stuff. Very helpful staff with food allergies. Plenty of food and lovely atmosphere. Beef a bit tough but tasty. Other meats for the Sunday roast. Will definitely come again.

Best place to eat near bursledon lovely service waiters we're kind and tasty food

Fuimos al arado por mis nietas en la 18. El personal era muy atento y amable. La comida era genial. Sin duda recomendaría.

Always a lovely meal. Very welcoming and friendly staff and doggies are welcome too!

Attentive without being intrusive staff and a good Sunday roast.. recommend

I came in at lunchtime as my car was being repaired nearby and I'm glad that I did. As soon as I walked in, I loved the decor. It was inviting and I loved the furniture. The staff are warm and friendly and you get the feeling that you could in as a lone person and not feel out of place. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely stop in for some food. I had the haloumi wrap which was delicious.

Only visited for a drink, so I can not comment on the food.

Absolutely disgusting food for the money we paid, I can only say it was more of a childs portion. We spend less for a meal and get alot more elsewhere, sorry won't be returning.

Halloumi fries and cheesy garlic bread were stunning. Amazing and cosy atmosphere when you walk in as well. Definitely will be going back!

Lovely pub restaurant, good food good service, we will visit again soon .

Fantastic service, great menu, and food was excellent. Table for 2 and great value for money. Would highly recommend that you visit.

Excellent service. Our server Liam was amazing. Brilliant food. Overall fantastic service.

Lovely hot fish and chips great service what's not to like

Great pub lovely food and reasonable prices

1st time there food was fantastic and dog friendly ruff

Nice place for quick catch up. Outdoor area good

Food was ok, cost per portion size in other places was the think that knocked this down (the food was good)

The plough tends to do do offers throughout the week for example 33% on Monday and on a Sunday after 5pm £10 a roast dinner so as we are very local and new to the area thought we give it a go so arrived after 5pm Sunday to try the roast but was told that we couldn’t have the roast for £10 as we failed to book but there’s no mention of this on the board and to be honest the lady on the cashier didn’t really give for my point either so we left disappointed so I can’t really comment on the food but asked for the manager and was told they where not here convenient, shame but go up the road to the Talisman same franchise and a completely different result.

I’m booking table opposite windows, coming today and young lady telling not available table for two people.This service totality rubbish. I’m not happy and never ever back this place.

Would give no stars if possible. We visited here for some food and a few drinks and tried to order a sharing platter which included calamari. My partner has a fish allergy so we asked if this could be swapped for anything else or even not included and the bar staff nor the manager would accommodate this. Although all of the food is prepared separately and can be ordered separately it seems absolutely ridiculous that one item could not be removed from the combo offer. We would have been happy to just have the item removed and not swapped for anything else but this was not even presented as an option. It left us thinking would you be able to order a burger without the bun to accommodate coeliac needs. In addition no allergy menu was offered instead after informing us the combo platter could not be altered. Would not come for food again as they don’t seem to bothered about adapting menu items for allergies or informing

Unfortunately, they got our food order wrong, however this was quickly resolved and we weren't charged for the wasted food.

I absolutely love the restaurant part of The Plough. The bar is great too, but the food is really good! The staff are really helpful and friendly. The 'Fun Friday' offers are definitely a good bargain, especially the wine. All in all, great atmosphere and great food & service.

Great food the play area could do with a little more securing as the is a gap in fence that leads into the main road

Fantastic evening, 15 people, all served with Fantastic food. Maybe a few more vegan or vegetarian options would be good, especially due to a lot of people opting for a non meat, dairy diet..the new owner is a passionate, positive and friendly person...nothing was too much of a problem...we will be going back soon..xx

Myself and my new Husband have visited the Plough a number of times now and have never had a bad experience. So much so we decided to have our wedding reception there and we couldn't have been happier with our choice! Mark and the team did absolutely everything to make our day perfect and the food and service was impeccable. Every one of our guests commented on how good everything was and the atmosphere was just lovely! This is the same every time we visit and it is now our usual great pub to visit for a lovely meal. We cannot recommend it enough!

Good food at a good price , excellent service too.

I came all the way from London, to see my family and was told your restaurant did the most amazing Sunday roast. I pre booked the table and upon arrival we were shown to our table. We ordered drinks and shared starter, that was fine and for our mains we all ordered the Roast Beef with sides of pigs in blankets and cauliflower cheese. Unfortunately the meal was inedible. The beef was grisly making it impossible to cut even with a steak knife. The entire meal was coated in oil with the Yorkshire pudding dripping with it and the cauliflower cheese was burnt. The young lady who served us was lovely but the chefs really need to check the food before leaving the kitchen.

Very expensive chilli ready meal, not very good, would not recommend the food

Great place to eat with very friendly and helpful staff

We arrived at a very busy time but the wait was uncomfortably long and there was a lot of " run out of.... " But the service was very pleasant and helpful and the food, when it did arrive was perfectly cooked and very nice indeed. Very reasonable prices! Can't really fault them too much for being very busy when the end product was so nice.

A very nice pub, but the food is extremely poor. Ive been here 3 times now a fee months apart, lovely to go for a drink. But the two times I ordered food it was shocking, my microwave could have done a better job armed with some lidl frozen food.

2 of our main meals had to be sent back. The banana on the banoffee waffles was pretty much rotten and one was completely wrong. Waited an hour for a main meal and 40 mins for desert and still charged 125 for the meal. Fair to say I will not be going back there ever again. Oh also I had a portion of triple cooked chips that were single cooked at a push and only had 11 on the plate. Waste of money! Advise not to go there to eat at all. Also in repose to your automated response which my partner has also received I wouldn’t exactly call that day busy maybe average for a dinner time but certainly not busy!!!

Wow! Primero fui al arado cuando tenía 5 años (hace 50 años). Se ha ido la botella de pop y una bolsa de patatas fritas en el jardín (a menos que eso sea lo que quieres). Reemplazado con buena comida y gran servicio. Bien hecho al manager Mark, Luke y el resto del equipo. A mi esposa le encantó el nuevo toque de papa en un pastel de pescado y el resto de nosotros disfrutamos de los tradicionales asados dominicales. ¡Encantado de conocer a un equipo que realmente le gusta la gente y lo que hacen! Sentí que sería un poco exagerado entrar en la cocina y estrechar la mano del chef que se merecían.

Food service very good. Dog friendly. Very nice beer garden.

Nice atmosphere, plenty of outdoor space, friendly attentive staff. Food was a bit hit and miss some loved it.

Nice location pleasant staff terrible menu poor quality food.

Run out of roast dinners pretty poor considering it's on there menu our party of 10 were really upset about it , they gave us a bottle of presseco as a sorry gesture but the other options were great

Personal Acogedor y amable con una sonrisa en sus caras. Menú falta en las comidas principales. Tuvimos pollo Schnitzel con ensalada y patatas nuevas. No estaba impresionado por la mirada seca en el plato cuando llegó. Mucho, no mojó el apetito, el sabor era bueno pero eso fue todo. El precio era demasiado alto. Solía disfrutar de la experiencia. No regresará por algún tiempo.

El personal inútil miserable, a pesar de reservar una mesa al aire libre en línea, a la llegada se les dijo que no eran reservables! Obviamente la camarera del bar comía cuando servía a los clientes ignorada en el bar mientras comía. Mesas sucias, el pub estaba vacío para 2100.

Really disappointed on this visit. There was no table service. We were just told to order everything at the bar. Lack of service at the bar only a part of the bar open. Very few staff for a lunch time. Had run out of the wine we normally order. Zinfandel is not a rare wine. Ordered Fish & Chips not a difficult dish. Fish overcooked not many chips. Food left on the floor from previous diners not cleaned up. Not what we've been used too here. Shame.

Lovely place for family, great food and delicious ice cream

Absolutely amazing service. From the moment we walked in we felt welcome.

Fuimos como una fiesta de 9. Buena comida y servicio excepcional. Tuvimos 3 niños que querían ajustes a sus platos, y honestamente, nada era demasiado problema.

Wouldn’t bother going here again. This is our third time visiting in and whilst food has always been ok (average at best), the general atmosphere of the place is enough to put anyone off. In 2/3 of the occasions we visited our party was greeted by an extremely ignorant, hard faced and quite frankly - miserable - waitress. She made little to no conversation with us and this came off standoffish and rude, very off putting. She also gave us a disapproving look when we said we hadn’t booked but given the restaurant was practically empty I don’t see what the issue was here. We had to order drinks at the bar despite having table service in the restaurant and each time she visited our table she was just miserable. The food, as mentioned, was fine but nothing special. Drinks were ok, again, nothing special. There was quite a few workmen type groups drinking quite heavily so not appropriate for families with young kids like ours especially when it became a bit rowdy later on in the evening. This is a real shame for the venue given that other H&W chains we have been to have been great but this one has repeatedly disappointed us and we won’t be going back. I don’t like to “out” individual staff members however this was clearly the predominant downfall of our visit and perhaps it was a bad day but it really dampened our time.

Enjoyed the food, quick and attentive service, nice place - quiet on a Monday lunchtime but not so quiet it's weird!

Me and my parents visited the Plough as we were driving past and it looked like a nice spot for lunch. We were met with amazing service from the moment we stepped in to when we left. The staff were so friendly and answered any questions we had. In particular, we were served by the lovely Ellie who was very attentive to us. The food was delicious and there was plenty of options for vegetarians

The food here is of a very high standard, tasty and fresh, and a nice mid level pub experience. Lovely inside and a very large patio and garden with a play area for the kids. The pub is situated next to a paddock with horses, which adds to the country feel and ambience. The service was a little off. The starter, for some reason, was out at the same time as the main. It seemed to take a long time to get our drinks order to appear, and they waiting staff seemed disinterested in clearing our plates. I am giving this place 5 stars as the food was very nice and we shall return, that doesn't mean improvements can not be made, but I would recommend this pub.

I know they're offering 1/3 off on food on Mondays but I didn't expect the cost to them to be offset by not heating the plates the meal is served on.

Charged £12.50 for a hot dog with half a bun! Unapologetically shameless.

Very quite nut Karen behind the bar was lovely. Very friendly and welcoming

A lovely meal in a friendly setting. Ample seating with both inside & outside tables available

Lovely pub with great food and excellent service 👍

Came for dinner tonight with a friend and we were so excited about the menu. Unfortunately was let down slightly by my food being stone cold and being served our coffee with lipstick on the cup. It was replaced in a timely manner and was lovely once we had it. However, the lovely waitress Neive was phenomenal. Super friendly, really sweet and had great banter with us. She was really attentive, looked after us well and made sure she did all she could for us. Service 100% made up for the food being cold. If we didn't have Neive I can honestly say that we wouldn't of enjoyed our evening. Such a down to earth person, thanks so much for looking after us.

Lovley cosy pub with great service, food, and atmosphere. Kids also loved the playground!

Met up with a friend & her partner for a long overdue catch up. First time for the 3 of as to visit this place and we liked it throughout are stay here for a Sunday lunch and dessert. A massive beer garden and car park so can't go wrong there. Staff was nice enough busy while we was there as it was the last bank holiday weekend in May.

Quality service,super staff and food.Family friendly atmosphere. There were 5 adults and our ten year old..Our table service by Becci was excellent. I look forward to coming again with my family.

Staff very nice. One waitress bless her a bit overbearing with help. Can't recommend the flat iron steak, tuff. Cold cabbage with fish pie which I can make myself 100% better. Management strive to please but unfortunately it's the chef that needs to cook or change the produce better. Sad as was recommended and met with friends after 13years. Outside seating area very pleasant.

It's ok... food is ok, to be honest it's pricey for the quality. Drinks are not cheap either. Huge space, tonnes of empty tables but the staff insisted on seating us right next to another group which was awkward because you felt like you were listening to each other. Sorry to say nothing to write home about.

Friendly staff & lovely food- we had the roast it was amazing

Lovely place to sit outside in the sun and have a drink. They have a play area outside, which is great.

Fish and chips fine,End of service Roast which is 3pm on was a selection of overcooked potatoes,Yorkshire puddings and cauliflower cheese,which was an extra side.Service really good but not a £20 roast dinner.

From arrival to departure really good service and excellent food. We had made a request for a certain table which was noted and fortunately they were able to oblige

Waitress behind the bar with glasses on was extremely rude . Asked me what I wanted then immediately huffed and flapped her hands at me rushing me to choose when she literally just asked me . The macaroni cheese dish I can only describe as a toddler size portion . The fact it’s £12.95 a plate is disgusting there was more salad than actual proper food . Dishes had already run out (beef Canaloni) and the chilli con carne had more beans in it than actual meat ! And to top it all off the cheesy garlic bread we ordered didn’t come out . Waiting patiently for a few minutes thinking it will come out shortly but never did . In the end I had to ask for it and the waitress attitude sucked as she treated me like I was lying for a freebie as she checked on the system . When it finally did come I extremely they may have run out of cheese as there was next to none on there and clearly had been sat under the heat lamp for far too long . Wouldn’t go back in a hurry . Staff looked fed up and tired of hearing people moan 3 other tables of customers complained where we were sat . There was one waitress who was clearly quite new and seemed a little overwhelmed but she tried her best and lovely

Nice place to grab a pub lunch or later dinner. I find the food can be hit and miss. I've had some lovely food but other times not so great. I would avoid the steak. Service can be slow but the last time I went the waitress was excellent- best service in a long time.

Warm and welcoming, very polite and helpful staff. Food was lovely. Will definitely be back.

This would be a 1* review....But....On Sunday the roast dinner is fantastic. So much so, I've previously visited 3 or 4 times in the past 6 months. Never booked before, it's a pub. Spur of the moment decision. Did the same thing again today...to be told... "we don't do walk ins". Half a dozen spare tables and not overly busy ? Shame, probs' won't go back again. Must be a new policy.

Lovely food with 33% off on mondays

Nice but the staff seemed overworked, pleasant however.

This was my first visit to The Plough and I'm hoping it won't be my last. We'd pre-booked a table for early evening and were promptly guided to our table on arrival. The place is huge so I was initially worried about how long we'd probably have to wait. But no worries, every member of staff was extremely helpful, cheerful and nothing too much trouble. They'd obviously had a very busy Sunday lunch service during the afternoon as they'd run out of a couple of the extra side dishes. This was explained before we ordered but wasn't an issue for us as our party of four already knew what we wanted to order. Drinks were ordered and arrived promptly, our four roast beef courses also ordered. Speed of service was very efficient but at no time were we rushed. The star of the show was the food. Roast beef, a huge Yorkshire pudding, creamed leeks and peas, red cabbage, carrots, parsnips, perfect roast potatoes and a delicious dark meaty gravy. The beef was perfectly cooked and fell apart in your mouth. Portion sizes were very generous. I was further shocked to find that the meal cost just £10 each! The standard of service was excellent as was the food itself. Apparently they had been non stop since they opened but you'd never have known. The staff were as professional and as courteous as if they had just opened. This was by far one of the best pub Sunday lunches I've had.

Went for a family meal today. Great service. We ordered the steak pie, fish and chips and a double cheeseburger for mains, all spot on. Too full up for desert unfortunately. Will definitely go back. Excellent deals on certain days. Well worth a visit. Ample car parking and a lovely terrace.

Since reopening after lockdown The Plough have done a fantastic job making sure all guests are safe. Food has been amazing and service 100%. Always have such a lovely time when we've been here

Great ambiance, nice atmosphere, and amazing Sunday roast!! 👏

Service was very slow . And wasn’t that busy. Servers just seemed to be walking up and down replacing knives and forks on tables. We had dinner plates finished on table for a good 45 mins and then had to ask a server could we order kids ice creams , only then were we cleared on table. Kids were offered only blackcurrant sorbet so not the greatest and they hated it. And yet vanilla ice cream was being brought out for adult puddings.

Very warm welcome as soon as we walked in , I dont know who was waiting our table but he was absolutely brilliant with my 3 year old. An absolute credit to the hall and woodhouse team he was outstanding ( dark hair black tshirt white jeans on Saturday 23rd). Food was amazing and didn't have to wait long at all little loved the fish n chips hubby said the tangle foot pie was outstanding.

We were made very welcome by the staff who were very friendly, service was great and the food was good.

Lovely little pub. . Food was OK and reasonably priced

To start, Meg was a great waitress for what she had to put up with! Very patient considering. Also Badger beers are fantastic! We both ordered the Beef Cannelloni, looked great, but was freezing cold in the middle, so for £14 I'm assuming it was cooked from frozen. Second attempt tasted great, as did the garlic bread. Had the sticky toffee for dessert, the ball of ice cream was half ice, half ice cream, like it had been defrosted and refrozen... so a total balls up by the kitchen. Then what I thought was a simple ask of splitting the bill to get one side, one main and one dessert on one receipt for a work claim turned out to be an absolute calamity, if the systems that complicated, get a new one! Yes I have worked in hospitality. It should be a simple process! According to my bank I've been charged for 4 x Cannelloni... if the refund doesn't come through I will be returning to sort!

Booked a table got some drinks no one served us we walked out shame its a nice pub but service terrible

I was quite disappointed today for the prices. I was expecting better quality food. I got the burger and it was just incredibly dry and too much bread also there was hardly any chips on our plates either. I was just expecting better quality with the reviews, the pub Itself is lovely, and has a nice play area for the children

All good lovely food good service

Friendly, great food, efficient..

Friendly service cider great 👍 etc

Quick friendly service, great meals, good value for money not overpriced and food all tasted fresh!

The whole visit was a disaster. Wrong drinks one meal totally forgotten.
