Plough Inn in Eastleigh

Lovely meal meeting friends at the Plough today. Meg gave us fantastic service on a very busy Sunday afternoon. She was polite and professional, nothing was too much trouble even though she was clearly under pressure. A credit to your establishment! Thank you we will be back!

Great food and service. Meg especially was lovely, and it was great to have service from someone you can have a laugh with. She was so on the ball with our entire order of seven people.

In the 21st century most pubs have a tab service, then however no. Very frosty response from the manager, no explanation so apologies just no. We had a child with us so needed to be outside, so tried to explain that but manager still didn't show any compassion or apology. Not sure he is in the right job for hospitality! Service for drinks unfortunately took forever, however nice enough young ladies. Servers could of cracked a smile. Food expensive for what it was. Doubt we will return!

Came in for lunch with our grandson the food was great & the service was great also Meg was great with table service & was friendly

Meg was very attentive and service was quick and efficient.

Lovely atmosphere and very attentive and excellent server named Meg :)

It is a nice place for dogs and children.

Wad absolutely disgusted in our visit today. 2 starters was over a hr , when complained was chucked at the bar . Nothing like we will bring it over to your table. I have a medical condition and struggle to carry things. Very disappointing. Will never visit again.

The food was overpriced and not of good quality. The young foreign lady serving behind the bar was extremely rude and had a face like thunder. Not once did I see this lady greet a patron with a smile. Would not recommend this place to take a dog there to eat. Will not be frequenting this place again. Standard really poor.

Meg was amazing. Would love to have again

Staff, very poor, happy to serve drinks but don't warn you that most food items for Lunchtime sandwich are unavailable. Plus pub is now becoming filthy. Sorry buts its lost my custom.

Amazing service, Meg was very helpful and very informative and patient. Would recommend.

Good selection of drinks, beautiful big garden, play area for children too. Lovely decor inside and out, a "true English pub". Right next to main road so can't hear anything when a noisy motorbike goes by. Very nice bar lady with blonde hair! Food was hot and just enough. Had to get our own cultery and sauces after receiving our food! Never had this before anywhere, quite shocked when she said "cutlery and sauces are in there". Cream on Eton mess tasted very bitter like it was off 🤢 The rest was yummy after scooping that out. Would come again for a drink in the garden for sure and maybe try a different dish.

Lovely pub let down by there never being enough staff. On a glorious sunny day they only ever have 2 bar staff on which leaves a 15-20 person queue at the bar for drinks.

My second visit and again,it was the same high standard of service and quality of food.Meg was our waitress and was super friendly,polite and efficient. The Plough is a very welcoming and well run establishment.

We used to come here years ago & really enjoyed the food,prices & atmosphere. We were in the area so came in for lunch, obviously noticing the price changes I asked if they took my blue light card to be told not at the weekends? So us blue light card holders can't get discount on our weekends off....madness! Anyway our food came,my husband had ordered the beer battered fish & chips.Well I think my grandson wouldn't of been full up on the portion size....a spoonful of peas,the fish was as thin as an envelope as a small amount of chips. I ordered a chicken burger & had to pay an extra £2.50 to add some stringy bacon to it. If you're going to charge these prices give decent food & better portion sizes.

Perfectly pleasant venue....great wheelchair access

Our waitress meg was most helpful and polite, very cheerful and went out of her way in spending time speaking to us and making us feel welcome. So 5 stars.

Always amazing food and staff! We visit regularly, either for a Sunday roast, lunch or Friday night dinner. Served today by Meg who was attentive and kind. Thank you to all, we will be back!

Waited what seemed a life time after our starter which was okay, calamari was excellent for main, fish was greasey, chips soggy and mushy peas cold. Chilli hotdog was edable, chips same soggy not nice and crispy. Carbanara for daughter was disgusting and full of salt. No wonder she kept spitting it out. Will not be spending our money there again.

The food here is utter garbage and you’ll wait along time for it too! Oil sodden fish which was with triple cooked chips? Really? Fresh out of a freezer bag maybe! Kids carbonara has more salt in it than the sea! No wonder our girl didn’t like, good for a drink though, staff are friendly and a good atmosphere just dreadful food and a wait longer than Kier Starmers list of lies

The roast is discounted after 5pm, I think this could be because it's what is left over the middle of the day. So it got dry. Burger was nice, roast isn't. Atmosphere okay.

Excelente servicio y comida, pero algunas cosas no están disponibles. Genial que podamos traer a mis hijas perro de montaña bernés muy grande.

Such a nice family and dog friendly pub with a really good park for the kids outside! Had a roast today and it’s so hard to find a good roast out and not be let down but was lovely! Everything was lovely! 10/10

Very disappointed at meals today , lots missing on the menu, all meals of bad standard, cold, and poor quality. Don’t think we’ll be coming back , Shame

Great pub grub, always accommodating, especially good for our fur baby 😊 Meg was a fab waitress, funny, attentive and professional. Thanks for a lovely evening Meg 🥰

Good stop for lunch with MIL. Excellent fish pie and ice cream Came back for Sunday Lunch. Being Veggie I usually lose out However this was the best Nut Roast I have had in a pub😎 Meg looked after us really well and was excellent. Will be back on Thursday for another lunch.

What fantastic food and service from Meg. So attentive and the roast was delicious! We only live down the road so will defo be back. Thank you

Wow…haven’t beeen to plough for years and after a quick lunchtime visit thought I would take missus here cause it looked really smart. Looks can be deceiving apart from friendly smile by barmaid the whole experience was awful at best. We ordered at the bar and ordered a starter and main course,you guessed it the starter came after the main course,good job I didn’t order dessert!! The nachos as starter were the worst I’ve ever had,no toppings just a small bowl of tortilla chips had to ask for some salsa and waitress said if I had of ordered the bigger portion I’d have got more salsa! Ordered drinks through waitress waited ages for them and sorry but if waitresses cracked one smile between them I would have been shocked. I would have moaned but I wouldn’t have done it any justice it was awful,beer wasn’t much better either.. Lucky to get one star…

Have been waiting an hour for food. How much longer?

Went to enjoy the sunshine in the beer garden whilst the kids enjoyed themselves in the play area. Great atmosphere and great service.

Good food, great service, nice environment and great value for money.

Sat outside on a sunny afternoon

Meg was a fantastic server, very attentive.

Booked a table for 5pm for 9 ppl, but were completely ignored when we entered the pub. When we finally got a staff member to converse with us, they said to wait for the table to be ready. We waited and ordered some drinks, but received very poor service up to this point. We got our drinks, sat down then discovered from another customer that the kitchen was closed (5pm on a Saturday!). We sought out a manager, who confirmed the kitchen was closed (due to chefs leaving for personal reason). We understand that unforseeable issues can occur, but it was clear there were no contingencies in place to deal with the issue. If they cannot provide food: Why not contact us to cancel the booking? Why allow us to enter and wait? Why take our drink order? The drink order was refunded, but so much time wasted and the staff were unsympathetic. Simply shocking. We won’t be back.

Great service from Meg, with good food and a pleasant evening for our party

Best vegetarian roast I’ve ever had. Staff were brilliant and food delicious.

Had a really lovely time here tonight. We both ordered beef roasts which were scrumptious and came with a selection of really nice fresh veg. The waitress who served us was also very polite and friendly, and super apologetic that some items were out of stocked. The garden looks lovely and sunny, so we’ll have to sit outside next time. See you again soon!

Lovely family meal. Sat outside on a sunny afternoon, with our dog. It was a bit busy, but still found a table.

Ideal for family lunch, great play area and Kim our waitress was lovely

Meg was a fantastic host, there is a marked improvement to the food from the last time we visited earlier in the year

Food was lovely, nice atmosphere and our server Meg was fantastic. Nice pub, would defiantly recommend.

Lovely Mother’s Day lunch. Great food and lovely staff. Meg made sure we had enough time to choose what we wanted and gave good advice about what we wanted to order.

We really enjoyed Mother’s Day dinner. Everyone was friendly and happy to help. We all had roast’s so not sure on the rest but the roast was nice. Meg was attentive and smiley, overall we had a lovely time. And the kids play area and outside seating is fantastic.

Great meal and our server Meg was exceptionally helpful

Friendly service and good for children. Fair prices on beer and food too. Almost 5 stars but the food took a long, long time to come but was nice when it did arrive.

Very good food, their burger is amazing! very friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and dog friendly to boot.

The most appalling service. An hour and a half until lunchtime meal was served.much of the menu was not available. Didn't bother ordering another drink or dessert...just 2 guys trying to do it all with probably 30 guests. Shocking. GET SOME STAFF. Waste of a lovely venue. Never again until service improves vastly.

Really enjoyed our meal - Luke the server was wonderful. Top tip - order the Malteser waffle it’s amazing see picture!

Excellent food and service. Meg was very accommodating and the kids meals were great value.

Nice pub with good food and a outdoor play area for children. Staff were lovely and looked after us well. Good allergy awareness and gluten free menu (online filter system)

Went to the plough Thursday evening for food , greeted by Emily and shown to our table , Emily took our drink orders and gave us menus . Her service was brilliant & friendly ordered food which was all very nice & hot . We asked Emily who was cooking and it was Josh , we asked her to thank him . Excellent 👌

Always have a lovely time here! The Monday 2-4-1 offer is great and we will definitely be back!

Very busy, not enough staff, huge wait between courses, chicken not cooked sent back, came back still not cooked, beef chewy and loads of sinewy, roast potatoes overcooked, other veg too Al dented, Yorkshire pudding like over sized pancakes, cheese in garlic mushrooms plant based, why? Very poor came for our 23rd wedding anniversary, very disappointed, manager needs a larger shirt and do we really need to see his pants. I don't think so. So sad has always been amazing

Lovely pub with very nice food.

Booked a table for a birthday meal. No burgers available. No fish available. Nothing. That's the last time we come here.

Great food (beef was abit tough but didn’t matter), lovely atmosphere, service was excellent. Thank you Emily for serving us

Excellent Sunday Roast, and excellent service from Megan yet again

Meg was great very quick friendly efficient service

Another lovely meal here and great service from Meg as usual. Most importantly for our small family The Plough is (well behaved) dog friendly!!

Thank you Meg for lovely service. Had a lovely meal. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Food was really hot and tasty and good value. Will come again x

Our waitress Meg was very polite and helpful. Lovely roast dinner. We'll definitely be back.

It was our first visit to the plough and I have to say it's really nice inside and the staff are very friendly especially Meg. The food was well cooked and we will be back to sample the Sunday roast!

Meg was lovely nothing was too much bother she was attentive but not overbearing. Food was perfectly cooked and delicious.

Awesome food, Meg was especially helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend a visit!

Meg our server was very attentive throughout Good food at a reasonable price Will come again

Great people watching and easy going atmosphere

Meg our waitress was excellent and the food was fantastic

Food was lovely, great service by Nieve

Very nice food, great for family meals

Very good food, chef is pretty good looking too

Had a loverly server maci very friendly cant wait to go again

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.

Had a lovely evening with family celebrating my daughters 21st. Food was amazing and considering there were 9 of us, food was served at the same time, piping hot. Steak cooked to perfection, all the food was delicious. All the servers were lovely, nothing was to much trouble. Will definitely be back. Thank you guys.

I’m sorry to say but this is the last time I’ll be going here after 3 disappointing meals. Service was good to begin with however I ordered the flat iron steak which was like cutting up rubber - so tough and would not recommend unless you have knives for teeth. In fact, wouldn’t even have given that to my dog. What made life more difficult was the fact I wasn’t given a steak knife and had to go on a wild goose chase for one around the pub. There was a constant barking from dogs in the pub which made it far from relaxing and after having already had two bad meals here before, I regret giving it another chance. Serious work needs to be done.

Lovely meal and great service by Meg, who was friendly and attentive

Brought the family for a feed, nice place sat by log burner. Kids ate well and played in the outside play area. Although mixed grill wasn’t on the menu the kind chap sorted me one out. Everything cooked to perfection. Will recommend and come again.

Meg was great - thanks! Quick service. They didn’t have a wine list unfortunately and they were out of steak but the fish and chips were great!

Food was good. Portions were average and service time was average. Overall a good restaurant

Fantastic food and Hospitality .Meg was Perfect host.

Yes this is a very well run restaraunt / pub. Certainly suggest its a place to try if you are near bye Old fashioned menu but always good

We had excellent service from Meg. Food was nice and hot and really tasty. Service overall was very good We will be back again but probably not until the better weather as their garden is lively. Thank you Meg

Meg and emily were great, really looked after us and were very polite and very attentive and was nice company. Food was good however unfortunately the kitchen was closed before times advertised meaning we could not order desert.

I think the place looks and feels fantastic! Food was phenominal and the service was incredibly friendly and amazing! Thank you ever so much for a great time

Meg Has been super kind and Great Server. She’s funny and attentive. 5* all round.

Amazing venue. Meg our server was very attentive and friendly. Could not have done anything more to make us feel welcome! Food was lovely. Highly recommend

We were served by Meg today. She was really friendly and helpful and very efficient We loved the pub and will be visiting again! Xx

Great food, friendly atmosphere great service from meg

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.

Meg was very friendly and welcoming Food was lovely

Meg was very friendly and professional! Food was delicious

Great friendly service and good food. Will return

Been here a few times. Dog friendly, good food, good beer, reasonable prices, friendly staff - what more can you ask for? Highly recommended.

The Plough hosted us for a wake with a buffet and complimentary tea and coffee for around 35 people. The food was excellent and Mark the manager was very accommodating with us when making arrangements for the afternoon. Would definitely recommend for any large group bookings. The buffet menu choices were really good and pricing was reasonable

Nice place to have a drink in the garden. Food looks good too 👍

Paramos para almorzar mientras estábamos en un largo paseo. La comida era de un buen nivel y Meg era muy amable. Nos lo pasamos muy bien.

Meg was brilliant very professional and accommodating to our allergen dinners thank you Meg

Fantastic service and lovely atmosphere. A nice hot fire made it nice a cosy! Served by Meg and Luke.

Gran comida y gran servicio - Meg era encantador y super atento! Gran manera de comenzar el nuevo año y sin duda volverá!

Lovely lunch with friends. Service was friendly and welcoming - a thank you to Meg for the great service. Will definitely return
