The Plough in Hillingdon

My husband and I had great hopes for this place after reading the previous reviews but they are soon dashed! Staff were attentive and friendly but food was just awful. The complimentary bread was tough and burnt on top. I ordered the chicken curry, it was delivered in a bowl and looked more like soup with six pieces of chicken in it, nothing else in the the curry. The rice was edible. Husband ordered the crispy pork belly he got served 3 pork chops that were tough and the plate was swimming in grease. Chips were hot. We come around Heathrow a lot but will definitely not be returning here. The decor lets it down too, grubby in places. A staff member dropped cutlery into the floor, picked it up and put it back in the tray! I always read reviews but never normally leave them. This is the first time I have ever left one as felt it was important too.

This was a great little find for us, only a short car journey from the Moxy Heathrow hotel. Inviting from the outside. Inside is simple and it was very quiet, especially for a Friday evening. The welcome was warm and quick. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The menu was extensive and very reasonably priced. The food was very good value and all 4 of us had no complaints and were all very happy with our meal. This little gem deserves to be much busier.

Very cute pub...service was quick and impeccable 👌🏽

A beautiful English pub near Heathrow. Great ambience, very friendly and hospitable staff and delicious food. Visited recently for dinner and had a great experience. Very cosy vibe. They have lovely outdoor seating arrangements as well but in this cold weather inside seating was best. Good coffee, the Hot Chocolate was also delicious and perfect for a cold evening. Coming to food we ordered couple of dishes; -Smoked Grilled Chicken Peri Peri : Absolutely delicious, great portions and very flavourful. 5/5 -Veggie Burger : 5/5 -Soup of the day , Chicken and Leek Soup : it was perfect for the cold evening. Delicious. 5/5 -Crispy Pork Belly : Crisp and perfectly cooked. The apple puree along with that was a perfect ac which elevated the flavours. 5/5 -Milanese de Pollo : this was great as well. The pasta was really tasty as well as the chicken. The portion was huge. Everything we tried was wonderful. They messed up with the orders but they were very polite and kind about it and they rectified their mistake. Also we were offered complimentary Bread and Olives before our meals and they had some Baklava to offer too. Had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend this place. Would definitely visit again.

Nice pub, friendly staff, didn't try the food but have heard good things about it, food reasonably priced,drinks over priced can get cheaper more locally.

Last time I reviewed The Plough, I said that it was so rundown, grubby and unappealing, that we would probably never come back. The service was deplorable and the food was not worth paying for....... BUT after reading some recent reviews, we decided to return and found that a miracle has been performed. The new owner has brought it back from the brink to something fabulous again ! With new paint, redecorating and a massive cleaning campaign, The Plough is now yet again, a must for those travelling through Heathrow. . The menu has improved and the service is once again with a smile. The food was excellent and the prices were reasonable. I spoke to the young lady taking our order and told her how pleased we were that the place had been brought back to life after being run into the ground by the previous owners. We also mentioned we had been visiting The Plough over a 30-year period. A few minutes later, the new owner came over and we were able to congratulate him on the place. We learned that he was from Lebanon and that he had more plans for the place as time goes by. . The ONLY thing which lets the place down is the wine list. He only stocks Yellow Tail wine - which is a cheap Australian wine, and which we can buy for about AU$8.50 - or 4.50 British pounds. Obviously, he marks it up to the ceiling to sell at the Plough. With Europe so close, why not get some Italian or French wines in ? Just a thought. . Dinner, with one shared starter and two salmon main courses - PLUS a bottle of Yellow Tail came to 69 pounds

Anisha and co are the best! No better in the area! It’s the absolute guvnor!

Best place for classic dinner in London I love bulmers ❤️

Popped in at lunchtime for an hour. Nice place. Friendly staff

Great pub great food great people

We went there with a lot of excitement because it was close to Heathrow, and we had a traveler. We waited for him in this pub. We had informed them hours in advance when we would arrive, so they wouldn’t be under pressure and could prepare themselves since the kitchen closed at 9 PM. Unfortunately, the food was not good. The steaks were tough and not chewable. Worst of all, before we left the hall, they started cleaning with bleach just one meter away from us. The smell of bleach was suffocating, especially since my father has serious respiratory issues. We quickly told him to go outside before he inhaled too much, but the bleach was very strong and bothered him a lot. He kept coughing continuously, and I hope it doesn’t cause serious problems. I’m very sorry because I suggested this place as it was close to Heathrow. I don’t recommend this place at all. Don’t pay attention to the reviews from others. It’s not a good place for families. It is the manager’s duty to take care of everything.

Best Pub near Heathrow Airport.

Lovely pub sat in the garden which is beautifully done service was great I will return

I ordered buffalo wings and a coffee latte. The wings were crispy and flavorful, while the latte was smooth and rich. Great service and timely delivery!

A good & proper English pub. Close to Heathrow. The fish & chips was excellent. Really friendly and attentive service. 4.5 stars out of 5.

Very accommodating place, staff was very friendly, and the food was exceptional!

I was early to pick a mate from Heathrow and popped in for a quick one. A pub with an Indian vibe. Had lamb burgers before but settled for a pint this time. Good car park and outdoor seating too.

This is the first time I visit here. Absolutely Delicious food😍 We had Fish and chips, steak and ale pie, Crispy pork belly😋😋😋😋 We will definitely come back again😍 Nice Staff with Smiling face😊

As a frequent visitor to the Heathrow area (mostly prior to Covid), I've been to this wonderful pub numerous times in the last 10 years, and I've always enjoyed it. However, under this latest management, it was absolutely wonderful. For one thing, it is an adorable gem visually. The inside is tiny but has that beautiful traditional look that I wish all pubs had. The outside is a delightful, flower-covered beer garden containing plenty of generous tables. It's clean and inviting. The menu is really good, and the quality of the food was outstanding. It was so good that my hubby and I ate there two days in a row. The service was friendly, although one of the nights we had a little trouble communicating with one of the waitresses, but another employee came out to clarify our order. So, excellent attention to customer needs! Decent-sized parking lot with validated customer parking. Our meals were quite excellent and the serving portions were generous but not rediculous. All told, we loved it and would return again and again.

Anisha , Sonu and Shubham are all brilliant Best staff ever. Very friendly and helpful

excellent service, friendly staff, loved it

On entry the smell wasn’t very appealing. Food was amazing, specially the pork and the chocolate pudding. Service was attentive, however when plates needed to be cleared, we found having our starters plates with our main courses. On the whole a very nice experience but there are a few teething problems that can be easily resolved with time. Thank you ☺️

Very good atmosphere and service and food

Excelente choice, service and food si tasty

I visited first time today Really nice. Food was good and the sun was shining. It wasn't busy and the service was attentive. Will be really good once the roadworks are completed and no road noise Look forward to trip no. 2

Lovely pub lunch in a pretty garden

Food was amazing and lots of it. Highly recommend it. Will definitely come again

It’s so good every detail the service the place the atmosphere

Tasty meal always awesome Customer Service. We will visit again.!!!!

I came today I had the the lamb shish from the new menu, it was okay. The flavour of the lamb was very good, it was cooked to perfection, the portions was plenty! The rice was a bit of a let down a bit dry and didn’t taste as good as the lamb, I’m very English so would have preferred chips to be honest. I like the idea of a tandoori pub, but I think next time I have some proper pub food! It’s not cheap, a Guinness and lamb shish was £22.59 but overall I quite enjoyed it. The staff were really great! Massively impressed with the speed and quality of the service!

The staff at the Plough are so helpful and friendly, very customer focused and conscientious. I had no charge in my phone and in crisis. They kindly charged my phone for me and saved the day.

Delicious food very friendly staffs

Great customer service and good food.

Love this place… always used to be a regular haunt for me and now it’s under new management it’s better than ever!

Beautiful pub in Sipson. Food amazing. Friendly staff. Nothing too much trouble. Definitely worth a visit

Very good food ! Have the plough burger. The staff ate very friendly.

Great food, good atmosphere and unbelievable staff. 5 star

Good food new owners nice cool place for afternoon lunch , not been back for a while but totally different since previous owners gone , staff willing to serve you at table for food , great stuff '

This is a lovely pub, beautiful outside area, very well kept. Excellent service and friendly staff, my only disappointment was the steak & ale pie. It was more like a stew with a piece of pastry put on top, it was too liquidly, a pie should be more firmer but not dry. Will try it again and try something else.

The new management has really turned things to good- delicious food, great service and what an uplift!

Lovely pub, the outside seating area is very nice the flowers are amazing. We had dinner from the outside bbq absolutely delicious. The staff are very friendly. Highly recommended 👌

Great food, good service, awesome environment.

Very nice staff ,very polite and a very nice location . Highly reccomend

Under new management. Plenty of attention paid to the beer garden. It looks really good! Inside is clean, traditionally styled and comfortable. Staff are very helpful and polite. Professional.

Great food. New staff..so in a bit it will be great allover.

A great experience worth experiencing!!! Great ambience and everyone coming into the pub was really well mannered thanks to a great team who were so cordial and warm to the customers, can't recommend enough!!!!!

We stopped going here, it got grubby and the food quality got worse. We are delighted to say it's now spotless, clean with really well cooked food. Love it here.

Great pub!!! Excellent service !! Serene environment!!! Tasty tasty meals and wide selection of drinks!! 10/10 👏 Also , big parking space and very accessible if you aren’t driving; as the bus stop is just in front of the pub ..

The Plough is under new management and has been renovated to make such a lovely pub, serving delicious food. Would definitely recommend!!

Been here for the first time yesterday and the staff was so lovely,they were always smiling to every customer. The food wow it was amazing,I tried the scampi and my mouth was watering . I highly recommend☺️

Lovely pub, lovely food. Never been before. I would definitely go again.

Under new management, great atmosphere, cozy. New menu with good home cooked comfort food! Great prices too.

Pub owners have spent a fortune on doing up the pub, the outside is back to how it was years ago covered in bright flowers , clean , good furniture. I assume new owners as the place has turned around massively and looks fantastic, good drinks selection and great location in the village

Nice food, good price and very friendly staff

I came here 2 years ago plus, it was dirty, the staff were indifferent and the glasses unclean. I am so pleased to say that the new owners have cleaned,repaired,and shined that hovel into a beautiful local pub that was a pleasure to eat and drink in. The service is personal, the food was fantastic and the staff were polite and respectful. Well done to all who turned a dive into a blossoming flower of peace and contentment.

I cannot say how amazing the team were at the Plough this weekend just gone (06/07). We asked to have a space reserved outside for around 20 people, which they were more than happy to accommodate, but then the weather turned the morning of, and they then accommodated us inside the pub instead. It was extremely well-planned and thoughtful of them, and it was very much appreciated as we were having a leaving do for our friend. They were so helpful when we arrived, offering to help set up, and talked us through all of our options for food and drink for the day as well. Thank you so much for all your help and outstanding service from the management and bar staff (and kitchen staff for the delicious food!)

Great little pub as a perfect lunch stop just after picking up a hire car. Accidentally left my jacket with passports in the pub, rang them and they had been trying to find me. Awesome people, friendly and the food was great too.

Fun spot near Heathrow airport. Nice patio!

Very pleasant people, lovely food, warm plates, decent portions and great value. Car park at the rear and just off the M4. Wish you were closer to me.

We had a great meal off their very decent pub grub menu while watching England v Slovakia. The staff were amazing, catering for every request with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend the chicken curry !!

Came here for a Sunday roast and loved it. The staff were very efficient and friendly, checking my order to ensure I had exactly what I had requested. The food arrived hot and was great quality. The pub itself is an old country pub and kept clean and tidy. The only reason I marked this down one point was “chocolate gateaux” is what we ordered for dessert, however, this is in fact more of a Black Forest cake and I don’t eat cherries. I feel this is more a misunderstanding of what a chocolate gateaux is as posed to the wrong dessert as Black Forest is not listed on the menu. Both my father and I also felt the desserts were a little overpriced for what they were. I did not mention this at the time as we had to catch a train but I do believe the staff would have addressed this at the time had I raised it as they have genuine interest in good service. If the dessert game is upped this place would easily get 5 stars from us as the roast dinner, staff and environment are all top. It’s also reasonable at £53 for two roast dinners, two draughts Pepsis and two desserts. Will be returning.

Great location being so close to Heathrow airport. Picked up my German friend and we had a bite to eat here whilst waiting for rush hour to settle. Asked for my own water bottle refills, got ice and lemon. Two delicious mains and an orange juice later and we get free baklava as a little afters. Wow! Really friendly staff, too. If I'm coming back to Heathrow I'm stopping here again!

Had a chicken and avocado salad today sorry to say not impressed with it, left most. Salad wasn’t very nice neither was the chicken took it home for the dog.

Very cool atmosphere with decent prices. I am thinking of working there but not sure if the owner can pay for my work permit for 12 hours shift 5 days a week on permanent basis.

Great atmosphere, the Roses were playing at Twickenham

Really bad staff We went for food but waiting time was up to 30-40 minutes staff was so rude had attitude and place was very dirty made us feel very uncomfortable we had one round of drinks which we had to wait long time for serving never again visit here

Found this place on Google maps, as we were looking for a place for tea prior to an early morning flight. And we can honestly say we were not disappointed, the staff were very friendly and attentive, nothing was too much. Food was absolutely fantastic, we ordered lamb burger (spicy), lamb chops and fish and chips which were all cooker to perfection, a perfect sized portion and brilliant prices considering we are so close to Heathrow Airport. Will definitely visit again when we next fly from here.

Run down dump! Especially the exterior looks like wasteland! Walked in the pub, got a friendly welcome but really didn't fancy eating there so we didn't stay

What a shame, revisiting after an enforced 4 year break and what a change!! Instead of not being able to get a seat, there was only us and 2 other people in the pub. No real ale (the reason we go), so assume it is no longer a Fuller’s pub. The local regulars were obviously real ale drinkers as they are no longer the fixture at the corner table by the bar. They say you should never go back - how right they are when it comes to this former gem of a pub.

Came here last week to eat with a friend. The food was amazing so good that we went back a couple of days later.and all staff very friendly

Great pub, right by Heathrow. Almost dead on a Tuesday lunchtime but I hope it gets busier at other times. No real ale on tap and the beer was not cheap for this provincial boy, but the food was really tasty, well cooked and extremely generous portions. We had Chicken New Yorker and BBQ rib dishes, both came with lots of very good chips and several types of perfectly cooked veg - and the veg are the thing that's actually hardest to get right. Under new management since early March 2024, just before this review, definitely worth checking out before you fly instead of the overpriced and bland Heathrow offerings. Make sure to validate your parking at the bar- this is well signposted.

This place is fantastic! The atmosphere is top, the staff is very polite and the food is delicious 🔝😍 There also is a free parking for those who come with their car and a bus stop nearby - easy to get here by transport.

We have been coming here pre flights for 15 years. It has been thru turbulent times with Covid etc. the new management are really trying hard. I had one of the best steaks ever. Give them a try. (Can you please get some real ale for next time!).

Absolutely love this place very warm cosy atmospheres fantastic the staff are very polite. The owners are brilliant love them both massive respect if you haven’t been here before you must try I’m so glad I live nearby this place it’s like our second home fantastic

It smells very bad in there and the manager is rude, staff is useless

I really enjoyed my meal (chicken curry) and the friendly welcome. Nice little pub! Thank you

The Food was delicious and their service is too good.

Had a great lunch today , the food was very vert good, service was great, staff looked after us , loved it , they did a great job

Just a great place to explore the delights of an old English pub .

Amazing food and generous portions. Good facilities. Close to the airport without the silly prices.

Just got back from having a meal here. Lovely place and exactly what we were looking for. We are staying at the Radisson conference hotel and going to the expensive and more than likely lifeless on-site restaurant did not appeal. The Plough is approximately a 20 mins walk in a straight line from the hotel. Plenty of choice on the menu at good prices with a a good selection of beers, lagers and wine. A nice oldy worldly feel to the pub too, with very friendly and attentive staff. We both really enjoyed our meals and if we stay at the Radisson conference centre again, we would definitely return and we would definitely recommend :-)

Very quiet when I was there but before lunch service started so that may be why.

Looking for a relaxing lunch before dropping my wife off for a flight and not wanting her to be ripped of in mayhem in departures restaurants, came across this lovely old pub less than 10 minutes away. Not too busy. Fabulously warm hospitality. Excellent chicken kebab dish and chicken New Yorker dish wit lashings of salad, chips and three hot veg. Promptly served and delicious. A hidden gem with cleanest pub loos we’ve come across for ages. Ample car park too. Will return next time too or for a bite after flight before a drive back to the country. Thanks and we’ll done!!

Nice place. The ribs are delicious.

Delicious food, good menu. Open even on Sunday evening. Friendly.

Service was excellent, and really quick.

never been here but saw the pub and it looks cozy.

The food was delicious, flavorful, and very reasonably priced. We enjoyed nice cold beers and friendly, helpful staff. It was a cute little spot that could use a little TLC, but an overall great experience.

Absolutely delicious burger - clearly homemade, very flavourful, generous portions and very reasonably priced. A lovely little pub with friendly staff.

What a lovely little find near Heathrow airport and our hotel 👍 staff really friendly, service excellent and food very good 👍 Next time I’m definitely trying the homemade curry dishes 👌

Not great. But a local pub for local people

Cleanest toilets I have ever used. Staff extremely friendly.

Good service and very welcoming customers service.

Food is excellent and portions are large. Staff are very friendly and helpful - especially Filo. Would recommend.

Great food and great service. Plus it was really affordable

Really authentic. Food is fantastic and staff is as well. Worth a stop for sure!

If you find yourself in need of a delightful summer escape near Heathrow Airport, look no further than the plough sipson. Nestled just a stone's throw away from the airport, this hidden gem boasts a charming outside seating area that will captivate your heart and soul. During my recent visit, I was thoroughly impressed with the warm ambiance, excellent service, and delicious fare, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and travelers passing through
