The Plough in Kirklees

" Gastropub " it says on their website....NEVER ! We went for Sunday lunch after reading how popular this place was on our local FB page.Not the nicest of dining areas , certainly not like their photos. Tiled floor , mis-matched furniture, more like a transport cafe for lorry drivers. The whole place is very rundown and drab , peeling wallpaper, damp patches etc. No starters available . Meat was tender and plates piled high but frozen soggy sprouts, cabbage with loads of stalk and nothing seasoned at all . Very bland .Not a good experience. We like to support local businesses but sadly won't return here. The staff were lovely but it needs a lot of money and a total revamp in order to survive . I hope it does!

Never been to the plough myself, heard all fantastic things about the pub and food, until today when me and my partner went for an early lunch, both enjoyed the Sunday menu and got beef baguette with home made chips, they also catered to our needs by swapping stuffing around onto on of our baguettes, allowing my partner to have both beef and turkey with the same price and also adding an extra Yorkshire pudding on my dish, the meat was absolutely to die for, melt in your mouth kinda of meat😍 Didn’t wait long at all and bar and waiting staff were all fantastic and welcoming, the portions was absolutely massive and prices are spot on! £26 that came to with two pints on top! Can’t beat it will defiantly be going again what a wonderful place and atmosphere and most defiantly what amazing food

The Thai food here that is on Fridays and Saturdays is absolutely incredible! Authentic, fresh, decent sized portions, the food was all perfect, only lost a star because it took 30 minutes of searching the internet, Facebook, ringing and eventually having to add the owner on Facebook to access the menu by message.Simple fix though, just update Facebook site/website. Wait times were longer than expected but we sat and had a pint so wasn’t bothered. All in all, very happy and would 100% recommend to others, owner was very apologetic about wait times and pub was nice and only just over a fiver for a pint and a half of San Miguel! 😍

Called for the Sunday dinner this week. Went to bar to get drinks before we ordered only to be told they don't accept payment by card. It meant going to find a cash point in the area so left without eating. First impressions of the place wasn't good.

Went for Sunday lunch option was beef or chicken after speaking to other customers who advised not to eat the burnt beef we chose the chicken that was so chewy it was impossible to eat the roast potatoes had been fried along with the stogist Yorkie I have ever tasted Yes this was only £1.00 per course but the problem was the cooking not the portions it was inedable so would not return

My first visit since new management change. Nice warm & friendly welcome, great Landlord. Nice clean restaurant area, food was excellent (plenty of it), recommended to all, give it a try, good luck for the future Johnny........ Barry Janney.

Went for Sunday lunch nice food plenty of veg and gravy very tasty had jam roly poly and custard for desert was ok friendly staff too

Came out as a party of 10 for a birthday meal. All the food was amazing children had the usual chicken nuggets and chips but they was real chunks of chicken and homemade chunky chips. There was normal menu and a tapas menu we opted for the tapas which was out of this world. I couldn’t fault a thing after reading a few bad reviews I was nervous but the food was top rated. Other people ordered from the normal menu which was also impressive.

Just popped in for Saturday lunch and had a huge plate full of spot on food. Really friendly staff too.

We held my Dads funeral tea here and couldn’t ask for anything better the landlord & landlady and staff went more than the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect, the hot & cold buffet was outstanding, I would definitely recommend this place the staff were so caring and thoughtful throughout the day, thank you so much from myself & all my family for all you did.

Went here for Sunday lunch after having it recommended. It was like going back in time the decor was in desperate need of an upgrade not at all as the photo on the website. Shown to a table and ordered drinks, the waitress said "I'll bring you a list!!" She came with the choice of starters and meats on a scrap of paper NO MENU!! Therefore no prices or what the food was served with. We ordered the Starters were OK main course was not very good burnt Yorkshire pudding soggy parsnips and a tureen of vegetables that were just sat in water but there was plenty meat and tasty. There was a young waiter wandering around with a drink which looked unprofessional. The lady who seemed to be in charge was friendly but sadly let down by her young waiting staff who I guess had never had any training or been told what to do .

Had Sunday lunch here recently and was pleasantly surprised. They are under new management. Friendly staff. Plenty of food on the plate and vegetables in a separate dish. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Starters were lovely too. Didn't have enough room for a pudding unfortunately but they did look good. Only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the restaurant itself needs updating. I'm sure they will get round to that soon.

Wow. Proper Sunday lunch. Lovely roast. Sticky toffee pudding. Yum. Not posh, just knows what it does best.

This place has just been taken over by new owners. It is now a lovely clean place again and the food is awesome. The pretty young girl behind the bar is the most well mannered person we have ever met ☺ 👍

Great weekend at the plough great entertainment Friday lovely food on the Sunday with the parents. Polite and friendly staff couldn't have asked for anymore. Under new management the landlady is lovely great atmosphere now they have sky sports also .

Bajo nueva mangerment. No es un parche en el casco. El lugar estaba vacío. No dispone de menús. El personal no explicar lo que tenían. Nos hubiera gustado salimos entonces. El carvery como ha desaparecido. Tenía entradas, que estaba bien. Como no tuve asado tarta dijo que tenía. Esposa asado también. Usted podría jugar contar el pings de las microondas. Eso es todo lo que oímos. Se dice que la camarera no tenemos zanahorias de gamuza. Cuando salio. Financiarlo con zanahorias. Toda la verdura era nadar en la margarina podría haber hecho con un chaleco salvavidas para intentar salvarlo. Mujer tomó un tenedor lleno de guisantes y tuvimos que sacarlo de su boca. Mi esposa terminó sin verduras. Ella tenía dos pequeñas patatas asadas y 2 rodajas de carne. Dice que tenía un postre gratis camarera. (1) sólo cuesta otro ping desde un microondas. Cubierto de crema pastelera ocultar. Podemos decir que esta fue la peor comida que he tenido mucho tiempo. Tenemos a la izquierda crítica antes cuando era viejo mangerment y fue fabuloso. . . . . Ahorrará tiempo. y vete a otro sitio. No una mano sacó ale.

Hemos estado viniendo a la barredora por años y siempre me ha gustado. Los pubs han tomado de nuevo, no estoy seguro de qué pasa así regularmente en el arado, la nueva gente parece realmente lindo. Son ganas de hacer el trabajo y espero que...

Organizamos una fiesta de cumpleaños de 21 street. Elegimos el arado, ya que estaba en una ubicación central y el personal era muy amable. Fueron muy serviciales al evento de ser muy complaciente para nuestras necesidades en términos de dejarnos llevar más de una de...

Domingo de Pascua almuerzo perfecta 10 / 10 buen servicio Chef se desvivió para cocinar pollo frito pan blanco cuando no hay carne en el menú tarta de queso para morirse increíble relación calidad-precio

Encontramos este encantador pub en aquí. Qué lugar tan agradable. Hemos hecho aquí un número de veces para comer el domingo. Tenemos desde el menú de tres platos. . Cóctel de gambas para la mujer, para empezar. Tengo el pastel con patatas fritas luego verduras. Mujer como el asador. Luego salir de la habitación para budines. El precio es una excelente relación calidad-precio. También hay una buena pinta. Hemos estado con la familia y luego también a nosotros mismos. Volveremos muy pronto. Con buena comida y precios, como bueno, entonces ¿por qué cocinar regálense un 5*+.

Ha sido para la cena del día de la Madre y por el dinero, no te puedes equivocar, agradable y un encantador asador entrante. Sin duda volveremos.

Went for the Sunday carvery last week for the first time, and can honestly say, it will not be last. Everything we had from starter to pudding, was excellent.

The Plough finally seems to be getting good and we now count ourselves as regular clientele on the Sunday lunch circuit (as do, as evidenced by its popularity, many others!). In its latest incarnation, you can now count on good beer at the place - ales and lager. And at reasonable prices too.I've eaten at the Plough during the week at dinner time when it's much quieter. It's standard fare stuff but a good price for pub grub - panini and the like. Nice presentation and chunky chips.Sunday lunch is where it's at though and, having avoided carvery like the plague for years (decades even) we accidentally ended up there for one on one particular Sunday. And we're glad we did! Firstly, the starters - the menu isn't overly imaginative - it's a local pub after all - but the mushroom gondolas filled with pate are nice. Other staters include garlic mushrooms (nice), soup of the day (decidedly average when we tried it) and pate (perfectly acceptable). But it's the carvers where the chef comes into his own. Firstly, they make sure the chef is ready to serve you before you take to the plates. A nice touch. Secondly, there's always three choices of freshly cooked meat and a medley is a good choice. Dominic the chef explains how he's cooked each joint and how he's tailored the veg to suit. As such, it's a nice experience with a personal touch. Large portions are always provided, the veg is great (better than most non-Cavery veg), the gravy plentiful and sauces complementary. I usually hate carvery but I love this one and so does the family! Deserts are like the starters - good value but standard fare - i.e. Value for money and perfectly acceptable but won't be rivalling any Michelin star outlet anytime soon.The girls behind the bar and serving the food are fab, giving great service and with a smile too! All in all, if you want an inexpensive, good value for money, tasty Sunday lunch with nice service in friendly surroundings then this will tick the boxes - and it's nice to see The Plough getting it right for their local clientele and showing other locals how to do it. Bravo!!

reasonable price friendly service , Food was home cooked and was ok Meat and Potato Pie bit bland. Filled Yorkshie Pudding very Tasty and huge. scampi was as you would expect. all in all a pleasant saturday lunch and value for money.

My Mum and Grandma went for the Sunday Carvery last week and was well impressed... they said they got plenty of meat, the Yorkshire puds were how Yorkshire puds should be (big and crispy) all the veg was excellent, the cauliflower cheese was very cheesy and especially the honey roast parsnips, they were to die for!!!! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Well worth the money!!!Would defiantly recommend and will be returning next time my Mum is over visiting her Mum!!!Thanks again!From Brid

Just went for a light lunch, paninis all round. Good service, better than average food at a reasonable price.We will definitely go back.

just had sunday carvery fabulous meats cooked to perfection all veg hot and tasty the staff all friendly and couldnt do enough for us all in all lovely sunday lunch thank you

12 of usfor lunch,the food was hot ,tasty and fresh, friendly staff .very good value for money, would recommend.

Called for lunch as a treat. My husband had gammon and said it was the best gammon he had had in years, my meal was great too, especially enjoyed the fresh cooked veg. Intend to try an evening meal soon.

The food was so good, the carvery was the best I have had. My son has ceoliac so needs a gluten free diet, the made him his own Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese and gravy. We will definitely be going again.

We come here regularly for a drink. The bar area is great, lovely atmosphere and the staff are really friendly.We've come occasionally for food on a Sunday. The food is ok. This time we came, the yorkshires were burnt, and everything was a bit tasteless. However, my starter and pudding were excellent. We used to love coming for the homemade pie. This used to be a wedge of great tasting pie and homemade chips. This made the visit for us every time. They've changed it though to an individual pie in a small dish with a pastry lid. It's quite tasteless and dry so this is a real shame. Can't complain at the price though, three courses for £11.95 is excellent. We've never tried the food in the week so I'm not sure what it's like. We'll still come for drinks and the amazing atmosphere but might give the food a break for a bit.

Good choice from menu and specials board. You can choose to eat either in pub area or in the delightful restaurant area.Delicious food, served promptly and piping hot, friendly, efficient service, very reasonable prices.

Just had sunday lunch today. Was really excellent food lovely and hot. Very tasty. Staff were very welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. Will definitely return.

My wife and I took our grand daughter of nearly two years to the plough for lunch yesterday . It is under new management and was obviously a change for the better from the moment we walked through the door . We were greeted by a very friendly barman and shown to a table we both had a latte from a proper coffee machine and the girl made a baby chino for our grand daughter who demolished it it one and wanted more ( must have been good ) . The menu had plenty of choice I had chicken tikka lasagne it was perfect not too dry but not a sloppy mess spot on , my wife had fish and chips which was made with beer batter not some pre frozen bought in 3663 rubbish but the best of all was the childrens menu we ordered fish fingers and chips but when it came it was home made fish gougons again proper food no rubbish . How refreshing to get real food at such a great price too . If you have children try it . If you havnt try it aswell you will not be dissapointed

cant beat the plough for sunday lunch...extremely good value for money for 1,2 or 3 courses..lovely food and welcome by the waitresses etc...now eat there regularly!

My husband and I live locally and used to go to the plough for a bar snack regular, the plough pie and mushroom gondolas were well known and very popular, sadly the pub changed hands and plough pie was no more !! then we heard the original chef was back... yay turned into a nay after we tried the so called Marilyns plough pie, thought perhaps we had had ordered from the kids menu judging the portion size of all of it,the pie with the burnt undercrust the veg and the undercooked roast potatoes ,but not quarter of the price of course!!! Shame .

Food cooked by a lady who has had many years experience in the Mirfield area. Good value for the money. Shame about the landlady who's attitude regarding a misunderstanding about the price of tea was very rude.

Read the reviews of this place and they were very good. Booked a table for 4 as advised. Arrived at 6pm and the dining room was empty!!! The pub itself is a bit worse for wear. Anyway we ordered food from a confusing menu. No starters or desserts were on it, they were on the Sunday lunch menu. The food, though prompt and well presented was at best average. Don't think I will visit again.

Good food. Welcoming friendly staff . Very interesting twist on traditional lasagne. Will definitely be back

There were 8 of us in our party at lunchtime.The staff were very friendly as was the landlady. Nothing was too much trouble, and the meals were lovely and there was more than plenty on the plate, and that was the OAP size.We didn't have dessert, we were all full, but the price of dessert was very reasonable, as were the meals.The place was spotless, and nice and bright and airy.Would definitely go back again.

Amazing night at the plough last night, friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere, food was lovely and will definitely go back again and again x

Located in the middle of nowhere in a sort of "no man's land"" between Huddersfield, Batley and Dewsbury, the Plough is a local's pub where occasional visitors and passers by are welcomed. There are two bar areas, a pool room and a restaurant - or dining room as the stained glass panel in the door has it.Inside, the decor is traditional, yet bright and clean - more country pub than urban local. The bar offers the usual range of beers etc, and includes a couple of local Guest Beers. The food menu is largely English Staple, but is well cooked and presented and does not scrimp on quantity. The staff are pleasant, service is good, and the over 60s qualify for a discountWith real fires and good coffee, this is a delightful place to pass a leisurely lunchtime

Visited with family, made to feel very welcome, nothing too much trouble.Food was great, lovely and home made.. A rarity! Very good value for the price.

Wasn't too sure what to expect, we used to go to the railway in mirfield until it changed hands - and had heard the chef had moved to the plough. It seemed exactly the same set up - ie. 3 courses for £9.95 so fantastic value. Lovely large dining room, friendly staff. Food slightly better than average. We had prawn cocktail and soup which were both good, and a meat and potato pie with chips (yummy) and a beef roast dinner. The roast potatoes were pretty disappointing and the veg were limited with carrots and cabbage. Overall, you can't complain really for that price - will probably go again.

First time I have visited the Plough in Mirfield since it changed ownership. Lovely Meal, nice choice both for main course and pudding, and at reduced rates for OAPs, didn't have a starter. Will go again.

Went with my grandma a couple of weeks ago. Amazing place and really friendly staff the Yorkshire pudding sandwich was 2 Yorkshires filled with turkey (you could also have pork or beef) It was delicious!

I came here to one of my best friends party. We didn't actually dine in but the food provided by The Plough was delicious. The atmosphere is nice and I really enjoyed it. After running out of money we were given a free fruit shoot and got to request songs. A nice pub.

It was the first time we had called in to eat yesterday, the restaurant was nicely decorated clean and airey. We had a great meat n potato pie with plenty veg and gravy. Proper home cooked food, and were so impressed that we booked for Sunday lunch. Once again we were not disappointed, the service was quick the staff were polite, and most of all the food was great, a choice of beef, turkey, chicken or pork. A traditional Sunday lunch at a very affordable price, and if you still have room there is also a choice of puddings. Well worth a visit, but do book in advance as it does get busy.
