I'f you have a dog,do not go to this pub.... it is meant to be dog friendly I was just totally humiliated in front of everyone because my dog took a wee. I cleaned it up and the whatever behind the bar was disgusting and rude and made it clear that my dog was not welcome

First time ever going out for lunch on Christmas Day. Plough you didn't disappoint. Warm, friendly atmosphere, excellent food and service. Relaxed atmosphere and no real rush. We booked late which meant we had to eat at 12.30 which was too early for us but as we took a cancellation we didn't have a choice. You've convinced us to eat out next Christmas but we'll be sure we book earlier.

went there Today with a friend for the Sunday carvery. was the worse lunch i had in my life ! my friend who is a oap couldn’t eat it. the potato’s was overcooked and hard could break your teeth with them very hard to cut with knife . the meat was the same . to be honest didn’t tell the staff at the time of the meal as my friend didn’t want to complain. bit as the meal was so bad i told the member of staff at the end and bless him he did decide not to changed as for one of the meals .

Visited this evening, service was slow at first. Food arrived and was not great - typical ‘heated up pre made rubbish’ that tasted like a ready meal from a supermarket. Finished that and was still hungry due to small portion size so thought I’d brave a desert. Waited for a member of staff to come back… and waited, and waited. After about 45 minutes since finishing the main I went and asked someone. Pudding came and was better than main but still like a microwave budget supermarket item. Finished that and waited, waited, waited to pay…. Gave up and went to the bar to…. Wait because there was only one member of staff behind it. Overall, you get the picture. Lots of waiting for low quality microwaved rubbish.

I had to come and write a review as were blown away by how fantastic the lady that served us. I think she was the best waitress we have ever had and we eat out alot. Louise was new apparently but you would never tell that. We were a large party and she did so much to accomodate us on a very busy night, nothing was too much trouble. The food was fantastic too and great value! Thank you for a lovely meal!

Nice pub decent sized car park but that is it!! My husband chose the steak Pie and I chose a burger. His pie was totally indifferent with soggy pastry. My burger was so over cooked it crumbled and was dry. Service was sloth like even though they were not busy. When we eventually got waiters attention to try to order dessert the forest fruit berry waffle was unavailable as was the Eton Mess. We just gave up at this point, paid our bill and left. Will not be going back. Such a pity as the pub itself is nice and looked clean.

For the past fourteen years or so, we have frequented the pub to eat at least three times a month and, up until now, have always been very pleased with everything on offer... but last week it seemed as though the staff were really having an "off" day! Service was absolutely atrocious, which is unusual. There was too much chatting amongst the staff to the detriment of the guests and the food was just lukewarm. Very disappointed with the service (and the food).Hopefully this was just a blip!

After being served terrible food by a couldn't care less assistant manager, my partner and I walked out of the Plough two years ago, vowing never to return. Two years on, after hearing glowing reports of The Plough, its food and staff, we decided to go back, and ain't we glad we did! What a difference!Walking through the doors we could immediately see that the whole pub has been transformed. The atmosphere alone was enough to realise that everyone was happy and enjoying themselves. We wre met by immaculately dressed smiling staff and after a drink at the bar we were shown to a very nice table by a window. Natalie, our waitress, took our order and from that moment on our visit just got better and better.The service was absolutely first class, the food was absolutely delicious, and Charlotte and Nick, the manageress and her husband, very politely and professionally took the trouble to ask if everything was okay? It was more than just okay; it was perfect, so much so that my partner and I cannot wait to go back. Congratulations to everyone, especially Charlotte and Nick, for restoring the standard of food and service that were the norm before standards were allowed to roll rapidly downhill two years ago. If anyone is still reluctant to return to The Plough, don't be; once again The Plough is serving food that melts in the mouth and by staff who actually take pleasure in the job they are doing. Well done to everyone concerned, see you next Sunday. And I have sent a similar message to McMullens Chief Executive at Head Office, Hertford.

This is not Cordon Bleu chef standard. It does though have friendly helpful staff who really could not have been nicer.The food was good - think of a 'Harvester' type place but better. Pretty varied menu and not badly priced.Made a late booking (not late evening, but late to book) for a Saturday night and did not know what to expect.

I visited The Plough before a riding lesson so was only looking for a quick 30 minute coffee break. Sadly they don't have non dairy milk so it was a very large black coffee with a Biscotti biscuit on the side for me which was only £1.95.It's got lots of outdoor seating and various levels and types of indoor areas ( I chose a armchair by the newspapers) so you'll be spoilt for choice as to where to get comfy. At 13.30 there were about 7 other people having lunch, all were very complimentary to the staff about the food and I did notice some very good customer service from staff who greeted everyone on arrival and couldn't have been more attentive {I've already emailed HO about this service and also suggested more vegan food & drinks for my next visit}.I noticed that there are different food nights - Mexican, Indian, Sunday Carvery - making it a varied and probably popular haunt. I'd recommend booking for large groups or at busy times like weekends, the summer or Bank Holidays.Toilets were very clean and well taken care of and all on ground level for those with accessibility issues.You would need to drive to get here as the 505 bus is only one every 2 hours from Chingford Station (London Overground) or you'd need a taxi (about £9 from the station)so it's not the easiest to get to unless you're in the area.

The service was swift and friendly and the menu is pretty standard with all the dishes you would expect. The food was plentiful and tasted very nice indeed. I would recommend it.

Jasmine has no on-site restaurant at this time but they provide a great takeaway service. Their food is tasty and well cooked. Unlike some local competitors, they do not skimp on ingredients but provide plenty of good quality ingredients, including a good quality of the meat you expect as the mainstay of the dish you have ordered. Nevertheless, they have maintained good prices, inevitably periodically increasing sensibly as necessary but still maintaining very good value for money. Good, healthy, tasty Chinese food is sensibly priced without cutting corners! I recommend their Singapore rice noodles! Even though at peak times it can be difficult to get through on the phone, it's well worth just going over there, and they do provide a prompt and efficient service.

Great night at Atesh. Food and drinks were very good, and the service was excellent. The live singer and DJ were great, the only downside being the actual singer kept letting a 2 customers sing karaoke style. Would have been tolerable if it was 1 song for fun but they sang loads and even when the love singer had gone, they kept getting a mic and singing songs horrendously. Would defo come again and hopefully the live professional singer will be the only one singing!

A friend and I went for a meal last Monday 30th January. We arrived at 8.15pm and our order was taken very quickly, but not one thing was right. Both my friend and I ordered the vegetable and pasta soup, which on a positive note was delicious. However, my friend did not receive his at the same time. He waited patiently, then after ten minutes asked where it was. The waiter apologised, admitting he had forgotten. I had finished mine by then as my friend had asked me not to wait for him. For the main course, my friend ordered the vegan spaghetti bolognaise and I ordered pizza. My friend said his meal was tasteless and could have been hotter, and my pizza was barely warm, so I sent it back. I was promptly told that nothing could be done as the kitchen was closed (at 10 past 9?) so I mentioned that surely he still had access to a microwave. He commented that they don’t usually put pizzas in the microwave (Erm - I wanted it warmed up) but he did. For too long, though, as it was tough and inedible, so left it. We also asked for a jug of water. Along came a small jug despite there being two of us, and two dirty glasses, so we asked for two clean ones, which were then provided and should have been provided in the first place. Back to the jug, it was clearly a jug for one and not enough water for a whole glass each. For dessert, I ordered tiramisu and my friend ordered cheesecake, both of which were fine, but we had expected dessert spoons to eat with, not teaspoons… We had a 25% off voucher, which was why we chose Prezzo, but we will not be choosing the Buckhurst Hill branch again. The staff seemed in a rush to get rid of the customers who were left, so we didn’t order coffee, nor did we leave a tip, nor will we be returning, despite not being charged for the pizza I didn’t actually get to eat. Appalling service from a well-known and reputable chain.
