Waited an hour for food despite it being us and 3 other tables. When we got the food some of it was cold. Food missing from what we’d ordered. Again, us and 3 other tables but had to go and track down a waitress for the bill and again to pay it as no one was about. Disappointing.

Can't imagine how the chef will just let a burn 8oz sirloin steak reach the customer and let us have it after 1 hr 10 mins of waiting AND we are the first table who get into the restaurant.

Three of us had a very good experience at the Plough Dover. The service was excellent and we're served by Emma who was very polite, helpful and efficient seeing to not just us but everyone there. So she deserves a big well done from all of us. The food was really delicious and perfect portions for us. Another big well done to the chef that day. We have no complaints at all. 😀👏

Went Easter Sunday. Checked Menu before going and was looking forward to a roast or either Turkey, beef or gammon. On arrival we were told there were no roast dinners! But that's my fault. Why would I expect a restaurant which advertised a choice of roasts to have them. No reason given and no evidence on other table that they'd just sold out. I mean, it was Easter Sunday, it's not like it's a day when families visit eachother and go out for a meal. They were also missing loads of other food from the menu. Halloumi fries were delicious.

Server was more interested in serving other customers than us and seemed passive aggressive when we showed up when the place was empty but we still needed a booking.Waiter looked like she didn't want to be there and looked depressed when serving us.Food was not that good as the mixed grill was dry and the gammon was way too salty for a regular gammon

No peas, no choc sauce, no king prawn starter. Wine arrived 3/4 of the way through main, very loud baby and bored toddler screamed and yelled their way through their meal on neighbouring table ... loads of space position them or other diners apart, space not used. Worst evening at the Plough for.many a year.

Had a daddy/daughter date night (her choice). We arrived and were seated promptly and we ordered some drinks which arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Food was ordered and arrived quickly. Our waitress Stephanie was really polite and attentive. She was even apologetic for a wait, which wasn’t an issue. She checked on us periodically throughout the meal. At the end she was really chatty with my daughter and a credit to the restaurant.

We were sitting for 1.5 hour waiting for our food. Ordered a sirloin steak medium well, got one that was very well done and dry like Sahara. When complaining I could get another steak but after waiting so long for the food, just didn't have the energy for another wait. The food wasn't very good, the service was terrible, as they were understaffed, and when asking for a deduction on the bill, as I didn't receive what I asked for, I got some very nasty answers back. In all very disappointed and wouldn't recommend for anybody to eat there

It's sad to say that whilst our food was ok, it was dry and tasteless except the sausages. We are sorry to say but you can see cutbacks have been made on quality.

Took my mum yesterday for mothers day.. starters was breaded mushroom that were over done and hard and garlic flatbread but the bread was lovely, we ordered steak mine was ment to be medium/rare to well done mums was ment to be well done, mine came cold in the middle not cooked and mums was burnt and black, told the waitress who said she would change them, we got a roast instead it was ok but still not very nice, sogging potatoes full of greese, hard vegetables, we then decided to go. But the dessert was part of the menu you stayed to try that, we waited 40 minutes just for a bit of cake... I know it was busy being mothers day but it really ruined the day, and also my mother was up all night being sick etc...and still feels sick this morning. I've used beefeater for years, definitely won't be going there again for any special occasion...😑

We booked a table for 11 people, we arrived slightly early and was told our table would be ready shortly, we ordered some drinks at the bar. The barman was very polite and efficient. Before our drinks order was completed, we were told our table was ready. We were served by Emma. Our order was taken down perfectly by Emma, we were asked if we had any allergies, and we asked if we had all our drinks. Overall, Emma was very attentive and made the experience and atmosphere enjoyable. The food came out perfectly. There were items on the menu that were no longer available, but we were made aware of this prior ordering and didn't really have any effect on us. The food was hot, and steak was cooked as asked. All the staff that we encountered were pleasant and polite, even those that had no direct dealings with our group. The premises were clean and tidy. Will be returning.

We had arrived at the astonishment and we were waiting at the door for 10 minutes waiting to be say. Once this lady finally arrived the interaction between us was shocking this lady was tired, Stressed and was giving us wrong things. Once we had been seated we where waiting 30 minutes to be served and not one member of staff was in sight, Not Evan coming into the room to serve overs. After 35 minutes of not being served we left the astonishment and went to the Brewers fair where the staff where efficient, Respectful and the food was outstanding.

Came last Sunday, table was booked for 2.00 - unfortunately we got sat at our table and waited over 25 minutes to be served. We was just walked on by. It wasn’t that busy I have seen it worse. We asked if we could order more than once. When we then put our coat on to leave we was asked what the problem was. The girls seemed really nice but was very young and rushing about and talking more then actually serving. It’s a shame because I used to use here a lot but won’t be back now waste of a travel.

Location is good, as we were staying in the Premier Inn next door, before an early morning start on the Euroshuttle. Thankfully we'd had the foresight to book a table online on the morning we were due to arrive, as we were informed at check-in that the Beefeater was fully booked that evening (which would have put a spanner in the works after the long drive!) - if like us, you'd banked on a meal there, I would advise to pre-book. We were served by Theresa, who was excellent. Both of the meals were good. Would definitely book again if staying in the Premier Inn.

Had my car MOT booked in at the garage next door and so I dropped the car off and took the kids here for dinner. Our waitress Emma was lovely and made sure the children were kept entertained and went out of her way to get them crayons and activities. I was impressed with the children’s menu, with a fun smash igloo to demolish for dessert, they were thrilled. At £7.95 for a children’s 3 course meal, it was superb value for money! As I local, I haven’t been to the Plough in years because it had a reputation of being overpriced and basic but it’s definitely improved!! The food was delicious and very well priced. Emma and the team made us feel very welcome, thank you.

We came here for my son's 18th birthday as he wanted a cheap mixed grill and with these chains you know what to expect. They seemed short staffed as upon arrival we asked one of the waitresses if they would mind putting candles on a cake and bringing it out to him, she seemed put out and wasn't sure she would have time, which is fine, but she was very brusque and less than accomodating about it. The waitress serving our table was lovely though and did her best to make us feel well looked after along with what appeared to be the manager. The food was ok but most of the meals weren't hot and needed to be replaced, some of us just ate it anyway. Probably won't go back to this one.

Just one problem meal come with wrong type of chips. Frozen not skin on chips. But was happy to have them. Good choice of food available. The Toilet (man’s). Ok, could do with a small makeover (bit of paint, etc) main restaurant and bar was good. And service good. Also outside seating, available. (Tables could do with a bit of repainting, and ashtrays being emptied out). Overall. Good restaurant and helpful friendly staff.

We were there on Saturday at 5.30 p.m., unfortunately there was no beef pie, no fish and chips and no more spring onions. It was busy, our waitress was traveling a lot, so I couldn't really take advantage of my drink refill deal or had to wait longer. I got different chips than what I ordered and once a different drink than what I ordered. Personally, I would choose a different restaurant next time. However, the food was okay, the only annoying thing was that the menus we actually wanted weren't available.

Use this beefeater quite alot I'd given it a good review before but I am having to edit it due to our experience today, the wait was around 50 minutes and the roast dinners was not good asked how we wanted the beef we said pink came out over cooked and chewy, I said we asked for the beef to be pink they said it comes as is so have no idea why they asked how we wanted it, The chicken was slimey the potatoes wasnt very nice, fish was over cooked had to send fillet steak back as it was also over cooked by the time it came back out everyone else had finished eating ( left nearly everything on the plate) so not much eating really overall really dissapointed.

It was a great atmosphere with the front of house team making you so welcome - Easter Sunday. We shared a bruschetta to start with which was well presented, lovely tomatoes. We had a lamb roast and beef roast dinner - which was cooked lovely and full of flavour. My wife liked the parsnip and onion accompiament, I loved the beetroot - but too me the best of all was the roast potatoes. Very generous portion of lovely food. Thanks I would hight recommend

We ate here two nights in a row on a recent trip. Both evenings the staff were extremely friendly and the food was excellent also. One downside is that they do not have an area for baby changing, although I was able to use a quieter room. They did however have a high chair available and were very accommodating otherwise. Worth a visit!

Have eaten within the Marco Pierre White restaurant numerous times and never had a bad meal. If you’re lucky enough to get a window seat, then you’re treated to views of the English Channel as well as seeing the ferries leave the Dover port. The service has always been great as well as having friendly and polite staff. The food is always well presented, cooked perfectly and reasonably priced. Would recommend their steaks. Would definitely visit again in the future. To avoid disappointment, I’d recommend booking a table in advance.
