Went for a carvery and disappointed by the food which was bland will not be returning

We've always enjoyed going here as a place to meet family and friends however went last night (a Friday) and couldn't wait to leave. We sat outside in the garden area because it was a hot evening and the smell was terrible. I'm guessing they had a problem with the toilets because there was only one in use and it looked like the staff toilet. Went inside to eat and had to keep looking for the waiting staff when we needed to order or pay. It was stiflingly hot inside with no fans or windows open so we finished our drinks back in the smelly garden. I understand that problems do happen but really the place shouldn't have been open the smell was awful. The outside area in general has gone downhill. It used be lovely but now it's tatty. Disappointed.

Whilst this used to be one of our "go to" places in the area, we went there a couple of days ago and it was awful. The owners have let it go beyond belief - outside was terrible with weeds growing everywhere and the kids play area shut off, not to mention rat traps around the seating area. The food was atrocious with dry meat (carvery and Hunters Chicken), to the point it was almost inedible. We left 2/3rds of the meal, and when the staff came to clear our plates, considering the amount of food left, didn't even ask whether everything was OK- terrible food terrible service, terrible overall. What was once a lovely pub is now on the "avoid at all costs" list. If I could give negative stars, it would score 5 on that scale.

Nice place, but service staff seemed inexperienced. It may have been due to the time we went 3ish on a Sunday, but the place was pretty quiet, and every conversation could be heard. Food was delivered fairly quickly. My main was a mixed grill that was plentiful and cooked well. I will go back again as it may have just been a one-off due to the time we went

I go to the Ploughon my way home from work mainly.It is always a great atmosphere with quite a few characters.The beer is always excellent and bar staff amazing with especially the Landladywith her sense of humour.She keeps a good house which is always very clean and tidy which goes along way.There a price war in the Catshill area and unfortunately Beth’s hands are tide but most regulars still go and support her because it is a good house. MT PS I have not eaten at the Plough.

Went for the Sunday carvery today. Received an unwelcoming and offhand reception on arrival. Food was bland, the turkey seemed to be reconstituted meat. Only the gravy and condiments gave it some flavour. Won't be returning in near future.

Having been here a couple of weeks ago to enjoy an excellent mid-week Carvery, we thought we would try the 'Breakfast Carvery' - available on Thurs/Fri/Sat - until 11.00am. I was a little worried having checked the website first only to see the stated opening times were 12.00 each day! Ignore - the website is going to be updated. On arrival we were greeted with a lovely welcome and shown to a table. Having chosen how we would like our eggs cooked, it was only a short wait until we were called to the 'carvery'. Our plates were ready, with eggs as ordered, and another plate of toast & butter. On offer was everything you could possibly want for a traditional British Breakfast. In carvery fashion, you could select and help yourself to exactly what you wanted - no limit, and the quality was exceptional. Certainly one of the best breakfast's I have had and fantastic value. Overall, a lovely pub environment, extremely welcoming and friendly Staff and above all, great food and value. Cannot recommend enough. We will certainly be back.

We went there this morning for a breakfast. We came in, said hello in a friendly manner to the receptionist and she literally just stared at us in silence. It wasn’t till my partner said hello again could we come for breakfast she said we’re not doing breakfast we’re closed now. That was it. It was extremely uncomfortable and awkward. The greeting was just bizarre and I was made to feel very unwelcome. I’m in hospitality myself and I was taken aback to how rude and strange that was.

This is my local without a doubt and been going for years but after my experience today I would reconsider coming back. I have never ever had a bad meal or bad service since me coming to this delightful place but today on Mother’s Day 10th March 2024 I have never had such a very poor experience like it ever. We arrived 10 minutes before time and there was a huge queue to await to be seen and seated. Other customers behind me were shown to their seats and their table time was at the same time as mine. Other customer had been waiting for their table for over one hour and we were not that far behind. Customers were getting very frustrated as well as my party was even those behind me and some voiced their outrage. I had three elderly relations with me all in their 80s for which by this time they all were crumbling. When we finally got shown to our table to be seated the service was abysmal virtually non exsistent. No cutley noticeable no seasoning and the table was dirty. We had to find staff and ask for drinks to order, for the menus to look at, to place orders for food and when our meals arrived they were all cold and not very tasty most of which as overcooked. Very very disappointing.. I appreciate it was a very busy day but even so it was very badly organised. Christmas Day last year 2023 was absolutely phenomenal and outstanding. What on earth has happened. Today was an utter disaster. Will I be back .. I doubt it!

I arrived in plenty of time for my 3 pm table for Mother’s Day 10th March there was a huge queue waiting to be seated in front of me and my party of 6 there was no one at the desk and people were getting very frustrated for the extremely long wait for a table we were finally shown to our table nearly an hour late the table wasn’t laid and it was very sticky to the touch there was no waitress in sight so we had to call out when we finally saw one for a menu and to order some drinks when we finally ordered the starter arrived cold the French onion soup was just a pile of boiled onions with no liquid the stuffed portobello mushroom arrived shrivelled and cold and the duck pate was unspreadable now the carvery two of my party had the salmon that arrived very small over cooked and dry and the skin wasn’t removed the carrot puree looked crystallised and not smooth the sautee potatoes were shrivelled carvery was luke warm the meat was extremely fatty the plates were very small and cold now the sweet the Eaton Mess was just like a mousse meringue was missing the apple and rhubarb crumble was like tinned fruit and no crumble and the custard was cold all in all an extremely disappointing afternoon and I would not recommend eating here

Not just a lump of sponge, as some places serve)in a proper pudding bowl with a generous amount of custard.Perfect.Our friends meals were given the thumbs up too.One of them had a massive cod with fries. Pleasant staff and a congenial manager.We thank you all and will return soon.

Went for sunday lunch. 3 adults. The place was almost empty. Initially it seemed good, but as a previous review mentions, there were no adults supervising the young staff, who seemed more intent on all congregating at one end of the bar, or dancing with each other. This place used to be excellent but I won't return.

A friend and I wanted to try somewhere new for a change, so decided to try The Plough & Harrow at Drake's Broughton. We both had a carvery they gave a choice of 3 sizes small, medium or large we both had medium. There were 3 choices of meat which was ok, but very disappointed with the choice of not many different vegetables. So after the disappointment of the carvery we decided to try a dessert which also turned out to be a disappointment. The place itself was lovely.

When we got there the first member of staff who was nice and friendly sat us right by the cold fire exit door even though there was loads of tables free everywhere else which i thought was weird so I asked to move. We were moved into a gorgeous room with big chandeliers on the ceiling and it was really festive with all the fairy lights. I couldn't understand why we weren't offered this area first. There was only 1 other group in there. The food was delicious, and lots of choice, including vegetarian options. The 2nd girl that served us wasn't the cheeriest but we still really enjoyed it. We love a rustic dog friendly pub with lots of character and even though it not the cheapest, it's definitely worth the money, thanks!

Have been for carvery lunch at the Plough and Harrow Pershore today . To be honest we couldn’t get a booking at the two other pubs who do carveries . We were surprised therefore to see that it was only a quarter full especially three weeks before Christmas however when we saw that the carvery was £16 we realised why . We thought if it was really good it would be worth it but unfortunately the vegetables were luke warm and the beef was tough . Also no horseradish/mustard or cranberry sauce on display. On the plus side the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Having moved locally, this is our nearest Restuarant. We have been here three times in the last eight months. Having given the establishment three chances, we have now decided to leave a review in the hope that things can change. On each of the three visits we have unfortunately experienced; Mediocre food quality, Well over the odds prices for the quality of food. Really poor service. Greeted with a comment of “Food or drinks” , no hello or welcome, and no pleasantry comments during the ordering, meal and closing transaction.

After having to change our booking several times (our fault) and this being absolutely no problem for them, we booked for an afternoon meal. There were 8 adults, a 13, an 11 a 4 year old and 2 babies. Nothing was too much trouble for them, even providing toys for the little ones. The food was delicious, the 13 year old (who can be fussy) cleared his plate quicker than ever seen and those who had the carvery said it was the nicest carvery they had ever had. Truly a great day and a lovely experience with great food. Thank you

They have just started serving a buffet style breakfast with a good introductory price of just £7 and seeing how they are only 2 mins up the road thought i would give it a go, eggs were cooked to order (nice touch) sausage and bacon were very nice the sort you would expect from the butchers, there was black pudding which was very nicely cooked (not the disintegrating over cooked slop you might usually get) fried bread, hashbrowns, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans and chips (wasn't expecting that but the kids might like it) all served with toast and real butter. coffee was excellent freshly ground all in all a very nice breakfast, grab a bargain i think the offer is on for the next week or 2, and if you like a carvery its excellent we have had several and its been very good and hot (every time!) as a point of reference I'm in my 50's so I've been around the block and know a nice meal when i have one :) if you like your ale i can recommend the neck oil

Having visited here many times and enjoyed what was a top quality Sunday Carvery, I was very disappointed with the quality of the food and the service from the staff. For starters, we were seated in the darkest part of the restaurant, even though there were plenty of tables available, and it was 5pm so I don’t think all those spare tables were booked. When a different waitress came to take our drink order, we asked to be seated somewhere different, this was no problem - so why place us in the worst seating to start with? Albeit we booked for the last sitting of the day for the Carvery, and with this in mind I didn’t expect the vegetables to be as they are at midday, but the vegetables were basically mush. There were no carrots, and when I asked if they would be anymore I was told very rudely by the lady staff member who was carving the meat, “no more carrots” there was no apology, (btw she needs training on carving a joint, my beef slices looked like three rump steaks it was that thick). I was then informed that if I wanted carrots, there was mashed swede and carrot available, which I had. But it was inedible as it was like puréed baby food. When we paid for our Carvery (which was definitely not worth £16 per person) we were not asked ‘if all was ok with our meals’ which seems to be the norm at other restaurants. So all in all, the Plough and Harrow has really gone down in both its quality of food and customer service from the staff.

A very pleasant Greek salad with flat bread and hummus and plenty of feta but lacked tomato- 2 cherry tomatoes cut in half and dressing. I would have asked for dressing however no-one approached our table whilst we were there to ask us if we needed anything or if we were enjoying our food. We left without dessert or coffee for this same reason. Menu not as good as 12 months ago

I popped here quite a few times having paddle boarding on the Avon as it's on the way home. The service has always been very slow. The last time we visited we waited over an hour for cheesy chips which eventually came out cold when I asked where they were. We spoke to a waitress who was very nice and said it's not acceptable and they'll refund us everything when we've finished (inc groups). After waiting at the bar for 20 mins I was served and told everything had been refunded. After a few weeks I realised it hadn't been refunded. I have emailed and messaged on FB and just keep getting ignored.

I came in for dinner with my family & a few friends. I ordered the carvery which was okay but very cold & the selection wasn’t great. I did inform our waitress who acted as if my complaint was the least of her worries which didn’t set a good tone for the meal, she was young but the attitude was not necessary. We had a few enquires throughout the meal but every time I called our waitress over she was too busy chatting to her friends or on her phone. the food, although cold I could have put down to a bad day however the staff (we spoke to 3 of them) were all rude. We asked to speak to a manager and was told he was busy however our waitress was next in charge, well If she is in charge with an attitude like that I’m glad we won’t be returning. such a shame i visited in March time and it was lovely, clearly gone down hill. We were warned by other family members that the staff have made the place go down hill but as we had a good experience we thought we would give it a go. Wish we would have listened.

Called in on Bank holiday Monday for a carvery ! It was delicious good choice of vegetables and all fresh (unlike some soggy frozen ) the meat was beautiful and tender just melted in your mouth . Service was great too . My only criticism was that I thought the veggies needed to be hotter they were only just warm and the cauliflower cheese was actually almost cold ! I like my food piping hot , my husband likes his just warm ! But on the whole would recommend it !

Wide open car park just off the main road. Easy to park. Pub entrance wide enough for wheelchairs and staff at reception desk really good. A minor hiccup over the online booking if a table was sorted by the manager who found a table for us. Our table server was lovely. She was open smiley and genuine. Drinks order taken whilst we looked at the menu. There were two or three other options on the menu but on a Sunday the reason we were there was for the carvery. £16 may sound a lot but on reflection it was worth it. Atmosphere, setting and overheads considered, £16 per head was reasonable when the selection was viewed. Three choices, beef, ham, turkey with or without a Yorkshire pudding with 12 trays of optional veg, including: Cabbage, broccoli, parsnips, peas,.carrots, pomme dauphinois, red cabbage, swede mash, stuffing balls and mashed potatoes. Plenty of gravy and options for cranberry sauce etc also available. Tasted really good. Table service was charming during and after our meal. Toilets clean and fu ctio al I'd recommend this as good family orientated carvery location. Note that at the time of writing, close after 5 on a Sunday although revised opening from September, so check to avoid disappointment. Well worth a visit

I went once and thought it was just an off day as my previous experience here when run by mature staff it was possibly the best carvery in the county, however after three visits in the past year thinking each time will be better all I can say is this. The staff are lovely, however I don't think there is a single member of staff outside the kitchen over the age of 20 and the service shows. The food in my opinion has taken a nose dive since years gone by. The meat I edible but that is about as far as it goes, the veg which has been sat dying under a hotplate for gid knows how long and the tasteless brown water which somehow passes for gravy brings together a totally bland, tasteless collection. After three visits, reviewing the same disappointment in terms of carvery each time I think I can safely say its not just a one off.

This pub has been a halfway meeting point for us and our friends for the last couple of years.3-4 times a year Todays visit is our last sadly! WHAT HAS GONE WRONG? The menu has been significantly reduced and quite unappealing. What we ordered from it was unavailable. There is no carvery. My wife had the Ploughs philly cheesesteaks sandwich which was appalling, just 3 x 20mm wide x 100mm long strips of meat a 50mm square of mozzarella, no chilliest just 3 strips of yellow bell pepper, in an enormous bread roll. We ordered drinks with ice and was told someone was currently buying it from the local supermarket, (it arrived in time) before our drinks were served. Then we had to order different starters which took an age to appear. Whilst we were in no hurry the mains didn't appear for over 20 minutes and had to be chased up. The young staff were unaccustomed to the menu and couldn't answer our questions without toddling off to ask someone. Generally nowhere near where this pub used to be, very disappointing experience today.

Popped in midweek for a carvery but unfortunately this option is off the menu midweek. We were not alone as others requested the same thing. I had the burger and my wife the ploughman's with a salad. Have to say granola with avocado and coriander was a tad left field. My burger was ok if a tad overcooked. Staff and service were both ok and not intrusive. In summary no carvery here during the week.

Very disappointing. Over the years we've enjoyed going to the P&H for a Sunday carvery, whereas today's visit was somewhat mediocre at best. To start with, the self-serve carvery was unavailable as it was "broken". We tried to order drinks at the bar upon arrival and were told we had to order from the table. This took a while. The beer my father requested wasn't available unless he wanted the dregs which, according to waitress, "tasted like dirt". He asked for an alternative and didn’t like it at all. The alternative to the self-serve carvery was a plated up Sunday roast, with no options other than choice of meat. For some reason, the prices on the printed out Sunday roast menu didn't match those on the main menu which in itself had also changed, offering much less options. It also took a while to get a waitress to take our food orders. When the food arrived, it was lukewarm and tasteless. The cauliflower cheese consisted of overcooked, mushy cauliflower and not a whiff of cheese. The roast potatoes were difficult to cut into then dry inside. The meat quantity was much less than "normal" and also tasteless. All in all, very disappointing and not worth £16/head. We then waited......and waited......and waited some more, until we lost the will to live and had to ask for someone to clear our plates and let us see the dessert options (by this point it was so late in the day, our options for going elsewhere for dessert were slim to non-existent). Desserts - very few to choose from. The "hot" chocolate fudge cake wasn't hot, and the "shortbread biscuits" with the creme brulee had transformed themselves into Lotus Biscoff plastic wrapped biscuits you get chucked in for free at coffee shops. The tables were sticky, there was a fly getting on our nerves that just wouldn't "do one" and my father felt he'd become invisible at the bar, he had to wait so long to pay. Unless things change, we won't be returning.

So very disappointing I've always loved this pub for food but our meal was shocking carvery was broken so we had plated up food which I think was from the lunchtime rock hard stuffing reheated roast potatoes too hard to cut up reheated meat which was dry just awful and for 16.95 a head definitely not worth the money on a plus the staff are lovelyv

Table of 8 for octogenarian birthday. We were on the dark side. Noisy as busy and struggled re conversations. Service OK but nothing special. Food good but some of it lukewarm. Strange taste to brulee but should have chosen something else. My mistake. Service charge added but took off when asked.

Nice place with plenty of parking. Me and my partner went for the carvery. We both aren’t massive eaters so went for the standard plate size and there was plenty of meat per portion. The vegetables tasted fresh and were cooked really well. No soggy...

We called in for something light for lunch. The sandwiches looked expensive so we ordered a ploughman's sharing board. The pork pie and sausage roll were inferior to most supermarket offerings so clearly not made by a butcher or baker. The rest was pretty average....

Shocking! Menu - not as advertised on the website. The actual menu in the building lacked range and interest. The carvery was a disgrace - luke warm, clearly had been reheated and was frankly vile. The gravy was gloopy beyond belief. Now to the staff - clueless and unattentive. BUT if you like country music and are happy with god awful food this is absolutely the place for you. They get one star for being clean and having quite nice decor but nothing for actual service or food.

A good evening in a nice atmosphere, however some of the vegetables were only luke warm from the carvery. The beef was really good but my wife's gammon was not very good at all.

Very unfortunate as when we walked in the carvery smelled lovely. But service was extremely slow, we then had the carvery which was just about warm, the vegetables looked like they had been sitting there all morning and the roast potatoes and yorkies were hard and had a funny taste, tasted like cardboard asif they had been heated back up from the past few days. We then asked for a dessert menu after clearing our plates up which the waitress didnt come back to clear the final plate and didnt even come back with the dessert menus, after a while we couldnt even flag down a waitress as no one come near us so had to go up to the bar to ask for the bill as it seemed we were forgotten about as we didnt get the dessert menus at all. The only good thing i must say is the meat portions, other than that it was a very bad first experience here, will not be returning.

Went for carvery on Easter Sunday and was not disappointed, carvery had a good range of meat and vegiterian options, as well as a really good range of vegetables. All of it was hot and looked / tasted fresh. The kids menu had enough on it to feed the kids and they were happy. While we did not eat off the standard menu we did look at it and it had a good range of options all along the lines of what you would expect of a gastro pub. We will go back and try the normal menu although a mid week car wry is offered.

I visited today woth a friend. Previous to booking on line I wasnt made away of the over priced sunday roast otherwise we wouldn't have gone. TO MY ABSOLUTELY SHOCK AND DISGUST we were charged £18.00 for a carvery. I pulled the manager over and asked why the prices have changed so much. Hes response was 'its the cost of the lamb, and its because of easter' Absolutely shocking response to a customer. Its not the customers fault what choice of meat is selected. There was 4 tables with customers and its only a reflection on the poor decisions made. Would definitely not returning.
