The Plough Pub is a hidden gem with a surprising twist – fantastic Thai food. The menu is packed with fresh, authentic flavors, from rich green curries to perfectly crispy spring rolls. The pub itself is cozy and welcoming, with friendly staff who make you feel at home. It’s a great spot for a casual meal or a drink, with a nice selection of beers and wines to pair with your food. The garden area is perfect for summer evenings, adding to the charm. If you’re after something a bit different from your usual pub grub, The Plough is well worth a visit.

Went saturday night and enjoyed the Thai food, in particular I can't recommend the salt and pepper duck enough, I had it as my main but let the rest of the table taste and then ordered another to share as dessert

Hi Jo and the team It was so nice to pop in the other day for a pint and catch up at The Plough It's such a welcoming environment, and the staff are so helpful and friendly It's clearly a very popular place to visit as it has a really great lunchtime and evening trade, and you can see and feel why... The freshly prepared meals that are ordered come out in a really great time and are served by a staff team with a smile and there is nothing too much to ask for, and it shows, and the place has so much character. I am looking forward to my/ our next visits very soon. Thai or special board 🤔 All the best Kevin x

We wanted to try the food there for a long time. We decided to give it a try today, as the weather was nice. We were not disappointed. My wife had the pork crackling, tender and tasty. I had the fish, cooked to perfection, with greens and potatoes and a tasty lemon sauce. Really pleased with the food. And the choice of 2 types of cider, a dry & a sweet one. Perfect Sunday, we'll definitely add The Plough Inn to our list of great pubs around home to bring family when visiting us. The service was on the slow side, but the place is cosy... And it was Sunday 😁

We arrived in the pouring rain and the car park was like a lake. To avoid my disabled wife having to walk through the water, I parked my car parallel to the grass. A member of staff waited until we reached the door before asking me to move the car to the far side of the car park. I was livid and got soaked after moving it. The food was very slow in arriving and other customers who arrived after us were seved before us. My wife ordered fishcakes which she didn't eat as they were tasteless. We have visited this pub many times but won't hurry back

Hey all I wanted to forward our thanks for a lovely Saturday evening It was the 1st time that we had eaten, and it was Thai on the menu The staff team was so welcoming, and with a little assistance from one of the team, we made our choices All of the choices were vegetarian, and all were really tasty and nicely presented It was a really busy evening, and the team was working flat out, but all of the team were all so attentive and helpful The whole experience was spot on, and we will be visiting again very soon The main menu served on other days has really diverse meals available, including plenty of vegetarian options plus specials on the board What a lovely anniversary ❤️ Kevin and Kathy (table 6) xxx

Update: Unfortunately, I have been disappointed by the quality of the food the last couple times we have ordered a Thai takeaway. Perhaps the chef has changed? Whatever the reason, the Thai food seems to lack the incredible quality it used to have. Still a lovely pub, but I can't strongly recommend the Thai food anymore. Previous review: The Thai food is incredible, possibly the best Thai food we've ever had! We loved everything we tried, especially the Pad Thai (#46), the Pad Kra Prao (#24), and the Lab Kai (#16). I'd recommend trying the coconut rice too! Cannot recommend the Thai food enough!

Popped in here whilst out cycling and myself and my friend both had the Gammon one with chips and the other with bubble and squeak. Food was really nice only gripe was the bubble and squeak was mainly veg and was watery. It’s a fantastic old pub with plenty of outside tables and gardens to the front side And rear. Savvanah was a great waitress and made a right fuss of my dog

Ate there last night. Hadn't booked and it was very busy, however the young lady behind the bar couldn't have been more helpful. She found us a table and brought our drinks over. The number of dishes on the menu will satisfy even the most picky of palates. There wasn't one dish out of the 8 we ordered that wasn't authentic, seriously tasty and reasonably priced. Despite being so busy the service was excellent too - 4 different people, each one engaging, polite and with a smile. The whole experience was uplifting and the food was everything we hoped for and more. One of the best meals out this year.

Previously only been there for drinks and bar snacks and it was ok. Heard that they had good Sunday roast,so took my youngest there for Sunday dinner. Came in a approached the bar and asked for a table,and the owner was there and almost shouted,"Do you have a reservation?" No smile, no greetings, just a pretty much rude challenge. It actually was not that crowded there so this woman owner , kind of sneered at me and said " go sit at that table over there and someone will get your order. No drink order, just go over there and sit down. Well we literally sat there for 35 minutes and were completely ignored. After which we left . I will never go there again. Not even for a drink. Very rude owner woman. Also there is a small deep lake in the car park. So put your waders on. Seems like a real local place,and apparently the owner does not like new customers. Absolutely horrendous treatment. Shameful for a restaurant/ pub owner to be so rude.

We were recommended this pub for a Thai meal. Went early in the week. Loved the pub, very cosy and the staff were super. But, sorry to say, the Thai food was a let down. We had ribs which we couldn’t eat. They were in a watery saice and really did not appear fresh. The currys were also in a thin sauce and in our opinion lacked flavour. The stir fried veg however were lovely - very fresh. To be fair the staff were apologetic and took the ribs off the bill and we were given drinks. The coffee was excellent. Perhaps the chef was not there that evening because friends went the following week and had a terrific meal. Maybe we will try again!

We came to try Fat Will's but it was underwhelming generally. Burgers were ok but definitely nothing special. My boys complained they had too much squeezy cheese on the chicken ones. At £15 each I felt they were overpriced. One nice waitress but the other one was not friendly and left us with the impression that we were an inconvenience. The desert menu advertised by Fat Wills and on the website was not the one that appeared in the pub. The belgian waffle was a packet waffle with one scoop of ice cream for £8 and not even warm - rip off! The cheesecake was straight out of the freezer - my son was cutting it with a knife it was so hard. Again overpriced. Disappointing as our Thai experience was much better.

Can't quite understand why we have left it 13 years to come back here. It's not changed a bit. The Plough is what a pub should be, catering for locals, diners & dogs! We had a wonderful welcome, served out drinks almost straight away, even though the bar was busy. Lovely, friendly atmosphere, attentive staff & the food & really good. We thought the prices were reasonable for what we had to eat & drink. Our dog got as much attention as we did from the staff which made us laugh lots. We most definitely won't be leaving such a huge time gap for out next return.

Disappointed with the Thai food tonight. We’ve eaten here on many occasions and tonight’s meal was by far the worst food we’ve had. The butterfly grilled prawns were poorly deveined and arrived with no marinade so were therefore dry when served with the boiled rice. The rice arrived in a chipped boil. When I tried to alert the manager to the issues she was quite dismissive albeit she did bring extra marinade out. Other bar and waiting staff were very apologetic and gave good service. Hopefully this was just a bad night as normally the food here is really good.

We went to this pub with friends as I have been told that the Thai food here is excellent but as I love Thai food and have been to many fine Thai restaurants I beg to differ I’m afraid. The pub itself is really old and atmospheric and is very buzzy but it’s almost impossible to get a drink at the bar as so many regulars just sit around and stand by it which is extremely frustrating as I had to shout my drinks order across people at the bar who just don’t really care and carry on chatting regardless as if you were invisible ( Rude, and should be stopped by the landlord/landlady immediately as it is a small bar ) Enjoyed the mixed starters but my friends ordered the Thai Beef salad which they love, but this was very poor and nothing like the ones they had before, saying it lacked the proper taste and no sauce, no heat and was very sweet ( Should have lime, fish sauce, chilli and slight sugar ) I ordered the whole sea bass which come in fillets, and that’s the first time I have ever ordered this dish in a Thai restaurant without the whole fish coming out, so they should alter that on the menu as I’m sure that the fillets just come out of a frozen pack from the supermarket ! However it was a lovely evening and the ambiance was superb, and we enjoyed it there enormously but will not be returning for the Thai food, but for drinks and a roast dinner if I can get to the bar and order !!!

The Plough has always had a good reputation for food and it did not disappoint. We had starters of Prawns Tempura and Pork Spare Ribs which were both superb in taste and quantity. My main course was Prawn Pad Thai and Sweet & Sour Beef - it was stupendous. My partner's Seabass with rice was just as good. From an old English pub, one doesn't expect superb Thai food but this offering beats any dedicated Thai restaurant in the area.

Dropped in for a pint and some food at lunchtime following a circular walk from the Plough. We arrived and were able to go in with our dog. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, even offered a bowl of water and a couple of biscuits for our dog. They were serving Thai food with an extensive menu of Thai food. The food was very authentic and made with fresh ingredients and was outstanding. Amongst the best Thai food that I have had in the UK. Will definitely be back again 👍

I have eaten at the Plough a few times now and never been disappointed. The food, especially the Thai menu is excellent. It is always hot, nicely cooked, really tasty, well presented and the portions are filling to say the least. The bar staff and waitresses are polite, friendly and attentive. Regardless of some previous reviews you cannot in fairness fault the service. Bar prices are average for the area and the food is very good value for the quality you are served. A few considerations if you are visiting. The car park is small and you can end up parking a fair way along the road if it is busy. The interior is quite cramped, having steps to enter and different floor levels. The ceiling is low with some beams so mind your head. There is indoor and outdoor seating, it is dog friendly, I would most certainly book before attending at weekends. It's a really nice traditional English village pub, well worth a visit.

There was a party event on so it was quite loud and very busy but that wasn't a problem at all. Loads of outside seating and a cute restaurant area indoors. Overall, it is a lovely country pub with a Thai restaurant attached. Very dog friendly with towels, biscuits, and water bowls available. Parking is difficult when busy and quickly spills out of the carpark and chokes the local road.

Came here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We came on a Wednesday evening thinking it will be calm, we did book. When arrived it was pleasantly busy, no parking spaces in car park but plenty on road. The girls who served us very pleasant and hard working and attentive. The pub/ restaurant has a nice vibe, this was added by other people in the pub the clientele were families and couples. Not loud louts. We did not know what to choose from a very extensive Thai menu. This menu is large. So opted for the set meal. We liked all the food and choice in the set menu was very nice. Some of the starters were deep fried, as meant to be. However for some reason and not the first time my wife had upset tummy later, we think there something to do with cooking oil as it has happened before in other nice restaurants, this is NOT a reflection of the food. We just need to work out what oil is used. To avoid in future. We will return and alter, choose food not deep fried, Would recommend, but book.

Ok portions, expensive, didn't quite get the expected quality given price. Dog friendly and booking the lady was very helpful and gave us an appropriate table for a bigger dog. Service started really well, friendly and fast, then simply disappeared, had to ask for the table to be cleared and dessert menus after waiting 40 minutes with staff constantly walking past (was very busy). Would try again on a different day as everything is resolvable and given popularity maybe we got unlucky this time.

We went for a Sunday roast. We were advised when we were seated that the service may be slow as they were short-staffed. The service was very slow, unfortunately it was also extremely rude. The waiting staff did not make eye contact when giving us our food and drinks, and were actually turned away from the table at the point of putting our food and drink on the table; such was their rush to get away. This was problematic when they provided me with the wrong drink but I could not tell them as they were facing away from me as they put it on our table. As we were only able to get the attention of the staff approximately once every 45 minutes, there was then no opportunity to get my drink changed afterwards. The staff did this on other tables as well, and we could see the look of offence on a neighbouring table when the vegetables for their main were eventually brought five minutes after their meal and thrown on their table without acknowledging the customers. This created an unpleasant atmosphere. I ordered a £7.95 "lemon sponge pudding" for dessert. I was given a slice of lemon cake. I didn't have an opportunity to say anything or change my dessert, as, again, the staff put the plate on the table whilst leaving. When we were able to ask for the bill, I said that I ordered a lemon sponge pudding but was given a slice of cake and the response from that member of staff was 'Well that's nothing to do with me" before immediately leaving. A different member of staff came to take payment and asked if everything was okay with our meal. I said that the service was rude, rushed without being quick, and that there were problems with my drink and dessert order. This member of staff defensively responded that the cake was homemade but did offer to get it deducted from the bill. She unfortunately was visibly shaking her head when walking away from our table afterwards. I found this dining experience actively offensive.

Although the management of The Bakery has changed, the table settings and service were still a high standard. There was less choice of menu options, but quality was still a good standard. In conclusion, a relaxing evening with friends.

This place seems to be relying on the menu and ratings of the old owners (Deep Blue) as it's only been Harbourfields a few months. Prices seem to vary day to day (not just my personal experience) so its difficult to say if it represents good value for money, they certainly don't represent what the menu says (probably because it's the old Deep Blue menu). Eaten there 2 or 3 times and today's meal has left me feeling rougher than a bucket of gravel. Overall , thought this place might improve with the change of ownership but seems to be around the same of maybe got a little worse .
