The Plough Inn in Denbighshire

Unfortunately second visit in the past few weeks and I was disappointed again! First visit had to return a vegetarian burger which was rock solid. But to be fair was swiftly and politely resolved with a lovely fresh burger. Today , Sunday had two Sunday pork roast dinner which was supposedly served with crackling, we didn't see any crackling,and no apple sauce. What left the meal down as well is that it was cold. Cold food and plates! Two roast dinner,single gin and tonic and a pint of fruity cider £42.75. Our plates where quickly cleared without asking if everything was ok.

The plough has an extensive daytime pub menu. Lovely atmosphere with table service and great staff. The food was delicious and they went above and beyond when there was a problem with one of the meals. Would highly recommend for good sized portions and great service.

We visited the Plough Friday 6pm, 6 of us eating. I ordered the sirloin steak which was overcooked, nobody came to ask how our food was. So I took the uneaten steak quietly back inside, explained to bar staff I’d more than happily pay for everything I had eaten. Where the bar manager huffed and took the food back inside to the chef and came back out with the meat on a new plate and insisted I kept it because there was nothing she could do. The whole episode was mortifying. The bar manager I believe was called Caz was so rude to me. She then shouted across the bar while I got a drink with the 50% credit she begrudgingly gave to me not to order steak next time I come. Even the security staff looked shocked. Obviously I will not be going back to eat or socialise there again. Which is a shame because it used to be a nice place to go.

We celebrated our wedding here. We had a three course meal for 17 people and the service, food and ambience were outstanding as always. Saffron, Chloe and Harry went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend a visit. Thank you so much for making a perfect day run so smoothly. Goes without saying we will be back. Great place for a celebration, lunch or even just a quick drink.

I arrived just after they had stopped there breakfast and the member of staff went out of their way to get me a sausage and egg bap as that is what I wanted at the time but had missed their times for breakfast. Lovely friendly staff and dogs are also welcome. The bap was lovely and have been back more than once’s in the last couple of months.

Visited recently and had below expected experience. Service was seriously slow. Poor young chap was rushed off his feet. Food was below par. Time between drinks was too long. Two meals were burned and inedible. Won’t rush back. Very poor.

Thank you to Caroline and the staff at the Plough . We had a wonderful time having food and cocktails . Staff were very attentive , and very polite . We will definately be back .

Went at 3 o clock on a Thursday with big family not much atmosphere ..food just standard not worth what they charge for it..skewer meal ridiculously overpriced ...just seemed a miserable place with miserable staff..doubt will go back

Disapointed. Steak meal was raw and not medium. After a little discusion this was removed from bill. Annoyed after a pint of lager was returned as flat a small amount of the drink was consumed. Bar person referred the issue to our waitress who came to us and said there was not an issue with the gas. She then questioned how much of the drink had been consumed. The inference being that we were trying to get a free pint. This really put a damper on our evening as once suggested it cannot be taken back. This was brought to the attention of the manager at the same time as the steak issue was being sorted. The manager said the waitress would not have meant it that way. Never the less this is the way it was perceived and ruined the evening. We left early as we felt offended.

We had a lovely dinner today, plenty of it, and nicely presented. The service was friendly and fast. We had a really nice time today, thank you.

we visited for my friends bday as she wanted a sunday roast, i opted for the nut roast as it said there was a vegan option so i asked the server for that, when it arrived i noticed a large yorkshire pudding on the plate, i questioned the server about it being vegan, he asked the chef and retuned and took my plate away, a few minutes late back with same plate minus the yorkshire pudding, the vegetables arrived in a separate dish for me and my friend (meat eater) to share, it included mashed potato's which was topped with the vegetables, my friend tried to mashed potatoes and said they tasted very buttery so i again questioned the server if the mashed potato was vegan and he didn't know and asked the chef, came back and said no they are not, i complained to him that this had happened even though i'd stated 3 times that i wanted my food vegan, he didn't say anything and kind of stormed off which was very odd, moments later a lady server arrived asking me if i was ok, she then explained that she was the manager and had been sent over as there was a problem, i explained to her what happened and she said that it wasn't the servers fault and that the chef thought that VE meant vegetarian not vegan even though on their own menu it says VE means vegan, what kind of kitchen are they running is the chef doesn't even know the difference, i was then given some heated up frozen vegetables and wasn't charged for the meal; the whole experience was very underwhelming, we were also then ignored by our server for the rest of our stay which seemed extremely unprofessional, i feel lots of staff training i'd needed here

Can't believe the prices of alcohol a glass of wine £9.75 so expensive unbelievable totally overpriced the place is ok but the food can be hit or miss. This place wouldn't survive anywhere else they take advantage of the local people.

My worst experience ever in hospitality Was made to feel very unwelcome lovely place on the surface just don’t dig to deep plAce is full of monsters

We have had meals here many times over the years since the Plough was completely refurbished especially Sunday lunches. Generally speaking meals here have been good or very good. Today, as we were in St Asaph, we decided to call in for lunch. I chose the Chicken and bacon pie main and my wife the Lasagne. We came away feeling quite disappointed with our meals and service. Firstly, My wife had to go looking for a server after a fair period waiting for our table to be serviced. I then received the wrong pie dish but this was promptly corrected . My wife said her Lasagne was overcooked and my pie looked great on the plate but contained some pieces of chicken which were very chewy, a lot of crispy chip bits, and the sauce was disappointingly tasteless, which was surprising based on past form. No one checked at the table to see if our meals were to our liking until I was asked by the chap behind the bar when paying the bill. I know it’s possible to have an off day, but in a competitive hospitality industry with several good eating establishments in the vicinity and the cost of a meal out having ballooned in the last year or two I would expect better than today’s effort.

Went here with family for a lovely Sunday lunch. We've been before a few times, including Christmas Eve, but never on a Sunday. The meals were all lovely, we were 4xA and 1xC and everyone really enjoyed their meal. The chicken starter is particularly delicious, as are the brie wedges. Lots of options on offer as well as a roast, but we all had roast. Loads of veggies and lovely roasties! The honeycomb cheesecake is to die for. Only one "non-complaint" - there is no cheeseboard option for pudding, so nothing for diabetics. Service was great, one young lady was very quietly spoken and we struggled to hear her, but the waiter we dealt with after (very tall chap, with long blonde hair) was very friendly and engaging. Food and drinks all came promptly. All of it was very reasonably priced, less than £150 for 5 of us. We live within walking distance and will definitely be back!

The Plough in St Asaph A reliable favorite with great atmosphere and cool decor. The food is reasonable on deal night but the drinks can be expensive as I have just payed 15.50 for a large glass of white wine and a pint of Madri. That aside it is a nice place to waste an hour

Great food/staff and a totally great experience.One little complaint the fire wasnt lit .Didn't spoil anything other than the atmosphere.

We just called in for drinks, sat outside in the sun, I asked for drinks, the lady didnt say a word she just held the card machine for me to tap my card to pay.

We recently visited The Plough in St Asaph for our annual Christmas party. We had a great time, and the food and the service was excellent. There were 28 of us and it was well organised with all the meals coming out at the same time. This was no mean feat, as they were very busy. A great time was had by all. Many thanks to all the team.

Noticed Quite a few negative reviews appearing on here , so thought I would balance it back a bit , 6 of us visited on a mad busy Sunday afternoon 10th December , the guys were just recovering from a crazy couple of hours , drinks were a tad slow but a quick nudge to the fab staff and over they came , as usual the Sunday lunch was superb , I can’t talk for everyone in our party but for the better half and myself it is the best roast in our area . Girls upstairs were great fun and friendly , will be back before the big fella arrives for sure ! 😂 Dave and Lisa

Food was ok when we were eventually served except for a flatbread that was unchewable and a plastic tab found in my food. Informed staff, had a cursory apology and was offered a replacement meal which was pountless as I was half way through and the service was so slow that my husband would have finished by the time mine was seved. I won't go again.

We have been on many occasions before but we were very disappointed with the standard of the food this time. We had roast turkey dinner and the roast potatoes were obviously reheated the side veggies were cold. We will not be eating there again.

Came here today for our brother s memorial meal.we had the Sunday roast.i had ham and my sister beef had a side of cheesy mash and onion rings.it was really tasty.never had a bad meal amazing staff especially Harry and Caroline have booked for next month

I visited with my partner for a treat on the evening of the 30th of October. The staff on arrival were very helpful and we made our way to our table. We did find the service very slow, we ordered our drinks and asked for a few minutes to decide what to eat - the waitress then returned rather quickly and asked if we could order our food ASAP because the kitchen was closing (I had booked a table so was a bit surprised that the kitchen was closing so soon). It did feel a bit rushed however we ordered and had some Nachos to start which were excellent, however we both had the chicken in a basket for main and found the chicken to be very bland (looked like frozen pieces of breaded chicken?). The slaw also lacked flavour, we did order some onion rings on the side which were very good. I was waiting to mention something to a member of staff for some time but I didn't see any member of staff from when our mains were brought out until we paid our bill at the end of our visit which was a shame. For a more premium price point (£15 for Chicken in a Basket main) it would have been more economical and flavoursome to visit KFC.

9 of us called here for breakfast on our trip elsewhere, Breakfast was lovely and the staff were very friendly and very efficient.

I ordered Southern Fried Chicken in a basket with chips. The amount of chips I had was enough for 3 people and the chicken wasn’t the best - very dry and over cooked.

We are on holiday and decided to try the plough, what a wise choice. The staff are so attentive, the steak was delicious and the Diane sauce was the best we have ever tasted. Nice cocktails too A Lovely end to our break in St Asaph

Staff were friendly and helpful, like the “pod” idea outside and can imagine these being very popular during the summer, great idea. Food was ok, tables and floors felt a bit sticky but then most pubs do! Overall it was OK.

Visited the plough for a meal out last night, 6 staff visibly on duty, only 1 grafting a pretty androgynous blonde..stood at the bar for over 5 mins waiting to see if a table was available ...ignored by all ... Walked out ,went up the road to Trefnant ,had a lovely meal ...if you want great food and service with a smile ...visit Trefnant.

The staff are fantastic we had the best Sunday lunch out EVER. All staff from initially going in to the bar to eating in the restaurant. Cannot thank them enough. Will definitely be going back xxx

I have been going to the Plough for over 20 years and have always had decent food and good service. I went as part of a work social event. The service was diligent as ever, but the food was rather disappointing, and not what I usually expect from the Plough. We had some rather strange goats cheese and beetroot balls for a starter and they were very unappetising. I will eat almost anything, but even I could not eat that. I had the chicken meal, which was nice but I felt the mashed potato may have been from a packet. It had a strange taste. However, the staff were lovely and attentive. The place was really quiet for a Friday night, which is a shame. I will give them another go though, as I feel this might have been a one off.

My son ster and I visited the plough on sunday for the roast dinner we d been before but this was our first roast .even though it was busy we were seated and served quickly.we both had the beef with a side of cheesy mash and onion rings..it was really tasty with plenty of beef and veg.our servers were a tall blonde with her hair in a pony tail and a man with dark hair and a beard.they were friendly and helpful.a great experience

As usual great Sunday lunch , 3 meats for me , turkey for the good lady , great service from Ella , our go to place when eating out on a Sunday . Thanks a lot Dave and Lisa

Came here after work for a meal with colleagues on Tuesday, 15th August. We were a group of 7 adults, a toddler and a new born baby. We arrived early for our 630pm booking. It was only 6pm but the place was packed. Luckily we had booked. There was a lovely atmosphere and all staff were friendly. We were sat in a lovely cove by the window. Food order places and it arrived in a reasonable time. There was a variety of food ordered from steaks, fish and chips, chicken skewers and risotto. Everyone enjoyed the food and it arrived hot and fresh. We skipped dessert as we were all full and trying to be good!! But they sounded nice and were reasonably priced. I recommend booking a table as it’s a popular place.

First time stopping here after passing many times before. A great find. Excellent food excellent staff, dog friendly plenty of parking. A buzzing place to stop with inside and outside eating. We had the pies, steak and mushroom and I had the peppered one, best pie ever, a meal in itself. Well done to all making this place what it is is, a little gem.

The perfect end to our holiday. The best food in amazing surroundings with the friendliest of staff. Thank you so much especially the lovely lady who served us just brilliant!

Having visiting the Tweed mill we popped in for drink. Pint of shandy Half of shandy £9.50 Should of ask for a receipt

My regular for a beer, it's a busy place but with excellent staff. Occasionally pop in for lunch or evening meal.. Never disappointed. Dog friendly as well, not only that dogs are actually welcomed.

The food was absolutely amazing but was so disappointed with the staff.. they were so rude and everything seemed like to much trouble. Ruined the whole experience sadly.

Have been coming here for 10 years,birthdays,anniversaries and just with friends.In all that time the menu has hardly changed,the last few years the quality has really gone down,we have friends who have been there and said the same.

Food was lovely; four different mains. Lacking or more to the point non existent customer service (other than to take orders and deliver food). Thank you to the chefs. Some staff training desperately required

Oh dear, dinner with my brother who I've not seen in ages. Nice staff, awful meal. I hate leaving bad reviews, but you need to do something. Undercooked and the dregs of the frier. £36 for two (poor) mains and two drinks. :-(
