The Plough Inn in Wyre Forest

Booked a table for myself & my partner, drove for 45 minutes to get there. Upon arrival the foh of host wasn't very professional. Pulled a face saying it's cash only, which was fine!! Told to go yo the bar & say what we wanted, yet again not a problem. Once finally served, was told there was no fillet or sirloin steak after we paid for the upgrades. Made our order of t bone steak with the waiter. Then too be told they had ran out. Lack of communication from the kitchen. So had too change our order too find out that what we ordered wasn't available aswell. Not a very good experience. I work in hospitality myself so I know how things work. Will not be going back

Appreciate can't always be good but we went Good Friday 14.95 for 3 course which includes carvery and main menu. Service was a little slow but that was our fault has we hadn't gone to order our meals at the bar. Food was really lovely considering the cost of food I think they are doing well.

Poor evening. Taking our order was very slow and appeared to be only done by 1 person using a tablet. This was a miserable older woman with long grey hair who seriously lacks people skills! Poor 1st contact! Get her on some training on how to speak and smile to customers it would make a big difference! You could only have a set 3 course meal which menu which had been elevated by nearly £3.00 in price. This menu is not inclusive for the elderly or people with medical conditions who would struggle with this quantity! Very evident the owners have just got £ signs in their eyes and not the needs of their the customers. There were no nice puddings, just cake and ice cream! Again normally there would be a better choice. Disappointing and wouldn’t recomend!

Booked on line in the week for Fri 18th.April. Been many times and enjoyed it. Booked to also take my family of 4. Now found out it a 25% increase for this day!. What! More covers, maybe a few more staff but..... 25%????? Unreal and not justified. Disappointed. Money is not the problem, just the principle. We went the day after mother's day and hardly anybody in. Same price and quality. So where is the balance. Called " taking advantage". Will I go again....... Yes. But it's the principle. Am I wrong.

The worst Mother’s Day meal and the most awful service. We had a table booked and upon arrival no one knew what was going on. My mom and my sister arrived first to be told to go and sit upstairs and then right?? No one explained the menu, ordering process or how anything worked. Then I turned up after with my husband, yet again to not be told anything. This ‘restaurant’ doesn’t accept card payments either, which we didn’t know so my sister was told my someone from behind the bar to draw money out down the road from the shop. We later found out there was a cash machine inside the actually restaurant! I had to go to the bar to ask how it all worked which is when I found out that it was a fixed menu for £28, no problem. So again, I asked how do we order do we get table service or order here? Baring in mind we had our meal at 6pm so the restaurant was not even busy so the bad service cannot be blamed on that. The most unorganised experience, we then lined up for our carvery and sat down to eat our meal. The dinner was very tasteless and I would not recommend it at all. My sister unfortunately choked on her beef which was really scary, luckily enough she was ok. There was a lump of fat in the chewy beef which she didn’t know about. No staff around yet again, so I went downstairs to speak to management after she was sorted to be told they were not there and I could speak to a deputy manager. I told her my sister just choked and she apologised, asked if we wanted a new meal putting out and I said no (understandably). I said I wanted this escalated and she promised me the manger Mark would get in touch when he’s back off holiday. My mom also told me she nearly chocked at this point so as you can imagine I was very angry about the whole situation. I told the deputy manager that no one explained anything to us and she also apologised and said that was wrong. No one came over to see how my sister was which is appalling. The girl from behind the bar gave me the managers details of who I emailed straight away on Sunday night (Mother’s Day) later on that week I called the restaurant to speak to him and nothing, apparently he was on holiday. So I called yet again last week, spoke to the deputy manager who was there on Mother’s Day who told me she didn’t receive my email.. so yet again, I told her I would email again and to stay on the phone while I did that. Incredibly enough she received my second email! She told me she would print this out and management would contact me but I have had nothing. So 3 emails down, 2 calls and 1 website query and I am still no where with a resolution. I hate leaving bad reviews but this really was an awful experience, and the plough we have been told by a lot of people that it’s a really good place but our experience was very different. Awful service. Tasteless carvery, no help at all and no communication. I am so angry with this place!!

Stunning place. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Generous portions and value for money. We had the butter chicken starter it was beautiful. The carvery was delicious too and they defined don't skimp on the meat it was plentifull. The carrot cake and toffee icecream I had for desert went down a treat too.The staff where polite. Will definitely be returning can't wait to try other things on the menu.

This place is amazing value on a week night for three courses £12 and it's cooked to a turn . Whether you have carvery or set meal .

The price has gone as dramatically as the quality has dropped. Everytime we've been here, up to our last visit, had been brilliant. Excellent food that lived up to the billing of the best carvery in the country. However, something has changed. I was surprised to see that they changed to cash only but didn't give it too much thought, but then when they told me it was £25 per carvery I nearly fell over. But I told myself, this is a really good carvery so it's probably worth it. However, to say we were disappointed with the food was an understatement. The beef was tough and almost inedible and the vegetables had no flavor. The cauliflower cheese didn't have any cheese flavor at all. The red cabbage was good, but that's about the only good thing I can say. The recent reviews, the fact that the restaurant was dead compared to our previous visits tells its own story.

10 of us went yesterday for a meal . Waited ages for someone to take our order. Finally got sorted. When we went up for the Carvery there was some confusion over the Sage and Onion Stuffing. 1 of the chefs said it contained Chicken and Bacon another 1 said it did'nt. My Daughter is a vegetarian and I cannot eat Chicken. I left a cake and flowers to be brought out for a Family member. Went to ask a member of staff for it who was not very nice how I got spoke to. Staff looked really miserable . We all have our off day's .

We were first in and paid for 3 for £12.00. Having bren before we knew what wanted so didnt look at the menu. On the previus visit we had swapped a starter for a hot drink and it came to the table before we went up for the carvery and then we ended our meal with a cold dessert. We had intended to do the same, however we were told, twice hot drinks came after the dessert. As first in the queue we expected that none of the joints would have been carved, but i was served Turkey from an already started nub end. All the vegetables are served al dente, which means undercooked, and to top it all, my partner had the red velvet cake, which he said was hard and stale. As we both had ice cream we didnt want our paid for hot drinks, were told we couldnt have a refund, but we could have a starter. Very disappointing, a huge change in just two months. My partner had to pay by card because he doesnt carry much cash and refused to cross the road to use the grocery store cash machine. We were thrilled with our first visit on Valentines Day, but very disappointed on 9th April. Wont be going again as there are places that offer tje same things, cheaper, and dont dictate to their customers when they can have the drinks they have paid for. Offer should really say 2 courses for £12.00 and a free tea or coffee at the end of the meal, at least then we would have had a choice and not left feeling like we had been conned.

Booked for Mother's Day, looking forward to £12 (or thereabouts considering the date) for 3 course meal from usual menu. Told on arrival we needed to pay up front, carvery only. Disappointing but ok. Son came back from paying, shocked, saying 2 meals and 2 cokes came to over £60. I asked service staff what we had paid for. Told carvery, and pudding was included. I said "ok, we don't want puddings", but was told that was the deal, but if preferred we could take our puddings home, and "the boxes are free". I nearly choked on my very expensive carrot. The pub was very busy, heard many complaining about the cost. Children £18 each. Nothing mentioned at all on their website, nor were we told of this when booking. To add to the not so joyful experience, our table was surrounded by people throughout who were queueing for the buffet.

Booked for mother's day weeks ago for 10 people, asked about vegan options and was given information about the carvery and told we could also order from their separate menu on the day. Heard good things about their well priced 3 course meal during the weekdays so was shocked to be told that the carvery today was £28 with a pudding. No vegan options for a pudding but we were told they didn't have options for a standalone carvery and they were not offering their separate menu at all. We complained and managed to have a reduced rate (they begrudgingly agreed £5 off after stating that the puddings were actually considered 'free') for those of us that couldn't have anything. We were ultimately told it was our choice if we wanted to continue with our booking, as if we could take 10 people anywhere else on mother's day at that short notice! Our bill before amendments was £99 for three carveries, 2 soft drinks and 1 glass of wine, which is extortionate. 2 of our party also received huge lumps of fat instead of actual lamb meat and we had to go and ask for a replacement. For the price the carvery was nothing special at all and definitely not somewhere I'd book again in a hurry for a special occasion

What a fantastic pub. Food was absolutely on point and at £12 for 3 courses, you can not go wrong. We will definitely be back

Lovely dog friendly pub. Real ales. Friendly and attentive staff. Although we didn't eat the restaurant was packed.

Went here as a friend said they do a great carvery and they weren't wrong food was fantastic they had a offer on and was very happy with the service they had a log burner going pub was warm and will be looking forward to going again.

Went there with 4 others today 15/3/25 Had 3 course meals for £15 Absolutely superb value in a really nice pub. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be returning..

Very nice place to dine in. Loved the decor and ambience. Food was great as well with lovely service.

I never complain at all.. but on this occasion I will due to the lack of In consideration. as I couldn’t eat my food due to the burger being raw inside, but very well done on the outside so it wasn’t noticeable until I bit into it. And all they had to say about it Was that they’ve had three chefs take a look at it and they all agree that it was cooked. Which was a load of rubbish and they wasn’t interested in doing anything for it and I ended up eating half of pizza of a child’s meal that my niece had left over due to being still hungry. now I understand why you have to pay before you eat it’s because they won’t give refunds, But like she said, they’re that busy and they don’t really care whether you come back or don’t.

Food as good or better than on previous visits over many years. However lack of ability to order at the table and having to go to the bar for drinks certainly reduced the amount we drank and therefore the house take. Clearing the table between courses was also suboptimal.

Went here with are best friends an absolutely lovely meal reasonably priced the staff were very good we were served very quickly will definitely be going again soon

We went on a Sunday afternoon for my son's birthday meal, our first visit. Massively busy to the extent it felt a bit like a canteen; our table was right next to the carvery, so we had people queuing right next to us. Whilst we were letting our main course go down before dessert, we were then asked if we'd mind moving tables so that they could accommodate a large party. Also, only a small bar area, whilst waiting for our table, I went to get a drink, but they wanted a table number before they'd serve me. An expensive £25 for two courses; 6 people, 1 drink each (4 cokes, 1 orange juice and 1 pint of lager), came to £173. Average food, too.

What a great lunch! The staff fitted us in as walk ins, although they were very busy. They looked after us brilliantly and what a bargain! £12 for 3 courses or £10 for 2 courses. Some people on the next table were moaning about the 2-course deal. Really? The whole thing was less than starters at some pubs round here. Great choice and the carvery was lovely. The desserts were yum - though I only had ice cream because I was so full. If you are too full for anything, they now do a takeaway dessert option too.

Visited the Plough Inn cleobury Mortimer after a stay in Bewdley. Was recommended by my sister who said the food was lovely and excellent value. It actually bought back child hood memories as I used to visit the plough hen I used to go camping with Warley Boxing Club in the late 70's. Have to say I had the 3 course menu with a carvery and the other half had the steak. The starters were superb, mushrooms on toast and pate. carvery was one of the best I've had with so much choice. Desserts were lovely with lots of choice. 3 course dinner for £12 quid what incredible value. It's cheaper than Witherspoon's with food that you can actually eat and enjoy. Will definitely visit again with the whole family. Staff were polite and the pub very clean.

Staff members were polite. Unfortunately this was the only positive from our visit. £50 for two adult carveries is extortionate but we were okay paying it if the food was up to the same standard. We weren't even asked what meat we wanted it was just slapped on a plate and it was so tough. The vegetables tasted awful, we have had better meals at so many other local carveries for a fraction of the price. I really hate to complain, but for the same price you could get a meal at the Ivy in Birmingham or somewhere similar. I don't know whether it was a one off but when you walk in they have their bad reviews framed by the door so maybe not, either way we won't be returning.

This was our first visit and we were extremely impressed. When advertising 3 courses for £12, I was sure it would be a very average meal but it well exceeded my expectations. I had the mushrooms on toast (the sauce was lovely), steak and cheesecake with ice cream for dessert (ice cream was as a good as a gelato). Will definitely return, amazing value for money…..can’t wait to try the carvery next 🫶🏻

We ordered the 3 course meal for £12 ,excellent value for money ,nice pub ,will definitely eat there again when we are in the area

On arrival it looked busy as a que had formed to be seated. We found ourselves by the log burner and the entrance, the burner had obviously been lit earlier and only one log remained a liight. It just got colder over the two hours we stayed. The food was OK, too much oil on the food from the fryers, the burger almost dripped when picked up,the onion rings were soaking in oil. It seems they were short staffed, bar staff n serving staff, no pot washer so waiting staff had to do the plates after service.. The house rosie wine was almost the same price as a two course meal, guess they make there money on the drinks. For a special valentines day event, I would have expected more. I was glad to gey into the car to get warm.. Poor as every where you looked there was logs in baskets n tonne sack atleast 5 full of dry logs. Last thing I'd expected wad to be do cold I ate my food woth a hat on..

Booked this restaurant for our sons birthday it was absolutely perfect ! the bar staff and restaurant staff were amazing nothing was too much trouble. The homemade starters and mains were hot and delicious and finish off the sweets were homemade and also delicious. To sum up value for money at £12 per head for a three course meal was a pleasant surprise and the bar drinks were priced the same as any other local Pub. Thank you team Plough for a lovely evening out with our family.

Far to expensive on Sundays Monday-•Saturday less than half price wouldn’t even give me tin foil as my wife wanted to bring some of her meat home

Been for a three coarse carvery today fri food excellent staff great service nice and warm cant fault it

We've been going to the Plough as a large family for well over ten years. But what has happened??? We walked in today for Sunday lunch, booked for 4 pm eight people, the place was freezing, we asked for two heaters to be put on by our table. There was the tiniest piece of fatty beef left, once the fat was off it there was hardly any there, no gammon, no lamb, few cabbage leaves in water, no creamy potatoes left, everything virtually gone. No ice cream, very very limited pudding choice, nothing with chocolate. It was just miserable. Staff couldn't be bothered, yes we booked for 4 pm, but £25 (price has gone up) has the same value at 12 noon, 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm, get what I mean? And that is before the drinks. So sad to see this demise, we won't be going again.

Frankie was unbelievable made our night unbelievable experience made the the waitress carren was also unbelievable 👏 Wendy made the evening also

Make sure you choose your dessert before they run out & you're left with ice-cream. Also, be aware that the carvery costs more than twice the price on Sundays.

Very overpriced veg dried up and i would hardly call a muffin a dessert very disappointed dinner went cold half way through the meal

The food is excellent and well priced,staff are lovely too

We are regulars here, and we've ALWAYS been happy with our meals, can't beat the price either. The food is very good, the value is amazing!!! Cute little location too, delightfully tacky interior. Authentic experience. We bring friends and they've always enjoyed it too.

Table for four. Completely brilliant. Proffesional in every way. Could not do enough for us. Food exemplary. You expect to get what you pay for and we had it in bucketloads....and as for the Raspberry..reminds me of holidays in south of France.... but I digress. Keep up the good work and we shall be back soon. Many thanks.

Would have given four but had a few things that didn't make me happy. First of all we were asked to pay cash and get cash out of free machine on site. We didn't have a card on us just our contactless on our phones. For £18 per child (mine were 7 & 11) not to have a pudding was a bit of a rip off. They were allowed one scoop of ice-cream. I protested and was told they could have a waffle or I could pay £2 extra per child to upgrade. Now considering the children eat a very small amount of main this was in my opinion greedy and not warranted. My 7 year old daughter also stood at the bar for ages lz all she wanted was a glass of water and she got ignored by the staff. I observed them look at her multiple times before asking her if she was ok and they kept into action! It's put me off coming again which is a shame as the food was lovely.

Had Sunday Carvery. Good 12-4pm. Two courses £25. Good choices of meat and vegetables. Dessert small cake/Brownie + ice cream. Pub takes cash only although free cash point in the pub. Dogs allowed in bar. Good place to go after walking in Wye Forrest.

Great food in a really nice setting will definitely visit again

Amazing food, very tasty and freshly cooked. Fantastic value for price too! Thank you!

Great place, very beautiful pub and the food what can I say.. absolutely lovely jubley.

Eaten here many times and excellent value for money. Love their carvery and wide variety of veggies. Their battered cod is not always good as it depends on the freshness of the batter/fish and who's cooking on the day.

My husband took me for lunch as it was my birthday. It was extremely loud and cramped. We had a carvery. The beef was ok. The potatoes were from frozen.In fact the best part was probably the Yorkshire pudding. The gravy was extremely salty . The worst part was the pudding. I went for the sponge pudding with custard which they served cold. I should at least have been given the option of having it heated. The cream offered looked like long life single cream. The poor ingredients and inflated price leads me to say we will not be returning.

Lovely food reasonably priced drinks bit expensive but evens out

Food may be cheap but they certainly get it back on the beer. Pint of IPA £6.50...., some of the staff are like zombies and they don't take card payments. Won't be rushing back

Food OK, beer extortionate IPA £6.50 a pint. Staff like zombies , don't take debit cards. Won't be returning

I wouldn’t bother! The worst carvery I have ever had, and the service was not much better! 5 very disappointed people today.

We had lunch in this very busy pub …the table was booked for 26 people but the actual table was a bit short but the staff moved tables and sorted us no problem. The queue for the carvery was always long but the food was topped up fresh nothing was short and all hot and tasty ,the beef was beautiful and a huge portion no skimping on a portion here the yorkies were huge and crispy and I’ve never had such a nice pigs in blanket proper big sausage . The choice of veg was really good all topped up and lots of tasty hot gravy ,condiments were good too a proper hot horseradish that makes your nose run …can’t beat it . Drinks were a bit of a let down ..no Diet Coke and coke a bit flat ..long wait at the bar but the place is sooo busy . Deserts were the only let down …..I had a trifle with a blob of icecream which was good but the choices were a bit odd surly a few cheesecakes or tart type puddings apple pie or a crumble a British favourite on a Sunday ,again you had to queue by the steps to the bar which was a bit awkward. The staff were working their socks off and most were pleasant one or two a bit miserable..but it’s hard when it’s busy I know I’m a chef by trade so can appreciate what they are doing . Would eat here again it’s a gem of a carvery well done all

Just returned from my annual lunch with my friend. We chose this restaurant simply as I have a wonderful memory of visiting here 20 years ago. With Christmas and dry weather a perfect setting to travel for a wonderful afternoon. It was oh so well worth it! My memory didn’t change it was just how I remembered. The idyllic setting country pub, roaring fires and the Christmas decs simply set the scene before even sitting down, We were met by very helpful and pleasant staff and we chose the 3 course lunch for 15.99! We had our starters of delicious pate with the most Devine chutney as the most tasty compliment! We chose the carvery…. Just as I remembered ….. simply the best carvery you will ever have ….. simply delicious. Homemade veg the mash to die for. Plenty of choice and cooked superbly The chef who I believe is the owner was so helpful and greeted us warmly (very personal) and made the dining extra special. After a period of time we had enough room for desert of toffee cheesecake, my friend chose homemade tiramisu! We waddled out , but thank you so much for starting our Christmas but also it was our first one without our dear friend who we lost in the summer. So we were bit emotional but everything about today made us feel that she was with us. Thank you again I will definitely be back (it will be shorter than 20 years)!!!!

Absolutely fabulous big pub in beautiful country settings. Ticks all the boxes, lovely timeless, rustic feel to the place, with wooden beams, log burners and cosy furnishings, no chain pub rubbish. The food is unbelievable, well prepared and presented by very friendly staff and Incredible value for money. A 3 course meal is ONLY about £15 each. A truly outstanding pub, going the extra mile to keep you coming back. I will be going back as often as possible now I have discovered the place. I rarely give a full 5 stars on everything in a review, but the Plough earns it hands down! Amazing Christmas decorations up at the moment too, lovely old classic christmas feel while eating by one of the log burners!

Very busy but staff coped well and carvery was good. £13.50 for 3 course very reasonable. Cash only. Very well decorated for the season. Sweets were excellent. Very good out of season but right now they seem to have planned well for a busy time. Despite numbers, environment was still quiet for an enjoyable meal.

We have been here before and had high praise for the Plough. On this visit table booked for five at 7.00pm left at the bar as table not ready told would be a few minutes. Taken to a table at 7.35, there were no menus on the table. No one came to the table unit 8.00pm to take our order, and had to get the menus . Starters arrived at 8.25pm. Food service finishes at 9.00. Went to have the carvery. No choice of food , no turkey, plates were cold, food not hot. The meat was tough. The deserts were none existing, no choice , ice cream, or chocolate cake. I'm totally disappointed with this visit and will not be going again. You have lost five customers and friends of ours who asked how our visit was.

Stumbled upon this place on our trip up from Kent, atmosphere was amazing for a Tuesday, food was unreal value £15 for 3 courses, and one of the nicest French onion soups I’ve had - if I was local I’d definitely be coming again

A lovely day. Due to the storm and a powercut our original restaurant couldn’t facilitate us today. We phoned the team at The Plough Inn and fortunately they could accommodate us. The carvery was absolutely delicious as were the desserts. We couldn’t be more thankful to the friendly team!

This is an over priced disappointing experience for me £5.50 for a pint of weak Fosters larger. How can that be right No wonder people drink at home It's cash only I really need to tell the owners to get real

Fantastic food at a great price. My only criticism is that it was very busy when we arrived at 2pm and the queue for the food was long and slow, also they promoted cash only when they do accept card if you ask. We will be going back but maybe book for 3pm on a Sunday rather than 2pm. I would recommend.

Went with family 3 course . Starter was not available that i wanted i was told to try the meatballs . Thay was served frozen so the lady brought me more frozen. After it took a hour to be approached before hand i then refused to eat . I was offered by the manager to come back next day for free roast. Table was booked 3pm so we arrived to find had to wait 30 minutes. To find bar que was around the pub 1 serving. staff moaning how busy and not enough help!! Need new owner he just sits at the bar on the pop!!!

As usual, a great meal out with friends. Bargain price, quick service and nice food. Pudding is 5⭐️ yum!

Great food 3 course meal 12 pounds brilliant value for money but it is cash only there is a free cash machine inside if you only have a card

Just been to The Plough Inn for the first time, and it will not be the last. Food was lovely from the starter through to the carvery and finishing with a lovely dessert. the restaurant was decorated ready for Christmas and really had a lovely atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and attentive and I would recommend this restaurant for a meal.

Visited 7th Nov 24. We now have this as our first choice dining place whether midday or early evening. So popular that, to be sure of a table, YOU NEED TO BOOK. The service and food quality is excellent and at £12.00 for 3 courses it is exceptional value. The menu choice is very good in the £12 deal and for a very reasonable additional charge the VERY HUNGRY visitor can upgrade their steak (32oz Rump. 28oz T-Bone. 28oz Combat). Good car parking. Lovely location. The place has already been beautifully dressed for Christmas and looks absolutely stunning as you approach from the car. Starters-nice choice available. Mains-excellent choice available. Desserts-if you get this far after all the food, there is a dessert bar with a choice of desserts/ice cream. Been quite a few times and never disappointed even though we have high expectations. SUGGESTION: Lovely fires warming the place but it can be a bit hot sat by the fire.

Amazing value,nice food lovely atmosphere would highly recommend book a table as really busy and popular 😀 👍

Great carvery plenty of meat friendly staff

Favourite place for a carvery Excellent value for money

The carvery food was only slightly warm and not very hot which was very disappointing

Payment was confusing (only cash or Apple Pay. The menu was totally different to the website menu ( we were informed that the website was out of date) and the cheaper website meals were not available. My popcorn chicken starter was dry and tough. My main course carvery the beef was tough and my wife’s gammon was also tough and 75% was taken home for the dogs. The staff were excellent with quick service. The best bit was the desert. But we will not be going again.

Never a bad meal the Plough and a great atmosphere 👌

The carvery was very good yet again.

Never again! I've only eaten here a couple of times, never again. 1. My partner ordered the fish& chips, I noticed no wedge of lemon to squeeze over the fish, I said they've forgotten, my partner said its not a problem ! I said to my partner where's your Tartar sauce? They've forgotten that aswell. I called over a member of staff and said could we have a small pot of Tartar please! His reply you pay at the bar it's 50p, I said your joking No! I'm not, my partner said 50p? Forget it! Tartar sauce in any restaurant should come with a meal, are you going to charge for S&P next? Disgusting. 2. My partner went for his dessert 20 minutes he was in the queue, more staff needed when your busy I think . I couldn't manage my dessert, my partner said no problem theirs a sign round there saying if your full you can take it home, but! Didn't realise you were charged 50p for a container to take it home ,Disgusting! I put it in a servette. 3. I saw a young girl come from the kitchen with that much make up on I thought she was going out for the night, long hair in platts carring plates, her hair was resting on the top plate ,twice she did this I'm glad i didn't have the carvery, all hair in kitchen staff should be tide back off your face . 4. And £28 for a bottle of house wine! But! Cheep food extortionate alcohol prices!

What an amazing place. Not only is the food fantastic, hot and full of flavour, but the awesome staff always go the extra mile to accommodate your needs, and make sure you have a great experience. First class service, well done!

Absolutely love it here, food is exceptional value for money, portion size is great and most of the staff are lovely.

After booking a table for 14.00, a party of 10, we were told the table would be ready at about 14.20, with nowhere to sit we stood by the bar as people were trying to get past with drinks and their food as some tables were the other side of the building. We were eventually shown to our table ar 15.00. Then came the meal, as we walked to the carvery for our meal we were treated with a queue stretching about 50 yards, after standing there for 25 minutes and moving 4 foot we had had enough, we left the queue and asked for a refund, no one asked what the problem was, no apology offered just our money returned. The place is well, overbooked, only accept cash, zero atmosphere and lacking in any form of organisation or management. We will never return to the Plough and would not recommend it.

Horrendous Sunday! Booked a table, got there on time, only to be told we would have to wait. The place was massively overbooked and understaffed. Cash only for food and drink and after waiting nearly 45 mins to be seated, we then queued for 40 mins for the carvery - and barely moved. Many people getting refunds and walking out, as we had to do as the children were bored, overwhelmed with the noise and starving! Absolute shambles and a real shame as this used to be an amazing place to go.

Our second time attending. My only moan as such was our seating, five onto a table of 4 ain't brilliant. We were late booking and it also gets busy if a weekend though. Many thanks and will see you next time we're in Cleobury.

Excellent value meal as always. Service scores reduced as felt aggrieved when told had to go to cash machine to pay cash as they do not take card, when I later saw a customer paying by card. I arrange my finances using a credit card for entertainment and I was forced to have used a debit payment, please stop this practice. One or other bit not for some.

The food is very good. The carvery is the best I've had BUT the staff don't seem to know what they're doing, can be quite rude and they don't smile. Our table was across from the bar, where we had to listen to the barmaid complaining all evening how she didn't want to be there and how much she disliked it. You have to wait for someone to be free before you can get served at the dessert counter, we gave up waiting.

Lovely place to eat, three courses for £12 and really nice. Drinks are on the expensive side but a really nice place to dine

Had a meal there again last Saturday excellent as always.

Well worth the wait, we were in the area to meet family, looked at this place on internet as the pub around the corner had no chef this weekend. The carvery here was delicious and was very popular and it was perfect, the desert was out of this world, next time we're in the area we'll be here again although on a Sunday we'll not do 13:00 again we'll wait until the rush is over!😋

For some reason they want cash now and when I didnt have any with me I was directed to the cash machine in the bar. When I insisted on paying with my card as that macine would charge me the barkeeper became very sulky and when my partner took back the flat coke she'd been given it was replaced by another from a plastic bottle which was also flat.

My daughter and I were staying at a local caravan park. We'd been advised to try The Plough. We hadn't booked as it was a Tuesday evening, we didn't realise that the place was booked out. The amazing staff managed to get us a table. The food, service, atmosphere, cleanliness, and friendliness was amazing. My only regret (and my 10 year daughter agreed) was that we waited to try The Plough on our last night rather than the first. Amazing place. We'll be back next time we're in the Midlands

Lovely staff, great food and your four legged friends are welcome. Can not wait to go back

Me and my nan came in for a nice dinner out together and we were served by the wonderful faith! she was absolutely lovely and is a credit to your restaurant, she was attentive, polite and overall a pleasure to have as our server. the food was lovely and the ribs were delicious! we will be back again, thank you!! 🤩

Stunning food! Excellent service! Thank you! First time visiting and it won’t be the last!!! Can’t wait to come again! Absolute bargain at £12 for 3 courses!

Had on order of fish and chips. The batter on the fish was thick and quite soft even though the menu said lightly battered. The fish underneath was full of bones and not very white. The chips were not very warm. In total it was an awful meal!!! The drinks were very expensive. I paid £4.20 for a lime and lemon which wasn't even a pint. When I questioned it I was told the lemonade was £3.50 and the lime was 70p. Definitely WONT be visiting again.

Firstly the plough are only accepting cash no cards fortunately there was a cash machine but it would have been nice to be told on the phone when we booked table. Ordered a coffee at the bar and after asking waitresses twice it finally arrived an hour later with no apologies and as it was only 6.30pm they weren’t exactly rushed off their feet! We both had carvery beef was tough, not enough choice of veg, roast potatoes weren’t cooked enough, no mashed potato! I appreciate it’s only £12 pp for 3 courses but I would prefer to pay extra and have really good food and choice. This establishment has gone downhill in my opinion we used to come here years ago and it was the best carvery ever with so much choice and excellent service. The staff that we had dealings with tonight were rude and definitely need training in customer service! I will not be returning anytime soon which is very sad as it was always a fabulous meal. There are cutting corners and really cutting corners I’m afraid to say the plough are the latter.

After reading some reviews I must have been in the wrong pub,friendly staff,great food and great value (3 courses for £12 quid) roll my next visit and yes it is CASH ONLY(cash machine by bar) no problem at all remember CASH IS KING,.,.,oh yea I thought i would post a picture of the men’s toilets 😂😂😂😂😂 (sorry I’d eaten the starter before I could take a picture)😂😂😂😂

Whilst the food is a really reasonable price its no more than average, no real taste to the shortbread for dessert. The service we had was terrible. Lots of people who paid after us got their order taken before us. The table next to us were eating dessert as we got our starter. The alcohol is expensive, 1 pint of neck oil was £6.50, over half the cost of the 3 course meal! The young lady serving desserts was miserable and kept turning away whilst talking so you couldn't hear her. An average overall experience.

Food choice is very good only disappointment is that they have changed their chips from triple cooked to now serving chips with skins on which is not to everyone's taste I maybe a minority on this but unfortunately am fussy with food but by and large main bulk of food is in good taste and staff are very welcoming and friendly

Absolutely shocking experience! Never ever again! They need new management & staff! As soon as we got there a grumpy and smirky looking young girl gave us menus that had seen better days! They were all creased! Only one person working behind the bar which they were very slow! Then to be told “cash only” very werid and crafty! We was then told after we had ordered that there wasn’t much left at the carvery so what was there was what’s left. Absolutely disgusting for 7.15pm! Puddings had no taste and the portioning of the lemon drizzle slice! Well… wasn’t even a slice! Absolutely appalling and of course definitely won’t be returning! Absolutely vile place

Firstly i want to be clear that I’ve always enjoyed eating here. Food is excellent, staff are friendly and the pub is very clean. Unfortunately when i ate here yesterday I ordered a gluten free starter (mushroom soup with gluten free bread), and they bought me out normal gluten bread. After i started eating it they bought out my gluten free starter. Nobody else at my table had ordered the mushroom soup so i had no way of knowing that this wasnt for me. The waitress was very apologetic but obviously that doesn’t help when you have a food allergy. Luckily my allergy isnt fatal or this could have been alot worse. I couldn’t eat all my main course or a dessert because my stomach had already started hurting and bloating up. Now 24 hours later my stomach has bloated to 4 times its normal size and is in terrible pain. Most of body is now covered in blisters and eczema like rashes which are excruciatingly itchy. These symptoms will last up to 2 weeks. I just want the pub to be aware of this so it doesn’t happen again and maybe train the staff about the severity of food allergies, also just to warn people with allergies to double check that the staff have bought you the right order. I have added afew photos of what this has done to my skin just to show people who are unaware of food allergies how severe they can be

1st class in everyday. Drinks a little pricie, but everything else excellent.

We visited at 530pm yesterday 15th August, family of 10 with visitors from Australia. We all had the meal deal 3 courses for £12, absolutely fantastic and quality food. All served together which was a bonus. Only negative is the price of the drinks £8 for a glass of Wine and £6 for a beer. If only it was a pound cheaper we would of stayed for more drinks. Guess the money is made back on the drinks, for the reasonable price food. That said we will recommend and visit again. The staff are friendly and polite.

The Plough is a lovely country pub/restaurant. Very popular and busy. I was surprised to find it nearly full to capacity on a Tuesday evening. The food here is very reasonably priced (probably explains the busyness). All the meals for our party of four were excellent! The staff are friendly and helpful and very busy! Drinks at the plough are expensive though. Both soft drinks and alcoholic - are priced much higher than the local average.

Well what can I say about the place - when I heard it was £12 for three courses I was a little skeptical. I always judge my experience on the question asked would you go again and I'm pleased to answer a big fat yes food good service fine a nice conversational buzz about the place and needles to say good value for money. Animal friendly also with a tidy little beer garden, would recommend... Mark

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! cannot beat the quality nor the quantity of food especially for the price, this place is 45mins to 1hr depending on traffic from where we live but we don't care we now visit atleast 2/3 times a month, we have eaten at alot of restaurants some quite high end an we eat out regular but I'd choose this place over them everytime

Absolutely spectacular food for a fantastic price. Staff were lovely and service was pretty quick. Great value, great food, chill location. Deffo recommend

A very enjoyable meal, staff very efficient

Wow wow what value for money 3 course meal for £12 or add another £8 extra to have steak absolutely little gem off a place food was perfect will be going there monthly
