The Plough Inn Restaurant in Herefordshire, County of

This was a find! Friendly staff, fantastic food and great beer what more could you ask for? Oh that’s right…..dog friendly too. I’d definitely use this place again if I was around this area. Top marks all round 👍👍

Rustic setting, excellent food and the portions were huge!. Lovely meal whilst on holiday in the area. Would highly recommend

The chef here really knows what he's doing. Lunch today was just gorgeous! Every course was delicious and cooked to perfection. We all agreed that the chips were the best we've ever tasted (we're quite fussy about our chips and avoid anywhere that doesn't serve home-made) so that was impressive. A lovely choice of dishes on the main menu and specials board. Can't wait to return when we're back in the area. Well done The Plough!

For a pub next to the wye valley brewery this could be a great opportunity for business however, the Barman was put out on our arrival just like he couldn’t be bothered to serve us . The beer was nice but the chips were soggy and re- heated I won’t be visiting again. This was meant to be a nice walk and a drink at the end but our day has been ruined by this customer service and poor food

We were new to the area and were looking for somewhere for dinner. This pub was recommended by many people on trip advisor and it did not disappoint. It ticked the boxes for our party on all accounts. The menu was varied, the portions were very generous and everyone said the food was delicious. The service was excellent. We did not have to wait long for our food and all ten of us were served at the same time. They catered well for our special diets (vegetarian and gluten free) and access was good for one of our party who has impaired mobility. We were extremely happy with our evening out. It was good value for money and provided a warm and friendly atmosphere. If we are ever in the area again we will revisit this pub.

Booked with ease for Sunday lunch. There was a wide ranging a la carte menu plus specials but decided to have the carvery. Delicious roast beef , pork and turkey in offer with all the trimmings. Gravy was amazing too. Cheesecake for dessert which was delicious. Staff very friendly and attentive. Lovely roaring open fire. Will definitely visit again.

Booked for Sunday lunch & were both very impressed with the Carvery. Opted for beef & yorkshire pudding plus turkey which were all cooked to perfection. A good selection of vegetables, plus roast & new potatoes were available - again all beautifully cooked. Only just had room for dessert (Banofee pie & choc. & vanilla bread & butter pudding which were delicious. Many thanks, we will certainly be returning soon

Whilst staying in West Lodge,Air B n B in nearby Bromyard,we booked to eat at The Plough,Stoke Lacy last Friday evening. On arrival we were warmly greeted and shown through to our reserved table. I felt compelled to write a review to send our compliments regarding the meals we all had.Every single Starter and Main Course chosen by our party was of the highest quality and presented beautifully. The Battered Black Pudding,served with a Poached Egg,chosen by myself I thought was just a 'taste sensation',and my Main Course,the Chicken Breast stuffed with soft Cheese and Bacon,served in a most delicious creamy Sauce,again was just an amazingly tasty creation. All of our party commented just how delicious the entire meal was,and after speaking to the Chef I felt obliged to write a praiseworthy review on here. To anyone local or visiting the area I cannot recommend highly enough this friendly eatery that we were so lucky to find.Our thanks again to all at The Plough,please give yourselves a pat-on-the-back for your Service and Quality of food.We will return if we are ever in the area again.

We visited for an anniversary dinner, attracted by what looked like a more adventurous menu than normal for pubs in the area. Let’s give the place its due: service was professional, the vegetables were beautifully cooked and our drinks were really delicious. But let’s cut to the chase: portion size was out of control. Our first mistake was ordering the plough platter as a starter - it would have served as a main meal for two. Tasty enough, but very deep-fried and filling. Our mains, again, were acceptably flavoured but a little over cooked and again mahoosive…. And flooded with sauce! The place was rather characterless too - I think I’m being a little harsh giving it 2 stars rather than 3, but the occasion was special, expectations were high - and it all fell a bit flat. Halving the portion sizes would be a good move and make the business more profitable - it deserves to thrive and I hope it does!

What an awesome place, a nice cosy place and the staff were very friendly. We booked in for an evening meal and we were not disappointed, it was top notch. Every meal was cooked to perfection and the presentation, service and whole ambience was spot on. We would strongly recommend The Plough Inn and if in the area book a table and enjoy, first class and thank you

We booked for Sunday lunch Carvery meat was excellent i had beef and wife had the pork - roast potatoes also really good If i had a gripe they probably one member staff short - arriving at bar with no one to serve and then later had to wait to get a nother drink - they clearly busy which is good Reccomend this place as long as you not impatient like me !

Visited on a Thursday evening and were treated to absolutely fantastic service along with a great meal. The food was a good value, ready quickly and brought to our table by a young waitress who took our needs into consideration and was kind and polite through the evening. Great experience would visit again!

First time we've been away in a long time, so booked a lovely cottage in Little cowarne just to get away from everything. Didn't arrive until late afternoon so didn't feel like cooking. We had a quick Google of dog friendly local pubs and The Plough popped up, so glad it did! Service and food was excellent. We both polished our meals off. Would definitely recommend.

We went here for a Christmas meal and it was really nice. The meal was well presented and well cooked. The staff were friendly, look forward to going back there in December again.

Always a lovely meal, served in the restaurants, takeaways during covid lockdowns and in attendance for events and get togethers in the function room. Good country pub food served right :-)

Lovely pub and fabulous freshly cooked food and plenty of it. An excellent meal was had by all. Will definitely come again when next in the area.

Went here for a nice evening meal. Used the website contact form to ask about dogs and to book. Fast response, and it appears half of the pub is allowed dogs, other half not, making it good for those Who don’t want furry friends amongst them as well as dog owners. Was met on arrival by a very friendly lady. Decent menu choice, can recommend the garlic mushrooms as a starter. Most starters can be made into mains if you wish. Had steak for main and was cooked to perfection. Good portion size and well worth the money. All food is cooked fresh and you can tell, so don’t expect to be in and out in 20 mins but worth the wait. Local beer was nice, I assume it was from the brewery next door. Car park is small, but you can park on the brewery car park. If we were here longer would definitely come back again. Definitely book before you want to come to avoid disappointment.

We visited this place whilst on holiday a day what fantastic food. Couldn't fault it at all. Great food, pleasant staff and good wine choice. One of the best meals I've had in years.

We went to The Plough for our first meal out since lockdown in March. The Plough feels very safe and has a reassuring amount of Covid advice with sanitiser on entry, Phil taking names and phone numbers and cleaning tables after every guest. Really good to see Simon again as always we had a friendly welcome and the food was as good as it always has been. I recommend the Pulled Pork and Macaroni Cheese as a starter. Inspirational!

Excellent dinner with family, menu choice is extensive, everyone really pleased with their meals. Gets our vote every time, can highly recommend.

We came here again for a Christmas meal. The service was great, the staff were friendly and helpful. Am looking forward to going back again soon.

I have been many times to this pub and never had a bad meal. It is a family run pub, the owner doubling up as the chef , and a very good one and where ever possible will cater to your dietary The staff are pleasant and do a good job. The log fire gives it a lovely cosy feeling. The food is fresh and piping hot and very tasty. I am off there again tonight.

Great little find. Last minute decision to go out to eat, walked in and it was nice and busy which is always nice to see, lovely ambience. We hadn't reserved a table but the gentleman was more than happy to fit us in. Menu looked great all round, I had the lamb from the specials board which with the vegetables and potatoes, was absolute perfection. Looking forward to coming back.

We arrived at 7.30 on a Sunday evening to find a well presented attractive traditional pub with a log fire and quite a few local diners already there. The food is cooked fresh, there is a wait of up to 30 mins but its well worth it. We started with dipping bread and oils, v nice. The fried fish was huge, the chips were just right, I had poached salmon, porcini mushroom and tarragon with a delicious sauce. All served with extra veg, I liked the steamed leeks. A really good evening and good food. The young waitress worked really hard and was so nice, thank you.

They were busy and missed a welcoming greeting. But think he was just a bit quiet type. All the meals were good size portions. Looked lovely and Piping Hot. Service was good. But allow time as your food is made to order and not pinged in Microwaves. The Tomato basil soup was Okay added the butter salt and pepper and awesome. The mains Chicken and ham dauphinois potatoes was best meal I’ve had in a long time. My wife’s salmon salad was great. Both meals Faultless. Other customers meals looked fantastic as well.

There is nothing like going somewhere and paying good money to be treated like a nuisance by a barman who clearly does not like customers. For your baguette to be bread bought god knows how long ago - £6.25 for a stale baguette and tiny bit of tuna mayonnaise that you cannot chew and £1.75 for chips that are floppy and soggy....say no more. Seriously just not fair to take peoples money for something that just is not worth paying for!!!!

Booked this restaurant on recommendation from friends for Easter Sunday lunch with friends. The food did not disappoint and the meat was cooked perfectly. Topped it off with a Chocolate Fudge Sundae and was unable to eat another thing! Friendly and helpful staff. Only point I would make is that the website needs updating with regard to price of carvery lunches, as it was £2 more than stated.

Hi all, visited as a couple recently while on a short break, cold unfriendly welcome from the barman to us, but he made up for it when the LOCALS started to arrive!! THAT said food was very good but a little pricey, the waitress was very pleasant and helpfull. PLEASE SMILE ITS PART OF THE JOB.

Never have my family and myself walked into somewhere and be greeted with a scowling face. The man was so grumpy and rude. On enquiring about the different beers, he was most unhelpful and normally you would expect to be offered a taster..not on this occasion. The barrel needed changing on one of the local beers so off he marched off muttering under his breath and then I heard him shouting expletives in the 'barrel room'! Most unprofessional. Finally we got our pints which at best were not that great. They looked like dishwasher and no head on it whatsoever. Having tried the same beer in a pub in Bromyard the day before, I knew that this barman clearly had no idea or inclination on pulling a good pint. We enquired about the pool table but got a blunt, "it is not being used as we have had a function on." At the same time we were informed that there was no food on either.The pub was completely empty and we for one will never return. The barman should be stripped of both his duty and bartender license. Utter disgrace to the hospitality industry. Vile experience.

Stopped here with a group for a drink during a country walk. Gets one star for good beer. The Barman was obviously put out at having to do some work. Beer was good, but he decided to close half an hour early, when we would have stayed and had another round of twelve drinks. The room was a featureless box with a TV, and having to take of boots in a country area seems churlish. Will not return, especially as this is the pub next to the brewery, and should be a shining example of hospitality.

Today we all enjoyed a beautifully served and delicious three course lunch. There were 18 WI members and friends. We expect the best and here we always receive the best.

We went here for a Christmas meal and it was really nice. Lovely atmosphere, the staff were really friendly the meal was very well presented. Will definitely look to go back again.

Went here with my boyfriend and 2 other couples who my boyfriend works with couple of weeks ago and i have to said the food was very poor looked like slop on a plate defo not worth the money so good job I wasn't paying cause I would of refused to pay...

Eat here regularly and it never fails to deliver. Food is good quality and plenty of it. Local beers from Wye vale and good service. Thanks to Simon and his crew

We popped in on spec on a Sunday lunchtime having not visted before. This place does what it says it does. Country pub serving good quality food. We had the Sunday carvery which was excellent and extremely large carvings of meat. Good choice of veg and friendly service. Home made deserts to follow and all in all great Sunday lunch. The layout of the pub is a

Decided to visit for an evening meal, booked online but when we arrived we were met with blank faces. The main restaurant was closed and the only acceptable place to sit was by the door. Bar staff not welcoming and place felt cold with decorating going on in the next room along. Left before we even ordered food! Won’t be going back.

Nice little country pud...Nice food,Nice people,Bit over priced for my liking...Like how they bring the Veg,Salad,Chips and new potatoes in a separate dish to the table, You must try the mixed berries cider it's lovely.... Yes we would come here again...

the wedding was perfect,great food,the staff lovely,couldn,t do a enough for u ,lunch on the Weds,was lovely cooked and served just right,we will be back,with friends

Looked a nice place to go but once inside we did not feel welcome as we are obviously not one of the locals. Very much a clique. Food overpriced and not cooked to a high standard which you would expect. It wasn’t busy so no excuse for poor food. Left waiting for ages, poor service, bad atmosphere... won’t be returning here unless I suddenly grow webbed toes and an extra finger.

Tucked away by a boutique brewery - it looks unassuming from the outside. But inside it is a lovely old country pub with a modern twist. The evening meals are wholesome and tasty. Been there several times and always been excellent. Great Herefordshire steaks, fish and chips and platters for sharing. The puddings are just amazing. Short on vegetarian options. Staff are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Definitely one to put on the list.

We went for lunch last Sunday and again, had another wonderful meal.

I have been here three times now and the food is just great. On my last two visits the service has been really good too. I will be going back.

Visited with a gang of friends on a wet spring day - we'd booked but as it was so miserable turned up a bit early and were made very welcome. It's an unassuming little pub next to the brewery, parking a bit limited and very traditional inside, although the loos and entrance hall have had a spruce up. Sunday roast is served carvery style, although there were a number of specials on the board that looked appetising, and one friend is a veggie so they made him a special meal. There was a choice of beef, pork or turkey, and all looked good - the beef was nice and rare and a big portion was offered. You could help yourself to a good range of veg. Puds were nice and there is a choice of ice creams if you are not that hungry but fancy something sweet. There were three Wye Valley beers on offer including HPA which is a nice light pint for summer drinking. All in all, a very enjoyable lunch.

The food was very good, I liked the choice / selection on the menu. The service wasn't so great, asked for a drink that never turned up and asked for the bill which also didn't turn up so had to pay at the bar on the way out which meant no tip

We came here early January for my birthday, the food was delicious! We had large sharing platters to start and all struggled to finish our mains. The food was cooked to perfection, presented well and reasonably priced . The staff were all polite and attentive, they were also more than happy to accommodate a surprise birthday cake! We will definitely be returning for family dinner here again soon.

Very helpful and allowed a young child and dog to dine with us which alot of pubs won't allow. Good food and tasty puds

called in after a brewery tour, for a meal. the place was full, many people eating. the landlady managed to squeeze us after an hour and a half wait, due to it being full (thanks landlady). it was worth the wait, we both had ham in a white wine and mustard sauce. fair play it was a fantastic meal. now for the bad the landlord he was so miserable he made jack dee look happy, and he cant keep a good pint. after drinking the same beer next door in the brewery, his beer was flat with no head. would i go back there yes but for the food and not the beer. landlord look after your beer, your right next door to a brewery who recommends you on their website. your letting them down with your beer.

Visited on Wednesday evening and glad we did. A very old syle pub/restaurant ; clearly a locals and tourist meeting point. Dark oak beamed ceilings and antiques on walls. Although the interior could do with updating, that did not detract from the food. I was a little disappointed that there were not more ciders on offer, especially local ciders. But the food was delicious! We both had steak and ale pie and it was perfect. As a football pie-loving person, i was apprehensive with short crust pastry but it was cooked sublimely. The gravy and meat were delightfully rich and the veg and chips served were absolutely homemade and fresh. The waitress was very friendly and all in all, highly recommended.

We stumbled upon the cosy pub on our way back from Wales as had googled somewhere for lunch. The menu offered all the variety needed and the specials caught my eye. The portions were generous and the food was all very nicely cooked whilst it was all washed down with a selection of the local ales and ciders. Would definitely go again.

Recommended by our B&B; and we were lucky to get a table even though it was midweek. There were quite a few family groups there for a meal, but also young farmer types just in for a drink. The landlord didn't seem inclined to chat, but the place was pretty busy and people at a neighbouring table were friendly. Real ales and cider were excellent.

Ate at the Plough on Saturday night. Fantastic food all around. Had the creamy mushrooms and Brioche to start along with a selection of breads and dipping oils. The Rosemary dip was our particular favourite. Followed this with two Fillet Steaks cooked to perfection, home made chips and a fresh salad. What could be better. Decided not to try a desert as we were already pretty full but plenty of other diners were tucking in. The place was full so I would recommend that if you do go, then phone and book first.

Went there upon many recommendations, we booked but still very busy, my first worry was they did not have a full range of Wye Vally beers despite being next door to the brewery. I had a rib eye steak that was far from medium, it...

The owners hosted an amazing venue and event for my best friends wedding last March. They went above and beyond our expectations. And made a same sex couple wedding perfect

Gran Asador, con una gran variedad de verduras. Éramos un grupo de 23 y el servicio era genial.

i like The Plough for a casual lunch. It's on the main road to Bromyard and easily visible from the road. The food is consistently good and the service friendly. It's basically pub dining and the prices should easily fit most budgets.

We were on holiday in the area and had noted several good reports in the comment book where we were staying about the plough inn so decided to give it ago. Several different ages and tastes were accommodated with the menu, to start we had chicken strips, salmon and advacado salad, chicken and bacon puff pastry pie and went down well. Followed by fish and chips, chicken special with blue cheese sauce, chicken with tarragon sauce and duck. My mum had another starter as a main. Plenty of food on both courses. Very busy for a Wednesday night with 2 tables reserved and another 3 tables filling up as we were leaving. Desserts went down well too. Service was good and chap went out of his way to find out about the hunting costers for us.

The Tripadvisor photograph and Post code do not correspond with the Plough (though the Wye Valley Brewery itself is next door), where the postcode appears to be HR7 4HJ, so check that you have the right place. After a few miles cross country on narrow lanes from Bishops Frome we arrived at the main road, where a sign proclaimed that a warm welcome awaited one at the Plough, 500 yards further along. That proved to be a slight exaggeration, as the waiter looked less than ecstatic when we arrived at 2.p.m. on a Saturday enquiring if there was still food to be had, and although the place was empty was unwilling for us to sit in the sun at a table he had already laid up, presumably for dinner. However the genial chef said that he was still happy to cook, and the pork tenderloin with white wine sauce that he produced was pronounced delicious; ample quantities of nicely cooked vegetables were also available, with the result that 'the platter' was almost literally 'licked clean'. The Ploughman's also came with so many accompaniments that it was hard to finish it. So, full marks on food. One suggestion: the management might perhaps give the chef some overtime to make his own pickles, as the only slightly jarring notes were the rather vinegary commercial pickled silver skin onions and the chutney, which, though quite edible, was the usual rather boring commercial sort.

Lovely atmosphere and room for a get together staff couldn't do enough for us .Food was fantastic not 1 complaint from 20 people definitely book there again!

Nice enough pub in the Herefordshire countryside but the menu is poor, I thought I cant go wrong with a gammon steak, hot but very greasy, brown leaves in the salad that's just lazy not checking things like that. I didn't complain as the waitress did not seemed interested in anything to do with lunch service, wife had salmon in some kind broth which was not a taste experience plus it was served on a plate?I was in the C&H business for years before retirement so I would like to think I have an insight into what's right or wrong.Pubs like this should be little gold mines but if everyone is like me and only visits once they will not survive, there was an air of couldn't be bothered. Shame really.

The worst of pub food, The Plough Inn is based in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside yet the menu comes straight from the deep freeze via the microwave. The menu is straight from the 70’s -80’s however the prices seem pretty up to date. If only this style of pub could produce quality food that’s in season instead of the dull predictable offering that we we’re faced with.

Called in a couple of nights ago early for a meal. Service was great and meal arrived piping hot as usual and very promptly. However, my steak and ale pie with pastry topping was wonderful with lots of really rich tasty gravy whereas, my wife's chilli was apparently very wish you washy and somewhat disappointing! Quite unusual for the Plough. Never mind, everyone's entitled to an off day, we'll be back as we know their usual excellent standard.

We were made very welcome by the staff. To start we had garlic prawns, the fried camembert and the black pudding w poached egg were all much appreciated & frankly enough food really! For mains we had rump steak, rib eye steak, salmon, Moroccan casserole, fish&chips - again - very filling portions & delicious. Although full - the deserts proved irresistible & clean plates & fat tums all round! It was one of the parties birthday & the staff kindly brought a dessert with a candle in it without being asked. Unfortunately we thought the Chardonnay was somewhat bitter, we should have said something but didn't, just ordered Sauvignon next round.The beers were found to be in good order. Highly recommended - we'll be back

I've been here a couple of times and can only say I have enjoyed one meal. I did not like Sunday lunch at all, not enough choice in vegetables, roast potatoes where very greasy and found that the gravy tasted very creamy and to much flour added.

Another great Sunday lunch at the Plough, with two teenaged boys who relished the carvery, and four adults who thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Nothing was too much trouble - even though banana-split was not on the Dessert Menu, they still produced one. The chef personally re-assured my miece that a particular allergen was not used. Highly recommended.

Super Service, Fantastic Food,especially the Brie Wedges! Yummy! One of my favourite places to eat in Herefordshire.

Good pub food and well kept beer and good wine. Friendly staff. Excellent function room for parties and weddings

Very friendly staff, lovely meals & desserts. Very clean & tidy il recommend to everyone. The chips are to die for . Simon always produce lovely meals

This is the second time we have visited and yet again, it didn't disappoint. We both had one of the specials - pork loin in bbq sauce with mash and vegetables, it was absolutely delicious! Portions are pretty generous, so you need to go there hungry! Atmosphere is cozy, with a fire burning in the fireplace and friendly staff. Will definitely go again.

After visiting the Wye Valley Brewery at Stoke Lacey, Nr Bromyard on the A465 Bromyard to Hereford road. We thought we would try a meal in the pub next door called "The Plough". We were extremely well greated by very professional staff, who went out of their way to great us. My father who is disabled and in a wheelchair was treated with such respect that we knew we were dining in the right place. We were served immediately and although the restaurant area was filling up we were never kept waiting. In fact nobody was.They have a fantastic menu that is really value for money and very generous portions. We live in Gloucester but we will be re-visiting this establishment again very soon. As we were delighted with the way we were treated and our meals. The staff at this pub are a credit to the owner. Long may it continue.

We enjoyed another superb Sunday lunch today with excellent service from the staff. However, we couldn't help noticing how it was looking a little tired now and really in need of a bit of TLC. Such a shame when everything else superb ( well perhaps a new selection of CDs wouldn't go amiss)Great food and service - keep it up team!

Good Food and Plenty of it, big Table for our group, staff couldn't do enough, even down o bringing more gravy Gluten free I might add Specially for two members of the group, normal for rest of party large room with good service of drinks

Wonderful to have a restaurant near us that serves such fresh and good food. We do love the pubs in our area but most of them serve ''Pubby food'' that is not too exciting. This is a wonderful change.

Very friendly service, good range of drinks and the food is carefully sourced and prepared, offering a very good menu.

We had a group booking which was handled efficiently, when everyone was served without delays and mistakes. The food was delicious, I had chicken and my significant other had the fish. A variety of nicely cooked veg to accompany. Puddings were equally good. Well done to all the staff who worked cheerfully amongst the noisy but happy group.

My third or fourth visit for Sunday lunch but my first alone. A really nice Prawn salad, followed by a choice of three good quality meats - I had the turkey which was beautifully moist - and a selection of fresh vegetables. The Old Press Shiraz was a new one for me, and very acceptable. The Banana Split was probably one of the finest I have ever had - simple but delicious ( I always specifically ask for vanilla ice-creams only since I dislike perfumed ones intensely ). The Plough Inn was very busy with local folk enjoying their Sunday lunches...which is a recommendation in itself.....

Meal was excellent, I started with chicken strips in cajon batter and chilli sauce - very good. Then I had beef chilli, half and half rice and chips, this was even better. I was recommended to go to thIs restaurant and I wasn't disappointed.

Recently attended a wedding at The Plough. Fantastic food, amazing staff! I genuinely believe it couldn't have been bettered! I think Nardia is superwoman!!

We had our wedding reception here after another venue let us down. Right from the start Nadia & Simon could not do enough for us, from changing the menu to dressing the room ourselves, which Nadia helped with. The day itself was amazing, in the kitchen Simon gave us a fabulous knife and fork buffet with incredible desserts and front of house Nadia was always there on hand to help out with everything. We can't fault them and were so glad our last place let us down. Huge thanks to you all, you went above and beyond what we expected.

I feel a bit disloyal writing this as I didn't pay for lunch.... but its 20+ years since I visited this pub and was sad to see it looked the same and is in need of updating/refurbing. I know this all costs money but when was the bar last done??? We had booked a window table which when we arrived it was occupied and although it was vacated before our food was served we didn't feel like moving. The menu, is in my opinion, too extensive. This always suggests "bought in food" to me. This is the only pub for many miles on the main road from Hereford to Bromyard and I feel is missing a trick. I don't want to go back in another 20 years and find it the same.

called in for quick stop and really impressed with the wonderful hospitality and really gorgeous coffee, will definitely call back again to take full advantage of this hidden gem.Worth noting there is also a lovely sunny beer garden at the rear.

For non-UK readers, Marmite is a foodstuff you either like or hate. The Plough Inn is similar. It may suit you: it may not. It really is a 50:50 game from our experience as a monthly dining club. We were split on the place's ambience and main dishes' quality and especially the chips (French fries) much vaunted in other Trip Advisor reviews. If you like overcooked, greasy potato wedges, you'll love them. If you seek crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, pieces of fried potato, run screaming elsewhere.Positives: service was excellent, right until all the staff disappeared after our desserts had been served (we're talking 9pm, not some extraordinarily late hour). No invitations to have coffee or liqueurs: no contact at all. The cook eventually sorted out our bill after our leader went up to the counter to ask to pay. The menu is extensive: worryingly so in some ways. Can so many dishes be prepared fresh rather than pinged in a microwave? Let's assume they can. Four of our party of six found their main meals very good. Steaks well cooked; pork loin deemed succulent and generous; liver & bacon well above average. We all agreed that the starters were OK and desserts were excellent. Beers and wine were fine, though Guinness cost an eye-watering £3.70 per pint, against £3.30 in our usual, nearby local. The place was busy with diners, even on a Tuesday night. Ourselves excepted, average age 60+.Negatives: ambience is faux "olde worlde". Wooden beams and brasses in one dining area; modern tables (and what looked like more comfortable modern seating) in another which was out of use on our visit. Two diners' gammon steaks were very overcooked. Edible? Yes. Enjoyable? No. When informed, the cook said that he would ask the butcher to cut the gammon thicker. You can judge how that will solve overcooking. Vegetables were OK as were side salads. The chips were a matter of taste. Certainly not the triumph other reviews suggest.Prices of all dishes are above average for the area. Given the variable quality, we agreed the premium isn't justified.

Just stopped for a light lunch had a Ploughmans very good the Sunday carvery looked good plan to go back and give it a try. Staff very welcoming

The original part of the pub is quite cosy but shabby, they also have a large function room and a newly refurbished restaurant. The pub was sadly nearly empty all evening so lacked atmosphere. We were given a warm welcome. There's a vast menu which isn't seasonal and a few specials on the board.The food lacked imagination and the veg were tepid (we didn't send them back to be microwaved again). Having read about their chips being The Best, we shared some, but they weren't. Home made, tasting of potato but flaccid.We wouldn't go again unless the food changes.

Stopped off here by chance and was extremely disappointed in the food at the carvery. The beef was fine, but that was about it. The swede and other veg. was totally bland and to be honest it was not that nice. We have never been here before and will not be going back. It's just that there are much better places within a couple of miles.

We called here for lunch and were made very welcome. The menu has a good selections of tempting meals and we were very pleased with our choices, my husband had a substantial piece of delicious belly pork served with black pudding mash and port gravy and I had a tasty fish pie. Our vegetables were broccoli, carrots and the best red cabbage we have ever eaten. We couldn't resist the puddings, I had a gorgeous banoffee sundae and my husband had his favourite, apple crumble and custard. A lovely lunch, and we look forward to a return visit in the near future.

Had a really nice mid-week meal. The chips were amazing - thick cut, crispy and homemade (it's worth going for the chips alone!). The rest of the food was nice and the bill was reasonable. It's a nice pub although it could do with a bit of updating. The only thing we didn't like was the cat wandering around in the bar and the kitchen and a dog which came bounding through the bar and into the kitchen which put us off the food a little. Other than that I would recommend a visit and we'll probably go back sometime.

Excellent carvery. We've taken a coach trip twice. They love it.Just about the right distance from Gloucester for a day out.Lovely setting in the countryside, with good views of the surrounding area. Staff always helpful and friendly, especially with our less able passengers. Excellent food, service andprices.

We eat here regularly and it's always a treat. Excellent food - the steaks and fish and chips are especially recommended, with good beer, some from Wye Valley Brewery next door. It's a welcoming place, child friendly and caters easily for groups of any size. For the warm weather there's a lovely garden off the conservatory. Highly recommended if you're passing but worth going the extra mile for, too.

We had such a delicious meal here,service was quick and beautifully presented, we then had a banoffee sundae, huge and yummy! The lady that served us couldnt have been nicer. The following day my friend discovered she had left her handbag behind, we just knew it would be kept quite safely for her

me and several friends went for a meal the other week and had a great night the food was quick and the staff were very nice

At very short notice my sister had to find another venue for my nephew's wedding. She booked The Plough Inn and was very happy indeed with this choice. Wedding guests came from all over the world and all agreed that the standard of food and the staff were just fantastic. I can wholeheartedly recommend The Plough as a venue both for special occasions as well as for a meal out with friends.

Visited after finding it via TA and whilst staying locally. Had not booked but were taken straight to a table. Place was busy having several groups in that night but service was excellent and professional. Food was lovely, fish and chips was really nice, it is great to get real home cooked chips with fresh fish and a good sized portion to boot. One small thing would be I would have preferred mushy peas with fish and chips rather than garden and it would have been good to have the option. Staff were lovely and welcoming. Will definitely be visiting again and recommending to family around the area.

We went to The Plough for my son's birthday with two of his friends and we were not disappointed. There is something for everyone on the menu and it is all cooked from fresh. The staff are very welcoming and efficient even though they were extremely busy. We have been here numerous times and we couldn't recommend it enough. For well cooked food, a great pint and a warm welcome this is the pub to visit.

Characterful pub with very pleasant staff. The food was nicely cooked with ample portions served. All in all a nice dining experience.

I had to travel a few extra miles to get there but it was worth it - probably the best food in the Bromyard area, friendly service and good beer too

Visited this evening without booking and had a lovely meal, staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. The only drawback was the wait which we were warned about when we arrived.

I went for a ride out on Sunday looking for a lovely country pub to have lunch with my partner, and we found The Plough. After looking at the Menu we decided on the Carvery which i had a choose of 3 meats and 4 choices of fresh vegetables it was all cooked to perfection. The staff was all very helpful and caring you couldn't ask for more pleasant staff considering it was very busy pub. It puts other Cavery places to shame its about quality not these cheap carvery places with heated food from days ago. We will definitely be returning.

I attended here today what can only be described as a special occasion grandads 85th birthday it was horrid the place has got ants!!! They were crawling on the table....As for the carvey well...the beef I thought I was eating grandads rubber boot vegetables what vegetables? Carrots and cabbage that's your lot!! No I never went late either....very disappointed especially considering the bill was over £200 you'd be better off with a frozen meal from Asda keep well away....Ants are known as good tooth picks I suppose!!! Apple crumble if you like it burnt then this is the place for you.....

A group of us ate here in mid March and couldn't have picked a better place for my son's 21st . Friendly, helpful staff behind the bar and at our table who couldn't do enough to make our evening great. Our waitress took my husband's meal to keep warm as our baby needed attention, brought it back with fresh vegetables and chips - very thoughtful. The food was delicious, and we weren't rushed during our meal - it really couldn't have been any better.

This really is a brilliant place to eat. The food is excellent; home cooked with plenty of choice and good sized portions. The staff are warm and friendly and there is a good variety of beers on offer. Highly recommend a visit.
