"I have never written a review on Trip advisor before but I felt obliged to after the disgraceful experience we had for lunch today! I attended the Plough and Harrow for a mid-week lunch with my Grandparents. The pub itself is lovely and the furnishings are beautiful, so I was expecting quality food to match! Both myself and my Gran ordered the light bite Beetroot and Goats Cheese Salad. This was £12.95. The food took around 30 minutes to arrive and when it did I was shocked by what was put in front of us. I didn’t think anywhere could get a simple salad wrong, but this place has proven me wrong! The salad consisted of two lettuce leaves, 3 orange segments and the tiniest amount of beetroot and cheese. As the waitress put the meal in front of me I honestly believe this was a joke. I couldn’t understand how the chef thought that it was acceptable to serve this meal and price it at £12.95! A waitress came over to ask us how our food was and I had to say something. I didn’t think it was right that we were spending £26 on these “salads”. The waitress did apologise and I could see that she completely understood where we were coming from. At the end of the meal we were offered free deserts by the waitress however we were only at the pub for lunch as we had an appointment to go to nearby and didn’t have time to have desert. The waitress bought the bill to us and said she had taken our coffees off the bill, but did not take off either of our “salads”. At no point did the manager come over to apologise or offer to take either meal off the bill. It felt as though the management didn’t care about the feedback! I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to my friends or family!"

"First visit to this restaurant and I’m sorry to say it’ll probably be the last which is a shame as it has the potential to be a fantastic establishment. My wife and I arrived with friends on a Saturday evening for a much looked forward to meal, only to be greeted by a very standoffish waiter and a dining room (the bistro lit brighter than a night match at Wembley stadium. After my retinas had got over the assault I was presented with what I first assumed was an old folks home only to be told that this was where we were eating. (Very disappointed to find out there was no bingo! The menu was great but unfortunately every dish came with a huge dollop of unasked for salt. I’d like to say that the waiter came over to enquire how the meal was but he didn’t. I’d also like to say that I was able to quench my now raging thirst with some delicious wine but we weren’t offered the wine list at any point despite a big deal being made of the wine cellar in the hotel description. We all finished our meals feeling quite disappointed and after a very brief discussion as to wether we should say something to the waiter we decided we were all far to British to cause a fuss and just wanted to pay the bill and leave. On payment in the reception we all noticed that the waiter seemed to be double checking to make sure that we’d actually paid the bill and not done a runner adding to a general feeling of feeling very unwelcome."

"We booked a table at least a week in advance for 2pm on Easter Sunday to dine two adults and a 3yr old. On arrival we was greeted and seated quickly. A drink was served on the table straight away a long with menus to browse over. People arriving after us are being seated either side and communicated to while the dining room is filling up. At least 35 minutes has passed since we arrived and the staff haven’t been to see if we were ready to order. The three of us are sitting with empty glasses awaiting communication. A quick glance at the front of house staff and they are all stood talking behind the bar drinking tea and coffee while the guy in the kitchen has come out to take the orders from the table behind us, their dinner arrives a short time after. Thinking this was odd I decided I would go for a walk up to the bar and ask to place a food order myself. Skipping starters now as our little girl getting very hungry and is starting to get upset because she would like some food. We decided to just go with mains as we needed to get some food for her soon. Our order was taken, sat back down patiently …still looking at our empty glass and it was clear no upselling was not happening and we waited another 30 minutes. An hour now passed in total, So we had another visit to the bar and asked if we could settle the drinks bill and sadly we will be on our way to find somewhere else to eat. Great for a drink in the sun next to the river. Cannot comment on the food but the service and communication was some what of a nightmare sadly ,it could have been a £100 plus cover. Such a shame. Would still recommend giving this place a try to others as it’s located in a beautiful spot, but on the day we had a bad experience."
