Oooh this pub is looovely, especially on sunny days when you can sit outside in their garden…read more They seem to cater to both locals (lots of old folks) and people like us who were driving though. The staff were all very welcoming, and we were all really impressed with the friendly, efficient service. The menu was full of English comfort foods...and they executed everything beautifully. Just look at my photos to get an idea...I tried the goats cheese and caramelised onion strudel, which came balanced on potatoes and perfect ratatouille. If you ever find yourself in this part of the country, it is definitely worth popping in here for some lunch! *Pro tip: It sounded like they get very booked up in the evening, so ring ahead to ensure you get a table!!

If you eat in the bar area you go to the bartender order your drink of choice and meal. Hint...if you only feel like a half portion of fish and chips you can order a half order and for me it's a perfect portion of food. They do have a bar menu too if you don't want fish and chips. But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that. Worth every bit for a nice meal out and I believe that the menu is a bit different.

Sat Navs were also useless, so it's certainly a private little place. A former hunting lodge apparently formerly used by Henry VIII, it is an beautiful old building right on the lake. The sunsets over the lake are absolutely stunning and it's a cosy, warm little place. The staff are very pleasant and helpful in general except for the odd exception - I'm sure they know who they are!

I ate here 2 months ago and it was awful. I should have known it would be a nightmare as i have had…read moreproblems here before but we thought we'd try it and the food was overpriced, microwaved and generally terrible. On my previous visit, i had struggled to pull up a high chair with my daughter and bag under my arm, the lady who worked there just sat there with her friend watching, once i managed to get myself sorted and get my daughter fed the lady came over and told me i couldn't sit there as the table was reserved (it was 3.30 on a quiet afternoon, all of 3 other people in the place) i couldn't believe how rude she was, she said she was the manager as well ! when i said 'thanks a lot' under my breath she started having a go at me, we vowed never to go in there again. Food is generally £10 per head, fish dishes from £14, a bit pricey for poor food and poor service. I have given this place 2 stars as they do have a gated area outside that is good for children to play in the summer, however you are not allowed to eat anything more that a starter out there and that generally causes them an inconvieniance !

I used to be a huge fan of this place but it has really gone down hill. We visited last week and…read moreour meal was appalling. Upon arrival we noted that the tables were sticky, there were children gambling on the fruit machines and the whole place seemed chaotic. The chap on the opposite table was in the process of sending his steak back as it was inedible. We should have left at that point in hindsight. Our starters never arrived and having heard the other complaints regarding the food we decided to go without them and move onto the mains. My meal wasn't even cooked?! The meat on my brothers mixed grill was inedible and my husbands pie was 98% mash! To add insult, the meals had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time as the lettuce on the salads was brown and slimy. We asked to speak to the 'manager' who could not have cared less and didn't seem to understand why we were complaining. She just stared at my father with a vacant look on her face. She made no attempt to apologize and seemed to think that this was nothing out of the ordinary. To make matters worse, when I said that the the whole meal was awful and older waitress collecting drinks at the bar turned and laughed at me! I'm so glad she found our ruined family meal so funny. I can only imagine that they are under new management as standards have really slipped. The kitchen needs a visit from environmental health if they think that sending out un cooked food and off smelling meat is acceptable. I have made a formal complaint to the brewery in the hope that they can intervene and save what was once a lovely pub.

Shortly after finding a table in the late morning the crowds came in. If you plan on coming with a large group I recommend calling ahead to get reservations. They were serving the breakfast/brunch menu during our seating. I opted for the bacon pancakes. The food is presented just beautifully like the perfect instagram photo. And it tastes just as good. If you are a tea drinker you must order a pot just for the cute factor. All teapots come out dressed in little tea cozys. I wonder if they sell them as they all look homemade. My only complaint is that the food came old on the cold side. Perhaps it was due to how crowded it was, but it was like the food had been sitting out for a while. Regardless it still tasted amazing. I think prices for the Plough are affordable. If you have an Independent Birmingham card you receive a discount so keep that in mind. They have a beer garden out back that must be wonderful on sunny days..if we ever get any. I really want to get back there for lunch or dinner. And maybe try a cocktail if they have any. If you're ever in Harborne try it out.
