Sitting…read moresouth of Heathrow, the Plough is a bit off of the beaten path if you're visiting London, but near enough to the Brooklands Museum in Weybridge that it's well worth a visit if you're in the area. The quality of the meal was fantastic. I ordered their petit filet with their creamed corn, a combination of corn, a touch of cream, spinach, onion and bacon that I'll make at home having tried it this way here. They butcher their own meat every day, and the filet was very tender, cooked as desired. The overall menu has something for everyone, and meat lovers are very likely to enjoy the options. The restaurant itself was lively but not so loud that anyone was shouting... a very comfortable place to eat and enjoy company. It's also dog friendly. I'll try to make it back again on the next trip through Heathrow... thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

There wasn't anything that was terrible-- it's just that there wasn't anything particularly interesting looking on the menu. Peri-Peri chicken pasta was unremarkable. Serviceable, but unremarkable. Could have been heated from frozen for all I know. We had two large groups in their private rooms and they did a good job of trying to accommodate everyone, all things considered.

So I'd definitely commend the Black Swan. UPDATE (Nov-11): After several visits, I'd now have to reduce Service from "Good" to "Generally Good" - there are unfortunately more than one member of staff who need some education about "Customer Focus" ...

I did have to sit in a chair that kept sinking back because it was half on brick and half on gravel, but the food and atmosphere made up for it.

It was a Sunday, which also explains the crowds (families, friends, etc). The Sunday offer of a starter and an entree for Pounds 19.95 was a good value. We enjoyed our starters (mushroom on sourdough bread, shrimps and avocado, butternut squash soup). The starters was 5 Stars across the board. What was terrible was the service time. We put in our orders 15 mins after we were seated. It's now 1.5 hours after we had been seated, and there's no sign of our entrees. Which is why I have time to type this in the restaurant. It was very difficult to attract the attention of any waitress. It has been about 45 mins since we finished our starters. A table next to us turned over with new diners after we had finished our starters. As we were about 10 mins into our entrees (served 1 hour 40 mins after we were seated), the table next to us were served their entrees (same roast rump, they did not have starters). So, it's clearly a management and kitchen issue, and not the crowd factor. We have to say that all entrees (roast rump and pork belly) were just average (2.5 Stars). Oops...the bill was wrong. They added an extra drink. Hmm..... Perhaps choose a weekday for your outing to this pub if you wish to give this place a try.

The facility is really nice with indoor and outdoor dining in a nestled in trees and shrubs. The bar is in the front with the dining in the back and outdoors. Good, varied choice of lagers and ales. Good menu selection generally well prepared. I had the duck recommend by another Yelp fan; although tasty it was a bit dry (hard to do with duck). My wife had a sandwich and was "pleased" with it. Seems a popular place that gets busy about 2:00 2:30. All ages, including some well behaved children. "Decently priced considering the area it's in." Service was good though a bit challenged when it got busy.

We walked over from where we were staying in Oxshott and I must say it was the most amazing meal from the entire trip we had in the UK. We started with the SNAILS, which were made with really nice seasoning of what I believe was parsley, olive oil, and garlic.. I think. For main dishes we had the HAKE, RABBIT SPECIAL, and the BOAR. Each dish was made to perfection, and paired perfectly with the wine we ordered. We really couldn't do dessert, but once we heard that it was PISTACHIO SOUFFLE w/ Chocolate ice cream, we couldn't resist!!
