The owners of the inn are also cattle farmers of the Irish Dexter. They are grass fed only for three years and dry aged 30-50'days. The result? Fabulous marveled beef that melted in my mouth.

The Plough made such a good impression on me I just had to go back. I love the area, the pub, and…read morethe menu. Apparently I'm not the only one who feels this way. 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.

What a fantastic Christmas Eve lunch we had today!…read more The set lunch menu was not big BUT there was enough to satisfy the four of us! I ordered Crayfish & Salmon which looked so lovely I didn't want to eat it. My husband's Porcini soup was delicious and presented initially with the garnishes then topped afterwards with the soup from a jug! It was wonderful! Main courses were equally tasty and impressive. I had Hake which was cooked really well and the accompanied vegs all complimented it fabulously! Husband had Beef, son had Lamb, mother in law had Pork all were fantastic. I had a taste of their Yorkshire Pudding which was fantastic too. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

The service is always good and the owners are really friendly. Food stand-outs - the parfait is delicious. It comes with walnut bread which is really yummy. The fish and chips is AMAZING - exactly what fish and chips should be: super crispy batter with delicious melt-in-the-mouth fish inside. Love the chunkly chips, especially with mayonnaise. The sea bass is also really good. Finally dessert is yummy too - I particularly like the sponge pudding which they were nice enough to give me with custard and icecream! Seriously go hungry - you will want 3 courses - especially for only 20 quid!

Had a good bit of banter with the people greeting guest. Really friendly atmosphere. Seating on the patio was extremely comfortable. Getting more drinks was easy peasy. A chap came and took our food order, and then with more drinks coming we went inside to our table. Five of us in total. I ordered the salmon, with the grapefruit and wasn't disappointed; I could have eaten more.... Before they took the food order they alerted us to the fact that there were only two fillet steaks left if we wanted to lay claim to them, and my friend and I did. I eaten at places before that claim that the steaks are 28 days' old. These were absolutely perfect. I had mine cooked blue, and it was beautiful. A crusting of crack pepper, and it was sumptuous. £27. None of the steaks are actually shown on the menu, so it really does depend upon what is available. (Aubrey's dry aged beef.) My wife had the fish cakes for her main, and really liked them. Pre-dinner drinks consisted of Gin and Fevertree tonic, Pinot Grigio, I stuck to Beck's, but my friend had some other light beer and lager, neither to my taste. With meal the women had Viognier (£25?), and us two blokes had a Malbec (£35). The waiter took time to explain about the Malbec, and was very enthusiastic in providing the details. Full marks for his love of what he does. OK. Ready for this...... With a rounding up with a tip £400 for the five of us. I put it down the ladies' tonic waters.....

When I arrived the venue has a large rear car park and you immediately walk into what is quite a small pub, I stood at the bar and waited for other guests to arrive and was pleasantly surprised by the drinks selection. A number of beers on draft and a very good wine selection, at reasonable prices with a lot of staff behind the bar so service was prompt. Once our party had arrived we were taken through into a rear dining room which was much larger and had a relaxing atmosphere. The food was fantastic there is a frequently changing menu with a number of specials on offer. I opted for the steak (and asked for it blue) which was cooked to perfection and of very high quality. Next to me a friend ordered the kiln roasted salmon and grapefruit salad which also looked amazing. Food was served quickly and despite being a party of 12 at the same time. There were no problems and everyone was incredibly happy. The staff were fantastic and took care of every minor detail. Definitely worth a visit, and fantastic value for money considering the quality. It does get busy so you will have to book a few weeks in advance for groups but considering what is on offer this is to be expected!
