The Plough Inn - New Forest

My wife and I recently had Sunday roast at this restaurant. I have to say, it was one of the worst meals we've ever had. The food was poorly cooked and lacked flavor, with no seasoning whatsoever. I couldn't even identify what I was eating if you had shown me a picture first. Would I go back there again, you may ask? I would rather eat at home! Additionally, the prices were outrageous at £27, and as we drove away, we noticed a sign that seemed to confirm that everything really was just as bad as we had experienced.

This restaurant is primarily known for its food rather than its drinks. It lost a star due to only offering two ales, neither of which were particularly good. However, the cocktails and wine options were enjoyable. I was lucky to have visited on a Sunday for dinner, as they were not overly busy and the wait for food was only 45 minutes. The food itself was fantastic, with a delicious roast and a variety of tasty vegetables. The staff were all very lovely and accommodating, and there were plenty of families with children enjoying the extensive playground in the beer garden. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for its reasonable prices and excellent food.

If you're considering dining at this restaurant, you might not like it. The meal was absolutely dreadful - how could they mess up ice and fries? It was so awful that I felt the need to warn others.

For the first time visit, but definitiw not the last. excellent eating, friendly staff, generous portions and not too expensive. we will be worth a visit.

When we sat down, we were given no drinks menu and then waited at least 15 minutes for someone to come and take our order. We then ordered food with a young man who seemed to be on his first day. He was very slow...at taking our order and clearly didn’t know the menu as he didn’t understand what we were ordering. When asked what the specialty curry was to which he answered “I don’t know, personally.” Three of our party then ordered the specialty rib eye steak. The waiter didn’t even think to ask how we would like it cooked, so I made it clear how we wanted it. One Medium, two medium rare. When the steaks arrived, he placed one down and I asked if it was medium, to which he replied “they’re all the same.” The steaks were all cooked very well done and inedible. The mushrooms, also the same. When the landlady brought out the overcooked steaks she explained they were cooked wrong and that she’d take them off the bill but was rude and did not apologise. Do not recommend.
