Plough Inn Pub Southampton

Had an evening meal. Two very rare steaks. The cook had them from the refrigerator at ambient temperature, then carburized. Great. One had estragon butter, the other had rosemary butter. The staff was very knowledgeable. Great experience.

Booked a table for 7 people. They tried to seat us in two groups even though they had two other tables right next to each other that hadn't been reserved. The food used to be quite good, but the last couple of visits have been disappointing.

Went for a Sunday lunch and ordered 3 x Roast Beef, and 1 x Roast Chicken. The beef was tasty enough, however the rest of the meal was nothing to write home about. The staff were very pleasant. Perhaps if I visit again I will try something else on the menu.

No reservation required, came to a warm welcome and service for pre-dinner drinks quickly taken and delivered. The main food court came in good time. Tanglefoot meat cake, red cabbage and smooth potatoes with a rich sauce was extremely tasty and a lot of it. Many parking spaces. It offers more of the varied menu.

We had average service. No one there to greet and show us to the table. Food was not very good, 3 out of four of us did not feel good after the evening, and the next morning. Whitebait was tasteless and shrivelled. Overpriced, whilst l appreciate the cost of living crisis. Only choice of steak was flat iron at £27.00. Better food in Spoons.

I came for a Sunday roast, the chicken was pink so I had to send it back in return I got given beef which I decided to change to. Well, the beef was extremely tough couldn’t even cut it! The waitress may have been having a bad day or hungover.. she just looked absolutely fuming like she didn’t want to be working that day the price isn’t worth it!

Have used this place many times and been quite satisfied but sadly this time the service was poor. We were told no turkey but later saw others being served turkey dinners!! The steak was not good at all. I asked for an americano with hot milk, the reply was do you want black or white? We had to ask 3 times for the bill. Clearly more training is needed.

Nice enough pub with a playground and great beer garden. Food is fine but (in my opinion) a bit overpriced for what you get and the plating is …interesting (see picture as others may have different opinions). Weirdest thing was the waitress delivered our food and then told us we had to fetch our own cutlery, when she’d walked right past it to deliver the food why the weird approach? (Cutlery also had dried on bits of food)

Lovely pub, friendly staff however there were a couple of things not available in the starters and a beer we ordered wasn't available. We ordered 3 kids chicken goujon meals and only 2 available. When they came they were well over cooked and neither children could eat them as it was solid. I understand it was a bank holiday but the popular items need to be made available. Kids enjoyed the play park and the puddings were lovely, but again an item on the menu was out of stock.
