The Plough - Welwyn Hatfield

The pub and staff were pleasant. The menu is uninspiring. The food is below par. I ordered a New York burger that comes with the promise of bacon, cheese, burger sauce additions. Although all of these were present, they were of a very sad, dried out, depressing appearance. The burger patty itself, an item which with no formal culinary training whatsoever, I would consider quite easy to make well, was thin, dry and tasteless. The chips accompanying were, however, lovely. I had dessert purely and simply because I was enjoying spending time with my friend. What arrived really wasn’t worth the bother. The spotted Dick was a grey spongy mound that I’m almost sure had been zapped in a microwave to a blistering temperature. Sadly, overall, the food presented itself as that prepared at convenience, without any care, expertise or taste. It smacked of pre-prepared corporate rubbish. On the plus side, it was cheap. My verdict- go to harvester. At least it is not pretending to be something better.

Been coming here as a regular for 25 years. Booked a meal for two a week in advance and requested a specific table. Arrived bang on time and was told they gave the table to someone else who claimed to come here often. I don’t think I have ever seen them I the village before, let alone in the pub. Frankly this is not good enough. Set the tone for the evening. Couldn’t wIt to get out.

I was here for a meal with family members. The Plough is a nice looking pub and the food is on the whole good and you get large portions. I think waiting staff could give customers steak knives for people having steak and not be asked about this. Chicken, burgers, fish and chips are all good but the Rump Steak is tough and chewy burnt on the outside and raw in the middle.

I had an amazing Sunday lunch at this pub. The standout feature of this place is the staff. They are all very friendly, extremely polite, and efficient with taking orders. Deanna served us and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will definitely be coming back.

The food and service at this restaurant were excellent. I highly recommend it. The prices are reasonable and the restaurant is very clean. The staff was prompt and friendly, and the sundaes were a real treat.
