The Plough And Harrow - Malvern Hills

Visited 24 August 2020 whilst staying at a nearby campsite. Chose the Sunday vegan roast which I've had before at other Brunning Price restuarants. However, it was a bit mushy, and lacked texture. Vegetables were cooked well, apart from the roast potatoes which tasted like they'd been reheated. No vegan dessert options.

Newly refurbished with a relaxing feel this pub ticks all the boxes for atmosphere. There are a couple of vegan options on the menu labelled and a couple not labelled for some reason that come to light upon enquiry. I had the vegan Malaysian curry which was tasty but quite small. The houmous starter was spot on though. I’d happily return with a group if they chose the place but wouldn’t rush back unless they offered more choice.

We have been twice, once with friends and once with family. First time was November 23, second time was Jan 24. On both occasions my wife was served her wine in a glass that had lipstick on it. On the first visit when I took the glass back the guy behind the bar just said sorry and poured the same wine in to another glass, only to find that glass was also dirty. He then went away and came back with a clean glass and poured a fresh glass. Problem sorted, no drama and the food was amazing. We then decided to go again in Jan 24 because the food was so good, but yet again, when we ordered wine, it turned up in a glass with lipstick around the rim, glass and wine was changed with no issue but then we also noticed the water glass’s on the table looked like they had just been brought in from outside. Food for great again though. Overall such a lovely place, staff are great and food is amazing, but when it’s not the cheapest place to go to, over £115 for 3 adults on Sunday lunch, the least you can ask for is a clean glass to drink from.

We have been coming for some years. We always thought it was a quite refined pub. Recently, this has not been the case mostly because of staff and people being excessively loud. We were shocked to see that there were members of staff at the table where this was happening. Being a family, I have to say it is quite inappropriate as you hear many expletives being thrown around very loudly.

Lovely pub let down by poor service and food presentation ! Service was slow and our waitress was untrained! Food tasty but was sparse and poorly presented on oversized plates ! Always happy to pay premium prices but the food and service has to back it up !! Will not return
