| good old pub .i used to drink in there lunch times when i worked at crownlea tool hire . the food is 5 star holysmoke - 25 Jul 2009 23:24 |
| Been here on numerous occasions, im from the north and i know a good sunday roast when i see one, The carvery choice is fantastic and the little veg fusions ie mustard and parsley etc etc is great too, adds some interesting twists on a typical dinner. The staff are very friendsly and helpful, place is very homely too. I have taken friends there too and they loved it. I been all over england with work etc and enjoy trying sunday roast dinners and carveries from dozens and dozens of pubs. I gonna say this from the heart, the food is as close to my mothers roast dinners as can be and thats as good a compliment as i can give. Big hand for everyone at this fine establishment. ligaman - 1 Mar 2009 16:44 |
| Ha ha! Like it Alzheimers! Although with a name like that, is it possible you have forgotten the real prices? Sorry, could not resist. Like I say, not tried it yet but I have eaten in and around London all my life (39 years) and have had some superb steaks in that time that take some beating, so all I am saying is I would like to test for myself and then I can fairly compare. The owner of the Plough eats in the Pig? This is hardly rare, I know most local pubs all get on with each other and share business, its not a bad idea doing it this way and if he likes the food then maybe I should ask him too before trying it! Thats got nothing to do with the pub itself though, The Plough is a nice pub in my opinion, I don't actually care who eats where! By the way, I can get a 10 oz steak in Ealing for £5 which still hasn't been beaten for taste and value, so maybe I will come along next Wednesday, before I hobble back to my soup kitchen... tombsie - 21 Nov 2008 15:06 |
| Maybe Music Maestro should try the steak night on Wednesdays. 10 oz. sirloin steak, chips, tomato, garlic mushrooms and peas for £5. Sunday Carvery - 2 courses for £12.00. All organic meat ! My girlfriend and I are regulars at this pub and no, neither of us have ever worked there, surprise, surprise. I am glad you liked the Plough as I often see the owner, Vitor eating in the Pig and Whistle, he-he. Are you eating in the soup kitchens in Inner London to get cheaper than this? alzheimers - 7 Nov 2008 15:01 |
| hmm, you get the feeling vetnurse might be related or actually BE one of the owners by the past post! As for the greatest steak night in London, I would suggest you need to try other places first! I am new to the area and have not tried the food myself so its only fair i make a comment on that at a later date should I try for myself. Its a bit worrying that the pub shuts randomly, is this really the case? Anyway, the pint I had was fine, the service was quick and I was met by a smile. It was extremely quiet in there but it looked homely enough, the meals sounded quite expensive though. I may not have been here long but I can tell you now Walthamstow should not be charging inner London prices!!! Music_Maestro - 3 Nov 2008 20:35 |
