| Have been to the Plough on and off for a few years when in London. The range of ale is not the most exciting, but I have no real complaints about the quality of it. Have only eaten there a couple of times, it's been okay. Good with TV's showing football, although lately the staff have seemed a little uninformed about what's on (even though they have been advertising the game outside). Service is a little on the slow side as it seems there's always someone brand new behind the bar, but in my experience this is a common feature for a number of central London pubs. Seems to attract a good few tourists. Not a great pub, but not a bad one either. Billy4 - 30 Jan 2010 16:46 |
| Run of the mill central London pub. There was a very odd smell when we walked in. Moving to the back, the smell dissipated. Not as good as the Museum Tavern, but still had 4 real ales - London's Reinbeer Christmas Ale, Brains Reverend James, Fullers London Pride and Greene King Abbot Ale. blue_scrumpy - 1 Jan 2010 22:23 |
| OK pub with TVs showing sport which is quite rare in this area. Not too much more to add. The Museum Tavern over the road is better but, if this is busy, do try the Plough as it is good enough. Oakman100 - 14 Oct 2009 12:10 |
| Traditional ub near the British Museum that, whilst not being as pleasant as the Museum Tavern still offers convivial surroundings once the tourists have gone. There's three or four TVs in here so sport watching is on offer (rarer than you might think around here). Rather like the Museum it's one to avoid during the day but pleasant enough later on in the day. murgatroyd - 28 Jun 2009 19:02 |
| OK, this is for the new manager. I visited your pub with my wife on Sunday 24th May at about 10.20pm. There were two men working there, one was a young lad and the other was you I assume. I asked for a pint and a gin and tonic and the young lad served me and added the words.........."you nearly didn't make it there" so I assumed that you were closing early for some reason. While we were drinking our drinks I noticed that several other customers were served by the older guy who I assume was you the manager so I risked being served again, it was now about 10.35pm. I asked the older guy, possibly the manager, for another round, he served me but also added........." you just made it there mind". As I sat down to enjoy my drink the manager started to do his till, he looked at the till roll and kept looking at us as though we had stolen something from him. he then rang the last orders bell and the younger lad started to collect in the tables from outside then he turned off the TV which I was watching and put some of the lights out. We took the hint and returned our obviously half full glasses to the bar and the manager said " thanks a lot" and made no attempt to get us to stay to finich our drinks even though it was only 10.40pm. All I can say is this.............your pub is not a one which gives a warm welcome to guests and nowhere near as good as it used to be over the years that we have visited the capital. We will certainly not be returning. bobhaskett - 29 May 2009 17:25 |
