The Plough Inn, Trottiscliffe

Visited this pub on Mother's Day for a meal. There were 11 of us in our party & we arrived early for a 2o/c booking. At the time of booking we were told you can choose from the Mother's Day menu or Mediterranean menu. When we got there we were told it's only the Mother's Day menu. Everyone either chose the roast beef or pork. We we're then told that there was no roast pork left so roast beef it was apart from one who chose chicken breast. We waited around 45mins & eventually when it was served it was cold the beef was very rare which was not to everyone's taste & the vegetables were hard as in uncooked & cold. The portions were small to say the least & the meal was not at all worth the wait. But we were all soo hungry that were ate what we could & as we were celebrating Mother's Day & two family birthdays we didn't want to dampen the atmosphere. So we chose not to stop for sweet & left promptly. The waitress did ask how the meal was & received a response of "it' wasn't great" but she didn't ask us elaborate maybe because other customers were eating. We used to visit this pub regularly when the previous owners were there & the food was great but I'm afraid the new owner has a long way to go.
