We had a lovely lunch. The staff were friendly, the place was lovely and clean and the food was perfect and very tasty. Reasonable prices. The landlady made sure we were happy. I will definitely go there again.Parking: Plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Easy for a wheelchair as it is all flat.

What an amazing find great atmosphere, staff really friendly and couldn’t do anymore for us. The landlord and landlady were very friendly and helpful and seemed to know the area well and pointed us in the right direction for things to on our holiday very child friendlyParking: Parking at the rear plenty of lighting entrance well lit up and it and free of leaves and litter

The whole experience was worth the trip from East Meon to Waterlooville.The atmosphere was good, pleasant and clean. Amazing food,had a main course and pudding. Staff were friendly and excellent, with great service. Compliments to the chef as well, who also interacted with me and the rest of my guests. You cannot go wrong staying here for food, friendly staff and a nice clean pub. No faults in any aspects of the visit.So good we come back a 2nd time on the 14th September, as we knew we would have a good experience, with service and the food.

Tried out the plough for the first time in years, new chef Dan is amazing I used to enjoy his food in the woodpecker so I’ll be coming back now he’s here! All the bar and waiting staff were super friendly and polite too. Lovely pub!
Stuart Harrison
Warm welcome, lovely food, and we all enjoyed our meals, and the desserts were good as well.It's worth a visit and we came back a second time during our holiday for another meal.

The staff make you feel so welcome, it’s like the local you’ve never been to, we’ve been looking for a place to go to since we’ve moved to Waterlooville, We have finally found it. the the bar staff are brilliant, the food is great and the young girls that look after the tables and collect the glasses are top-notch. We will definitely be back.

After 80 minutes of waiting for food and £30 spent on drinks whilst doing so, we got a refund on the food, no offer of a free drink etc to compensate otherwise we’d have stayed. We’re local to the area, shame this is the only pub nearby. Won’t be going there again.In response to your comments.WE were not informed of any wait. As we placed our order, we overheard a conversation with your staff to inform any future orders of a 40 minute wait for food. So 40 minutes was our expectation. Had no idea a Wednesday night different to any other.

We went here to eat after going to Hayling island with our teenager and 2 dachshunds. The team were brilliant and incredibly helpful and the food was hands down the best we've eaten whilst we have been away and I would even go as far to say ever. If we come back to the area we would 100% go back. Such a lovely, welcoming place to eat or drink.
Well, we booked a table to celebrate our engagement. We are getting on a bit, and having children it's hard to get time alone, especially eating *mini chip thieves* . So, booked a table to two at lunch time (we are in bed snoring by 8pm so a daytime date was perfect). Picked out my dress, and phone rings. "we are sorry to inform you the kitchen will be closed" ......Jesus, a once in a lifetime opportunity and it gets cancelled! Just our luck. To be fair, the lady was very apologetic and explained the situation well. We had a lovely lunch at that 'everyone knows the name' cheap place and headed home. We didn't actually get to the plough and barleycorn. Sad time!

Have always lived locally and used to come to the quiz weekly after new ownership we stopped coming. The owners before/after Covid were great but sadly left. We then came every now and again. The new owner after was rude so we stopped coming. Came today for the first time in ages and was very impressed the staff were incredible! Very attentive and happy to help. Very engaged in conversation. Dog treats and dog bowls/water provided. For a local pub I couldn’t recommend more. Thanks to the lovely staff! Made us and the dogs feel very welcome.

I booked 3 weeks ago for my birthday for 14 people my first meal out for a year at least . Am gluten intolerant. I was assured all 14 of us would be served same time and our table would be priority table one . I went in twice to make sure. However. Meal arrived after 2 hrs for adults and 45 mins after that for 5 children who were crying by then . Their meals were sent back as were wrong . The waitresses did not know which meals were gluten free so I couldn eat mine . The landlord did not show any empathy and offered us a free shot each. Um with my 94 yr old mum and 5 children and several adults driving a shot was an insult . Sorry but we will not be going again and I do not recommend this place for a meal at all . The land lady who took my booking was lovely and assured me it will be as I needed . But ...
