"Beautiful setting and lovely hotel. Bar and Restaurant is visually impressive. For Vegetarians, food was average in our opinion. Far too close to being a Vegan menu, little inspiration away from the actual cooked veg. Jerusalem Artichoke was a standout as were the x2 desserts. Other courses need more thought/imagination. Add a foam, pasta dish, egg? Can do so much more. Service also bit of a let down also. Nice head waiter but asking menu list number for wine selected and whether we wanted tea/coffee before we actually finished dessert wasn't in keeping with their aspiration of being a fine dining venue. Lady on service also seemed to take exception when we queried the lack of Goats Curd on main course. Rather than take the plate away to correct/redress, we were bought out the curd on a side dish. Head waiter did acknowledge error and did go out of his way to make amends. That was appreciated. Would return to hotel, but restaurant menu needs revamping"

"Amazing venue for a party! Craig and the team couldn't have been more accommodating in helping us organise and pull off an amazing birthday party in the Ugly Duckling function room. Tim the new chef was absolutely brilliant, he worked with us to create an amazing menu which was enjoyed by all of our guests! He was passionate about the food and it really showed! They even did us frozen margaritas on mass to go with our theme. The bar staff on the night of the party were brilliant, couldn't recommend more if you're looking for somewhere to host a party!"

"Our dinner experience at this restaurant was supposed to be a highlight of our week away during Christmas, but unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. The main issue was that upon being seated, we were informed that many menu options were no longer available. In my 40 years of dining out, I have never encountered a list of unavailable options as extensive as this. The excuse given for the limited food availability being because it was Christmas was wholly inappropriate. Despite this disappointment, the rest of the evening was satisfactory, with the food and service being decent. Overall, it was a letdown. I would recommend that the management improve their menu planning and food ordering process for the future."

"Dinner here was supposed to be one of the highlights of a week away over Christmas. Sadly did not live up to the expectation. The main reason being that as soon as we five were seated, we were given a list of menu options of what was no longer available. In 40 years I have never faced a list of missing options in any restaurant, perhaps the odd 1 or 2 options. Disappointment was compounded by the wholly inappropriate excuse that there was insufficient food because it was Christmas!! What remained of the evening was OK, food was OK and the service was good. All in all, it was a let down. Recommend that the management up their game with regards to menu planning and food ordering in the future."

"Upon arriving we were seated at a table to the rear of the restaurant right by the door to the kitchen and the toilets which had a busy thoroughfare. We ordered fairly promptly and the starters were served within an acceptable amount of time. Each was presented nicely and were most enjoyable which proved promising for a restaurant that we had not eaten at before. Then came the main courses which were a completely different story. The ribs which 2 diners had ordered were served simply with a pool of bbq sauce sitting in the middle of each rack. The chicken skewers in short were uncooked, lacked any substantial flavour and were full of water! This dish was returned and a replacement was refused! We informed the waitress when she questioned the enjoyment of our meal that it was not good for which she apologised. The chicken dish was removed from the bill and apologies offered. We would not recommend or return to this local restaurant."

"Whilst the interiors of the pub are lovely, we went for a Sunday roast on a football day. The pub was incredibly noisy with numerous football screens round the pub. Whilst there were no screens in the restaurant section the noise still carried. The restaurant also so dark we couldn't see our food properly. Veggie roast was pretty tasteless, my son's lamb roast was smothered in mint sauce which he didn't like and my husband's roast looked ke a bowl of treacle soup....it was swimming in gravy that looked like treacle. Shame as we love the pub as a pub, just won't be going back for Sunday roast."

"It’s a shame as about 4 weeks, I had an amazing, faultless meal here but today the service let it down and the Roast Beef! We had to ask each time when we wanted our orders taken, had to go to the bar to order drinks as had been sitting down waiting for 20 minutes. Service was friendly when we did get served but it was very slap and dash. The roast beef which is meant to be served pink was not pink and was overdone, extremely chewy and was impossible to cut with the knife. They had run out of stuffing too. The desserts on the other hand were great. Quite disappointing overall though today, I have to say. Particularly for the price you pay…today it was a let down and I don’t think I will be back in a hurry."

"Only people in the restaurant. Now we know why. The poor waiter was on his own and looked like he was working the bar as well. Food took forever and was cold. the menu was missing lots of items. This was a celebratory meal with our families for our engagement and they had travelled an hour and half to come for it. Think living room should have warned us and we would have booked elsewhere. Not even an apology or warning until we complained at the end. Just stick to drinks and stop doing food!"

"At Poms on Friday 13th October for evening meal with extended family. Apparently the sirloin steak was perfect and also salmon risotto was super. The rest of us had fish and chips with accompaniments. It is a lo g time since such a good fish and chips, really was lovely. I Didn 't find the boxes it was served in very eater friendly . Not comfortable at all with that, though the presentation WAS impressive. The staff were delightful. All in all a good experience. Would definitely return."

"We were in the area for the British Grand Prix. Our accommodation did not provide food so I looked around and liked the look and reviews of The Plough Inn at Marsh Gibbon. After a long day all four of us were in need of refreshment. There is a separate dining area which suited us well after our long day. With a good choice of menu and this being our main pit stop we needed refuelling. We were not disappointed having all chosen comfort food. The chef cooks ham and gammon with coke and the result is delicious. We were well served and looked after, the beer was good too. I would have no hesitation in going back nor in recommending this fine hostelry."

"Ordered pizza for collection, went in early to collect and waited for ages for my pizza to be ready to then be told the base I ordered is out of stock. Could have told me this when I went in rather than making me wait all that time. Asked for a refund to be told I might get it in 3-5 working days and if not I need to chase it up and I can’t get confirmation of the refund being processed before I left the store. Inconvenience one after the other. It’s really not good service or consideration for the person waiting. Staff was also dropping pizza trays on the floor constantly, loud banging like they all can’t be bothered and had other people complaing. Not run well at all. Also should be aware that it’s ramadan and people waiting could have been fasting all day, should have some awareness to not waste their time standing around waiting for a pizza thats out of stock when you can be courteous and tell them so they can go elsewhere. I would avoid this takeaway, shambles."

"Lovely family-owned restaurant! They offer gluten-free options, including delicious pancakes with generous servings of Nutella. I would definitely dine here again if I had more time in Belfast. Prices are very reasonable."

"We had booked a joint birthday celebration following a visit to J D Youngs earlier in the Summer, and wanted to return to dine in the beautiful restaurant area. The service was great, fully explained the menu, about the Harleston area and checked on us throughout our dining to check if we needed anything else ie more drinks/condiments etc, and asked how our food was. The food was well presented and very filling! The restaurant was warm and busy, providing a great atmosphere (especially on a Sunday evening in January). It felt like the start of the weekend as opposed to the end! They also arranged huge sparklers in a cake we had brought ourselves, and kindly cut up so we could all take some home. We were also surprised with a voucher for our next visit as a birthday treat. The management came to say hello which was very welcoming. It was great to see Danni and his team."

"Great setting, real unique English style pub. Food and table service let it down. Waiting staff operated at their pace, made us feel guilty for asking for something (water, wine) it was difficult to work out who the staff were in the restaurant. On expressing dissatisfaction (incomplete meal, inedible food) we were told no one else had been unhappy with anything that day, no apology. As other reviews menu items not available at peak time. Food was disappointing potato undercooked, meat tough. Such a shame really wanted it to be special occasion. It really could be an exceptional place. No return for us."

"The atmosphere is fantastic, with a truly unique English-style pub vibe. Unfortunately, the food and table service fell short of expectations. The waiting staff seemed to operate at their own pace, making us feel guilty whenever we requested something like water or wine. It was also hard to identify who the staff were in the restaurant. When we expressed our dissatisfaction with an incomplete meal and inedible food, we were told that no one else had complained that day, with no offer of an apology. As noted in other reviews, several menu items were unavailable during peak hours. The food itself was disappointing; the potatoes were undercooked and the meat was tough. It's such a shame because I really wanted this to be a special occasion. It has the potential to be an exceptional place, but we won't be returning."

"Busy and popular pub in the middle of Blackmore. Lots of people eating and drinking, but plenty of space at the bar. The beer was good and the service quick, despite how busy it was. Nice old building with all the character you could want. They have kept it bright and welcoming inside. Luckily we were in the village already so did not need to park. Parking is a nightmare, with people inconsiderately filling the residential streets and making the junction almost impassable."

"Best fish and chips I've ever had. Very fresh tasting. The chips were hot and tasted like they were just cut. Been there twice, had fish twice. Traveling to Dublin again in a week. Want to try some other dish, but I sure would miss the fish. The waiter remembered me from my first visit. He remembered what I ate and drank and where I sat!! Like the cozy atmosphere and great local music. I'll be back."
