Loren Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Honestly Lisa you should definitely try the food and make an opinion for yourself. I don't know why some people on this forum enjoy criticising local businesses. At this pace there will only be funeral care and estate agents left on Lordship Lane. We are a couple of French foodies and very picky about food and although the service may be slow at times, the food is simple, home made and good quality pub food. We can tell they only use frsh ingredients.

StraferJack Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Plough isn't really a local business tho is it?http://www.mbplc.com/aboutus/contactus/You might be a foodie but there precious little cooking going on in that kitchen and the food is poor so I have no idea what your impressed by Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49921-the-worst-meal-you-could-get-is-at-dulwich-the-plough/page/2/#findComment-791901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_carnell Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Home made and fresh ingredients?That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time. I'd heard French food had gone downhill recently but if you think the Plough is good in comparison then it's beyond saving.

bradley Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 @Loren, lets see if I got you right? You want to tell me and everyone else for that matter that we/they should keep their mouths shut just because it's a local business? Please, tell me more on how this is going to make things better?

Loren Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm sure you can read brad... so read again what I wrote... This is not a forum to make it personal and make silly comments about French food... I was just giving my opinion. We stopped going there for a while because we thought service was slow and food average but we tried again this year and noticed they've improved. I didn't say the food was amazing but it's fairly good pub food made of fresh ingredients and the specials are tasty. Now enjoy the rest of your day.

JaneTutor Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I've enjoyed the pub food at the Plough but more than that I've really enjoyed the fabulous guitarist/singer who plays there quite a few Friday evenings - Tim! (Not biased, but he is my husband!!!)

Cedges Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 The main problem with The Plough is chronic inconsistency. One evening, you have a lovely meal, decent service and think ok, I'll come back here. So you do, and the food is dreadful, the service shocking and the handling of perfectly polite complaints abysmal. Then time fades the wounds, you're hungry so you order food and its lovely...and the whole cycle starts again. I think its why opinion here is so divided, I don't think its a case of people having different standards so much as pure chance when it is you go in there and luck of the draw!I've been going to book club there monthly for 3 years now and it never seems to change. My primary overall complaint would be that the soft drinks are soooo expensive, more than the booze quite often and that really pees me off.
