The Plough & Harrow

We tried vegetarian, fish and meat dishes and all were delicious and sensibly portioned so that you can have 3 courses without being over full. I'll certainly be returning to this fine gastro pub. The ambiance was slightly spoiled by the speakerphone on the answer machine, which allowed you to hear the caller's messages loud and clear!

Rated as a 4* but it’s really a 3.5. Our food didn’t quite live up to the high expectations that we had for the Plough and Harrow. Some of the food was really good, but other dishes were a little disappointing and I could personally have cooked better at home. (Eg the curried leg of lamb - the meat was slightly dry, the curry sauce was too thick and sparse to counter the meat and the curry flavour didn’t seem to have penetrated into the lamb - suggesting that it hadn’t been marinated for long enough. Oh and the accompanying onion bhajis were pretty rubbish!) Good dishes were things like the scotch egg starter and the Japanese themed lamb. The service was ok, pretty good from most members of the waiting staff. A little slow for staff to return to take dessert orders which was unsurprising as we were tucked out of the way, but slightly annoying as we had kids who needed to get home to bed. Overall, I wouldn’t be expecting the best food on the Gower, I think there are a few places we’re you can get something better. But it’s worth a visit and the atmosphere and buzz is good.

Chose to come here for our Ruby wedding anniversary lunch. So delighted we did. The food was exceptional (curried lamb shank for him, slow cooked overnight roast pork for me) and both were delicious. With the meal was either a complimentary starter or dessert . The service was wonderful and a special thank you to Cerys for her kindness and friendliness. Altogether we had a very memorable experience.

We're lucky to live a few minutes down the road from the Plough. The food and service are always excellent and the friendly staff went out of their way to accommodate my children and also my elderly father on a recent visit. The Plough is streets ahead of local competition and a real asset for the community.
