The Plough Harborne in Birmingham

Warm, family friendly place to eat, drink, and chat. Excellent brunches and lots of seating. Especially with the newly improved outdoor area. Mondays: 2 for 1 pizzas. Tuesdays: 2 for 1 burgers. 2 for 1 brunch (served until 12) for NHS and Blue Light Card holders.

Love this place. Great food and dog friendly. Lovely atmosphere.

Brilliant hard working staff - we had a great New Year’s Eve here and will certainly be going back!

Great food and atmosphere - always. Most reliably enjoyable pub experience in Birmingham

Drink only, nice layout inside with great heated outside area.

Fantastic setting, lovely food and some pleasant staff! Second visit:Fantastic quiz and great smiley service from Immi. Tyvm

Loved it here but on this occasion they got my order wrong and gave me beef. I'm a vegetarian and that got to me. Had to change my order completely. No discount was offered

Love the plough,fantastic place!Can't fault it!

Delicious breakfast! We have been a few times and the food it’s always amazing! Our server a lady from Portugal is wonderful but in general all the staff it’s great!

Not been here in many many years and totally impressed with its makeover - it’s now a really upmarket, great venue for drinking/dining. Location not great if you’re driving as parking nearby is poor and service wasn’t great but they were busy. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would definitely return

Always consistently good great staff atmosphere and quality.

The plough has always been a favourite but this week I had lunch with friends. The mains were fine except they got the wrong order for one of my friends and had to take it back. Secondly, the brownie I had was uncooked, compared to my friend's brownie (she had the same). When pointed out to the waitress she replied - 'it was cooked in the same batch', clearly not! No offer of reimbursement. As a result my stomach has been a bit dodgy since Tuesday..... wonder why! The prices in comparison to the food are way too expensive and that goes for the service which has declined over the past few years. I will not be going back again as there are better places to eat at in Harborne.

Great service. Pizzas as always fabulous on the Monday offer. Lovely ambiance in the Stein tent area .

Popped in for breakfast on my way to New Street Station. Food and ambience is amazing. Background music was sublime and at a nice level, not to loud. I had the full breakfast and it was really tasty and well presented.

Came here for a work Christmas dinner and it was lovely. We had sent our orders a few days before which seemed ti help. We did have to wait awhile before getting our mains but it was all good. Waitresses were really lovely too. Had a chicken and red onions calzone with three scoops of ice cream from the festive menus and Cajun chips!

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

Came yday afternoon. Connor looked after us well and made sure we had everything. Food was nice and there was a busy atmosphere. Would come again.

This is a lovely friendly pub. Staff are very helpful and attentive and the plus side, food very good.

Milk! The portion of milk to have in coffee is tiny! Like white American and you get like a teaspoon of milk. The waitress was rude to a older lady, in ear shot. Loads of empty tables and because she hadn't reserved was made to feel guilty and bad.

Always come to the plough when we have family visiting or there is an occasion. Always amazing food and great service.

The food was delicious. Took a bit of time to get seated but worth it in the end. Our server Anna was incredible.

Staff are polite and attentive and the food is always amazing! It somehow manages ro always taste just as good each and every time we visit! Brilliant!

The best roast dinner we’ve had out for a long time. Beef was superbly cooked and the accompanying vegetables spot on. Fantastic friendly service from our waitress. First time here but will definitely be returning each time we visit our son at uni. Could not fault it.

Visited The Plough as part of a large (30+ person) group for a Christmas meal. The waiting staff were magnificent, patient with the large group and welcoming of us. Would highly recommend.

As always The Plough is a friendly well run eating place. Beautiful decorations and always buzzing with happiness. It’s our go to place in Harborne as although a little pricey offers a brilliant menu. Food is always great quality and well presented. Thank you The Plough…..we’ll be back!

Gracias a Sofía y Ed... nos sentamos afuera y pasamos demasiado tiempo con dinero como para no querer irnos... éramos los últimos menos una pareja en irse, ya que lo pasamos muy bien. Ps Ed part si eres una melodía fantástica gracias por la conversación

Tuvimos el mejor tiempo allí! Mi novia y yo cuando necesitamos una buena comida siempre vamos al arado. El servicio y la comida es siempre increíble y fresco. Anna estaba cuidando de nosotros y ella era extremadamente servicial y atento. Buen trabajo chicos por tenerla en su equipo!

Requested quiet corner, and request was met. Very happy with me visit

I normally love The Plough for a meal and had heard great things about The Plough's Sunday roast. We ordered the roast beef with sides of cauliflower cheese. All of the vegetables were great and very tasty, but the Yorkshire pudding was rock hard and the beef was incredibly salty, so much so that I left the majority of it. The two friends I was with also found the beef very salty, but did eat more of it than I did. I did mention this to the waitress who took our plates and she said she would let the chef know. The sticky toffee pudding, however, was delicious.

Lovely experience as always! It was my wife’s birthday and the team made a bit of a fuss of her which was nice. Sunday lunch was amazing!!! We will be back ☺️

Service really good. Food offering seems to have shrunk on a Sunday lunchtime. Would have liked wider choice in roast offerings.

The food was nice and so were the staff. It was very expensive and we knew nothing about the £15 service charge. My husband was charged for a pint of beer that he did not have. Far too much for people on the basic pension like us. We won't be returning due to the cost.

We have been to the plough a few times so knew the high standards it keeps. I wanted a relexaed birthday brunch with my husband so we came down. I had the veggie breakfast and he has the house breakfast. Both were lovely and the expectional standards we are used to at the Plough. However, on this occasion the food was not the star of the shows. The star was the lovely server, Liv. Liv really made my birthday, she gave me a complimentary bilini and catered to us with a smile. Very helpful, friendly and chatty. I was a waitress for many years when I was younger and as such really appreciate good customer service. Friendliness and care go a long way, a small gesture from Liv actually had a huge impact on my day and my 31st birthday. Thanks Liv Ps - management, give this girl a raise.

Friendly welcome and speedy service. Atmosphere was good, chilled but place was busy. Pigs and blankets ans garlic bread with mozzarella were both brilliant! Chorizo and ham pizza, to be honest was average (has been years since I was last there). Cuban sandwich with with turkey brie / cranberry, was also average. The toasted bread was very firm and the fillings lacked much flavour, too much cheese and not enough meat. The dipping sauce was spicy and really tasty. You do pay a premium, it was expensive for what it was. Not sure if return in a hurry.

Lovely atmosphere. We had the chilli, which was excellent and service was very good also.

We pay a small penny to go to The Plough every 3/4 weeks speeding upto £150.00 per visit however if you are going to offer table service then the service should match the expectations. We amongst many others waited ages for drinks orders to be taken. Staff walking past without looking in the direction of customers. This is not what we have experienced before. It seems management were not at the venue and some staff, (not all) were not up to the job. Unfortunately this will be our last visit as now you have stopped serving Amstel draft beer we will be going elsewhere…….. It’s sad as we’ve been going for over 20 years. It was bad enough not serving Grey Goose vodka, but now getting rid of AMSTEL is the last straw. Thank you for the good times..

Really nice pub, excellent staff. Very enjoyable

Always served by Amazing Staff, very pleasant and can't do enough for you.

Service was great. Quite pricey and not table service. Food very good. Very busy and noisy, could only get an outside heated tent which was very chliiy.

Had a great meal out with family. Food was really tasty and great selection of drinks. Service was brilliant - everyone was so friendly. Special shout out to Chloe who ensured everything was 10/10. She was so personable, friendly and knowledgable.

The Plough in Harborne is a fantastic spot with a vibrant atmosphere and a welcoming vibe that instantly makes you feel at ease. The décor is stylish yet cozy, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed meal or drinks with friends. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. From hearty mains to tempting small plates, there’s something for everyone on the menu. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. The only drawback is that it’s a bit on the pricey side, which might make it more of a treat than a regular go-to. However, given the quality of the food and the atmosphere, it’s worth it for a special occasion or indulgent outing. Overall, a great choice for good food and a great vibe in Harborne!

Loved our visit here. Service was outstanding especially from Chloe. Food was really yummy and great selection of alcoholic drinks. Looks pretty inside too. My only criticism is the kids burger was pretty dry and possibly over cooked in general - meat and bread.

The food was very oily and we could barely eat it, we had to ask to order as interactions with staff were very limited and it is very very over priced for what we had 20 for fish and chips and 20 for a burger ? For it to be covered in oil and dirty oil as the chips were a dark brown colour and working in kitchens you can tell this is not a well maintained one

Ordered 4 roast beef dinners, was really busy in the pub so had to wait a while before they brought out the food but it was worth the wait. Meal came out piping hot and the pink beef melted in your mouth. The girl who waited on our table, even though rushed off her feet was smiley and helpful.

oustanding sunday lunch today ! food was excellent and best service we have experienced in years despite being clearly very busy! would definitely recommend.

Fabulous food as always with loads of choice & it’s always fabulously different. Our waitress was lovely - highly recommend

I had a wonderful meal at the Plough on a Sunday evening. Went for a roast... However by the time I ordered there was none left! So make sure you're earlier if you want to avoid disappointment in that respect. The chicken burger I had instead was absolutely divine though! So I can't complain at all about the quality of food and service. There was Also a very well prepared quiz taking place at about 7pm which made the evening even more enjoyable! Will definitely be returning.

One of my favourite venues. But a slight disappointment yesterday when ordering my 'favourite' Cuban sandwich. Having not visited for a while it seemed the recipe had changed reducing this distinctive meal to a Meat and Cheese toasted sandwich. Everything else still excellent.

Great value (2for1) Pizzas. Good service but can be very noisy with large groups of people. There needs to be a 'quiet zone'. What does the term Energetic' mean in the feedback on 'Noise level' ?!!

I have eaten Sunday lunch at the Plough more times than I care to remember, this is probably the first negative comment I have made. First of all the Service was outstanding and the food was cooked brilliantly, as per normal. However, the change in vegetables supplied with the Sunday lunch were not the norm and they just weren't up to the same standards, and the amount given was not as generous as they normally are. When we spoke to the waitress, she was amazing, polite, courteous and explained its possible a seasonal thing, however the veg replaced is still in season so we were not convinced. The decision to up the price of the lunch, split the Cauliflower Cheese from the meal and charge extra for it was one thing, but to now provide substandard veg takes the Plough out of first choice for a Sunday meal unfortunately.

Everything was excellent. We had the Sunday Roast, which was superb!

Great food and service as always and perfect with the kids. Thank you

Prices for drinks is silly half a cider and a pint of shandy £9. Small coke £3.50. Adding a service charge of 10% is taking the mic . You should State this before ordering .

The Plough has always maintained a special ambiance and a welcoming atmosphere, however the food pricing is now such that unless you are availing yourself of it’s 2 for 1 offers you’re paying a high price to eat there. Pizzas are nearly £20 and nowhere near as good as competitors such as Rudy’s. In short it’s become a burger or pizza pub and offers little else and certainly nothing special on its (relatively small) menu.

A pleasant experience. Service was friendly, but not always efficient. Food was good and plentiful. A very decent pint of Wye Valley.

Me encanta este lugar. Comida de buena calidad , precios aceptables para bebidas. Fantástico servicio del personal, sobre todo de la chica Sophie!

Fantastic place,cozy and nice, delicious food. Amazing service from Sophie 5*

What an amazing place, I had no idea this fantastic family pub existed. It has so many areas and seating for everyone. The food was fantastic, but it was very busy and I did find it difficult to place my order. It wasn't clear whether it was table service or whether you had to order at the bar. But the staff were so friendly and helpful it made up for the wait and confusion. Loved it

I personally wouldn’t come again the service is all over the place waiting around for rest of your food to come so you have to send it back because it’s cold

Excellent as always. Will continue to use again and again

Fab service and quick service for drinks . Good recommendations from our waitress who was super friendly

Food was beautiful and served in a timely manner by very friendly and approachable staff. Thank you so much. Would definitely recommend you to friends and family 😊

Great place, tasty food, helpful staff, bustling atmosphere.

On arrival at the Plough, I was pleasantly impressed on how nicely decorated , and the layout it was. The staff were lovely and friendly. Quick to serve you. Food was great. My daughter is a vegetarian, she had a good choice. Which can be rare at eateries. Overall we had a lovely brunch. We will definitely recommend. And return again. Thank you.

Although the waitress was friendly and pleasant the service was slow given they were not very busy. I ordered fishfinger sandwich- the fish goujons were cold , too much sauce and the fries had been double fried. Waitress was pleasant about the feedback. I’ve only been to the plough twice and both times the food has been below average.

Food is always incredible! We live in Staffordshire but home town is Birmingham so we visit more frequently than we do our local restaurants/ pubs. Just love it and you cater for all dietary requirements which is great! More than one option for vegans and each of the vegan options include protein which is rare.

Lovely and patient team - thank you all for this evening

Lovely place, good food, very good service, been before, will definitely go back.

Roast dinners were delicious, the veg was all fresh and beef cooked excellently- however the service was shocking, the food took over an hour to arrive, without any warning, we had to ask for the table to be cleared and for dessert menus, and desserts took 30 minutes for an affogato and a raw brownie. Definitely recommend the roast but dont expect to be eating on time or any acknowledgement from staff

Fabulous Sunday lunch today with family. Great time , delicious food. Excellent service by Connor, made it perfect. Thank you.

80grams of meat for 22.5£ sunday roast… Everything was really tasty though

Great place to have food, really good selection, good service. Tasty meals and good selection of drinks. Great coffee.

Friendly service, good vegan food and wide range of drinks

Stopped in for a quick drink, great atmosphere and nice venue. Efficient friendly staff.

I've wanted to try The Plough since I moved to Birmingham and went on a Saturday evening with my mum who was visiting. The restaurant is huge and very nicely decorated. We felt like we had enough space and loved the plants above us. Every waitress we encountered went above and beyond and was very friendly. The food was very nice (we ordered the chilli and a cuban sandwich), so overall it was a lovely night.

The stuff is welcoming and friendly, Menu is simple but accommodating, Family friendly and cosy place I had my best fish & chips experience in the west midlands recommended by Nicole (thank you dearly if you reading this) . It was so fresh, tasty and crispy. I am not exaggerating it is the best. First time here but not the last.

There is always a great buzz about this place! Having been many times before, the food never disappoints..

Best gf bread ever!!! Excellent choices for gf , varied and slightly different than the norm 👏👏

Delicious food, great atmosphere, and lovely service.

Great food and brilliant local beer, Intuition but Attic Brew is my favourite. Pizzas are great and the Caesar salad absolutely slaps. Must visit if you're in Harborne.

Nice atmosphere, great pizza . Good pizza offer on a Monday to share with friends.

Genuinely never expected at the grand old age of 41 to eat the best tasting roast I've ever had in Harborne. But I'm here because it happened. And you should be too.

We were a table of 8, 4 adults 4 kids. The service was great and perfect for the families, the food was well priced with lots of options especially for the small ones. The roasts were impeccable. A lovely meal out.

Can’t really say much! My Mom died on my birthday on Thursday, so I was hungry & just needed to get out of the house & eat something with my 14 year old Son. Sad times!

Had a lovely meal with my family. Staff are very friendly. Will be going back

Recently we were there for breakfast and its price it’s not reasonable at all, they charge us £80 for a weak service and average food.

Ridiculously over priced. My partner and I ended up spending over £80 for breakfast for sheer mediocrity. Further, our waitress was terrible, she order the wrong food and even ordered an additional full English breakfast even though there was just 2 of us. She also took the food away whilst we were eating. I have been coming to the plough for over 8 years but that is the last time. You are taking advantage of what you have.

Amazing service and food was spot on. Love a good BOGOF, and the cubano's on a Wednesday always hit the spot!

It's always a pleasure to visit The Plough. I like having a Veggie Brioche for breakfast with free filter coffee.

A great place to visit for breakfast or lunch. The lunch menu is really creative with a variety that is very impressive. Looking forward to a repeat visit soon.

Everyone at the table agreed the waitress was the best waitress we’d ever had, she was incredibly accommodating and sweet. I wish we got her name, she was the black girl on service between 1-2pm on Sat 29th Sept 2024. I think her shift finished as we were leaving which was just after 3pm. Truly great service. The food, which she recommended, was also great. It was simple enough - just loaded fries but very tasty.

Great food, great service and great venue! One of my favourite places to go for a guaranteed good experience with anyone!

Excellent lunch out at The Plough! We arrived a bit later than our booked time due to traffic but a call ahead with staff sorted the problem and they were very understanding. Food was absolutely amazing, and the service speed was excellent other than a slight delay to our first round of drinks due to ordering at the same time as a walking club arrived. The roast beef was a big hit at our table. It was very busy, but the atmosphere was very nice and not too loud - we will definitely be going back again!

The staff were pleasant throughout the evening but this does not detract that we were seated outside on a cold September night and received overpriced though basic food. If this is Hip then the Birmingham culinary status has a long way to climb.

Firstly I must say the staff were nice and friendly. However this does not detract from the overpriced menu served at our table in the back garden in September which was cold to say the least. How much should a poke bowl cost in the midlands? The reviews saying this is 'hip' cannot excuse the poor value, even for Birmingham, which will remain in a culinary dessert for some time if this is the norm.

We love The Plough as it Consistently serves fantastic food with friendly swift service. We had visitors over from Ireland and wanted to share our favourite pub for food in Harborne. The shepherds pie was absolutely delicious with the best gravy ever. Fish and chips was crisp and the teenagers love the poke bowl and burger. Service was top notch, despite sitting in an alcove out of sight, our waiter regularly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Fantastic evening as always.

Went there for brunch. The service is great, staff is friendly. We had some warm drinks that were great. The turkish egg was good but it lacked a bit of flavour. Overall great experience.

Everything was fantastic, as usual. Great staff, great venue and the shepherd's pie was lush

Cosy, Friendly, and Delicious The Plough Harborne is our favourite spot, whether it’s for a dates or a meal with friends and family. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, making it a perfect choice for any occasion. The food is consistently delicious, and the Sunday Roast is a must-try. I recently had one while pregnant and felt completely safe and looked after – no worries at all about the quality or preparation. The staff are brilliant – friendly, attentive, and always making sure you have a great experience. It’s a cosy, homely place we’ll keep returning to.
