The Plough | Westcliff Pub | Venue Hire westcliff in Southend-on-Sea

A bit of a crazy place with lots of live music and entertainment, the landlady works hard to serve the customers

Banging food on pool 🎱 night, well done gem 😉 amazing x

Friendly pub who are working hard to attract a wider drinker and diner. Well done on the redecoration

Here you can relax and unwind in a historic pub or watch live sports events (we were here for the 2024 final). Great atmosphere

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. First time I have visited and will definitely be back soon

Great place, Gemma and staff are all fantastic

I do not visit here often, but when I do, a good time is afoot😁. We arrived just B4 15:00 17/03/24 (St. Patrick's day) & stayed until 00:00. Great meeting Marcus (new to SS area), Jo♥️ (Yoga master) & Rose (Teach me Springbok), John (bad ankles but still boogieing on down) Shazza & Kirsty (Sisters) big shouts to you all👋🤚👋👍. I think most customers didn't want it to end, I know I certainly didn't! Great traditional Irish Band🎻on after 3pm who played a marathon set of over 2 & 1/2hrs. Shortly after the band the Irish dancers entered the dance floor area👯‍♀️, great to see the little ones having a go too, they were obviously well rehearsed😊. Next up at 8pm a live 4 piece band "The Long Run" came on, They rocked! After they finished (10pm) DJ took over and saw us all through to the finish line at midnight, spinning a handful of Soul classics, Irish toons to mention some of the genres played. I was throwing myself around the dance floor like someone had hidden my sedative medication 😂 I eventually threw the coat off after working up a sweat🥵✌️but I still kept the flat cap☺️. Special mention goes to the bar staff whom, under immense volume of customers demanding 🍻🥃🍷service, (they were rushed of their feet for long periods) persevered and got through it dealing with some of us grumpy customers who had been waiting nearly 1/2 hour for a drink order to be taken and served. All in all, we had a very good time, thoroughly enjoyed and looking forward to visiting again but much sooner and not leaving it so long until the next time, I think the Long Run are going to be back next month (April '24). Good show Plough, keep it up👏😁

I don't think they're doing food anymore but it was good when it was there

Great band but what a nightmare it was getting served at the bar. Pretty much ruined the Sunday afternoon

This is a real down to earth pub, with a locals pub feel. Good live music. food has stopped being severed..

No food band absolutely brilliant Roy Mette Band a totally must see

A great afternoons entertainment

Went here for my niece 18th the bar staff were very friendly and helpful. Thank you

Went with some friends, sat in there for 10 minutes while we caught up. A woman came over and rudely asked if we were going to buy a drink and kept stating that we cant just sit there. She was so rude we decided to just leave. Will not be going back. Bad atmosphere, not even entirely sure she worked there.

Fantastic venue on a Sunday afternoon, roast and good choice menu at reasonable price, service spot on, live music and good priced drinks 😊

Lovely bar staff even go out of theyre way give hot water for a disabled child with medical needs a bottle

We watch live bands at this great venue and always come away having had a terrific time. Spacious throughout with lovely bar staff and good selection of alcoholic beverages, including a good selection of cocktails from their own cocktail bar. Never used the restaurant area, but this again is spacious and food looks great. Also has a large beer garden. We always enjoy coming to this venue as the alround atmosphere is terrific.

Just a great pub fantastic atmosphere.

We visited this pub for lunch. I ordered it and the price of the beer wasn't written on it, but the receipt shows it's selling between 5.8 and 6 pounds each But I received 330ml bottle beer and glass, and the glass was too dirty to use. And looking around, seeing everyone else outside of us drinking draft beer. Of course, we may have ordered wrong, but we can't order items that aren't even on the menu.

Rebecca hosts a great quiz! Had so much fun, we had just come in for a few drinks and pool and realised there was a quiz on, so glad we joined in! Didn’t matter that we were late! Definitely come along!

The Plough has recently taken over the live music from the Cricketers on Sunday afternoon. I have very much enjoyed the bands and the very friendly atmosphere of the pub.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere, fantastic food and the staff are lovely. Special shout-out to Rebecca.

Smashing Friday night. Came down with a few gal pals. Sung some karaoke and met some awesome people. Huge shout out to Rebecca who served us all night, absolutely delightful girl. Will definitely be back soon 😊

Amazing! Especially bar staff Rebecca, always makes us feel welcome and very accommodating!

Awesome pub. Megan behind the bar smashed it! (The serving not the glasses 🤣)

Good pub. Wednesday quiz with Rebecca is the best thing about it!

Lovely pub. Always great to see a familiar face when you walk up to the bar. Rebecca can brighten anyone's day with her beautiful smile. The pub is a great place to have a beer and meet friends.

I visit the Plough often when I'm in the UK, the atmosphere is pretty good, especially on a weekend. Drinks are very well priced. Free pool Mondays 👍 Quiz night Wednesdays 👍 staff and service is second to none, Rebecca = best bar person in town 😉

Rebecca, our waitress and bar staff for the evening, was amazing, her joyful persona and personality made our evening!

Great food,very tasty! Bar service was excellent and always with a smile. Very friendly staff especially a lovely lady named Becky.

Me and my partner drink here everyday we are budding alcoholics if you will! All the staff are 5 star Megan, Gemma, Lauren, holly, Rebecca and Alan and some lads... Had a burger Wednesday night it was banging x

Dog friendly pub. I bring my dogs in here and Megan behind the bar gives them lots of cuddles. Nice welcoming pub.

Great friendly place, all staff all friendly, Megan, has a great personality and sense of humour, I wish I could give her 6 stars

Holly behind the bar was awesome! Such a great level of service attention and fun, and knows every drink under the sun

Get atmosphere and jack it great barman

Great place for food, jack the barman was very helpful, pool table too,

Such a vibe 😤💅 The swag lady behind the bar, Megan, offers amazing customer service, very friendly and overall just lovely 😫

Nice atmosphere! That sexy bar girl (Megan) was always there to help if I needed something and made us a drink to keep us positively refreshed. I will definitely come back, especially for her 😋

Just want to say what a lovely night I had, the atmosphere was great the music was even better and the staff were lovely, wanna say a big thank you to holly the lady behind the bar, quick and efficient with her service, fun and singing her head of and not let lying anything deter her as was ask very busy night will definitely be coming back

A great pub! The quiz with Rebecca on Wednesdays is not to be missed! Great atmosphere!!

Wow , fantastic pub , really friendly management and bar staff, very clean , superb music events all over the weekend, can’t do enough for you, heard food isn’t bad either, next time you’re in Westcliff visit the Plough!!

Exquisite experience. The bar lady Megan had upper echelon service and witty repartee. would recommend

Jack was the most amazing and professional person I’ve ever met, he made the experience and I shall be coming back again and again as it was a pleasant surprise.

Staff are lovely, especially Megan

when I arrived the lovely woman behind the bar Megan was very welcoming and polite, she was quick with her service and we had a good conversation. I had spilt my drink a little however she assured that it was completely fine. I am definitely coming back again !!!

If, like me, it's been a while since you were last in the Plough, I would recommend a return visit. There is such a great atmosphere, lovely people, a gorgeous new beer garden, two brand new pool tables and regular entertainment. The bar staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome, extra shout out to Rebecca and Holly for being fabulous! I've given the food 5 stars based on how good it looks and smells, I am 100% eating here next Wednesday at Rebecca's quiz. If you aren't already a regular, make this the place you visit next!

Jack the barman was so good, literally poured the beer so good it tasted like heaven on my lips. Not so good at pool but he tried but all in all a great guy

Love all staff especially Lauren.

always a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere especially from Lauren.

I didn't really expect good customer service and for sure that was delivered quite effortlessly by the very unethusiastic bar tender . For a second I thought I had offended the young lady by just being there. There was dog poo outside as well by the lunch tables where we were seated having drinks and for sure we ( as in four of us ) WILL NEVER BE BACK !!!

A great new venue for sunday afternoon live music sessions .good beer at reasonable prices

Had a great Sunday dinner and wonderful service from all the staff thank you Gemma Robert for a lovely day first class 😀 😊 👍

Had a great afternoon, great food, and really good atmosphere.

Probably the best pub in westcliff..great staff atmosphere and people..good drinking beer..

Would say poor real ale ... but NO REAL ALE ... very nice staff and customers .

Loved it here. Cheapest drinks around. Staff were lovely too.

Nice, spacious pub with great, friendly bar staff. Lots of seating and 2 pool tables. Clean toilets, various slot machines and many TV screens - so I would imagine all sport is played (when live on TV). I noticed a staging area - so live music, dj's - are also probably available. Reasonably priced drinks and bar snacks available. Look, it's a great place to go out and meet friends - with a proper 'pub' ambiance (so, I'd say its not really a place for a romantic, intimate 'date'). Oh, and I do not recall a 'smoking area' so, customers smoke outside the front. 😭 NO CARPARK 😭 and it's located on a VERY busy, main road. You will have to park on that main road (in its first available parking space), then walk to entrance *Free parking on this main road after 6pm*. Bonus point... there is a 24:7 Off License opposite - so if you ever need cigarettes or more booze for an afterparty, this is an added bonus!!!!! Pool Teams available to join/practise with... so just ask if you're interested in playing.

LOVE this pub! Brilliant staff and wonderful atmosphere! We went for Patrick's day and we had the BEST time. 👌 Well done guys x

Has pool tables! Sensibly priced drinks and good music.

I saw live music here and used to play D&D here

It's not the most buzzing of atmospheres, but staff are all pleasant & helpful. Toilets are very clean. Relatively quiet in there, so it's the ideal pub if you just want to enjoy your drink reading a newspaper or chatting with a friend. It's my local, so will go there again.

Love the friendliness & diversity of this pub!!

Nice fish and chips and friendly staff would definitely visit again

Friendly local bar to chill out

Am sporty so I went to check this place out for live sports, drinks and chill. It was awesome! Gud atmosphere and viby...there was a live band actually settin up for the nite...

No air, no openable windows, loud and in a not great area. Staff were lovely just a shame about the pub.

Nice friendly staff, good for a quick pint and a game of pool

Great for people watching if you're really really bored and have nothing else to do.

I normally come here on a Wednesday for the games evening that runs out back by different people. The staff are always very friendly there.

I go here every Wednesday. Really good value for money on drinks and bar snacks. They have the best crisps! I haven't tried the food on offer.

The food was actually quite good, a very nice surprise. Favours were better 3some of the better London restaurants.

Friendly and helpful staff, good old fashioned boozer.nice food, reasonably priced. Now and again live entertainment.

Wonderfull, very helpfull staff and amazing coctails 2 for £10. :)

Some of the most profound kareoke I have ever heard

My home from home lovely staff great atmosphere lovely punters

Loving the revamp of the pub and staff. Been along time coming. Now my favourite new local again.

Staff were lovely, Food was basic, but cheap as chips.we had Sunday roast. A great Singer as well.

Good laugh at the old place and Karaoke is always guaranteed a laugh

A very friendly establishment and they do a superb Sunday lunch friendly really nice staff

With the Plough being our local, my partner and I often come down for a couple, but last night tried the food! It was outstanding, proper pub grub, decently presented and couldnt fault it! Good sized portions and incredibly friendly and accomodating chefs! 10/10 for the service, as always 🙂.

Staff are great. New cocktail bar is a must try! Food is great. Perfect location for getting drunk and public transport home. Or a family afternoon drink an food.

Me and mate popped in for couple of pints Saturday afternoon. Perfect place. Football on. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff. What's not to like.

Popped in for a pint and had nice chat with locals in the garden

Always passed this place. Today stopped in and happy i had. Really friendly and welcoming. Really Recommend a pop in. Staff and locals. ;)

Decent beer, quiet in the early afternoon.

Great place for a drink and nice and friendly staff

It's nice to have a pint every now and then..

Lovely place but with no vegetarian options, which nowadays is unthinkable.

We had a lovely visit here yesterday 22nd May! The first pub visit in months met with great customer service and a warm welcome!

Perfect. Good environment and friendly. 👍😊😊😊👍ARGIE BARGIE

Been there before and had drink with friends good cheap beer and good lady behind bar very friendly and good customer service but very disappointed with the service on Monday the 28th September and walked out after checking in being seated and waiting for more than 20 minutes where the man behind the bar never came to ask what we would like and kept disappearing outside and back of bar too. Also I witnessed another customer who arrived before we did walk out too shortly before us. We then went to the trading rooms and had a far better service by staff and a way better experience. Wont be using the pub if that man is there again.

Nice pub,plenty of space, a wee disco space and a stage for local bands!! 😁

Very loud mouthed & unkind people in there, wasn't a very nice place to take residents.

A bit soulless... But you can reach a Wizards Unite fortress from the darts area ... Useful in cold / wet weather.

Open mic night. Good atmosphere with some very talented people.

Bad service and bad environment

The plough has got good entertainment they also play any live sports that's why I love the pub

Good night. Good for a dance. One of the few places in Southend to host karaoke.

A lovely friendly pub with a great atmosphere, pool and darts 👍😀

Good atmosphere. Friendly staff and people
