nice ambience, helpful staff, delicious food. calzone was the number one dish for everyone! (though the cleanliness of dishes could be improved a bit)

Great atmosphere and food. Loved the interior! The topped fries were on another level. Unfortunately we did find a hair in the dough of the pizza but the staff were very apologetic and took it off our meal. Will definitely be returning

The best pizza I have ever eaten in my life. French toast is also amazing and drinks. My friend said the fish is also very good. I bet anything you have there is decent. It is also dog friendly although only in the garden. It was very cold there today and the heaters are not good. If you sit close they burn you (I had a smoke coming from my hat today) and if you sit farther you can't feel them. That is why 4 stars only (heaters should be sorted).

My GF and I fancied Sunday lunch so thought we would pop in here to eat. The online booking is a total waste of time. It stated there wasn't a seat for hours, yet I knew the pub to be half empty as my friend was already there. When we arrived 20 minutes later we were sat at a table straight away. The food was amazing and the price was fair for the quality of it. The customer service was superb too. There is very little choice for vegetarians or vegans, which is a real shame. There is no parking, and the traffic and roads directly outside are horrendous. I have always found this establishment to be a classy place. However, the amount of kids in there today was really off putting. If I wanted to have Sunday dinner with screaming kids I'd go eat at a Wacky Warehouse. It puts me off coming back to eat here again.

Its a nice venue (esp the outdoor seating area) and the food that we had was good with decent portions. The hot chocolate with marshmallows is so nice. It can get busy, meaning service can take long. If you hope to sit indoors during the winter month (particularly at the weekend) I'd suggest booking a table in advance. As although they do accept walk ins, the indoor seating is popular. We sat outdoors and had table heating and the option to have blankets if we wanted, but to be honest I found the outdoor heating to be sufficient (almost tropical, lol)

This is the gem public house on Harborne High Street but I don’t think it is the best and I shall explain in detail. The location is on the end of the High Street and the parking is severely restricted. There are some online spots but they are subject to time limits and very limited. Also the side roads have restrictions too so you may need to park a distance away and walk. The pub is beautifully set out. It is quirky for sure, with a main theme of barebones such as using pipe work for decor. But it is clearly very modern and an expensive design. The estate seems to always be expanding and the recent addition of the neighbouring building now provides more dining tables. This is an ideal location for any large function either a work do or a family gathering. The food is lovely but really expensive compared to any other pub I have been to in the Midlands. You really are paying for the experience. The food is really tasty though. I find the menu limited but at the same time if you come on the dedicated Mondays or Tuesdays there is '2 for 1' on Pizzas or Burgers which raises the value element a little. The drinks are also very expensive. Again you are paying for the ambience and experience. You could literally cross the road to The Green man and get similar fare. The staffs are always nice. They seem to be young and bohemian/studenty kids. I have only ever had 4 bad experiences; finding meat in a vegetarian pizza, twice hairs in pizza, and once being asked to move from a table I had been told I could sit at. The staffs have always been genuinely apologetic though so it has not put me off too much. If I was trying to impress a date or looking to host work colleagues I have in the past brought them here and only twice has it failed to impress. The nay sayers find it pretentious, overpriced and ‘don’t get it’; the lovers like the safe clientele, the quirky design and the quality of the food and drink. Guests particularly like the beer garden at the back which is very well laid out, with canopied seating as well as open air tables. Also there is a kitchen for great food experiences although again the prices are very off putting. Also the area is not huge compared to the inside floor plan. But there are outdoor heating lamps which are used on the particularly cold evenings. I have not been for 18 months so no doubt there will have been more change and I look forward to returning.

Food and atmosphere great. Only downside, wheelchairs have to go all the way round the back to get in. Definitely go again. Sorry no pics I was hungry yet again.

Title: A Gem of Great Food, Exceptional Service, and Modern Touches! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited The Plough Pub and had an absolutely delightful experience. The food was exceptional, with a diverse menu that catered to various tastes. What truly stood out was the impeccable service provided by the staff. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. I also want to express how much we loved the new tablet system they've introduced. It added a modern touch to the dining experience, allowing us to conveniently place orders and even make customizations to our dishes. It streamlined the entire process and allowed us to focus more on enjoying our time together. The Plough Pub strikes a perfect balance between classic charm and contemporary convenience. I can't wait to return and explore more of their offerings. If you're looking for a place with excellent food, top-notch service, and a hint of innovation, this is the spot to visit!

Was nice and cozy when we came for a drink in October. Sofas need the front are nice to sit on. Drinks are expensive but normal for Harborne I'd say. Can wait a while to be served. Location at the top of the High Street means its a bit out the way but still ok! Didn't eat so can't comment on the food

A great and friendly pub, with a unique experience that allows you to order from a tablet situated on the table. Makes ordering and paying extremely easy, and I believe a great addition to any pub. Food was tasty and had a great lunchtime deal on Calzone. I would love to return when I'm next in the area.

The food and service was amazing. We ate out the back as we had the dog with us. It was warm and very comfortable. We had the Sunday roast (beef), and it was all utterly delicious. Highly recommended

First time going to the Plough, and it was absolutely fantastic, the whole interior and vibe of the restaurant was top tier! The staff were polite and friendly from the start till the end. The way you can order from the tablet (which is placed on your table) is such a good idea, you are able to pay separately if you are in a group and can pay by card! There is a variety of food and drinks on the menu alongside daily offers. I highly recommend and will be coming back again :) Thanks again!

Not Been there for many years but impressed how it has been redecorated. At first we ordered food 😋 and after waiting an hour we still had not received our meals so I went to the bar , I must say how the young man managed the issue was fantastic he sorted out our meals and could see he was upset by our wait. Because of him, we will definitely go back again . I was a very happy customer in the end , the young man who served us is a credit to your establishment. ( didn't get his name but he knew me as I was the man who thought it was Wednesday well done

A nice, cozy pub for a drink. Went there on a Saturday afternoon, relatively quiet. Not too busy. Outdoor seating space is nice. They have a decent collection of Ales.

It was a bit noisy but it was a busy Friday evening. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Attentive staff, good selection of beers (including Attic Brewery's Intuition, one of my favourites) lovely food with generous portions. Will definitely be going again.

The Plough is an excellent local Harborne gastropub. The service is friendly, but often slow at the bar. The menu is limited in choice and personally I find it to be excessively expensive for what you’re getting. Drinks aren’t cheap either, there are many cheaper alternative locations a stone’s throw away. But the atmosphere is great and there is a fantastic beer garden. Note to smokers - vaping and smoking is banned even outside, this is something I personally find odd

A year ago I would have given this place 5* despite how expensive drinks are there (and food isn't particularly cheap either!). But the menu was great and design/vibe as well. But now all my favorite dishes disappeared from the menu! First cuban sandwich became only veggie, and now its gone at all. The burger menu shrunk, and pulled pork benedict is also gone from the brunch menu. Pizza's are still good, but I would rather have it at Rudy's (which opens soon next door) for a fraction of price (and definitely better!).

Eat here regular. The food is great, always to a high standard. The place is always clean and welcoming. Outdoor is 80 percent covered as qell with patio heaters doing a good job in the colder months.

Staff are nice and attentive, food is good - it’s mainly pizza so it’s hard to get wrong. But 6.75 a pint? It’s more expensive than the Dorchester in London. Just a bit baffling. Maybe there’s limited choice in the area for good pizza and atmosphere or something but blimey I just don’t know how any place could justify that price

I go to The Plough fairly regularly for food and drinks but always leave feeling a little underwhelmed and overcharged. The ambience and atmosphere is always great; both inside and outside you’ll get a great buzz and a pleasant place to sit. The menu is on paper excellent. I’ve eaten there for brunch and dinner and there is something for everyone. Most recently I had a full English there. It cost £16 and the plate was mostly filled with pretty sorry looking undercooked mushrooms and tomatoes. The one sausage was very nice but the streaky bacon was a bit chewy. For £16 it was underwhelming, which is a theme that translates to the dinner menu as well. You rarely feel like the food matches the price tag. This overpricing extends to drinks as well, which are far more expensive than in similar local gastropubs. I lot of people like The Plough and I can see why but if you’re into food there are better local options that won’t hurt your wallet as much.

Went in for Sunday roast with colleagues. Had the vegetable roast, plenty of veg, others had the pizza (vegan) and were very accommodating for the dairy allergy, and the other dish was the beef chilli. Great desserts also.

One of my favourites places in Birmingham to eat! The staff are always super friendly and accommodating and the food is excellent at a great price for the amount you get. I can't recommend this place enough

A nice pub with lots of space and great outdoor seating. A few nice vegan options for food. Only downside is that it's a bit on the expensive side compared to other pubs in harbourne.

Stupendous. What a gorgeous pub. Modern design; so cosy you'll stay for longer than you planned. Fabulous customer service and tremendous food quality. Could be considered pricey but Tuesdays are burgers at 2 for 1. An absolute taste of heaven...and that is saying a lot as I am NOT a fan of the beef patty. Try paid parking around the back, at Iceland.

Beautiful space and lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff, always happy to help and accommodate requests. Food was fresh, well cooked and seasoned. Would definitely recommend for a nice lunch or dinner and drinks :)

Wow. What can I say? Just popped in The Plough for a quick lunch and drink and turned into a 5 star experience. As soon as I walked in a lovely girl said can I help you. She showed me the garden where I found a seat. Ordered a pint of crisp refreshing Aspell cider and perused the menu choosing what I thought was a simple dish - Fish Fingers with chips as a side. The food arrived and double WOW !! Home made bloomer with 4 home made fish goujons which were like 4 mini fillets of fish. Complimented with crisp iceberg lettuce and capers mayonnaise. Absolutely perfect and delicious. Big thank you to Sam who was the most courteous and professional staff and an asset to The Plough. I will be back with friends very soon :)
