The Plough Inn - Swindon

The food was delicious and the ambiance was pleasant, but our server was extremely unfriendly. Despite the restaurant not being too busy, we experienced very slow service, short and almost rude conversations, and requested items (like mustard) being thrown onto the table. While this may not be the norm based on other reviews, our experience was disappointing enough that we won't be returning and can't recommend it to others.

We had a great time during our first visit to this restaurant, meeting our family halfway between Hampshire and Cardiff. The staff were very friendly, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was excellent. We highly recommend trying the sticky toffee pudding. We will definitely be returning.

I will definitely visit again. The restaurant is dog-friendly, with friendly staff. The kids' fish and chips were very delicious, and the macaroni cheese was yummy. Even my dog enjoyed the dog biscuits they had on offer!

We had a little family walk up the ridgeway and had booked the plough. I live locally but hadn’t been before. I started with a pint of Guinness, I’m a fussy Guinness drinker it was top notch. Family of 4 we just went for mains- T bone for myself (cooked to perfection) Risotto for my wife sausage mash for the kids. The food, the drinks the service all made it an excellent experience. Too often these days customers can pay for very average food service- that won’t be your experience if you visit the plough on the hill- I couldn’t fault a thing look forward to our next visit.

For the second year we stopped en route to Cornwall for breakfast. First rate , service , food and cost. It’s a far better option than the service area and just off junction 15 of the M4. Good parking. Strongly recommended.
