"Nine of us made a reservation a few months in advance for a Christmas night out. We paid a deposit and selected our food choices. The reservation was for 7pm, but two weeks before the night we were asked to come at 6pm due to a large party coming in. We were seated away from the main dining area next to the outdoor smoking area. We waited at least half an hour before anyone came to our table. The starters we ordered arrived and were fine, but when our main meals came, only 7 out of the 9 were brought out. It was clear that the missing meals hadn't been cooked with the order. Two of our group had to wait another 20 minutes for their meals while the rest of us finished eating. The manager apologized and offered the delayed meals for free, which we accepted. However, when desserts arrived, 5 of them were incorrect and had to be replaced. Drinks that were not ours were also brought to our table, and despite telling the waiter, he insisted they were for us. The service was extremely poor and seemed to be in total chaos. None of the waiting staff checked on us during the meal, and both the main courses and desserts were incorrect, which was disappointing considering we had made our choices months in advance. The manager apologized again and offered a small discount on the bill, but we have no intention of ever booking this restaurant for a planned meal again. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience and meal."

"We visited The Plough on two consecutive nights on the basis of reviews and because we could walk from where we were staying in Kelmscott. Neither experience was great. First night we both made the mistake of having the Double Gloucester cheese soufflé. Let 's just say this was not what we expected a cheese soufflé to be. It was more like a steamed pudding in a bowl of cheese sauce with grilled cheese on top! Neither of us could finish it and it gave my wife such bad indigestion that she couldn 't eat any of her rather greasy chicken escalope main course. Avoid at all costs. The second night we both opted for the steak frites. This was passable but the meat had obviously been standing for a while as the beure café de paris on top was not melting, it was so cold. We were hungry so couldn 't be bothered to send it back but we did query it as the plates were being cleared. The message came back from the kitchen that there had been no delay . But that just sums the place up. The waiting staff had no idea what they were doing and took an age to do anything. We ordered sparkling wine as an aperitif (once I had found the wine list for myself! and this was left for several minutes where we could see it going flat before anyone bothered to bring it to the table. We ordered wine to go with the mains and we had to ask for it again as we were at risk of finishing eating before it arrived! To summarise, set your expectations low and you might have a nice time and avoid the cheese soufflé."
