Plough & Harrow, The

770 Chester Road, Walsall, WS9 0LR

The Plough and Harrow served as an old coaching inn in the past and has been restored to become a spacious country pub and eating house, with large open areas and numerous alcoves. It retains its old world charm with stone floors, exposed beams, leaded windows and roaring log fires. With two large patios in the front and rear, it allows al fresco dining almost throughout the year. The restaurant seats a hundred and can cover an additional eighty. The dining area is decorated with copper, suede, raw wood and leather, creating a pleasant environment made even more attractive by interesting artefacts. The wine 'prison' with captivating barrels and bottles ready for release, is another area that deserves special attention.

The menu offers an eclectic array of pizzas, pastas, salads and steaks. There are also light bites which combine to become a meal. To set the right note of fashionable sociability there are sharing plates, antipasti of Italian meats, dolcelatte, marinated vegetables and warm stone-baked flatbreads, or Mediterranean mezze of hummus, roasted vegetables, fregola, tzatziki, feta, spinach and ricotta pâté with flatbreads.

Amongst the appetisers look for freshly made soup; lamb koftas with mint yoghurt, kohlrabi, cumin and carrot salad, or gambas with rocket, garlic aioli and rustic bread. Look, too, for scallops in the specials section.

The salads offer chargrilled chicken with courgette, fennel, apple, asparagus, hazelnut and balsamic dressing, and the seafood fiends find pleasure in some prawn and avocado with pecans, mango, bacon, orange and pomegranate vinaigrette.

These days no self-respecting gastropub can afford to be without its pizza range; expect to find a classic margherita of cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, pomodoro and basil, the rustica with roasted Mediterranean vegetables, goats' cheese and cherry tomatoes, or the piccante with pepperoni, chorizo, tomato and jalapeños.

Pastas include linguini with tiger prawns, crab, chorizo, chilli, tomato and white wine; strozzapreti of tomato, goats cheese, spinach, pine nuts and raisins, or tagliatelle with slow cooked Bolognaise and parmesan. For the big event there is always roast rump of lamb with sauce soubise, asparagus, pancetta, button onions and baby potatoes.

The battered haddock with frites, tartare sauce and minted mushy peas is popular, a sign of the times and improving taste in eating. Spit chicken with lemon, garlic, thyme and frites is worth trying too. For hearty eaters there are rib eye and fillet steaks or blackened cod fillet with egg noodles, pak choi, mango and chilli salsa.

REVIEWS OF Plough & Harrow, The

Mark Maltby (24 March 2012)

Friday arrived a busy week travelling the length and breath of England. The fridge looked interesting and the stove was calling, however the energy levels were low. So, we decided for the going out option. We considered a range of places and decided on the Plough and Harrow, a call later early booking agreed and confirmed. Arrived a little early, however greeted professionally and given options of seating straight away, with a choice of tables. Then ordered food that was adapted for a celiac requirements. Loved the sharing platter and the mains of Rib Eye and traditional Fish & Chips with a twist of fresh tartar sauce and crushed peas, was fantastic. The White Choc Creme Brûlée hit the spot at the to finish the evening. The experience was ideal and we will be back thank you for finishing a busy week and setting the scene for a great weekend. Hence, writing the review. We will be back soon.

Vantheman (5 April 2009)

We went as a group of ten for a 40th birthday celebration. Despite having booked we had to wait 40 minutes to be seated and a further hour for the main courses to be served. Two plates were the wrong dishes; the staff were uninterested and disorganised. The food was poor; my roast lamb was overcooked and dry. It's definitely not recommended.
