The Plough and Harrow is the best pub roast. Pure and simple. Book in advance to avoid disappointment.
Right from the starters… which were beautifully presented & flavourful, the tone was set.
We had the Welsh lamb & the pork. Both meats just melted & the flavour was incredible! Stunning roast potatoes & a special shout out to the parsnips with a little magic twist. The stuffing, the crackling, the veg… it’s the complete package.
If you’re in South Wales, this is the place to go for a Sunday roast. If you’re not in South Wales, go.
My only negative critique is on the dessert side of things: the base of the Lemon Meringue tart was disappointing. While the lemon meringue had that balance of sweet and tangy, the base was tough & somewhere between cardboard and plastic & sadly ruins a really nice dessert. However… the clotted fudge ice cream is a must!
The pub itself is light, fresh & inviting. The staff were lovely, friendly & very patient with my overly excited and indecisive partner. Though with a menu that is simply mouth watering, it’s hard to be decisive.
We are really looking forward to going back.
We chose the following starters:
Spiced parsnip soup - very tasty
Mixed seafood starter - lacked taste
Main course:
Gower lamb - very succulent, well presented, would definitely recommend
Pork belly - very tasty, the pork was gorgeously cooked, would definitely recommend
Dessert:
Apple crumble and vanilla ice-cream - beautiful, see photo attached
Crème brûlée - light, tasty and served with the flame alight so lovely to see.
The service was to a high standard, the request for my birthday was managed and effected really well - thank you.
The choice of non-alcoholic drinks were fair but no choice of a non-alcoholic wine or sparking.
Overall, we spent a lovely couple of hours in a relaxed atmosphere, where laughing out loud is encouraged and all our needs were met. Thank you Rhys.
