Review of: The Plough Inn, Simpson, Milton Keynes

4/5 (minimum 1)

by tom on 24 Jul 2007

I went back to The Plough recently and ate in the restaurant for the first time. It's quite nicely done out in the back, and the food was reasonable. My biggest issue was the service. One waitress was excellent - friendly and efficient. The other was terrible - sketchy, slow, and seemingly at constant risk of forgetting things. It was hard to get her attention, and drink orders often took a while to arrive. We were in a big group, but it did seem a bit extreme.

On the upside the food was good enough. I'm not sure the pear, walnut and stilton salad for starters really worked, but the steak for main course was excellent (with great homemade chips). The creme brulee was a total let down, being more of a creme caramel texture with a creme brulee top.

All in all a pleasant meal and a very nice evening, but a few things that would have been improved. As I've said before, decent pubs in Milton Keynes are hard to come by, so the Plough scores slightly above the odds.
