The Plough Beefeater Grill in Solihull

Steak too thinly cut for my liking, and the "surf" was 2 prawns and a few popcorn calamari. Other meals were fine.Service was not particularly attentive (manager and 3 staff happily chatting amount themselves).

The restaurant seemed short staff as both staff and manager were occupied on arrival, but it wasn't a long wait before we were seen too. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We didn't have to wait too long for our food. The meal was nice, cooked well especially the steak.

Beefeater have certainly improved over the past couple of years. I would say the menu caters adequately for those that require larger meals, and would appear to be good value for money. Staff was friendly and polite, I think the restaurant needed to be busier to have a more vibrant atmosphere, but for me just grabbing a quick meal after work, it was fine.

We went a week ago today which was mother's day, busy as expected and wasn't fussed for the long waiting times as we expected. We booked late and got a table for 5 that was great. Food was alright steak was over cooked but it didn't ruin the day.We decided to go again today...We got seated straight away and waited for nearly an hour without even been offered a drink. In the end we got up and was leaving when a waitress spotted us and asked if we was OK. I was fuming at this point and just said we're going. She offered us free drinks and dessert to stay. So we agreed. We was charged for 4 drinks even after. I told them we only had 2 and they offered them us free but they just removed 2 off bill. We both had mixed grills, steaks both well over cooked again. Medium well but past well done to say the least. Chips where still raw. Overall it wasn't awful and just average food. Waiting times are shocking. Can't fault Donna the waitress we had her both visits and she's rushed off her feet. I think 3 stars is a fair rating although I highly doubt we would return.

Sunday lunch on 13 February. Between four of us we had lamb chops, turkey and grilled salmon. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked. It was served with lots of love and care by Donna, the one who always remembers our names whenever we dine there and is so attentive to our needs at all times. Nothing seems to be too difficult for her and she’s always checking in to ensure that everything is ok for us. That’s why we keep returning to this restaurant.

Never been to a Beefeater before so we thought we would try it. We had ribs, a steak and and a steak and ale pie. The ribs were very flavorful. Kinda on the dry side but not bad. They came with 2 sides but when I asked for the onion rings that weren't on my plate the server brought me out a small bowl with 2 onion rings in it. Um....really? The steak was nice. The pie was pretty alright too. The highlight was the Barr cream soda with vodka drink. Oh man, that was so yummy!!

Well what can I say...The chef here is a genius... I've not met a chef yet that has managed to deliver a steak that was this close to borderline perfect.I ordered a 24oz T.Bone cooked medium but no blood... This steak was amazing without a drop of blood all the way to the bone.For that alone I've given this review 5 stars.The service from the staff was great and the other dishes were also fantasticMy partner's Haddock and chips was delicious 😋We were a party off 4 and all the food was great....I would strongly recommend to the management that more chips should be added to the high value meals..my £25 T.bone was seriously lacking chips guysIt's not a high cost item and anyone ordering a large meal wants to leave full & feel it's good value for money... Yesterday I had to nick some chips from other people in our party !!From experience the lamb chops are to die for at beefeater but have been excluded from the new menu and also the mixed grill options have change so I was more than a little disappointed on arrival as that's what my partner had at the last venue while on our holiday and wanted to repeat this order for her birthday meal..🤨The prices on the new menu were a little high but signing up on the website gave us a 25% off food.... (You need to wait 3 days for the discount to arrive by email.)However If you also sign up for the free rewards card this should give you another voucher for 50% off another food order and the rewards card seems very user friendly where points are concern5 points per £ and 500 points to a voucher so every £100 spent should get you a voucherhowever it wouldn't complete the registration on my phone and i haven't been able to successfully do it to date ☹️It really pleased me to see the staff systematically cleaning the menus as that it a real downside of most pub chains.I would happily recommend this beafeater... But for value I'd go on the website and sign up for discounts before attending.We saved £19 but the 4 meals and 3 drinks was still £68 so special occasion not every day for us.Photos show the food and cleanliness of restaurantA big well done to the chef but a little heavier on the chips next time please guys 😉😎😎😎

Just a quick stop for dinner on our way North but very happy with the friendly, quick service. Food was typical chain fare - our choices Smothered Chicken and Sirloin Steak - but food was tasty and well cooked. Triple cooked chips and the coleslaw were particularly good. Bacon on top of chicken could have been more well cooked - it looked pale and unappetising. Decor was nice and fresh looking. Toilets very clean. Would definitely stop there again.

Stopped as have done many times before , wanted a Jacket Potato as wanted to be a bit healthier but they only do fried potatoes, I ordered the traditional Christmas Dinner , it literally came 1 min after ordering it , The turkey and the stuffing balls were rock hard as were the Brussels, absolutely Mank and definitely not freshly cooked more like cooked yesterday, groce won’t be hurrying back sorry . I was offered a free drink or a free desert as compensation by the bar lady the manager didn’t even come over to look or apologise . Don’t waste your time here the Restraunt stinks of a fry up , go to the Harvester 100 yds up the road .

Disappointed with the desert I just had to take a photo. A new addition to the range New York cheesecake. The only WOW was in the price approx £6 and not the presentation , the product eas good but not enhanced This would put me off buying the desert next time.
