Review Plough Hotel - Footscray

We had a family dinner celebrating my brothers birthday, and it was a really disappointing experience unfortunately. We waited an hour for our food to arrive, including what should have been very quick starters. Those who ordered the classic pub meals were satisfied, but I had the Portuguese fish stew which was small, very plain and very overpriced. Do not recommend. They did take an entree off the bill but it didn’t make up for a bad experience. We won’t be back.

Absolutely smashing evening. So easy to deal with the staff in the lead up to our function in the Barkly Room. Elsa was great to communicate with and so responsive and kind. The staff on the night were lovely and did their best! My only critique would be that the sound system didn't play as loud as we'd hoped to start a dance floor. The sounds of the crowd drowned out the music. So happy overall and had a special night. Good on you, Plough team!

The food & service was fantastic. Two of our guests had the “steak night” steaks, delicious I’m told, while I had the beautiful gnocchi! I also enjoyed the Footscray gin cocktail. We will be back. This was a dinner for my birthday so thanks for making it memorable. Ngaire

Dined here for the first time and was a very pleasant experience. Upmarket menu (and upmarket prices) but good selection of quality dishes. Steaks were cooked well and offering a large selections of mustard was a nice touch. The seafood linguine was very well balanced and the ingredients tasted quality. Wine list was solid and overall service was friendly and efficient. Would recommend if you're up for a gastropub meal and don't mind paying a little more.

We had a work dinner for 12 people, every single person said their meal was delicious and plans to go back with family, partners or friends. I love introducing new punters to locals in my area and the team at The Plough did not let me down! The seafood linguine us delicious and yes, the wine is also very nice.

I am an avid traveller and my rule for reviewing accommodations is that I should stay there at least twice, so that I can review their consistency. I have stayed at the Plough Hotel more than twice and is my go to whenever I'm in West Footscray for work. The check-in and out process is smooth. The rooms are always clean. The noise level has also been minimal, which is surprising, being above a bar/restaurant and on a busy street. The restaurant is great. The food is always delicious and it's always a perk to be able to take food up to your room, although you can't charge the food to your room. The location is also really good and only a short walk to other restaurants in the area. One negative is the parking. It's small and cramp. I would love to see it expand somehow. Another negative would be the water pressure in the shower. Not as great as I'd like. Overall, I do recommend staying here for a short stay.

Food was amazing as it always is. My partner and I like to come here once or twice a month and they never disappoint. Tuesday steak night is by far our favourite and every entre is delicious!

It was my 3rd time to this place previous experiences was good, this time round we ordered garlic bread with cheese & chicken wings for entree. But was disappointed with the chicken wings only 3 mini wings for $14!! Parma & steak was good, but the confit duck was small in size. As we were seated at the bar area, most services are self service.

The best meal waitress were great highly recommend.. �

Absolute 5 star experience each and every time. Best family restaurant out west by the length of the Flemington straight. Best gnocchi and pomegranate cocktail I have had ever!

Excellent food and service! I understand some of the staff were contestants from Masterchef. I can say I ate at Gary Mehigans Boat House Cafe and he needs to have a good look at his own cooking staff absolute slop. Well done to the Plough hotel and staff

Food was excellent, service very attentive and friendly. A little noisy but expect that from a pub. Dining area well laid out and spacious, great place for groups. I would go back. Best hotel in the Footscray, Yarraville and Williamstown areas.

5 of us dined there for a Birthday. Food was excellent and service very attentive. A couple of entrees to share and then mains. A lot of craft beer on the menu and some hood victorian �. Next time in Footscray we will be back

Loved the food so fresh delicious. Best waiter who looked after us irish gorgeous guy. Hope he got his tip.

Consistently impressed by the meals. Every time I try something new it's my new favourite. Top it off the beers on tap are spot on

Amazing quality food, and they cook the best steak I've had in Melbourne. The wood fired pizzas are killer too. Highly recommended!

Dined with a few mates entrees of Crab Croquettes, Lamb Ribs and Grilled Haloumi followed by Flat Iron Steaks all around. Surpassed all expectations splendid entrees perfectly cooked steaks and friendly service to boot!

My partner, some friends and I had dinner here Saturday night. It was amazing! Very quick with taking our orders and the meals all came out within 20 minutes of ordering even though the seating area was almost full. Our waiter was friendly and happy to top it off. We will definitely return next time we are in the area

Great food & excellent service. Oysters & calamari were fresh & delicious, pepper & mushroom pie was filling. Finished with profiteroles, coffee expresso & baileys.
