The Plough in Mountnessing - Wonderful in Every Way

Making up for lost time, Four Go to Lunch in Essex ventured out again on 12th March 2014 this time to The Plough in Mountnessing. And what an inspired choice it turned out to be. The decor is stylish and the welcome very warm. Smiling faces are always a big plus for us!

The lunch time menu is extremely varied and is set at £9 for one course, £10,95 for 2 courses & £15 for 3 courses. All of us have a sweet tooth so opted for a 2 course of mains followed by dessert. Dennis had the superb dish of the day which was a chicken, ham & mushroom pie, with creamy mash & selection of steamed fresh vegetables; Michael went for a succulent belly pork on a bed of apple mash with green beans; Rita had salmon fish cakes with a dressed salad & tartar sauce and Sue had a very tasty ham, cheese & mushroom omlette with a dressed salad & chunky chips. All meals were very well presented and tasted sublime. Desserts included 2 x stick toffee pudding with banana ice cream, 1 x Baileys Irish coffee brulee with chocolate & walnut biscotti and a fabulous blackcurrant cheesecake concoction with a hint of ginger.
 

This must be one of the best value for money venues we have visited - with the bill for 4 including drinks was only £63. We highly recommend this lovely restaurant and would not hesitate to award our highest accolade of 6 stars
