The Plough, Dulwich

Had a good spell for a couple of years in 2009/10, the quiz hosted by the American guy was excellent, but in the last 10months it's gone seriously downhill. Unstocked fridges/bar mid afternoon on a Friday, food choices have really dipped from what was a really good varied menu, and you're lucky if you get it served in reasonable time.

Shame, used to really like the place and it was our nearest pub, but it never fails to disappoint these days.

Avoid at all costs on Sunday lunchtimes. 1hr wait for food after ordering, no updates/reason given and we had to ask, all vegetables pretty much cold once the food arrived, forgotten table water and bread, and they still whack on the 10% service charge. No warning that the wait would be that long either.

Too many kids as well, it becomes very loud; I suppose that could be a good/bad thing depending on if your group has kids or not, but like others have said it's pretty much a nursery. Be warned that they squeeze in as many tables as possible on the right as you enter.

Nice rioja, but that's about it.
