The Plough Harbone - Calzone

Having heard so much about this quaint little Harborne pub, I finally decided to give it a go to celebrate my exams finally being over!!

THE LOOK

I was so shocked by the size of my calzone when it arrived, it was MASSIVE!!! Definitely great value for money! I ordered the calzone with stilton and caramelised red onions and it was perfection. It came on a wooden block with a pizza cutter and with a rocket salad and drizzled with a herby butter. On weekdays between 12-5 they cost £8 (instead of the usual £12) and you get a free soft drink on draft. The calzone was the perfect golden baked colour and lovely and crispy with an expertly folded crust! For a cheeky celebration we ordered a bottle of Prosecco (£27.50) which was a bit more expensive than were used to but it went down well and made for a lush photo!

THE TASTE

This combination of fillings was the best calzone I've ever had. The strong taste of the stilton was a great accompaniment to the sweet caramelised onions. You get the basic tomato base with mozzarella and then you choose two more toppings. I was tempted to try the candied bacon as it's something I've never tried before but I think I've already found my perfect combination!! The only negative I can thing of is that the twisted crust was a bit too doughy and plain for my liking... The Prosecco was just to our taste (no too dry) and went well with the pizzas, a bottle we shall definitely be having again!

THE PLACE

The Plough has a modern, city, arguably American sort of vibe. Each table seems slightly different with metal chairs, wooden tables and drop glass lights. We were seated at the back of the restaurant and opened the french doors so the whole pub was opened to their beer garden. We were very jealous of these sitting outside, especially those under the far canape. There's a bar inside and out, where you order your food and the outside one even has sun cream for customers to use. The service was also great for out little celebration but make sure you all order at the same time so your food arrives all together. I really don't have a bad word to say!
