The Plough Harborne is an independent neighbourhood pub and coffee house on Harborne High Street. Retro details and a lively, informal atmosphere give it a distinctive character from breakfast through to late evening. A covered garden extends the space outdoors, while reservations and a substantial allocation for walk ins keep the pub accessible for both planned meals and spontaneous visits.
Brunch begins the day with cooked breakfasts, eggs, pancakes and lighter choices alongside coffee. The main menu then moves through hand stretched pizzas, burgers, salads and generous pub dishes. Toppings range from simple tomato and mozzarella to mushrooms, cured meat, roasted vegetables and stronger flavours such as nduja, allowing diners to choose between familiar and more adventurous combinations.
Larger plates include fish and chips, homemade chilli and seasonal dishes, while vegan and vegetarian recipes are developed as complete options rather than simple substitutions. The kitchen also serves Cuban style sandwiches and a children’s menu. Detailed allergen information is available, although guests with strict requirements should still speak directly with the team.
Sunday is built around roast beef, chicken, lamb or a vegetable wellington with roast potatoes, vegetables, gravy and traditional trimmings. A reduced daytime menu lets the kitchen concentrate on those roasts before the broader selection returns later. Wine, beer and cocktails make The Plough as useful for an evening drink as for a full meal, reinforcing its role as an all day Harborne gathering place.
Address: 21 High Street, Harborne, Birmingham B17 9NT, United Kingdom
