Lovely food, great service - very nice indeed. Interesting wine list - and obviously great beer (Youngs plus several guest ales). Well worth a visit if you haven't been - if you have already dined there - you will be bak again!!

We went to The Plough for my birthday dinner tonight and had a lovely evening. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious without waiting too long. We were also pleasantly surprised to be given a complimentary glass of Prosecco each as it was my birthday. An extra treat was the gorgeous pub dog Ruby, a docile and gentle cockapoo who wandered around the place checking all her guests were taken care of, and not begging for food once. Thoroughly recommend!

Always thought this pub was just really for locals, but was in the area so decided to book a table, food was lovely! Fish was amazing and so was the liver! I was in my element with over 30 Gins to try. I would 100% recommend!

Go to the Plough quite regularly and find it very welcoming and a great atmosphere. The quality of the food is good and its good to be able to have a meal where you can hear the other people at the table no annoying back ground music. If there is one bit of positive feedback I can give is they need to recognise that people that are Gluten Free are becoming more common and need to have more choice especially when it comes to the sweet menu.

Usually visit here on a week day, so did notice the restaurant was much busier on a Sunday - only to be expected. However, the food and service were, as usual, all excellent.

Food was very good, as was the service. It was very busy but then it was a Sunday lunchtime so although the service was very good especially given the amount of people dining, it was quite noisy. We had a large, quite loud party of about 12 next to us which didn't help but hey - we're glad they had a good time. It's nice to hear happy people even if we did have to try hard to hear each other talk! Thank you for a really good meal and service.

My food and other two diners with us said food was good but my husband said his fish - as in fish and chips - was 'on the edge' with a slight taste of amonia. Because of very slow service had to swallow our drinks quickly and get out before 3.30.
