Good food (but not exceptional) and service as always but at £80 a couple it’s just too expensive. The restaurant/pub was quiet, the decor nothing special.

Lovely pub, nicely decorated but our tables were between the door to the garden that kept opening and the ladies' toilet. Service was OK but waiters didn't know about the cut of beef when we asked about it. Within 5 minutes of ordering, our food arrived. Disappointingly, the food was tepid warm and the beef was grey and very unappetising. It had the feel of being warmed up rather than just being cut off the joint. The vegetables too, were warm and 'warmed up' rather than fresh. The manager assured us the (roast) beef had been COOKING FOR 24 HOURS??? and was fresh and the vegetables were freshly cooked. Would love this to have been a new pub to put on our list but would definitely not go back as the food was so poor.

Lovely food, but especially impressed with service. Super young waiter, with a great eye for detail. When I asked for no bread with my Irish Stew he asked whether it was because I was gluten free or just didn’t want bread. Also, liked the fact that we could choose which, and how many cheeses to have on the cheese board. Good stuff!

Really enjoy the Plough the only thing and its not just the Plough my wife is Gluten Free and when it comes to Puddings there is a lack of choice and she normally end up with a scoop of icecream.

The atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. The Sunday Roast was excellent the only down side being my wife is Gluten Free so apart from the Ice Cream did not have a choice of Dessert. However The Plough is not alone it is general for the majority of establishments not to offer Gluten Free Choices, Would definitely go again.

Beautiful meal at the Plough. Food absolutely delicious and service impeccable. Vegetarian wellington with spinach and Brie accompanied by roasted beetroot. Triple cooked chips to die for and a hearty fish pie with greens. First class food with a huge variety of choice on the menu.

I cannot sensibly rate The Plough on a scale from 1 to 6 without being told whether 1, or 6, represents the top mark. But I can say that we enjoyed the food and the service.

It is really good to have a local pub that we can recommend as this area has been poorly served for decent venues. We enjoyed a Sunday roast last week and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch - longmay it continue.

A very nice country pub, cosy and very pleasant. Food was amazing, well presented and very tasty, with a good selection in the menu + specials - a fantastic place to eat! I was driving that evening so had but one beer, it was fresh and excellent. Friendly staff and the pub is dog-friendly too!

Food was OK, but wouldn't go back to try anything else on the menu. It was very cold in the restaurant area, so found it hard to relax. Not much in the way of atmosphere. Staff are very efficient. Nice to have Ruby the dog wandering around, she was delightful.
