5 star rating Sunday lunch. Absolutely superb traditional Sunday lunches. My rare beef was as delicious as I have ever eaten - and I am 83 years old so I have eaten quite a few. All members of our party raved about their different dishes. Cheerful and efficient service. Return planned. -

5 star rating Thaitastic What a brilliant combination - old fashioned pub (not a juke box or fruit machine in sight) with a great atmosphere, a pint (or three) of delicious Harvey's, the best Thai cuisine locally and a warm reception from the friendly staff -

5 star rating Family lunch on my wife's birthday Excellent service from confident and friendly staff. The lunch was simply sensational. We were a group of 5 adults with a small child and the quality of each meal was very good indeed. We had a mixture of Thai and English dishes and a few beers. -

5 star rating An absolute treat ! How lovely it was to step inside this beautiful tavern - warm and cosy - and doing a good trade on a Friday winter’s lunchtime !
Really lovely food - very fresh and well presented - there’s even a very extensive Thai menu to run alongside traditional pub classics.

Yes we would return !

5 star rating Fantastic pub with warm atmosphere 🍷 I am a frequent visitor to the Plough with both friends and my family and always enjoy my time there. My husband, son and I often go for Sunday lunch and we are always impressed by the quality of the food and the service. The staff often go out of their way to ensure my 2 year old son is happy which always helps us have a relaxing lunch too! On one occasion our waitress ensured my son’s lunch came quickly in order to keep him amused as she could see he was hungry so that my husband and I could enjoy a glass of wine with some peace!

I often visit with friends in the evening too and am always greeted with a smile and good chat over the bar with the great staff which keeps me continuing to arrange to meet my friends there.

Thai food is exceptional and the best around in the area to eat in or takeaway which is not good for my waistline!

Everyone should visit this pub, you won’t be disappointed.

5 star rating More than a real country pub! My husband is very fussy about his beer and says this pub offers the best pint of Harvey's he's ever tasted. He was tempted by the landlord to try a pint of "Mother in Law" apparently its half a normal Harvey's and half Harvey's Old Ale", he's now a convert! The food on offer is far better than any pub grub! During the day there is an array of mouthwatering plates that would not be out of place in a top London restaurant and during the evening there is superb authentic Thai food that is outstanding. Apparently Wednesday night is steak night, which we are yet to sample but I'm sure it wouldn't disappoint. The Sunday lunch is to die for but I would advise to book a table if you want to eat as its always busy. You can choose to eat in the restaurant area or bar area. Lots of the food and drink is sourced from local business'. Dogs are welcome in the bar area, so you don't have to leave your 4 legged friend at home.

We visited on Saturday lunchtime and as expected there were lots of people who had been there since early that morning as they televised the England/New Zealand rugby on the TV. Everyone was in great spirits without being rowdy. It was a great pleasure to see the local trail hunt and the hound pack turn up in the car park as they made a pit stop. All the riders were very friendly and chatty and we were encouraged to get among-st the hounds and give them a good old fuss! It was a baptism of fire for our Lakeland puppy's fellow dog socialisation, but the hounds were very gentle with him.

The only thing that spoilt our visit was the appearance of some hunt saboteurs who were I have to say, very aggressive towards everyone! The Rugby crowd combined with the riders and general "punters" managed to evict them from the car park by singing a very loud rendition of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot"

If you're looking to experience what a real British country pub has to offer then this is the place to go. From the moment you walk through the door you are greeted with a very warm welcome form not only the staff but other customers. It has a real vibrant atmosphere without being intrusive and every-time we visit we have always been welcomed with open arms and a smile.

Visited this week with a walking group, previously booked in with close idea on numbers lunching. Not our first visit and we will be back for sure!
Very friendly atmosphere with a good welcome.
I believe that everyone enjoyed their lunches, which more or less came out together. Full marks to the team.

4 star rating Went for a quick Sunday lunch Went for a quick Sunday lunch with a friend , I own a pub myself so I always like to sample various pubs for lunch .
The pub is gorgeous , really old English quintessential English with beams , open fire etc,
Walked in and 3 people who worked there didn’t smile or acknowledge us standing at the bar which was when they opened , the lady with dark hair could have been the landlady was great , took our drinks orders and asked us where we would like to sit .
Food was delicious , we had a roast beef , chicken and leek pie and a sponge pudding and custard .
Can’t fault it , it was absolutely delicious !!!
I would definitely recommend going here, girls could smile and say hello to any customer who walks in , and the other thing is it’s a bit cold the other side of the restaurant to the fire .. maybe that side could be lit ?
But I’d definitely return !

I'm probably a little biased as I only live down the road but you'd be hard pushed to find a better pub. With friendly staff, great food and welcoming locals (I would say that) it's a great place to meet up with your friends. Whenever I tell people where I live they always say "You're near the Plough, aren't you lucky! We love it there" Enough said. -

Fantastic times and plenty of good memories from The Plough over the years, all made possible by the friendly welcoming atmosphere and staff team who are 100% part of enriching the atmosphere. Best pub for food around and the area. -

4 star rating Very Nice Lunch We called in for lunch after a visit to Chartwell, it was quite crowded, good sign, welcoming staff.
I had a very good burger, slightly rare, beautifully seasoned. Just salad which was nice. My Mum had ham egg and chips that she enjoyed.

4 star rating Booked a table for nine. When Booked a table for nine. When we arrived, we seemed to wait a very long time to be recognised, and when we were it took a long time for the waitress to bring a small basket of crackers to the table to whet our appetite whilst ordering. This was despite the restaurant not being overly busy, and other diners were being served prior to our table. This wasn’t too much of an issue, but we then waited again for our orders to be taken, and then waited again for our starters. Having said that, the food, when it did eventually arrive, was of good quality, with ample portions and nicely presented. The experience for the whole evening was that they were disorganised, but the food was good. Overall a nice restaurant but a bit let down by the sporadic customer service. Hence, four stars rather than five. I would still recommend this venue... -

5 star rating Sunday Lunch Loving the roast beef for Sunday lunch.
Served up with asparagus, carrots, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and lashings of yummy gravy.
The chef, Fern, has not produced a bad meal yet.
Always a must for a Sunday.
