As with the previous reviewer, I’d seen quite a few posts on social media since this pub had been taken over and decided to give it a shot based on them. I’m pleased to say I’m so happy I did! Myself and my partner visited for Sunday lunch on a bit of a gloomy, drizzly delightfully English day. Inside the pub was cozy, warm and surprisingly naturally bright.
Service was excellent throughout, from the moment we stepped through the door until we left, we were made to feel welcome and were taken care of in that incredibly tricky way of staff being incredibly attentive without being over bearing and making you feel rushed.
The food was the absolute highlight though! Some really interesting dishes on the menu nestled in among some firm favourite classics. Madras chicken wings and the Veal and bone marrow bolognaise as starters were fantastic. Simple, but great honest cooking.
We both had roast beef for the main and whilst it’s not as good as my mums, it comes a very close second! It’s not often I get a plate of food put in front of me that I can’t nitpick at, but this was perfect! Presentation, portion size, flavour all spot on!
By the time we’d stuffed our face with desserts, the pub was nearing on full with a great atmosphere and feel to it.
Congratulations to the new management, you’ve got a great place which I hope will be incredibly successful! And, as your prices are very reasonable, I look forward to being able to come back often. - 05/02/2026
We have been living in England for one year now and this was by far the best food we’ve had in England! We were so impressed and are really happy that it’s in walking distance to home! A massive cheers to the new owners! x - 28/11/2025
Booked a table for last Friday evening for a meal. Staff were friendly & service was good. I had the calamari starter, grilled aubergine for main & sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The food was really delicious for both of our meals. The atmosphere in the pub was great. Will definitely return to this lovely country pub to try more food on the menu. Would highly recommend this pub to others. - 29/01/2026

Perfect to celebrate our daughter’s birthday, atmosphere is homely, warm and welcoming with the staff going above and beyond to cater for all ages in the group. Roast dinners were lovely, plenty to eat - we had the lamb and pork which was perfectly cooked. Thank you to Donna and Brandon for making it extra special bringing their cake out and being so accommodating - 08/02/2026
When here for a cheeky spot of lunch mid January and I couldn’t be happier. I had heard this place had been taking over just before Christmas and you can really tell the difference. Food was out of this world and the menu had a great choice on it from pub classic to more daring dishes.Myself and wife loved every dish and will definitely going back.
I would say book as we were lucky to get a table and the place soon filled out.
Will definitely be a place I go back to. - 30/01/2026
Lovely pub staff were friendly and the food was amazing had the fishfinger sandwich. Which was plentiful, would defo return, - 12/03/2026
The new owners of The Plough, Jason & Stacey, have just completed a briliant refurbishment of this cosy, traditional Pub. It now serves a range of British freshly cooked, resonably priced food, prepared with a twist. Great table service in the tastefully designed restaurant area and still space for drinks with friends in the bar area or by the open fire - 30/11/2025
Popped in for lunch and what can I say what a lovely pub, friendly service and amazing food packed with flavour. Defiantly recommend for anyone passing or planning a pub classic meal out. Can enjoy your drinks or food by the open fire in these cold months. - 30/01/2026
Had a fantastic lunch there yesterday - the lamb shoulder. Highly recommend. - 14/12/2025 
Sunday roast was amazing. We shared a belly of pork platter. Would have liked dessert but was too full but definitely next time as they are all home made. Atmosphere was warm and friendly. - 19/11/2025
What an absolutely outstanding experience at the newly reopened Plough Inn! From start to finish, the meal was exceptional. Huge congratulations to Stacey and Jason and the entire team for crafting such an impressive menu showcasing beautiful local produce. Every dish felt thoughtful, fresh and full of flavour.
We’re already counting down the days until our next visit! 😊 - 15/11/2025
The food we had was delicious and the staff were extremely friendly. There was a log fire burning and it was so cozy on a rainy afternoon. Good selection of food and drink and we will be back to try the Christmas menu when it starts in December. 10/10 experience. - 29/11/2025
We had a lovely Sunday lunch. The mon meaty option was very good and tasty and cooked with fresh local product and the Sunday roast (beef) was fantastic. Had another lunch solo and the burger is very tasty and quality home made local food. Great to have this pub as a local and will definitely be back. - 21/11/2025
Second visit to the Plough for something to eat and superb yet again. Menu is a "spoilt for choice" experience. Scrumpets were a delight and then the pork cheek ragu. I wasn't able to manage a dessert as promised myself that the Scrumpets had to be repeated.
Superb lunch, great staff and ambience. Definitely going to be returning and highly recommended for anyone looking for something different compared to the usual tired pub menu.
Still a pub to be enjoyed too.
Open fire that warmed the cockles on a wintry day.
Well done all
From a very happy and full to the brim customer. - 09/01/2026
What a fantastic pub, serving great food with amazing service. The atmosphere is welcoming, a beautiful traditional pub. Absolutely worth visiting! - 23/12/2025
If I could give 10 Stars I would. We have been there before, it was nice, but since the new owners took over, the food has been exceptional. Top class menu!!! We have been back weekly and it’s become our local now for special occasions or just a Friday night out. The service is also incredible!!’ What a massive turn around - top class. Would recommend it!!!! - 29/01/2026
This place is a wee gem!! Such a lovely warm & friendly atmosphere. The staff are so welcoming & helpful. Will definitely be back - 03/12/2025
My wife and I went to The Plough on Friday for lunch as we knew it had reopened under new management. We were greeted by attentive staff and had beautifully prepared food. The menu would cater for all tastes and we were spoilt for choice! The fact that ingredients are sourced locally is an added bonus. We will certainly be back!! We wish the new management every success. - 23/11/2025
New owners and food really is outstanding. Highly recommend and can’t praise the quality of the food more. Very exceptional! - 22/11/2025
On a trip down memory lane having been a Plough regular in the 60s, when there was no food served bar pickled eggs and crisps, and a stilton in the bar for the favoured few at Christmas. In this renewed guise The Plough most certainly didn't disappoint! Layout is terrific, retaining the cosy feel and a great atmosphere. Such an interesting and diverse menu, our lunch was perfect, great service, and would definitely recommend. - 24/11/2025
Highly recommended Food was outstanding
staff very friendly
Will definitely be returning for more delicious food
Can’t wait - 07/01/2026
Lovely atmosphere and incredible food my compliments to the chefs! - 28/12/2025 
1st time here. Lovely country pub. Service was great. We had the homemade pie which was delicious but having it with one bit of Carrott, scoop of mash and not much kale was disappointing. Maybe consider just a little more veg as it was also delicious. Lovely place. - 29/11/2025
Booked in for a group of 30 in for late lunch. Fantastic meal we had game pie, great service and an enjoyable atmosphere. Great selection of wine and beers too. - 04/02/2026
A special anniversary lunch from London turned into beautiful surprise. Delightful staff warmly welcomed us into this cosy pub. The food was so omg delicious and creative that we ordered most of the starters! Absolutely fantastic - each one! A perfect experience. Thank you so much! - 17/01/2026
A great place. Changing hands soon so Thai food may go. - 06/09/2025 If you have any further enquires or would like to make a booking
