The Plough Inn is a very old pub complete with wooden beams. But tall people need to remember to duck when walking through. The staff are all lovely and very accommodating. The quality of the food is excellent and there is plenty of it in each portion. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the Inn is used by local people, but also people like us who have come quite a distance. We were recommended by friends and we were certainly not disappointed.

When we arrived we were sat right opposite the disabled toilet with the door left open, one of the kitchen staff went in there and he was still in there when we asked to move, I can only imagine if we had stayed seated there. When we did move our food turned up within 5 minutes, it was clearly microwaved and below average. We couldn’t wait to leave, it total we were in and out in less than 30 minutes
Very disappointed and won’t be visiting there again.

Excellent Salmon cooked to perfection, delicious selection of vegetables, with new potatoes. Beautifully presented too.
Good service and warm friendly atmosphere in this traditional 1600s pub/restaurant.

Looking forward to not cooking and having a roast cooked for me and the other half .
Very disappointing. It looked very nice when it was served .
I had chicken . It was like sawdust . Yorkshire Pudding like a bit of cloth . Vegetables o k . My other half had Beef , it was tough and tasteless. Potatoes tasteless . the vey veg was o k . The only part of the meal that was hot was the veg .
It was so cold in the extended part of the building I had to eat my meal with a thick coat and scarf on . Overall a very disappointing experience .
