| Beermann's comments are about right. A fairly unexceptional pub, with a couple of real ales on - Lancaster Blonde was one, Black Sheep the other as I recall on my recent visit on 22nd Dec - in reasonable shape. Food is only at certain times, though that didn't bother me as only stopped for a beer. Big enough car park for any eventualities, and the pub is adjacent to the railway line, although the nearest station is Lancaster for those who like trains with their beer. Pub does not allow dogs.

| Nice old building on the main road through Galgate, the Plough is enhanced by a pleasant beer garden. Unfortunately the pub has gone the way of many in recent years and been converted in line with the dreaded 'country pub and dining' model. Pubs undergoing this transformation get blandly tarted up to give a degree of (imagined) sophistication, losing all the rough-around-the-edges charm of a traditional 'warts and all' workaday pub. The second big change is that food takes subtle precedence over beer, in that the atmosphere of the pub is altered (when serving my pint, the barman asked, "will you be dining with us?") It's not that the Plough doesn't serve cask ales. It does, but it's worth mentioning the prices are rather expensive (�3.30 for a pint, if I recall). beermann - 4 Sep 2011 16:56 |
