Horse and Plough, Braddanback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
My final pub of the weekend. This pub has also been recently refurbished. It has a mixture of drinkers and diners. We sampled the Sunday roast. It was ok, but has apparently gone downhill of late. Live football was on the TV and there is a pool table. The light and airy conservatory is a nice addition Ales were Okells MPA, Bitter & Old Nick. Located in a housing area on the edge of a business park.

Poor show. Entire evening spoil by the manager insisting that we 'leave or not bother coming back' after happily taking our money well before the final round. Drinks left on the table and a bitter taste. Avoid at all costs

I wasn't expecting to have time to visit but spent a short while here during the day, taking the alternate route of bus no. 1 from lower Douglas and walking (15-20 mins) from the roundabout .
The place is big with interconnecting spacious rooms, one with large TV screen for sports and a pool table, also 2/3 quiet dining areas with tables and seating - a welcome feature for those who want to talk or just have a quiet spell. It was well patronised when I was there. I noted local Okells draught and Shepherd Neame, may be others. The small jacket potato with side salad I ordered when it appeared was considerably more substantial than its modest description had suggested.
Only enough time for a thumbnail sketch but the general impression was positive, the only potential negative for those not living or working locally is its being on the outskirts of town.

As of 10:49 12/11/2011 the gmap link on this page is wrong as it is directing to an address in Yangon, Myanmar (Burma) not to the pub's location in Isle of Man Business Park up the road from Spring Valley Industrial Estate on the Cooil Road, north-west suburb of Douglas, Isle of Man, British Isles! Currently bus #21 from Douglas Lord Street.
MerseyAle Winter 2011 (CAMRA Liverpool & District Magazine) records that **** the Isle of Man section of "The Good Beer Guide" for 2012 includes several new entrants, including The Horse & Plough (Bradden) ****, and that these will feature in future MerseyAles.

was very welcome and the food was great

Appalling service and disgusting microwaved food. An really awful pub on a business park.
