Plough, Hyde Heathback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Cricket on the green, a pint of locally brewed beer (Malt Brewery}, bench table and umbrella, fresh fish and chips and somewhere to walk the dog, can I ask for more? On this return to The Plough, I see it is busier than ever, but weather was scorching hot. The first thing I noticed was how varied the customers were, there was literally a broad cross-section of people, young, old and suchlike. It reminded me of how pubs used to be, meeting places for local people, somewhere to catch up on the local gossip. Frankly, there is little that I can find to fault the pub, except perhaps the tired looking pictures on the gents toilet walls. The Plough is a cracker of a pub, one that has moved into the 21st century with the best attributes of the past couple. I give it 10!

Good old fashioned village pub with a nice variety of beers and lagers, at the time of posting they had Fullers London Pride and a Cornish ale Tribute. Food is typical pub grub, so not much to add here, the main thing that stands out is how well kept the pub is. All the brassware is spotless, no sticky tables and everything looks well cared for. There are some pretty walking areas locally, with views across the Chiltern Hills and old beech woods. Probably the best kept pub in the area.

the husband and wife team who own/run the place are just wonderfull, amazingly welcoming and lovely banter. the pub itself is a great village pub, situated ideally on the common, so its a great place for starting and ending some nice walks in the area. lots of nice country trimmings nice comfy feel inside. food was very nice, generous portions and the batter on the fish was probably the best batter ive had in a while. we will be back!

This is a nice little village pub selling 3 different real ales, it also has a small restaurant, the food is OK but nothing to write home about and the service, particularly in the restaurant, is not very attentive.

Very friendly village pub, perfect for a wholesome, good value pub lunch or simply a pint of real ale over looking the common.
The theme nights once a month are a real winner, tasty food and good value.

Best Landlord in 11 years. Graet pub atmosphere has returned after being missing for several years. Good pub grub and a good varied selection of real ales. Long may it continue!
