This place appears to be approaching the terminus of its downward spiral. Deserted by all bar a few misfits with behavioural problems. We stopped for a pint, got the American Werewolf in London treatment and walked out. What is the point? Not recommended. Will be a residential house before long and all the better for it.

I was cycling through Datchworth on Saturday afternoon and stopped at the crossroads for a car. Someone bellowed 'w@nker! at the top of his voice and when I looked round, there was a guy in a red vest standing in the doorway of the Plough clutching his beer who then stuck his chest out and shouted 'Come on then!'.
Always looks empty, and with management permitting behaviour like that, it is no wonder.

Now sold by Greene King to a local landowner, has reopened as a free house and is run by the team that runs the Our Mutual Friend in Stevenage.
Beers are Buntingford Highwayman, Redemption Trinity and one other.

Visited on 31/10 to avoid the trick or treaters at home... Delightful cosy and friendly atmosphere. Staff were friendly. No clicky local types dominating the bar - can't wait to visit again!

this pub has it all! firstly the ale, the IPA is as good as the best i have tasted. i asked the barman about the hardy & hansons (3.9 abv), it's a tasty brew originally brewed in nottinghamshire & now produced under the auspices of greene king, also a fine pint. l reccomend this ale house for its well kept beer, friendly, welcoming barman & locals, clean, fresh appearance & splendid log fire. keep up the good ambiance & please stay open on sundays after 4pm - ill be passing through again!

Recently taken over by new landlord/landlady, but still preserving the cosy village pub atmosphere. Greene King IPA and Abbot served.
New tenants are keen to maintain the traditional nature of the pub but will probably do some upgrading in time. Currently there are no plans to serve food, but this might change as the new management settles in.

some old boys playing cards every session , good well kept beers , jovial landlord , this pub is one of a fast disappearing breed , no food just a classic atmosprere

The plough is a tiny little village pub exactly how you would wish pubs were still these days. Very pleasant & friendly landlord and regulars. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit recently where we sat in the little bay window for an hour surveying the whole of this one street chocolate box village.
Toilets are clean if needing updated , and the whole pub could do with a lick of paint, but if I were to choose between this fab pub as it is, or a clinical chain pub, the plough at datchworth would win hands down.

The Plough is a little gem.
A genuine front of parlour village pub - almost the last of the few in Hertfordshire. Enjoy whilst you can.
Very small, cozy and well supported by friendly village locals.
Green King IPA kept to perfection.

An honest, friendly, local village boozer with good beer, unlike the pretentious "inn" on the corner with their couldn't care less attitude. Guess which is the one to avoid !!
