The rear car park has been astroturfed and furnished with pallet seating and gazebos (presumably temporarily) and this is where everyone was being directed to sit yesterday afternoon once they had ordered drinks at the perspex-protected bar. Premium lagers and gins seem to be order of the day here so I ignored the Doom Bar and Church End Goat's Milk handpulls in favour of the keg Redchurch Paradise IPA which was good enough (and cool) but wouldn't have won any prizes. paul_d102 - 14 Sep 2020 10:47 |
Nice village pub that is seemingly unchanged for years. All stone floors and little nooks and crannies inside. Three real ales on - including a never seen before effort from the Great Oakley Brewery. Food and service were both excellent and good value. A nice country Inn. Photos at my blog - http://bit.ly/2cEyX9c Mappiman - 11 Sep 2016 16:07 |
I have been going in here every few weeks for 20 years, and as others comment it has changed hands twice since it was rebuilt after burning down about 4 years ago, wasn't friendly to non-regulars then. However current proprietors are efficient , early evening it is good. The move of the bar into the front of the pub has been positive . The locals do like to sit in front of the bar ( dressed as farmers whether they are or not) , which is irritating , as it is in the nearby Carpenter's Arms. However the bar staff serve over their heads so be patient ! The draft beers are varied, has the usual bitters ( Bombardier, Spitfire etc) but lagers excellent such as San Miguel, Tuborg and similar that you don't always see. Prices ok too . Can't comment on the food but seems popular. Hope these proprietors stay there, as a pub to pop into for an hour it is very pleasant. Earlyeveningquietpint - 19 Aug 2013 15:10 |
My daughter Sophie and I stayed at the Plough for 2 nights on the 30/31st July. We were recommended by Washbrook Farm Equestrian at Aston Le Walls. We did not know what to expect, but it was absolutely fantastic! The staff are all amazing! Full of enthusiasm and nothing is too much trouble. The room was spotlessly clean and we had a double plus a single bed! There was a ceiling fan which was much needed after a hot day with horseys!! The beds were very very comfy too. Breakfast on the first day was cooked by Jen. She was so nervous that her breakfast would not be up to the standard of Chef! She should not have worried it was fantastic and just what we needed to keep us going through the day! We were invited out on the first evening but did book a table for the second. It was fish night as are most Wednesdays. I thought it would be fish and chips but I was so wrong! You could have fish and chips but you could also order Lobster in advance for a very reasonable price. There was a fantastic paella but I opted for the lemon sole with asparagus sauce new potatoes and salad. It was absolutely fantastic. I had cheeseboard for dessert which was a wonderful feast of delicious cheeses and chutney. I just wish I had a bigger appetite! Breakfast was cooked by chef the next day and was fantastic too but Jen is not far behind!!!! We absolutely loved our stay and we will definitely be back. We cannot recommend the Plough enough for its cleanliness, warm and welcoming atmosphere and fantastic food and wine. Well done guys and keep up the good work. xxxxx susanhall - 13 Aug 2013 13:26 |
We have been to the Plough a number of times for both a drink & for something to eat since the new owners took over back in February. Every visit has been most enjoyable. The pub has been fully refurbished & looks wonderful without losing any of its character. There is a good selection of real ales, lagers & ciders to choose from & we always get a warm welcome from the Landlords/Landladies who are a very friendly bunch. The food is good honest pub grub, every meal we've had has been delicious & the menu is very reasonably priced. The service is always quick even when the kitchen is busy. Some friends of ours stayed at the B&B & said the rooms had been refurbished to a high standard & the bed was the most comfortable they had ever slept in! It was also most reasonably priced & the full English breakfast kept them going all day!! Loulouboo - 22 Jul 2013 13:46 |
