The Bull, Troston

A quiet pub with nice, friendly owners. Not a vast menu but food is well prepared. Various activities, eg vintage cars. Very pleasant, do visit!

The Plough Inn, Icklingham

A very unpleasant incident occurred at this pub recently after a request for a jug of tapwater, for which there was a charge of �1. When we queried this the chef/owner(?) appeared and angrily explained why he was charging for a jug of tapwater - cost of lemons, ice, hot water for washing, dishwashing powder etc. I pointed out to him that approximately 30 of us were eating lunch and surely he could manage a free jug of water. He became even more angry and said that we were having a cheap meal (�12.50 for an indifferent main course and pudding). We had already bought various drinks at the bar. The incident certainly ruined my lunch and I and my friends will not be visiting the Plough again. This attitude is not the way to run a pub successfully.
