The Plough Inn, Winchmore Hill

I had Visited the Plough previously, and it has recently gone under a bit of a transformation.
It is under new ownership, They have stripped away all the stainless steel that had been clad around the bar and made the plough back into a cozy pub.

The food was fantastic, locally sourced, and fresh. For starters We tried the Carrot and orange soup, and the carpachio of vennison, which were both fantastic, great presnetaion, and the waiter told us where the main ingrediants had been sourced.

For mains, We had Featherblade of beef, which just melted in my mouth, and Seam bream with fennel, which again was perfectly cooked.

The desert menu was not as wintery as I would have liked, but did have a pear and apple crumble, with homemade honey and almond ice cream, which was devine.

At the end of the evening it turned out that our waiter was in fact one of the owners of the Plough "Kit" and "Sam"

Sam was delightful, he explained the orgins of all our food and wine, and the concept of the new buisness now called "the plough on the hill", he then convinced us into trying the british cheese plate, with an organic / bio dynamic port. (which means No hangovers adledgedly) This really did make our meal, and these items were not charged for. however we did have to promise to go back, Which is a promise i would be happy to keep.
