The Plough isn't your average countryside pub. Sitting on a quiet lane in a quintessentially English village, The Plough was set to be sold off the developers when 120 members of the community came together to invest, and save, their local. After its purchase and renovation, the Yates family took over the kitchen and opened the pub's small, but proud, restaurant, Bowleys. Head Chef Alex Yates is still very early on in his career but though only in his early twenties, he has already spent two years in the kitchens at The Goring Hotel in London, as well as having gained experience with Rick Stein and even once cooking for the Queen. Bowleys menus have a traditional feel and adhere to classic, English fare with a fine dining twist. There are several options to choose between including a tasting menu, set lunch, a la carte, brunch and Sunday lunch. The tasting menu is the jewel in Bowleys crown and consists of five courses, with an optional sixth.

4 of us had a Sunday roast, 1 veggie and 3 meat dishes. The food was absolutely superb, plenty of vegetables and a fantastic creamy leak dish too. The result was 4 empty plates and 4 happy customers. The staff are all friendly and the Tepee was warm considering it’s made of canvas and the atmosphere was good. We’ll certainly return again in the future.
