   I really don’t like leaving disappointing reviews but I have to say this is the first time we have eaten at The Plough and I don’t think we will return. The meat was overcooked and overall you was very poor food wise. Service was ok. Dining area was too bright all main lights on didn’t set a nice dinner setting. No music just the din of people talking and the food sadly was below average tough dry meat was not worth the money at all 😔

   Service was VERY slow. Waiter and waitresses were lovely but the chef’s attitude was appalling. We had Sunday roast and was only given 2 potatoes each so I asked the waiter if we could have another potato each. The waiter asked the chef and he said NO. Can you believe it. What sort of customer service is that?! The food we had was nice except the cauliflower cheese. The few florets we had were swimming in a water soup of cheese sauce which was not browned off on top. Disappointing!

   The Plough has had a very high spec makeover since our late visit. Food great, service good. Very much worth a visit.

   Lovely Sunday lunch. We Pre booked a table in the bar area, but then decided to eat in the restaurant, the change was no problem to the staff who were very nice & friendly. Would definitely recommend & will return to try the main menu another day.

   A very welcoming atmosphere with lovely food - thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday lunch, and our three year loved the colouring book while we wanted for our food. Very child friendly

   Really lovely meal at the Plough. Great menu choice if you want good old pub food. Really well priced and absolutely delicious. Staff were welcoming. Would recommend.

   Everything was was lovely; our second visit and we will look forward to returning. One comment, the pescatarian, vegetarian or vegan main menu options were limited and of those, unfortunately some were not available on the night. However, we still thoroughly enjoyed the evening and recommend the Plough.

    Disappointed. I had previously looked at the Sunday roast menu on line and liked what I saw. On arrival the only roasts available were beef and pork. We do not like pork and I found the beef tough for my 89 year old teeth. There were none of the alternatives that were shown on the on line menu such as a stuffed lamb shoulder and lamb loin. Re the pudding menu, there were only two sugar laden sweets available; chocolate brownies and sticky toffee pudding, which we all declined. However the starters were excellent. The children's menu was minimal - only fish and chips or junior roast beef neither of which appealed to 3 grandchildren. Dickie Feakes
