    The food was all outstanding, starters mains sides and dessert. Service was very friendly, but somewhat slow. Overall a really nice meal in a really nice pub in a really nice area. Would definitely recommend.

    Under very busy conditions The Plough did an amazing job. Great food, pleasant and welcoming service, lovely ambience. Service a little slower than usual, but fully understandable on a very busy Good Friday evening service. Well Done The Plough! Thank you!
