  • Good for special occasions
Set in the picturesque village of West Hanney,This beautiful thatched pub offers great british pub classics, and small plates, with a vibrant pub atmosphere. This community owned business has new tenants who have been lucky to win a fair few awards in their time.
The Plough is the ultimate country pub and offers an incredible atmosphere and dining experience. Housed in a stunningly thatched public house, customers can choose to eat in the beautiful eatery, in the cosy bar by the fire or in the beautiful sun trapped garden.
With a passion for supporting farmers, the kitchen sources food from the very best local farms, knowing where each item comes from, from farm to plate.

    Lovely looking pub with a classic menu done well. We both had Fish & Chips which were very good. I swapped my fat chips for skinny fries and my partner was jealous.

    Possibly the best roast beef I've ever had at a pub. And I've had a few! Really lovely spot, highly recommended.

    On arrival we were shown a table for two located in the entrance to the Restaurant and under the stairs. Totally unsuitable and were told this was the table that had been reserved for us. We declined the table and were subsequently shown into the main restaurant where there was a table available. Not a good start!!! Thankfully the staff and service were excellent and the food was superb. We enjoyed our visit.
