The Plough is a traditional village pub located in the beautiful setting of Great Chesterford which is situated on the glorious North Essex/South Cambridgeshire border. There has been a pub on this site for over 150 years serving the local communities and acting as an eating and drinking point for people visiting the local attractions including Newmarket, Saffron Walden and Duxford Air Museum. The current owners Samantha and Simon insist on the highest levels of hospitality where the food is freshly prepared, the drinks selection extensive and everyone is offered a warm and friendly welcome.

This was my first time visiting The Plough. The food was great and well presented. Added to that it was delicious. The summer risotto was one of the nicest I have tasted - great flavour and good bite. Drinks great and very pleasant staff. Perhaps they need to be updated on the menu items. That said , the experience was lovely and will certainly return. Thanks.
