    We had a wonderful time for Father's Day. Service was excellent and the Roast Beef was the best we have eaten in a very long time when going out for a Roast lunch. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    We live The Plough. Jake and team are excellent f and b specialists, but, this supper lacked the attention to detail we have previously experienced - perhaps because the main chef and front of house wasn’t there guiding us through the evening. Still, TP is one of the best pubs out there.
