A fantastic Christmas day dining experience, all the staff were extremely attentive and entertaining and the food was delicious.
My requests for our fussy 4 year old were dealt with so well. The christmas decor was gorgeous and the table was set immaculately. Each place setting had a personalised menu, with each guests name on and dining choices, a lovely detail.
A special thanks to Emma who we booked with and emailed many times over the dining choices and details of the day. I can safely say, she made sure everything was perfect!

The restaurant is very cramped when busy. Tables are very close together and the dining area at the bar was too hot. Couldn’t really accommodate our dogs (even though advertised as dog friendly) as there was insufficient space. Food was good enough, service was friendly.

We visited yesterday for a family wedding and we were made to feel very welcome from the start. It is a super wedding venue and the staff were very organised and ensured that it all ran very smoothly.
One member of staff who stood out to us was Sophie. She was so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble for her. She served the canapés in a very efficient and friendly manner. The following morning ( today ) she served us with a delicious breakfast and was as helpful as she had been yesterday. She certainly stood out to us but I will add that all the staff worked efficiently and calmly throughout the day. Thank you for a lovely day xx

Excellent service, excellent food.
We booked a table for 12 for our walking group. We were welcomed in by friendly staff on time to a long table in the orangery - a lovely room. Drink orders were taken straight away and served promptly, and then our lunch orders taken quickly. The meals all arrived within half an hour of our arrival and everyone enjoyed their food. We'll certainly drop in again some time.

We booked a table for 17:30, but sadly our experience was ruined by terrible service. Two of our party arrived at 17:40 due to traffic, drinks were taken promptly on arrival, but from there it went downhill. We were left sitting in the corner with no service, having to get up and ask for our order to be taken—only to be told “no, sorry, you’ll have to wait, we have a gold package wedding function on and all our chefs are busy with that.” At no point during booking or on arrival were we told about this function, or how long the delay might be.
We ended up waiting 1.5 hours just to place an order, and during that time no one came over to offer us more drinks. When the order was finally taken, the attitude made us feel like we were an inconvenience rather than paying guests. The food arrived within 10 minutes, which was at least a relief as everyone was starving by then. Unfortunately, the wrong meal was brought out for me, so I had to wait again while everyone else ate.
For a bill of £134.50 on a Thursday night, I expected much better treatment. Two people in our group had never been to The Plough before, and sadly this left a very poor first impression. The food itself was average at best—burgers were dry, nothing special, certainly not worth the wait or the money.
Overall, a hugely disappointing evening. If wedding functions mean regular diners are pushed aside, customers should be told upfront so they can make other plans.

The room was clean and warm. The bed was comfortable.
We spent the night. As we were there for a wedding.
The wedding was conducted in the barn. Was all decorated with fairy lights and upstairs had a photo mirror with sweets for the kids.
The food was good and the service was great.
Breakfast the next morning was plentiful.
Would recommend the plough for a party or dinner for two.

What an outstanding place. I was taken here today by a friend who had been before and said how nice it was. Nice was not the word. Excellent out standing friendly, warm cosy, serving the most amazing food. I have eaten in a long time. The attention to detail on each course served was impeccable. Hot tasty, food, full of flavour and the cheese pie was the best I’ve ever eaten. You could tell that the staff really enjoyed working there from their mannerisms teamwork and their friendly helpfulness. I felt the love between them, who they worked for, and the venue. it was very busy with a wedding going on in the next room, but that didn’t stop the five star service and even went the extra mile with no problems. The desserts were also as delicious and the whole menu looked very appetising enough for me to need to visit again to try something else. I would highly recommend this place whether it be for a special celebration or just lunch for two and even though it’s a good 30 minute travel for me I will make the journey.

Very nice lunch. Husband had the game hotpot which he said was delicious. I had the fish pie - again, delicious - however, there wasn't a lot of fish in it and only one small prawn. Overall a nice meal, but the good service tailed off towards the end of our meal. We were going to have coffees but nobody came back to us to clear our plates and we had to go. I would visit again though.

What a fantastic time we had for our wedding in August 2022. All the staff were wonderful. The food was out of this world and everyone that came to the wedding all complemented the chief and all staff. The venue is fantastic and both me and my husband and all the guests had an amazing time. Thank you to everyone at The Plough Inn

Absolutely beautiful venue for my friends wedding! The decor was stunning and the food was amazing too. The bar and orangery were a lovely areas to sit and have a drink as well as the garden at the back. The toilets were some of the poshest/cleanest I have ever seen! Would highly recommend!
