Great service and lovely food and wine. Perhaps a little loud for us, but still enjoyable

This is a delightful pub, with good lighting, superb food and great, friendly service. We shared the monkfish Wellington special and it was sublime. It could have done with a tiny bit less salt, but otherwise it was perfection, the flavours of the vermouth, the nicely seasoned pomme purée and the jus went so well together and we felt the concept of a non-beef Wellington was exciting and bold. And it worked!! Paired it with a very nice Chenin blanc. Our antipodean waitress was quirky and charming and service was excellent. We shall definitely be back!

Absolutely fantastic Valentine's evening meal. Warm welcome followed by exceptional service from all staff throughout the meal, our waiter was incredibly polite and just the right amount of attentive. The food at the Plough was next to none, we visited before for a Sunday roast and I've never had a better roast beef. This visit was no exception, beautifully cooked meat and fish dishes served with fresh seasonal veg and perfectly balanced sauces. The crab cocktail starter was a particular showstopper, and the banana parfait was unique yet delicious. I noticed lots of awards above the cosy fireplace by our table, I was surprised not to see a Michelin! An absolute gem in a rural location, well worth the drive or a taxi home. We will be back again.

Came for lunch to celebrate a birthday. Attentive service and beautiful food. Recommendations were spot on, and we were (rightly) advised when we had ordered enough dishes, as we could easily order more if we needed to, which we didn’t! Although not cheap, we considered the meal good value, and will definitely return. Thank you!

We were celebrating our daughter's birthday (as we do every year at S&S). Staff were attentive and everything was explained well. The food was beautifully presented, as always and arrived freshly made for us. The staff then gave my daughter a little birthday cake with candle which was a touching thought. Thank you for helping us keep the tradition alive! Being a Monday Evening it wad a little quiet but the staff had arranged diners well to give the illusion of a busier dining experience.
