Plough & Harrow in East Cambridgeshire

Very tasty, service immaculate. Just a good wholesome roast dinner! Would go again if wanted a no trimmings meal 😊

My wife and I found this great pub last Friday whilst in the area and are glad we did. On arrival we received a warm friendly greeting from Sean (Shaun?) behind the bar and were made to feel welcome. We were there to eat and got a nice table by the window. The menu is extensive and very reasonably priced with, in my opinion, something for everyone. I chose the all day breakfast and my wife had a 4oz steak. Both arrived piping hot, well presented and tasted great. We have no complaints at all. We chatted to the landlady who came to clear the table and found her very pleasant and charming. All in all this is a very friendly pub with good food and drink that is well worth a visit. Two things which really suited us are the fact that the lunch service does not end until 3pm and that you can get 4oz steaks which cater for the smaller appetite.

We visited today and pub seems to be going through a refurbishment. Nice hostess very friendly awaiting new menu . not keen on pool table very old school would be better for sofas and relax dining and drinking while waiting to dine.

What an excellent pub - friendly atmosphere, great staff, excellent food and wonderful entertainment (what more could you ask for). We just happened to be passing and saw a sign out the front saying Ouse Valley Singles Club playing tonight so we thought we would go along and enjoy a live band and have a meal. Well let’s start with the meal that was just excellent homemade food (the pies are magnificent along with the hand cut chips) the band were just excellent (you could hear the band clearly over the instruments - they really gave it their all). But most of all I would have to say the staff and the regulars where so friendly they really made the night - we will definitely return.

We went with friends, my order ( due to severe allergy) was got wrong 3 times, eventually land lady rudely said ‘ if you had let the chef know we could have amended your meal’ to which I replied ‘ I did, 3 times and it’s still got what I am allergic to on the plate!’ Didn’t get any apology just told off for not letting them know; which we did 3 times!!! Rude service, rough pub with rough staff and regular clientele, cant recommend and wont be back

Patrick and Carol, the owners, have created a wonderful environment to go and enjoy a meal and a few drinks with family and friends. Their hospitality is second to none! They put on some fantastic social events and live music events (no wonder those who are barred go to every measure to try and get back in lol) Keep up the good work! Lovely place!

This pub has a excellent atmosphere! Children and families are made to feel extremely welcome. The new decor in the pub really adds character to it’s already vibrant personality. I would highly recommend this pub to all. A true village gem.

We use this pub when visiting relatives in the area.The welcome was warm and friendly.The food was very good.My sandwich contained a huge amount of Brie and bacon .It was delicious.My husbands jacket potato was smothered in delicious chilli. The atmosphere was pleasant as usual. Thankyou once again.We will see you later in the year

We fancied going somewhere different / a change. So rang just to make sure we could get a table. Very friendly welcome when we arrived and got some drinks and were shown to our table. The restaurant is small but the seating is not cramped. Ordered our food. When it arrived it looked fantastic, that’s to say that if you look on their website what you see in the pics is exactly what you get! We both had steak. Medium rare for me and the boss had well done 😤 I’ve got to say that it makes a change to get a steak cooked exactly how you ask for it. Spot on! The mushroom sauce was really nice 😉 lemon tart for my desert and my wife had white choclate moose, mmmmm felt like licking the plate but I was told to mind my manners. Saw the chef and complimented him on his expertise. Was pleased with the cost as well. Having finished our meal, we then took a look in the other part of the bar. As there was a karaoke going on we decided to have a couple of drinks and listen, and of course partake with a little vocal warbling. Needless to say we were taken in by the friendly atmosphere and stayed the whole evening and didn’t leave until (cough) late. 😂😂 I can thoroughly recommend the plough & harrow for a great evening. We will definitely be going again!!!

Very attentive staff, including landlords, serving good food which was well cooked. 'Interesting' wooden wall inside, not sure what that was about. A little pricey for a village pub, but overall a pleasant visit.

It was a quiet night when we went. At first, we thought we had it all wrong and was ignored but it was quickly rectified and the staff inc the landlord came over welcomed us. The food was nice and there was loads of it.

Very helpful staff and great food ..Available to answer any thing we were not shure about on the menu

Such a friendly pub,with great food! Does not look anything from the outside by do not be put off by this it is great 😀

We went here recently and the food served was delicious. Creamy mushrooms on a ciabatta (not a small serving either!). Then fish and chips. All homemade and you could really tell so top marks there. The atmosphere was bad though, rowdy people at the bar while we were trying to eat dinner. Completely ruined our experience and they should separate the bar from the diners as this wasn’t good.

A great pub with all home cooked food.iv been there twice both times the food was excellent, a great home cooked breakfast with all local produce and a great home made burger and hand cut chips. I wiĺl be going again at the week for the roast looks great, the home cheese is the best I've had in years. Great people good atmosphere, excellent food Matthew

In fairness the food was fine and the service good, but we unfortunately clashed with a mum and baby club ... having moved round to the bar side in the hopes of catching up with an old friend that I hadn't seen for several years, we were met with a rowdy bunch of men who thought they could sing and enjoyed aggravating us with the juke box very loud. These young men, some who worked for B&B; carpenters, were knocking back pints and even drove away in works vans from the pub. Definitely not somewhere to go for a quiet lunch. We felt extremely let down by the staff, as we were out of town visitors having chosen a half way point to meet. I see it's a family run business and my review is not consistent with others. I trust management will be as disappointed to read this as we were to have our day ruined

Great pub and serve amazing food! Always great staff to talk to and has beer garden and pool table!!

A warm welcome from a charming young lady.The service was good.My husband enjoyed his beer and chilli even though the later was a little mild.My house wine was drinkable,many aren’t.My lasagne was tasty and came with a nice salad,garlic bread and chips.

A nice pub to visit with family or friends. The band nights are always good fun and the place has atmosphere and is friendly.

Really enjoyed our meal here. Very friendly & attentive service. .Food was lovely, steak cooked as ordered. Very reasonably priced. Free bottle of wine was a lovely bonus. Perfect Friday evening for us. Shall be returning .

Had a roast there last Sunday great food and very friendly staff. I was sad to here constant swearing from a young lady by bar, felt happier when I herd Manager say something to her

Lovely home made food, great staff, good service! Perhaps could slightly separate the dining area from the bar and provide some mood lighting to give a more intimate dining experience? Mind you that's just my opinion - it's clearly a popular locals pub and that's what pubs should be. There is live music in the public bar on Saturdays from nine PM. Great if you like a lively atmosphere. We would visit again.

Excellent menu. Lunchtime snacks really good. Very friendly service and very reasonable prices. 3 real ales well maintained. Full sports package to view detached from the restaurant. Very dog friendly in main bar area.

I've been there once with a group of friends but I don't think that we'll go again... We waited too long for our meals and it end up tasteless as well

Parked outside and was sceptical of where we had arrived to as doesn't look very appealing from the front!

Visited for a quick evening meal with my partner. Service was exceptional, can't fault the owners, both very friendly and attentive. Food was surprisingly excellent, had hunters chicken and partner had half chicken. Freshly cooked, veg perfect and chips were homemade and very tasty. Not the place to visit for a cosy pub meal though - well frequented by the locals for watching sports and lighting/decor is more suited to a cafe (but not a greasy spoon as one other reviewer stated, that was just mean). If you don't mind slightly unusual decor you'll get a great meal at excellent value here and good customer service is worth a lot.

We had a very tasty lunch at a reasonable price. The starters of pate and prawn cocktail were really good. The garlic mushrooms were delicious but could have done with a few more mushrooms. The roast pork was excellent and served with fresh vegetables. The hunters chicken was also very tasty. We will be back soon.

We have visited here a few times since this has reopened. Each time the staff are friendly,polite,and provide good service. The food here is nice & good value for money. Looking forward to visiting more in the future

Having asked a few friends where the best place to eat in Littleport was they said the Plough & Harrow so we decided to give it a try.

This pub is under relatively new management and they seem all-out to impress. Visited in a party of six for a pre-Christmas meal and were not disappointed. We had a meal here several weeks earlier and decided it would be a good place for a larger group meet-up. The food was cooked to perfection and there was more than we could manage. We found three real ales being served but all four of us who went for ales found the Admans Ghost Ship on such giood form that we did not try the others! Landlord, landlady and staff were all keen to get their Christmas season off to a good start. There was live music in the other bar which could clearly be heard in the restaurant side. generally quite a lively pub.

Starter was decent. A garlic mushroom on toast. Could've been better: see Bruschetta con funghi at Pizza Express.

Been tonight, I had liver bacon onions, mash it was lovely. My wife had gammon egg and chips, the chips certainly looked hand made. Deserts were very good also.

I had a veggie option which was perfectly OK. My Mum had the roast turkey and said it was very good. The restaurant area is very small but nicely done out. Prices are very reasonable.

Great meal with a excellent service it's great to see this back as a traditional pub again after all these years . Staff very friendly and helpful will definitely be coming back.

Visited Plough and Harrow tonight for the first time. Excellent value for money in fact couldn't finish main meal as had starter. Staff very friendly and welcoming nothing was too much trouble as one meal had to be gluten free. Will certainly visit again.

We really enjoyed our meals. Mixed grille was excellent, plenty of quality meat, including an exceptional sausage. Only complaint from the wives that there was to much to handle. Sweets were delicious . Great atmosphere and service. Thank you

first visit to this pub after living in Ely for 30 years,went for lunch on Friday lunch time,pub was empty but food was excellent,i can recommend the ham egg and chips,reasonable price and cooked well,two eggs and moist ham. Definitely visit again.

Had a great breakfast this morning. The Coffee is really good and the Sausages were delicious in fact it was all very tasty. My husband says one of the best breakfasts ever 😊 Nice clean pub, great staff, dog friendly Worth a visit

Vegetable soup was luke warm very bland and extremely thick, Cottage pie had no flavour at all and Bakewell had hard pastry and slighlty burnt on top and the tiniest scoop of ice cream compared to the huge amount of cream that came with the other guests. All in all a disappointment, would have actually complained if we were not with friends who had recommended you. Such a shame as was so looking forward to our meal. The girl who served us was however excellent and very professional. And i might add 1 other person complained about their meal and 1 sent theirs back.

Ate at The Plough on Saturday night. One of the best meals this side of Ely and an excellent selection of ales. Highly recommend

Very good meal, very fair prices for both food and drinks which is a rare thing these day's. The staff were very pleasant and accommodated my exchange of new potatoes instead of chips with no hassle at all.I had a highly recommended rainbow cheesecake of just the right portion size.

Looking forward to Sunday Roast. Ordered prawn cocktail for starters which was very tasty and butter not margarine on the bread. Very nice. Unfortunately we had to wait an hour after finishing our starter before we got our roast beef lunch. Just as we were about to leave our meal arrived. Horseradish and gravy was brought but no salt or pepper which would have been good. At this point we were grateful for the food so didn't bother to ask. Beef was good, potatoes were good, vegetables lukewarm, Yorkshire puddings more like muffins and undercooked. Use equal parts of egg, milk, and plain flour, season to taste and you will never fail. Waitress I think her name was Stacy was very polite and apologised for the wait but it was too little too late. Extremely unlikely we will visit again. Good luck for the future.

Went to Plough and Harrow last night in it's most recent reincarnation. The staff seemed friendly and efficient. The menu is the usual family pub affair, consisting of the old favourites, proporting to be homemade. We had as starters, pate and relish with toast, and prawn cocktail, both were tasty, however it was slightly underwhelming and would have benefited from toast that was not from a sliced loaf. We continued with gammon steak with hand cut chips, these were very thinly sliced, and I was sceptical, however they were excellent, and a change from usual presentation.I chose the cod and chips, accompanied by mushy peas and hand cut chips, I was disappointed by the cod, it was of small portion and appeared not to be hand processed, it did present as being something one could purchase from frozen food specialists. I often have fish and chips from other establishments, and this was frankly underwhelming.

Now under new ownership, the Plough and Harrow is just what is needed in Littleport.
