Plough Inn in Rushcliffe

Once is enough. Not a particularly well done version of a country pub. One real ale, which was not well kept, 45 minute wait for food, 2 skinny bits of beef for sunday lunch, stuffing so hard we couldn’t cut it, old roast potatoes, green veg that was inedibly under-cooked, yet a cauliflower cheese that was a mush but insipid, without seasoning or cheese. We didn’t finish much or hang around to try anything else. We just fancied a pub Sunday lunch after a walk by the river. We didn’t need Michelin Stars but this was poor.

Great food at reasonable prices. Definitely recommend this pub.

Nice pub, went for a party and good selection of ale and nice service and atmosphere

Great new manager, always a joy to be there now.

Came here again today to complete my work, the place still looks fabulous... Still the same Landlady and still very accommodating 😀 Thanks for looking after me today guys 👍 ------previous feedback----- The Plough is a beautiful village pub... Stunning garden seating area. This place is amazingly clean throughout, very tastefully decorated. I came here for work and found a really nice Landlady and staff. The new Landlady (feb 23) has taken a real pride in this place.. everything looks fantastic with a huge attention to detail inside and out... This place looks stunning !! Very popular with the locals, it's always a good sign when many tables are reserved ready for the food service... This shows the quality of the food and chef. Separate extended lounge diner with Darts, pool table and sports on the T.Vs in the bar... everything you need for an enjoyable few hours. Heated covered smoking area and an open fire (lit daily) for them cold winter nights. A beautiful punch partnership building with great atmosphere and staff... A hidden Gem amongst the many !!

Beautiful food, Always friendly service and lovely atmosphere. A real gem. They love dogs too, so can always take our dog knowing he's made welcome.

Food spot on staff friendly, what's not to like

Huge thanks to Tina and the team for going above and beyond at our function. Great pub food, good selection of drinks and friendly service. Thank you also for the generous buffet earlier in the afternoon and providing such lovely space for us all to gather. We couldn’t have asked for more. We’ll be back!

Fabulous traditional Sunday lunch. Highly recommend. Tina and the team are the perfect hosts. Many thanks and see you soon.

Great experience at this pub. Twelve of us stopped for lunch. Will revisit again.

Had the evening set meal, the sticky toffee pudding was the best I’ve had! Lovely place to eat,lovely lady looking after us, well worth a visit

Lovely village pub. Sunday roast was really nice and well priced, every component was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Great food on bank holiday Monday in the sun ☀️

I am a local, this pub is brilliant in all aspects, friendly people and staff, management are fantastic, the food and beer are top quality, entertainment at the weekend is great also. I do recommend it 👍🏻 also dog friendly.

Good pub for beer and food. Sunday lunch recommended.

Really great roast lunch, hot and good sized portions. Wonderful service from Eve. Highly recommend the rosemary roast potatoes and the salted caramel brownie.

Popped in today on the way to Doncaster. We had the cheese and bacon burgers with loaded fries and it was amazing!! Best burger I have ever had!

Great food and service. Would def recommend. Thanks for a lovely Mother’s Day lunch.

Lovely little pub, all of the staff are so warm friendly and very welcoming Lovely place, me and my sister always visit and eat here when we visit our beautiful Mam's grave with fresh flowers, Thank you to the staff for always making us feel welcome and for ordering us taxis when we are leaving the village, very much appreciate I'm not on social media myself so this is the only way I can say a great big thanks!!! 🧡🧡

What a fantastic pub Lovely warm atmosphere Great food Found it by accident and love it Will definitely be going back

Had a wonderful meal and the service was brilliant.

Fancied somewhere different for lunch and stumbled upon this place. Lovely friendly staff greeted us on arrival and were more than happy to help. Food was great and the “traditional pub” atmosphere was one you don’t find very often these days. Highly recommended.

The food was amazing and well priced Service from the landlady was wonderful such a warm welcome. Will definitely be back

We had a party of 14 for lunch all sat together. Lots different meals ordered but all came out almost together no waiting freshly cooked delicious. Nice bar to with 60s music playing loved it. Lovely friendly Landlady. Will be visiting this pub again in not to distant future.

The Plough Inn is a lovely village pub. There is a large Lounge for dining and a nice cosy bar with a dart board and pool table. There is a good range of beers and Lager on offer including cask conditioned real ale which is expensive, Timothy tailors landlord £5 a pint. There's a really nice food menu, unfortunately we didn't have time to stop for something to eat. The pub is dog friendly, there is a really nice beer garden and covered outside seating area, large car park. We will call in again next time we're in the area and try the food.

Been a good 15 years since last in ,very nice now

This restaurant/ pub is a personal favourite of my families and mine. The vibes are immaculate, staff are incredibly friendly and kind plus the food and drinks are great. I enjoy myself every time I come here. As a result of the great vibes, we come here for every situation from events, to family celebrations to catch ups and more. This is one of the most adaptable, upbuilt and exclusive places to attend in the villages. You’ll find people come from all over to here for the above mentioned reasons.

Went for Sunday dinner today and food was excellent with friendly, prompt service. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Fabulous meal. Super service from Tina . Thank you so much

Dropped into this lovely pub and very pleased. Reception, drink, food and staff attention was excellent.

Poor value for money. There were 4 of us. order of soup was missing from order & when it came no chunk of sourdough bread, just a slice of basic bread! Would not return.

Nice pub with friendly service and good outdoor seating

Just had Sunday dinner at the Plough - absolutely fabulous. High quality and staff great. Highly recommend..

This is a really lovely pub with a great beer garden. The atmosphere is very nice and clean The staff are friendly and helpful.

Really great food and service will come back soon

We came here for Sunday Dinner for the first time since Tina has taken over. The food was delicious! Great portions, all meat and veg sourced locally, great price, chilled atmosphere, no long waits to be served, very very impressed!

Fab sunday roast. Roast beef delicious veg cooked to perfection Will be back

Great atmostphere, friendly pub

Great little pub in a quaint village, with a decent garden and a bit of life to it. Dad’s choir gang meet up there after practice sometimes and they’re relatively tolerant of their occasional singing! Pool table is pretty cheap and the pints are well poured.

Great place, amazing vibe, awesome alcohol & incredible staff! What more could you ask for

Took my mum here for a lovely Sunday roast on Mothersday. The food was gorgeous, with well sized portions and the staff were very attentive and gifted my mum some lovely flowers which was a great touch.

Lovely meal. Excellent friendly service!

This pub makes living in Cropwell butler a pleasure! The owners are the most down to earth welcoming people and the beer choice is great. This pub has been a flop for the last couple of years and now it is back in full force!

I’ve been coming to the plough for lawhile now and I must say it’s by far one of the best pub around here if not the best, I’ve never met people so friendly, they treat you like family which is very rare these days. Andy & Lynn have turned the pub into something that Cropwell has been missing for a long time, I couldn’t think of a better place to spend time with friend’s & family. 🙂 Love Gammon, Egg & Chips.

Absolutely great pub and the people who run it (Lynn and andy) are out of this world, very welcoming and great with kids we wouldn't recommend any other pub in the local area just down to them. We love this pub due to the atmosphere and food quality (Absolutely amazing ..Try the steak you won't be disappointed) if you want a proper pub experience not this modern bistro stuff then come to the plough l!

Absolutely disgusted and disappointed in our local pub. We booked Christmas day dinner well in advance, September, but still ended up leaving on Christmas day 5hrs later with no Christmas dinner. There were no staff, nothing offered on the set menu was served,we had to pull together and set our own table for 10. Rude landlady who didn't even apologise to ourselves or the five other different families that all left without any of the five courses as promised. Christmas day dinner ruined! We were served fruit loaf with margaine as an appetizer and then Warburton cob cut into quarters to dunk in our melted cheese starter...but even worse our dinner never showed up after 2hrs later so we just left. Honestly I would never trust these again for such an important day of the year with family!

They made the best of a bad situation with unexpected staff shortages on Xmas Day. Some diners were moaning excessively and actively lying about how long they'd had to wait [arrived after our party and were moaning that they'd had to wait twice as long as we'd been there!] meanwhile we were determined to have a nice meal and a good time rather than moan. They also gifted us a bottle of prosecco for not being moaning minnies!

Booked early for Christmas dinner but pre booking administration poor. Turned up on time and left waiting in door way for 45 mins with no acknowledgement nor explanation. No spare tables and three other groups waiting. The restaurant manager blamed the staff for allocating tables incorrectly with no apology. Clearly understaffed and poorly managed. A complete and utter shambles. Christmas day ruined.

Very friendly and welcoming service. Good food.

Lovely pub with pool table and darts board, got outside seating with shelter and heaters or you could enjoy the sun in the garden haven't actually eaten hear but saw food come out and looks amazing and generous portions, can't forget the polite and welcoming staff

A nicely presented and well situated pub from what I could see. I only managed a half pint before I was crowded out by a large function who filled the bar area rather than their private room at the back. For the same reason I was unable to order food from their bar menu. I finished my drink in the smoking area. Just bad timing I suppose.

Terrible meal, booked Saturday night arrived at 6.15pm still hadn't received main course at 9.45pm at which point we left. We were given all sorts of excuses but it was totally unacceptable. Other tables had been there earlier than us and hadn't got their food still.

I don't like leaving a bad review but we were really disappointed after visiting today for lunch. This is a lovely pub and the staff are friendly but the service was very slow and the food not very nice. We waiting over 40 minutes for some toasted sandwiches which weren't toasted and to be honest not very nice to eat. We ordered a second round of drinks which never arrived and we were charged for. This was taken off the bill but the poor service has put us off visiting again. A real shame.

1st time inside this pub spoke to Liz the owner who is looking forward to my next visit which is soon. I stood filming in car park waiting on Tour of Britain cycle Race much more to come on my YouTube channel simply search Paul Gallant to see each video

Wonderful garden to enjoy a drink in the sun.

Lovely meal out with family. Restaurant was very busy with locals due to live band. Food was good and landlady gave us a free bottle of wine to compensate for the slow service. Entertainment was very enjoyable and a great, friendly atmosphere!

Nice traditional village pub with a modern twist, friendly landlord and staff. Reasonably priced.

Pleasant pub in a nice location. Popped in for a bite to eat in a party of 7. Slightly longer wait than we would have liked but the food was cooked fresh and was hot. The fish & chips we're ok, nothing special. The staff were friendly and I would pop in for a drink if was in the area again.

Food was great, the pies were amazing. Staff were lovely.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff!

Lovely meal - perfect chips, great curry - and excellent beer! Delighted to find the Plough on the way home from Nottingham. It was gone 7.00 & the kitchen closes at 8.00, but we were given a warm welcome & superb fish & chips & Cambodian curry. Chips were skinny skin-on fries with perfect chip shop flavour; beautiful crispy batter; husband said it was best fish & chips he'd had in ages! Curry also spot-on. The staff were all very friendly & welcoming. Landlord knows how to look after his beer. Thank you for a perfect stop! Thoroughly recommended.

Visited last night - group of 10, some eating, others not. New management (Lynn & Andy) were very welcoming, service was great and food was good pub fare (and prosecco very reasonably priced). Will definitely be back and wish Lynn & Andy every success!

We had a really great meal,well cooked and very tasty.all of the staff were very pleasant.ceetaily recomend the ham pie,and the fabulous chips.

Nice clean pub pleasant staff just disappointed that although advertised food served till 3 kitchen was closed at 2

Was not made to feel welcomed Male member of staff looked bored. And there's a horrible fusty smell

Staff very unwelcoming, making you feel like you’re intruder rather than a guest. Very limited choices on the menu, barman was probably prohibited to smile by the management. It’s very concerning that despite hardly anyone being in at the time of my visit the barman informed me that waiting time for the food is 45 minutes or could be even longer. Staff’s lacking basic manners e.g “hello; thank you;, how are you?”. Atmosphere inside is cemetery-like. No music in the background and customers angry with the staff’s poor performance.

Lovely pub with a friendly welcome.

I used to come here as a child for Sunday lunches with my Grandma who lived across the road and had such happy memories. Today I came with my own children and it was absolutely lovely! Very friendly staff, one gave the children lollies ( happy children ) the Sunday lunch was great, the portions are perfect for adults and kids. Brilliant price too! Will be making this more regular! Thanks :-)

Very attractive place with lots of different areas, cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food when it came was excellent, shame about the almost an hour we had to wait for it when the place was almost empty!

Lovely, traditional country pub. Dogs welcome in all areas. Good food. Friendly service. Recommended.

Very nice inn people very friendly enjoyed my evening there

First visit was in the week, there was 1 other table while we were there and staff said that the chef couldn’t cope. Plates not taken away, no offers of more drinks. Food was pleasant. Second visit was for Sunday lunch, again one other table was there and we waited over an hour for food. Beef was so tough, ran out of cauliflower cheese and the meal was missing Yorkshire puds. Parsnips also rock hard. Waitress didn’t know how to order the cider on tap I chose so said I needed to choose another??? Shame because the pub is nice and most of the staff pleasant.

Food was very nice staff very helpful.

Proper country pub. Wood fire, good ales. New landlord seems to be creating a good atmosphere again

Lovely cbountry pub with great outside space

The pub had a lovely atmosphere and decorations, as well as friendly staff, however the food wasn't quite up to standard. While it was tasty, there were some parts that could be improved, for example the creme brulee wasn't set, the yorkshire puddings were burnt, and the lamb was tough. I would overall recommend this pub, as my family and I had a great time though.

Food very good. Generous portion unable to finish meak

Great place with friendly and attentive staff.

Amazing food, stumped as to why it was so quiet in the restaurant on a Saturday night. Brilliant food, very lovely staff and generally a lovely quaint village pub. Will definitely be visiting again in future.

Great beer nice garden good service

Amazing staff, gorgeous food (thanks to the lovely chef) and the waiter was super entertaining and quite happy to miss the football and be with us in the virtually empty main restaurant! Good value too.

Group of 4 eating indoors on a Saturday night. Not very busy but still 50min wait for food. Mixed up our duck orders. Confit served with jus instead if a l'orange which was how the duck breast came. Wrong ice cream served with the brownie too.

Really nice reception best of luck and keep up the good service

Changed hands recently, food excellent as previously, Beer prices have increased £4/pint, but Covid has had alot to do with this, TBH £2 increase, isnt bad in 20years especially under todays hospitality pressures

What a lovely outdoor area! Inside looks great too but not yet tried it. Will definitely visit again soon.

Update June 2021 - first time since being taken over by new ownership, very good sunday roast and a decent selection of drinks. Recommended 😁

Friendly and welcoming staff and delicious food. We had 3 different Sunday roasts and all were fantastic. Kids portions of all meals available. Will definitely be back soon.

All over the news for breaking lockdown rules.

Never been myself but hear they do a great lock down with all the trimmings!

Irresponsible owners. Not to be trusted with your custom or safety.

Wonderful food, beautifully served, so delicious....can't wait for you to open again, see you early December all being well.

Amazing homemade food, friendly staff and service.

A nice relaxing pub with great service.

Great place to come. Wonderful staff. Food amazing. Visited quite a few times recently. Trying to help in the COVID-19 situation. Our 1st choice every time. Discovered when seeing old friends with Richard who is now very poorly.

Dog friendly, people friendly, great food, great drinks, fabulous staff, what more could you want!!

My partner and I had a fantastic meal here. The food was brilliant - the steak on my mixed grill was one of the best cooked I’ve had, the perfect medium rare. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive, and we later met his Mum who also works there and is just as lovely! Thoroughly recommend.

1st time here. The food was beautiful, & service was excellent, will definitely be coming back.

As usual a lovely afternoon at the Plough with lovely food in lovely surroundings!

Several years since last visited the Plough. Still a very pleasant pub. Good menu, the 4 of us all had different dishes and were all delighted with the food. we'll cooked and presented. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend. We will be back.

Awesome food, really great staff, very welcoming! All the food is served super fresh, incredibly delicious fish and chips and the pies are hand rolled and taste incredible
