The Old Plough in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food brilliant and desserts are lovely and reasonable. Would recommend. Pods outside to sit ideal. A needed pub which needs support from the community and praise for achieving good food not forgetting the drinks available and also coffee.

On holiday at Summer Valley camp site. This pub is a highly recommended pub with great drink, food, staff and service. All you 2024 visitors to Summer Valley, please visit and support this great pub.

Great landlord and there behind the bar. Enjoyed both the beer and the lunchtime food.

First time I have been in The Plough Inn, took my family for lunch and my son played pool. The food was the best pub food I have ever tasted and great value for money. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Will certainly go back again soon

Big portions. Well cooked food and dessert was fantastic

If you like cheap farm foods chips and unwashed salad straight out of the bag 🥗 and cheap farm food burgers 🍔 ... then crack on ...not for me .... dogs barking every 30 seconds and beer out of a can .... feel robbed of my £35 ... never again 😒

Love going here for something to eat and drink! Food is all made from fresh, the atmosphere is so relaxed and inviting. Quick service. Lovely place to visit. Be back soon.

Food was great price at 6.95 a burger although it had no flavor and was bland

I don't understand the negative reviews on this site. Consistently good quality, enjoyable pub food at good prices and pleasant, helpful staff. This week we had steak pie, lasagne and plough burger and it was excellent. Good local village pub ambience - dog friendly and high hygiene standards. Hint - ignore negative reviews.

I was expecting some traditional dishes...I found none... Full of foreign dishes And not so good...

Food very disappointing. The barman was really pleasant and friendly but the food was not great. Everything seemed like it was frozen and really low quality. Waste of money.

Found by mistake, cracking little pub

Very nice pub and food. Very welcoming staff

Great local. Always have events on and always a hello when you walk in

Welcoming and friendly landlord. Nice pub grub menu. We had chicken burger and ham, egg, chips and peas reasonably priced. Good selection of drinks. Nice gardens with little shacks. Dog friendly and parking.

I was a little hesitant reading the previous review about non collected glasses and rude staff. We popped in anyway and I’m glad we did. The pub was spotless and the bar maid (only one apparently) was exceptionally polite and I’m shocked that the previous review was so far from correct. Anyway…. Great food and we loved the pool table, darts and the outside area was fantastic in the sunshine.

I visited this pub with friends recently only the second time I have been. I have to say as a ex landlady with a wealth of experience of working in pubs and clubs, and a personal licence holder I was a little disappointed at staff attitude. it seems that playing pool and chit chatting with locals and sat giving dogs treats was a preference to serving us, the bar maid was rude, and very unprofessional making it obvious when one of our party left the bar she promptly started talking about her to customers at the bar. I had to ask if she would collect glasses crockery, and condiments from the table as it was very clutted, the bar person said that they waited as customers usually bring them back!!! last time i looked at a job description for bar staff, collecting crockery, keeping tables clean, the general pub area tidy, and actually wiping tables especially as covid is still around was on it. yes some customers do bring glasses back but surley taking their crockery back to the bar isn't expected as well is it? Our table wasn't the only table that was not cleared and not cleaned when customers had obviously left. the bar person couldnt have made it any more obvious that we were not her favourite customers, our table wasn't the only table that was left with dirty plates and glasses after customers left, surley if the bar staff had any pride in their work and work place the tables would have been cleared immediately after customers left, or are customer supposed to take their crockery back to the bar as well as glasses after food and drinks? maybe training in customer services and manners could help with this? Familiarity breads contempt and this showed in both the bar staff and some of the trusty old locals. As you can see from the pictures it wasn't too busy that things Couldn't be cleared away

Decent and well priced pints but quite tired interiors and sadly didn’t have the fire lit on a very blustery day recently. Haven’t eaten there but it didn’t look that inspired

Always drive past this pub but never been in there so we decided to give it a try ! We'll the food was very nice I had the rack of ribs and the staff are friendly it was a nice place I had crumble and custard for pudding and it was really nice I will be going in there again 🙂

We used to come in here almost 12 years ago when we lived nearby for the fish & chip Friday evenings, so on returning to the area recently we decided to try it again. Not quite the same, back in the day it was a proper fillet of fish, nowadays only fish 'goujons' which is a sign of the times presumably, I am guessing to keep the costs down. Nevertheless we enjoyed our meal at an extremely reasonable price, good beer too, and a comfortable welcome, although this is very much a locals pub so we had minimal contact with the staff which seeing as we are actually Cornish, was slightly disappointing. It loses marks for that reason alone.

Great food and really friendly staff. Definitely coming back for more!

Steak dinner one night with my daughter and curry another night with my son. Hot tasty food and a lovely warm welcome.

Love the little sheds to sit in no matter what the weather

Typical cornish pub good, reasonably priced food and excellent cornish ales

Loved the food ooohhhhh the battered prawns where top notch

Lovely quiet pub with good grub and drinks! I had the ribs, my mum had sausage and egg and my boyfriend had ham, egg and chips. Quick service and friendly bar staff. We are from Portishead, Bristol and are on a little break away, we will deffo be visiting here in the future. Thank you for a warm welcome and we hope to be down again in the future.

We came to the Plough inn on a Friday evening at 7pm, we were welcomed when we ordered our drinks. When ordering our food, we were told that as a party of 7 had just come in ( after us) they wouldn’t be serving us food, so it was best we went else where. Shocked! Trying to support local businesses and we were turned away and told we couldn’t order.

Quick and easy service for a Sunday. Shows football and friendly staff.

Cracking pub with a great beer garden. Family friendly and most welcoming

Upon arriving at the plough was made to feel welcome nothing was too much trouble especially from the young lady behind the bar, food was lovely and even finished the night off with a couple games of pool👍

Nice pub but was wondering how our food came out so so quickly was nice can't fault it will come back again

Stopped here en route for a coffee. Lovely clean and friendly pub with lots for the local community and very welcoming landlord. Didn't stop for food etc hence only 4 stars. Thank you for good coffee and tea.

Arrived and made to feel welcome, the lady behind the bar was very pleasant too (couldn't do enough tbh), the food was great and good value for money, all in all we had a great evening, Thank you

Lovely pub, great staff, good food

Arrived at 2:20, notice on the door said food served until 2:30. Apparently we were 5 mins after last orders and the barman really wasn't interested.... So we left!

Wife and friends use it for girly meetings love being fussed over by staff. Great food.

Lovely warm welcome. Great village pub.

Great little cozy local,We not long moved to Truro and found Staff are lovely,Very friendly and welcoming and food is fab,

Loved this place. Amazing heated pods outside, ideal for the colder months. Big patio seating area too. I'm sure in the summer it's heaving. Nice pint, good service. Would definitely go back again if I'm in the area

Not bad bit cold the day we went but it was lunch time

Great food, good service. Very nice country pub.

Delicious food as always, staff friendly & professional. Food arrived hot & well presented, happy to make adjustments to suit our individual tastes.

Visited this pub during our stay. No food was being served on the day of our visit and we were told they did not serve food after 5pm. Whilst the outdoor seating facilities are good we will not be returning

Good country pub in a nice setting. The food was good pub grub. Would go back.

Good food, good beer, good atmosphere. Good grief, what more do you want? 🙄👍😃

Lovely food, plenty of it, nice people

Good food - short walk across fields from the Summer Valley camp-site

Lovely little pub, good food, friendly staff 😁

Great food and friendly service. The pub was well kept, clean and tidy. The menu has a good selection of food avaialble

As an adult family who love to hide away from the crowds and visit local places for lunch, The Old Plough is fantastic. All staff are so friendly and accommodating,they make you feel very welcome. There was no, and never is, barking as others suggest, even the visiting doggies were quiet and well behaved. We love visiting every time, we stop for lunch and drinks and Today the pool table was a great addition to our visit too! The food and drink is exactly what you need, plenty of choice and tasty with great prices. Thank you to the team again. We'll visit again soon.

Lovely friendly pub..local to us and great food.

A bit of a mixed bag- the guy assumed to be the landlord wasn’t very friendly or welcoming - just barked at us to put a mask on (restrictions lifted weeks ago) didn’t smile or say hi or anything. The waitress was friendly though and the food was reasonable, not the biggest choice - basic burgers etc- some stuff unavailable. Wouldn’t go back in a hurry. Funny how we had to wear masks but apparent regulars can sit at the bar drinking. Seems inconsistent.

We visited this pub twice whilst staying at a local campsite, once for food, which I will say was delicious, we were a group of 7 and everyone enjoyed. Our other visit was to watch the Lions game, again we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere there. A very good pub with excellent, food, service and atmosphere.

Usually pop in for a drink and food. All the staff are always friendly and welcoming. There is a choice of indoor and outdoor seating. Felt very comfortable and nothing is too much trouble. Definitely recommend this pub one of the best in Cornwall!!

We decided to come here for a quick drink, wished we hadn’t bothered. It was raining heavily when we arrived, so although mask wearing and restrictions have been lifted we carried our masks in with us and were just about to put them on when...

Very pleasant surroundings friendly staff. Good food

Lovely village pub. Good pub grub Gingo is a must 😁

Wow. Just visited the old plough for lunch. The Meals was massive, price was absolutely great. From the moment of being greeted to the moment we left it was great! Highly recommend. Will most definitely return very soon!

Very well organised for social distancing. Lovely staff and good service.

A great local pub with lovely staff who are friendly. The food is great and reasonably priced. We often visit here with family and friends when they come to visit us, all made to feel welcome. They do lots for the community too. It's great to have such a lovely pub on our doorstep!

Excellent pub would recommend to anyone

Great service and excellent value, thanks guys!

Lovely food, brilliant staff, a great place to go 😁

We had lunch here last week. A good honest meal and they have got their heads around covid regulations better than most. Well done

No atmosphere, quiet and poor lighting

Lovely place, really enjoyed the food and friendly staff. Lots of choice on the menu. Dealing with COVID restrictions really well. Enjoyed our relaxing lunch, we will be back soon.

It was quiet when we were there, but the food was plentiful and hot. Excellent value for money, good friendly service.

Excellent fish and chips ! Will go back for more .

I have visited the old plough on many occasions, i would recommend the delicious food, the staff make you so welcome. They have several events going on during the week which makes for a friendly place to meet up with friends.

Great food and especially love the coffee and dessert deal for £3!!!

Lovley food, great service, great atmosphere, highly recommended.

A fantastic pub with great food and a great environment

We pre-ordered our lunches before walking in the area as there were 8 of us. The service was friendly and efficient and we were impressed with the large lunches which were an excellent price. There was a huge choice of meals including burgers, sausages, chips...

Our Community Coffee Morning group has just had an excellent Christmas Lunch at the Old Plough. Everything about it was wonderful. The food was delicious and hot, with a good choice of menu. Even though there were a lot of people there, no one waited...

Friendly and welcoming, good food 😁

Met up here for lunch with friends. All meals were very good but surprised they did not have any fish when one person wanted fish and chips, this was on a Wednesday.

The barman didn't even stop what sounded like a personal call to serve me

Lovely friendly pub with amazing food

2 years ago this was really good, since then less on your plate - or not as good. Makes a great effort for the village.

Friendly atmosphere food is great

My husband and I visited here for a late lunch on a very wet and miserable Monday. We were soaked through from a torrential downpour and this place came up as a possible lunch stop thanks to Google (we were on our holidays, so not...

I have been visiting this pub whilst on holiday for well over 20 years now. I've seen several landlords come and go in that time. The most recent, Mark and Ian, have been there for a few years now and I can honestly say they...

Lovely friendly pub and good foid

A hidden treasure! Very lovely staff and really good food, the lasagne went down a storm with our eldest!

Good facilities, bar was run off its feet (the one staff member did a fantastic job), food was distinctly average and upset a couple of stomachs of the party so wouldn't go back to eat, prices OK. On balance very average

Pleasant surroundings and friendly staff but food was average. After eating all week by the coast with excellent food served by various establishments this was a bit disappointing however; we had been spoilt by the high quality food served to us all week leading up to this visit

Good food and a warm welcome. Recommend

Very good food and very reasonable prices

Friendly local feel pub with great food

Just popped in here for a quick lunch, food was nice and service great. Just a shame on this day they didn't have the steak and ale pie as I would have loved to try that.
