The Old Plough Inn in Daventry

We all have an excellent lunch, really refreshing to have different fish dishes on the menu. Our friends can’t wait to come back again. Luckily we live in the village and will be going again very soon. Compliments to all the staff

Visited for meal and drinks with 2 dogs today. Great service, fabulous menu with loads of great options. We all ordered fish (cod, swordfish and red snapper), all were very happy with their choice, beer good and well kept. Desserts were delicious too. Very dog friendly and reasonably priced.

Colin & Lisa utterly fantastic hosts. We arrived in Braunston for a short break and called in the nearest bar. What a fantastic decision we made Friendly, approachable, welcoming, great friendly customer service etc etc can not praise the owners or establishment highly enough by far best bar in Braunston and we tried them all. 100% Totally returning again. Totally welcoming to our smiling collie

A lovely dog friendly pub with delicious home cooked food. The owners are so welcoming and friendly. Our two Border Terriers, George & Janice make themselves at home & The Plough has definitely become our new local for a drink & excellent food when we’re over at our boat which is moored at the marina. We will definitely be returning again & again & again.

Enjoyed a meal here last night of prawns & chorizo starter, followed by rump steak and my husband had the tailor made pizza. Both of which were made to perfection. Will definitely be back soon

Just had a lovely Sunday lunch at The Plough. A nice menu and with good drinks selection. We shared a Cauliflower Wings to start, which was hot and very tasty with a Chipotle dip. For mains we both chose the Crispy slow roast Belly pork with Apple purée and black pudding on top a of a buttery mash, served with lots of vegetables and lashings of gravy. This was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection and piping hot to the last forkful. The staff were all very friendly, the prices are reasonable and we will definitely be back!

having retired from cooking here last year i thought i would try the new chef/ owners cooking , we were not dissapointed , my lasange was tasty the accomanying salad fresh and crispy , my friends hunters chicken was also very good , the establishment was very clean and warm , and a very nice young lady to serve us which made our day . thank you for a pleasant lunch xx

Called in for Sunday Lunch. Absolutely faultless! Had homemade soup and belly pork bites to start , both excellent and served with a smile. My wife had roast sirloin I had lamb shank, both came with fresh veg and all the trimmings. Lashings of gravy and a real plate full. Followed up by crumble and custard. Amazing value at around £14 for mains. Service throughout was friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Delicious food in a lovely atmosphere! The pub is warm and welcoming with a friendly feel to it. Fabulous menu and all our meals were really good. Pizza is a speciality but the rest of our food was amazing. A lovely evening out!

Fabulous atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, excellent food and drinks. I personally recommend that you find out for yourselves, you will not be disappointed.

Had a lovely meal which was cooked to order. Nice to see to see small portions on the menu - which were still really good portion sizes. Very reasonably priced. Friendly service too.

Nice to see the pub open again lovely new couple in the pub so welcoming, the beer was good and we all enjoyed our food will definitely be going back for more !!!

lovely relaxing interior, clean and well maintained. friendly bar-girl who had a very enjoyable play-list quietly on the go (know she'd have changed it if asked, was great hearing some tunes we'd not heard in a while). it was "steak wednesday" which he really enjoyed, I had delish fish'n'chips. our dog was made very welcome with treats. relaxing in this pub was perfect following a very long journey from the Lake District. definitely would go again when in the area

Worth the detour to the quaint village of Braunston as only a few minutes from the A5, M1, A45 and M45. We went there on our way back from Scotland as we didn't fancy the dreaded motorway services. Turned out to be a great choice and WELL WORTH the extra few miles off the motorway. Kurt and Rhianna are very welcoming, the beer is excellent and the food, well,we've not had a better veg curry in a very long time. Worth noting, made to order, not pre-made and warmed up, so very fresh and arrived in no time. Places like this that offer a miles better experience than the usual chain suspects need to visited. It's a village pub - use it or lose it as they say. We will be back :D

A friendly and smiling welcome wich made you think you're special to them. Good beers - a decent choice including Butty Bach as a really good bitter. The menu is traditional pub rather than gatronomic but that's what we were hoping for. The pie is a good size and meat-filled. Vegetables are great and chips are proper chips. We only had the one course but the starters and desserts sounded great. Chatting to the community managers later proved that they have full time businesses of their own but run them completely separately from the living quarters upstairs. They are on hand 24/7 for emergencies etc. It's a venture for them and for the village. Interestingly they are intent on improving on the reputation of previous owners / managers. This is a village pub that serves good food in good time at reasonable rates. It's not, and doesn't try to be, a restaurant with more exotic offerings. It's historic, a proper pub, and an important part of the village and the UK canal scene (if some way away from the canal!)

Brilliant breakfast! My family and I came for a jubilee breakfast at The Old Plough and left very happy! Great atmosphere and friendly staff! Would recommend.

The drinks were nice, some good real ale. The welcome was friendly. The food menu is very basic the presentation even more so. It’s very low on taste, I suspect it’s mostly reheated frozen food. My son left half of his pizza - a first...

This is a well deserved place to visit, it’s in the heart of the grand union canal, the locals are friendly and deserve recognition because they also make the place, I’m a boater visiting and will most definitely place this humble establishment close to my...

Great atmosphere, never went in the pub with previous owners but current landlord and landlady are doing a great job. Lovely food credit to the chef. Quiz is worth doing, probably the best pub quiz we have been to!

What a difference! Fantastic beer and lovely food. We were fortunate to be the landlords’ first clients when we arrived on Friday. Warm welcome and brilliant real ales Timothy Taylor’s Landlord at its finest. A difficult beer to keep but judging by the amount being...

Having read a couple of very poor reviews on this establishment, my wife and I were a little wary about visiting. However, the reality is that this is a lovely pub, serving piping hot and delicious food. The beer was as good as any I’ve...

Short walk from the marina into the village. The Old Plough offered good basic pub grub. Highly recommend the homemade soup and coleslaw with good burger. Staff very friendly. Yes it could do with a tidy up but we're all going going through hard times...

Came across the pub whilst walking around Braunston. The staff were friendly and welcoming, we asked if they could do us pizza to takeaway, so we could enjoy the evening on our canal boat, which they did (Very nice indeed) and we enjoyed a drink...

We were made to feel very at ease. The dog was welcomed also with fresh water in a clean bowl....also a bowl of dog biscuits. The staff were brilliant and so was the food.

Popped in whilst in the area, not enough staff for the current restrictions that are in place, waited for 10 minutes for my drinks order, and another 15 for it to arrive. Landlady I assume,was more interested in drinking and socialising than organising her business....

My husband and I had a nice evening meal at the Old Plough. I had the steak which was cooked just how I like it and hubby tried the veggie burger which he said was very tasty. Would recommend

This was our third time meeting up for lunch with a village walking group following a walk. We all felt very safe with the restrictions in place, table service etc. We had preordered but with 14 people it is not an easy task to get...

Had a very good pub meal at fantastic price. The Covid precautions were good, waitress wore mask all the time, and social distancing between tables.

Excellent food and prompt service. Really good vfm. Will definitely visit again. My friends and I had the meat pie - delicious. A lovely large serving - almost defeated me. 😄

I used to frequent the old plough braunston last year. I was never disappointed with the lovely homemade food. especially the lasagnas. i went in last thursday after booking a table. and found the service to be very poor and was made to feel unwelcomed...

We pass through Braunston on our canal boat. This pub was always on our visit list although it is less convenient to the canal being a short ten minute walk up a small hill. It has never let us down in the past,being a typical...

Two of us had Sunday lunch, we both had roast lamb. It was very good, plenty of meat and a variety of veg. also a yorky pudding. It was well presented and tasted good. Sachets of mint sauce but that it didn't spoil it.

Popped in for a drink and simply asked if we could order of the takeaway menu and eat outside 2 members of staff explained this wasnt possible, so we ordered from the main menu We were then approached by the landlord ranting and raving that...

Great little village pub. Working away from home and popped into this pub one night. Full of charm and a really friendly atmosphere the locals live to have a yap and a laugh. Will definitely be returning next week.

Had been for a 6 mile walk with a friend and decided to go here for late lunch. We both had a starter- mine was homemade leek and potato soup- it tasted absolutely amazing! We both had roast beef for main which was lovely! The...

We were recently heading up to our canal boat for Christmas and decided to stop in Braunston for lunch. The local community cafe was closed for Christmas. And oddly for a community cafe had a no dog policy. So we tried the Old Plough and...

A good find. A traditional pub with a friendly welcome. Good pub lunch menu and a real log fire to welcome you. Car park at rear. We will return.

Visiting from the States on a narrowboat holiday, the Old Plough was the best place to eat a hearty pie next to a warm fire. Excellent service and great food were perfect for a windy night on the canal.

Classic Pub, Classic Food, Classic beersWalked up the hill from the Canal and were not disappointed. Very warm reception. great meals - don't eat for a week before you come here, and great local beers. sad to see this type of pub dwindling away and the chain pubs and their slop taking over. just a wonderful evening in a wonderful pub.

Called in for a meal whilst on a trip down the Oxford Canal. Pub grub, with good sized portions and reasonably priced. Thoroughly enjoyed my mixed grill.

I visited and reported on this pub on my previous time passing through Braunston on my boat. It was the first place to visit after mooring up. Once again the people are so nice and friendly. The food is really good, good portions and very well priced. Sunday roast my favorite meal of the week was proper good old fashioned cooking. I cheekily asked for extra roast spuds as i love them so much and my nickname is "potato head". They kindly brought out an extra bowl at no extra cost!. Highly recommend this pub. Its only a short walk from the canal. Its dog friendly in the main bar and garden area.

We were staying in the area, and looked on tripadvisor for recomendations, and were not dissapointed, a very friendly welcome, a very good choice of beers and nice menu. We left feeling nourished and happy.

Sunday lunch at the old plough is an experience not to be missed !! Traditional and home cooked brought back memories of my mums roast years ago. Staff very friendly and helpful will definitely be back for more

Looked up places to eat in Braunston and this pop up on trip advisor. Looking at the reviews we decided to try it. WOW was not disappointed. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. I had the home made pie “delicious” and my boyfriend had the mixed grill, which was AMAZING. Definitely worth a visit.

Really not the type of person to complain, but had a truly awful experience. The food was very greasy and cold. When I told this to a staff member, I was told ‘well what do you want me to do about it?’ Not helpful or polite.

Basic pub grub. Not brilliant but not expensive. Pie of the day and lasagne were ok, but chips could have been better. Would not go again based on this experience.

Called in for a drink Friday evening whilst on a canal trip. Bar full of locals and it felt like walking into the "Slaughtered Lamb". One particular "lady" (and I use the term loosely) was a little worse for wear was singing quite loudly and was upset when we left, asking if we didn't like the music. Don't think we will return. Not a very friendly atmosphere.

Had a lovely lunch here with family. The prices are very reasonable and lots of the menu is homemade. Big car park out the back. Staff are really friendly.

Had lunch there. The specials advertised weren't available even though we got there at 12:00. All three of us thought the pub food was distinctly average at best and not that well cooked. My lasagne topping (basically a very thick cheese sauce) didn't look fresh and the gammon wasn't fried enough so the fat was quite uncooked. Chips were poor. The most disappointing lunch/meal of the canal trip.

Called in for lunch when passing through. Lovely choice of menu. Cosy fire and friendly people. Food very nice home cooked. Good choice on menu.

Decent pub grub, with no pretensions to be more. That's fine - though veggie options were a little limited. Food was mostly very good - though the chips were rather 'tired'. Service was friendly and speedy. Well priced

Had evening meal with friends, the food was well presented and hot which was a plesent surprised as there was 10 of us with only one or two having the same meal. The staff were very good.Drinks from the bar reasonably priced with a good selection of beers.

The food here is best described as standard pub food done well, and was excellent value. The portions were in my view very appropriately sized (ie not too large!). The stand out points for me were three good real ales, well kept; very good value for money (10 drinks and 8 two course meals, 3 of which were kids) came in at £100; but the stand out point was the incredible welcome and friendly style of Bradley who served us. It was the wonderful welcome which got the 5th star!

My friends and I visited here as we were on a narrow boat on the Warwick ring and stumbled across this pub on a walk into braunston to try and find the footie to watch and grab some grub, and we wasn't disappointed as was made to feel very welcome by staff and locals and beer and food was excellent, and staggered back to boat a few good hours later! would thoroughly recommend this pub

some nice ales although southern prices food good pub style Staff friendly atmosphere a proper pub.with friendly locals quite a few boaters in.

Personal encantador, amable, restaurante con vigas de la mejor cabra curry que he probado desde que Lee Green. Debería haber sido guisantes Black Eyed no guisantes verdes, pero aparte de que el sabor era muy auténtico. Emma ha lasaña y que era correcto, no suele aparecer hizo Misa del gallo, carne aguada mushing obviamente minadas. Gran relación calidad-precio, buena cerveza, buena comida, que podría querer más!

A un corto paseo de la Oxford Canal te lleva a esta excelente pub. Los perros son bienvenidos en el bar, y hay una excelente cocina a leña. El servicio era excelente y la comida buenísima. Tuve mi pareja y pierna de cordero al curry vegetal tanto que disfrutamos. Pruébalo, no te defraudará.

Encantador, sorprendentemente tranquilo y pequeño pub de estar en la calle principal. Data de 1600 con vigas oscuras y carácter. Servicio encantador, amable y un precio muy razonable y muy gratamente sorprendidos por la calidad de la comida. La lasaña vegetal era la mejor que he probado! Estamos enganchados - este va a ser un habitual del almuerzo.

Village pub, nice atmosphere food was excellent served timely reasonable price for the quality of food served. Good portion size.

Teníamos una familia encantadora Domingo almuerzo aquí.Nos condujeron por el personal y atención durante nuestra comida. La comida era excelente, sabroso y abundante, se sirve en buen tiempo.He estado aquí un par de veces y tengo ganas de regresar pronto.

The Old Plough is a good old fashioned pub with a log fire and Northampton Skittles, it had a good pub atmosphere.

Tenía una comida con mi esposa y dos amigos el viernes por la noche. Disfrutamos casero lasaña, pollo y jamón tarta e hígado y cebollas. Incluye dos rondas de bebidas la factura era de menos de 60 libras. No tengo ninguna queja sobre la comida. Estaba caliente y se sirve en platos calientes. Chef tomó la molestia de consultar con nosotros que todo estaba bien.

Tropezamos con el pueblo para un almuerzo rápido antes de una reunión en un lugar donde no puedo salir para el almuerzo. Tenía la casa hizo sopa de champiñones y roll. No estaba mal. Hornear en casa y parte sopa roll no era tan grande. No hay mucho tiempo para hacer nada más, pero parecía un lugar agradable con un ambiente real de fuego.

Nos amarrado nuestro barco en la Marina y fui en busca de comida. Este lugar fue recomendado por una señora en la cola en la tienda local. Sensación cansados y hambrientos nos dirigimos a encontrar. Cuando llegamos era alrededor de 4. 45 y nos dijeron que la comida no se sirve hasta las 18:00. Se sentía un poco desanimado, estuvimos de acuerdo en el que alojarse. Después de sentarse en el bar preguntamos si nos podíamos cambiar en el salón. Tengo que decir que todo el tiempo la señora de detrás de la barra era realmente agradable y muy acogedor. Cuando nos sirvieron la comida fue con una sonrisa y era realmente bueno. Yo tenía mi compañero de vegetales, curry chili y nuestros amigos en el costillar de cordero. Nos pareció muy buena relación calidad-precio y el personal fue impecable, ya que se aseguró que todo era satisfactorio. Como Braunston es ahora nuestro amarradero permanente estoy seguro que volveremos.

wonderful staff and made so welcome food was delicious and piping hot could not fault the food staff or pub

Fuimos a cenar con la familia, mientras que en el canal. Muy contentos que decidimos comer en el Viejo arado como el servicio era de primera clase y las comidas eran excelentes. Mejor sobresaliente que he tenido, así que es una buena opción. El restaurante era cómodo y todos estuvimos de acuerdo en que es un lugar que estaremos encantados de volver a. Sin duda lo recomiendo.

En 1200 (poco después del pub abierto) reservamos una mesa para 3 personas para comer el domingo a las 1 pm. Nos llegó a la 1:00 p.m. y después de esperar 10 minutos en el bar nos dijeron que no había registro de la reserva. La mujer detrás de la barra era muy grosero y fuera de mano y su única respuesta fue "Todos cometemos errores, nadie es perfecto. "Cuando le pregunté si había un gerente por ella rápidamente me dijo que no tenía. Ella hizo el "nadie es perfecto" comentarios varias veces. Ya que no podía discutir con el hecho de que la izquierda. Por suerte nos encontramos en otro sitio y tenía un magnífico almuerzo de domingo. Quizás fue una bendición disfrazada no tener nuestra reserva, menos de una hora antes, un honor para mí.

Quite pleasant venue. The service was friendly although they did forget a couple of orders and by the time they came, others had finished their meal.

we went there for the senior citizens fish and chips. My husband had the normal portion and I had the senior citizen portion. His was not all that big and mine was miniscule could have counted the chips on my fingers, could not get to the bar for 3 fat old men blocking it and not moving to allow access, the place could do with a refurb it was dark and smelled musty, definitely will not be going there again and I live in the village

Friendly local village pub, good choice of food and beers, quite often has music on a Friday night. Good atmosphere, bouncy castle in the garden for the kids

Nos fuimos para un almuerzo ligero y las diversas patatas de la chaqueta eran sólo un promedio. Gente agradable pero se sentía un poco cansado.

Good hot food nice staff, some nice real ales on sale and a friendly local atmosphere, staff checked the food was to our satisfaction after initial delivery

My fish was lovely but my husbands was soggy. The chips were all double cooked. Why can they they not produce freshly cooked ones. They were not very busy.

A lovely home cooked Sunday lunch with local beef served rare ( our choice ) with a jug of proper gravy .. Not large portions and room for real puddings . Thank you .
