My first visit to the Old Plough Inn and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The home cooked food was fantastic and all the staff and owners were so friendly and attentive, couldn’t fault any of it. The atmosphere was lovely and it’s such a beautiful pub. Highly recommend and will definitely be going back!

My husband and I visited the Old Plough Inn at the weekend and what a beautiful place it is! From the minute we walked in the staff could not have been more helpful and attentive. Were were not kept waiting to be seated and our drinks were bought as soon as ordered so we could have a drink whilst perusing the menu!! The food was absolutely delicious; you could tell it was freshly home cooked and the family atmosphere was lovely! We would not hesitate in going back and will definitely be returning very soon! Thank you so much :)

Bit disappointed in our meal at The Plough last night Highlights: Cod prawn and salmon mornay was tasty; lamb and turkey were good and sticky toffee pudding also nothing to complain about. Low points: starters were small and quite pricey; food was slow to come out even though they weren’t that busy, and servers were constantly at the table interrupting conversations to ask if we wanted more drinks, clear glasses, check everything was ok; apples undercooked and bitter in the crumble and the crème brûlée was the worst I’ve ever tasted ( strange orange colour, odd texture , little flavour and far too sweet)

We visited last night for a meal on our mini break to the area. I have to say I WILL most definitely be returning! We had the most perfect experience here, the food was really very good and plentiful, the staff very attentive, nothing was too much trouble at all. I would highly recommend the Steak and Guinness pie from the menu... Very nice. It's been a while since we have had a meal out as good as this was, 5 stars but would happily give more if there was an option Thank you to all staff at the Old Plough Inn, Egmonton.

Arrived for pre arranged booking, with no where to wait, asked to wait outside. 45 minutes later( after several reminders we were there) on a sunny but cold afternoon invited to a table . Food served after another 45 minutes from a then limited menu.

We came here for the first time as a family party of 7 for an evening meal to celebrate my wife’s recent birthday. Atmosphere and decor is cosy but classy. Staff were welcoming and attentive. Service was quick. Good choice of real ales and other drinks. Menu has just the right amount of choice and range of dishes in my opinion - something for everyone! We all had starters, mains and puddings and we all agreed that the food was outstandingly good. I had one of the best sirloin steaks ever, with a fantastic Stilton sauce. The presentation of the dishes was also to a high standard. We will definitely be returning and I highly recommend it. Thanks for a lovely evening!

Me and my partner came for his birthday tonight, wow is all I can say! The decor is lush, the staff were lovely, always checking everything was OK. The calamari was so nice, we both opted for pie and this was so filling. Along came our deserts - choc brownie and ice cream, and sticky toffee pudding, these were amazing! There's a huge gin menu too, I cant understand the negative review, its clear that they are typical moaners as there's not one nice thing to say in their review. Try this place for yourself, you won't regret it :)

Nice wine glasses and nice wine served at the correct temperature .Negatives - food is bland. Tables are too small. We were crammed in a table for 6 people with 4 adults and 2 older children.

Warm welcome, extraordinary food, amazing hosts! From the minute we stepped into this tastefully decorated old inn we knew we had made the right choice. Outstanding menu and food. A birthday celebration for the three of us was made extra special by a genuinely attentive team of staff and family owners. The venue was perfect, cosy without being too close to other diners, and comfortable furnishing and impeccable loos. We had travelled some distance so were glad to be able to book ahead and received a lovely welcome despite arriving earlier than our booking. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this lovely family-run venue.

Warmly welcomed, sat down in a lovely warm cosy room. The staff are exceptionally efficient and nothing is any trouble. The food choice was plenty and was well presented, even an extra jug of gravy and cauliflower cheese to add to the already well portioned meals. This is a great place to eat as a couple or with family and friends. Booking is recommended as It was full, however the service never falted even though busy. The manger is lovely and the staff clearly enjoy working for her. Will definitely be returning soon. Thanks for looking after us. delicious

This is four years in a row we have visited this restaurant. We stay near Sherwood Forest and always have a meal here (we travel from Essex). The food is fantastic, the service is genuine I fully recommend this to anyone staying in the area. If you are really brave, order the sea platter for 2, must pre order , but what a banquet and you will not be disappointed. The regular menu is more than adequate though and we always leave with a full belly, can't praise this place enough.

Been to the Old Plough Inn several times and have always enjoyed the food, unfortunately this last visit was poor for me. My husband has the veggie tomato curry, which he nearly always has , l had the cheese and onion quiche served with new potatoes and veg, the quiche was tasteless, the new potatoes were ordinary ones chopped up, none of the three veg had been seasoned. The TV chefs are always going on to season well. I ate half of mine as l had not eaten since lunchtime, that meal took vegetarian food back 20 years. My husband incidentally enjoyed his curry, wish I had ordered it .

Four friends travelled from Lincoln for birthday meal. The decor of the pub is lovely and fresh and tables are not to crammed in together so you don’t feel on top of each other. The food was fantastic, very tasty and well presented and ample portions. There was a good choice for the one vegetarian in the group. The choice of beers and wines was great. But what made a lovely evening even better was the exceptional and very attentive service we received from the young staff serving at the bar and waiting at table. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they engaged in conversation and all seemed to enjoy their work and take pride in their role at The Old Plough. Well done to the whole team.

We have driven by here many times and decided to stop in one late afternoon. When we walked in, we noted there was no bar area, just tables set for food everywhere. Some people were sitting at tables near the bar drinking. We were asked if we wanted a meal, and were shown to a table. The menu had a vegetarian dishes, but no vegan ones, which I try to stick to if I can. I see on their tripadvisor page that they are available. I don’t believe in asking for a special dish, if they are available, put it on the menu! Better yet, get rid of the vegetarian dishes and just make everything vegan. All supermarkets have vegan cheese, cream and other things. Very simple really.

I am not a negative review kind of girl, would rather not leave a review at all. My husband absolutely loved his main of lamb, I think I simply made the wrong choice - my fish was cooked lovely but everything that went with it I found a bit bland. It also took nearly 50 mins to arrive. But I'm guessing Something went wrong in the kitchen with our order because other people were served in a timely manner. The reason I'm giving it five stars is because it is such a beautiful little pub, they are trying very hard and the lemon cheesecake I had to finish was to die for. I also think it's important to support places that have real chefs doing real food. So we will definitely be returning at some point to try something else.

We have visited The Plough numerous times as we live locally. Our last visit was disappointing. Although the pub was busy the service was very slow. The seafood cocktails and mushroom starters were delicious. The whale sized fish and chips lived up to its name. However the fish pie was a massive let down. There was a very deep layer of cheese topped mashed potato with a couple of scallops under the cheese. The filling was quite short on fish and the sauce had a wall paper paste stodginess, far too thick and gloopy to be enjoyed. In the end I picked out the fish and left the rest. The whole balance of the dish was wrong, far too much potato and sauce and not enough fish, and it was a very expensive mistake at £17. Sadly we will not be going back.

Visited 14 th April for what had hoped would be a lovley birthday meal. As is usually a excellent experience but unfortunately was terrible, ordered bread too start which tasty but extremely hard so a visit too the dentist too place a filling is now in order. one of us had fish bites and fish and chips waited over half a hour for main meals despite being quiet. Another table had arrived so waited a while too be table checked as only one member of staff on and don’t want too take the meal too the bar hence eating part of the meal the fish was wet and soggy so on checking mentioned that it was which was offered too be changed so I asked too have cod bites instead as they were better and had tried one. So sent the whole meal back COD bites came out and a portion of chips and were a lot better but on paying them bill it was mentioned that the fish had been left on the bill? Not that it was a bout the price difference but queried and was told quite rudely that I had eaten some of the chips so I had too pay for the chips. For reasons as above very bad service I was sat without a meal and had eaten some of the meal on waiting too be table checked in the first place and also I had eaten some chips not knowing that the fish was going too be sent back. !

Visited with friends on a midweek lunchtime. Good sized car park, lovely rural village. Place looks on the small size but when you investigate the inside it can seat 70!

Last minute decision to celebrate my husband's birthday by having lunch out. Where to go? We were very lucky to choose The Old Plough Inn at Egmanton. Delightful surroundings, attentive hostess and the food. Did I mention the food! We had beautifully tasting food for our main courses, melt in the mouth lamb rump and fillet steak. Too full to have a dessert but we promised to be back to sample the sticky toffee pudding. Thank you from us both.

Visited the restaurant at lunchtime on the Saturday before mother’s day for a meal with my Mum. We did pre-book, and our table was ready when we arrived. The menu choice was very good, and we went for the seafood selection, soup and bread and oils for starters. All were very good, especially the seafood. For mains we had the steak and ale pie, the salmon and fish and chips. The steak and ale pie was one of the best I have had- a thick pastry top over a dish packed full with steak and gravy, served with chips and peas. The salmon fillet was a good size and enjoyed by my wife. Mum had the fish and chips, and even though she only ordered the standard size fish (there is also a choice of whale size), it was enormous and thoroughly enjoyed! The chips were made fresh from real potatoes as opposed to deep fried oven chips, which was a pleasant surprise too. After starters and main courses, none of us had room for dessert!

Egmanton is just a few minutes off the A1 and well worth the short detour. There is a car park behind the pub and a very welcoming central bar area -light and airy but warm with a word burning stove which was most welcome the cold day we arrived. There are 2 restaurant rooms with enough privacy to be cosy. Ive never seen so many dried hops in one place - they festoon all the beams but add a softness.

We called in for lunch with elderly parents, lady there was very helpful, food was very good and we throughly enjoyed the food. I think this is worth a visit. The menu is varied with a good selection. Lovely surroundings. Excellent.

Lovely place, proper country pub, excellent value and professional friendly staff. Would have marked 5/5 if there were more vegetarian and vegan options.

A friend insisted on taking us and 2 others back to the old plough for a meal. 3 omnivores and us 2 vegans. We were a little unsure as last time the vegan offering was not very good. With that in mind we spoke with Lisa and John the owners to see what they would offer this time. After the ‘tell us what you’d like and we’ll try to do it for you’ part of the chat (never a good thing to say to old vegans unless you know your seitan from your aqua faba, and your tempeh from your tofu), it turned out that the butter pastry and eggy nut roast could be done for us without butter and egg after all (who’d have believed it?!) so we had a very tasty nut roast Wellington with Sunday veg followed by the wonderfully rich chocolate pot. Absolutely delicious and we were full for the rest of the day. So, fellow vegans, talk in advance to the owners and request the veganised Wellington. A special mention for the serving staff who were all attentive and made mention of the vegan nature (or otherwise) of everything brought to the table. Hope to return soon.
