The Plough in Cherwell

We attended our first experience at Jacobs Plough yesterday, which coincided with us watching Fawlty Towers later that evening. The coincidence is uncanny due to a series of episodes we experienced when dining that we could not help but look at it with humour. Given the opportunity to resume dining indoors yesterday we thought we would give it a try. Firstly they did not take a drinks order or bring us the menu....where’s Manuel when you need him. The menu arrived and it was explained to us all the items with a pink mark if off the menu. The choice was severely limited as if Basil typed it himself. You could imagine Sybil in the background puzzled as to why the menu was short. Limited to burgers/sausages we had little option so decided on two chicken burgers with guacamole. The meals arrived with one burger and chips and one plate of chips only !! Puzzled we asked where the other burger was ??? They forgot to make it !! For one minute the waiter could have been the forgetful major !!Anyhow it duly arrived minus the guacamole. How difficult was our request 2 chicken burgers with guacamole. You can visualise Manuel getting a slap for this ! A dining experience never to be repeated again....just don’t mention the war !!

Jacobs Plough is a fantastic place to visit. Sam and all the staff are lovely and very welcoming. The food was amazing!! Everything I had was so delicious. The rooms are also fantastic, so comfortable and absolutely lovely! I had a great visit and would highly recommend. I can’t fault it at all. Will definitely visit again.

Absolutely love this place! Delicious food, beautiful rooms and the best service I’ve ever received! I’ll definitely be back

Beautiful steak on ‘steak night’ in a very busy restaurant. Very pleased with my food which was cooked beautifully. Plough is becoming the place to be!

Another really enjoyable Sunday roast at Jacobs plough, the lamb was excellent and great idea. Pork belly looked good which I will have to try next time!

Amazing food, perfect service. Looking forward to our next visit soon can’t recommend enough. Short rib was fantastic

Came with some friends to get dinner and some beer- seating was a-ok, the host was nice but our waitress seemed a bit short and pre-occupied the night. Ordered two different cask ales, both were unfortunately flat as can be. Food seemed a touch too expensive for what we got (Not too much!) and the choices of appetizers/desserts if feeling a bit more hungry was not all that awesome.

Lovely evening at the Plough. The refurb looks great and the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back there soon.

Food was unbelievable would seriously recommend this place to go and the burgers are to die for and the sticky toffee pudding is like my grandparents home made 5/5

I visited the Plough for the first time today with family and I was blown away! The interior is beautifully decorated, tasteful, modern and extremely comfortable. There is plenty of seating in tucked away corners and thoughtful touches such as faux fur chair backs, low lighting and hooks on the table edges for your handbag! The service is excellent and all of staff are attentive and very friendly. And then there's the food... Absolutely delicious and so wonderfully presented. I chose the goat cheese salad for a starter, followed by the roast beef dinner - the roast potatoes were perfect - For desert, I had the best bread and butter pudding I have ever eaten!!! Huge compliments to Chef John :) For all of you fellow dog owners, the Plough is also dog friendly! By far, the best pub in Bicester... Don't change a thing :)
