Found this restaurant online and was well worth the trip. Had late afternoon lunch from their extensive menu and it was just what was needed. WE all had burgers (had planned a roast) but they were all amazing and would recomend a meal here

This is the second time we've visited and both times we've been delighted with the service and the food. Great sized portions, and the Hotdogs are absolutely huge, i couldn't finish it so took the rest home in a doggy bag! Thoroughly recommend The Plough, great atmosphere, friendly staff, top service and always clean and tidy, nice outside area to relax in as well and loads of free parking.

Telephoned at 6.10pm on a Friday evening to ask for a table for 2 at 6.30pm that evening. Polite friendly man on the telephone said they could squeeze us in. Perfect start. Arrived at 6.30pm and seated at a nice table near the bar area. Drinks order taken promptly which we love. I had a steak which was amazing and my husband had duck - also great. Only had one course and drinks but could not fault anything. Staff were very friendly and were extremely busy. There was a constant flow of diners coming in as we left. Just so pleased they fitted us in. Well Done!!!!

Me and husband visited this restaurant for my birthday meal. We have always wanted to visit and it did not disappoint. For starters we had the nachos. My goodness they were so tasty, the guacamole was lovely and fresh. Cooked to perfect perfection. For mains I had the tomahawk pork chop. I have no words to say how amazing it was. The meat was cooked to perfection and the best thing was that the food was hot all the way through till finish. My husband had the ribs and wings. He throughly enjoyed it. For dessert we had the peanut stack - amazing! Service was on point. They couldn’t do enough for us! Coming to this place was the icing on the cake for my birthday. Cannot wait to come here again.

The atmosphere and interior of the restaurant is nice and pleasant to eat in. The waiter Tom here nailed the job of accommodating me with my special needs and as I have anxiety he let us eat in the conservatory area so we can eat happily. The meat here is fresh and always well cooked and the fries are one of the best as well. Dessert menu though looks basic and very little choice which is the only thing I wasn’t as impressed by. And delivery service was ideal but was too short as it was a temporary thing but if it wasn’t temporary it’s that extra quality for local customers myself included.

No idea why people rave about this place, it’s average at best. The young staff are good and clearly work hard whilst the owners sit on their backsides drinking all night bogging out anyone who walks through their door. Starters were nice which is a positive albeit bought in frozen stuff! But then I guess it would be with a menu 4 pages long! Mains were average, pie over cooked and dry, Onion rings greasy. Ribs well cooked but not saucy enough, small little salad literally pointless. If you like big portions of low quality food, this is the place for you. Ice cream delicious, drinks selection brilliant.

We highly recommend The Plough. We try to eat there at least once a month. The spare ribs and mixed grill are the best I've eaten. It's always busy and from experience its best to book in advance, the car park can be full and many patrons choose to park along the approach road . Although perhaps a little on the expensive side the dining experience and food quality easily out weigh this. Honestly I've never experienced a bad meal here.

We have attended this venue on several occasions, and have recommend it to friends and family. We were very disappointed by our visit last week however.We had our hearts set on the “35 oz bulls head”, which according to the menu comes “butterflied with enough fries or creamy mash, onion rings, corn on the cob and salad garnish.” The steak, although beautifully cooked and seasoned, did not arrive butterflied. One very small portion of chips arrived with the me: without saying a word, the waitress said she would bring another portion. (This was added to the bill, which we later asked be removed.) Two very small portions of cobs were given, maybe 5 rows in height. An additional two onion rings were provided. The salad was inedible. How disappointing that a £56 steak for two, came with less accompaniments than a standard steak for one….A table of 20 sat next to us, towards the end of our stay. They were celebrating a birthday and became increasingly loud as the evening progressed. I appreciate birthdays should be celebrated, but they were incredible rowdy and there was no concern for surrounding patrons by the establishment. We had to cut our evening short as we couldn’t hear ourselves speak. When we went to the till to pay our bill (and ask for the additional fries to be removed), we were surprised that no waiters or bar staff were wearing masks. We had enjoyed several meals in surrounding restaurants that week, and masks were worn throughout. I’m not sure why things were different here…This place has so much potential, and the food is usually great, but we left the venue very disappointed.

If it were possible, it's even better than pre-lockdown! Extensive menu, old and new favourites with an American twist, and very good-size portions! We were celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary, and staff had decked our corner and table with balloons, banner and glitter, service from Bella was impeccable, and the food delicious; We had baked camembert and calamari as starters, then the lamb cutlets (cooked to perfection) with an interesting salad, and a T-bone, again well-matured meat and perfectly cooked. Managed a dessert - a flavourful raspberry sorbet... Excellent value, excellent all round and spotlessly clean. We'll be back!

I mean the weather helps! Good food, quiet surroundings in the beer garden at the front, in the shade, glorious summers day. The idyllic surroundings saw horses wander past.But what made this place great was the service, and the food. Quietly unobtrusive but attentive service providing some of the best steak I've ever had, and that was just sitting on top of a caesar salad, so not the most prestigious role for a slice of steak!We'll be back, no drinks at the moment, as my partner is 38 weeks pregnant, but it's a good drinks menu too. The mocktail was good, without even being on the menu (just tell us which cocktail you'd like, and we'll do it without alcohol) and the beers look good too.All in all, a great find. Enjoy.

We were very excited at last to revisit after long break. Extremely disappointed that the menu no longer included kebabs as these were gorgeous. My partner had never been before and i was really keen to bring him here. The wait for drinks took ages and when meal finally came I felt the staff not engaging with customer. I have worked in customer service all my life and the occasional “ how is your meal and a smile” goes a long way. Really feel that for the high price we expect REAL CHIPS and not fries which we would expect in other establishments. Finally the waitress dropped a load of dishes and cutlery right next to me and I jumped out of my skin but NO apology

We had a table for 7 at lunch on a Saturday, the place itself was quiet but there was still a nice atmosphere which was helped by good attentive service.Had the pulled pork nachos to start with and to be honest that was probably enough food. Happily perservered though with a main course and a dessert, both of which were equally huge and tasted good. It’s not flashy / sophisticated and it’s a bit of a journey to get there but i think you’ll find it’s a journey worth making.

We visited as two couples, had pre booked as we know how busy it can get. The place was bursting at the seems with people and many parties taking place. We were seated on time, after a little confusion, but was seated at our 8 oclock time. There was about a 45 minute wait before our actual order was taken. The wait for food was a little longer than expected, but thought that the overall service was good considering the amount of people. We choose to come here due to my husband being Ceoliac and they have a very good understanding of cross contamination and have a separate fryer for Gluten free foods. They have much on the menu that can be adapted too. The menu is vast and always plenty to chose. Our food arrived, always plentiful portions, pipping hot and amazing. Unfortunately our friends meal seemed a little on the smaller size then what had stated on the menu, but waitress said this was correct. Would highly recommend booking to avoid disappointment, the staff are always polite and the food is just scrummy.

There were 11 of us for a birthday lunch. On arrival the car park was full. The restaurant was packed, a reflection on its popularity. You felt that you were walking into an American 'Fridays' style restaurant with a Britsh spin. We were welcomed and shown straight to our table which had been decked out with birthday decorations, one of several on the day. Our orders were taken quickly but it took nearly an hour for our food to arrive. The food was good quality and the portions generous. After a series of birthday cake processions our birthday cake was ceremonially delivered to the table. Price to value the experience was very good. While the waiting staff were under considerable pressure they maintained their smiles and coped very well. Overall, very happy with the experience and everyone enjoyed their food.

I can’t even begin to express how good the food is here! It’s absolutely phenomenal. The best bar and grill restaurant I have ever been to! I will be coming back again and again. Thank you!

I have visited The Plough a couple of times now and can't say I have a bad word to say. They have Blue Moon larger on tap and deliver meals to die for! Being a rather small eater I can't always finish a but my other half never complains. Would highly reccomend for celebrations as the staff are very friendly and accommodating! All round enjoyably experience every time.

Visiting for our anniversary and a second visit since the re-vamp, we found it even better. The table was garlanded with greetings banners, the staff attentive and the dishes delicious. Portions are huge - must remember to starve for a few days before revisiting! We enjoyed buffalo wings, a huge gammon rib-eye with duck egg and sweet potato fries (him), while I had no trouble clearing all the 'pot stickers' on my starter plate - filled dumplings rather like the Japanese gyoza. This was followed by delicately pink lamb cutlets with feta salad and fries. Too much, but we had to share a pecan pie: scrummy...

Probably one of the best grill restaurants around! An absolute treat from start to finish. Food was amazing, cocktails were just as good. Highly recommend.

Always a great meal here and the portions are huge. The ribs are a must and the best I’ve ever eaten - literally falls off the bone. The servers are always friendly and he prices very reasonable for such good food. Great friendly atmosphere also.

We booked because we all love American style food and we were NOT disappointed. The food came at a nice pace not rushed . The staff were great and friendly. The food was great and lots of it . If you love American style food this is the place to try I had the bbq ribs and they were great .

I went here today with my children and grandchildren. I ate the baked Camembert for starter and rump steak for my main. There was so much food on the plate and the steak was cooked perfect for what I wanted. This was the second time I’ve been here and I would definitely go back again

I've passed by the Plough all the time and it looks like every other country pub off the beaten track. I visited during the week and it was packed for a week night. The interior in stylish and modern. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced. They don't believe in skimping on portion size,you won't leave here hungry. The only mistake I made was having a stater, not because I didn't enjoy it but because I counfnt finish my main. After our first visit we will definitely be going back.

Great music , good food, and plenty of it. Visited with family and was worth the drive, busy for a Monday night, so you must book. Ribs, steaks and prawns, with tacos on the side. Very friendly staff, and great outdoor sitting area.

We had a fabulous meal here to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday. They decorated the table without me asking which was a lovely touch!

Last night as a couple before we become three, so we wanted a nice meal and The Plough didn't disappoint. Ribs were great, as was the ribeye and wanting more coleslaw than a little pot is the only minor gripe. Nice staff and great food, high recommendation

What a wonderful place the Plough is, lived nearby for years but never visited. So glad we did. Wonderful menu with plenty to choose from. A lot better than your average American diner Bar, the Plough is more than that. Nice big bright bar and eating area.

We went in as a group of friends on a clearly busy Saturday night and was seated straight away. The menu had so much to choose from with an excellent selection of burgers and steaks. The waitress was very friendly and very helpful, the entirety of the evening! My Steak and Camembert burger was incredible and I would highly recommend! Good music and a lively atmosphere!

This has to be the ONLY Subway that do not stock Gluten Free rolls. I have tried several times but each time I receive a different excuse as to why they do not stock them. I was told that if I went to Cambridge, I would be able to get a Gluten Free 6" sub but in the meantime they could do me a salad. Why would I want to go to Cambridg?

What a pleasant experience. Upon arrival into building was greeted by staff who were attentive and polite and asked if any of the group had any allergies. This restaurant has a lovely bar and spacious seating. Food looked and tasted fresh with good presentation a credit to the chef. Waiting staff were very quick in ensuring every glass was filled even though it was rather busy. Highly recommend this establishment as a go to for food.
