The Plough in Chiltern

Great little village pub serving good food with a lovely atmosphere. Very reasonably priced. Not a big menu but what is on offer is always excellent.

Great friendly service, wonderful food at good price. My only gripe is the loos, don't run out of loo paper or hand towels as they're kept in the room outside of the cubicle. I'm disabled so it would have been difficult and awkward for me to mess about like that. There's also no drop down handles either side of the loo so some people may end up having pan accident because they wouldn't be able to 'go'. Plus the loo is very low down which is not good. If you're not disabled I totally recommend this pub restaurant, we'll be going back again. I'll be keeping a Shewee in the car just in case 😊

A lovely little pub - smart modern decor, but managing to still feel cosy. Friendly staff, great food, reasonably priced. Would definitely return

The worst Sunday roast I have ever had, the beef didn’t look anything like beef (light brown in colour). The Yorkshire pudding tasted like paper, the roast potatoes needed a chisel to cut. Needed steel teeth to eat them. Parsnips were burnt , tasteless. The gravy was the only thing that looked half decent, and guess what NO TASTE. BTW , THINK YOU ARE EXPECTED TO EAT WITN YOUR HANDS, AND WIPE YOUR HANDS ON YOUR CLOTHES. RANT OVER

Just had fish and chips take away from the Plough. Food ready on time, piping hot and delicious. Great pub, great food 5⭐️

Went as a party of four for a evening meal. Pub has had a refurbishment relatively recently which has created a light airy atmosphere within. Very busy when we arrived but we were met by a very pleasant female member of the serving staff who was friendly and professional throughout. Menu good and varied. I had the the Angus beef burger which was very tasty, sweet was a chocolate brownie with sauce and ice cream. All four of us enjoyed our meals. Far better quality and quantity that I endured in several so called Gastropubs. Good value in these days of increasing food costs. We will be back again.

Lovely pub, idyllic setting by the common. Decor indoors is cool and cosy while the outdoor seating is great when it’s sunny. Excellent Sunday roast and loaded nachos. Staff were very attentive and on the ball.

My group of Company Friends had a excellent Sunday lunch at The Plough. Lovely friendly staff & beautifully decorated.

Firstly, I am genuinly surprised this pub does not have all 5* ratings, we was a party of 12 and we all had a great meal, I went for the roast beef dinner which was excellent, I want the recipe for the gravy as that was the best I've ever tried in over 50 years of roast dinners ... will definately be going again

Have been many times this year . Food is excellent and the staff are terrific. Everyone at the pub worked their socks off last year during the pandemic and provided great take aways and deliveries where appropriate. Good value for money as well. Dont miss this one!

We had a superb Sunday roast here with family. The quality of the food was 2nd to none. Really nicely presented and friendly staff. Beautiful decor too.

We held a celebration to remember my father’s life in The Plough. They reserved part of the pub for us and were very accommodating. Set menu of buffet food was plentiful and tasty. Good selection of beers and spirits including gins. Lovely atmosphere and able to plug a USB into the TV screen to show a screen show of photographs. Would throughly recommend using this place if you are planning a small celebration with family and friends.

Fabulous service - lovely friendly attentive staff! This pub serves a really good selection of decent beers. Halloumi fries shared between 2 over a pint is amazing. We had the moretti battered haddock and chunky chips. I am not usually a lover of chips but these were amazing - cooked to perfection and not dry. My wife had the veggie bad boy burger with skinny fries which were also excellent. The prices are very reasonable and the service was outstanding. The atmosphere in the pub is buzzy and pleasant to be in. The decor is tasteful and full of interesting detail. We will be back!

We went for a Sunday Roast. The positives were a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and our waitress was fantastic. Sadly this was completely overshadowed by the food. The Calamari is a really poor starter. Any place charging £7 for Calamari should not be serving frozen, pre-battered, out of a packet Calamari. Calamari should be fresh and lightly battered, not really greasy and chewy. What let it down further though was the old fermented pomegranate seeds spread over the top that we’re simply inedible. Having made little fuss and sent it back, I was surprised to hear the chef thought that there was nothing wrong with the pomegranate. How a trained chef can’t distinguish, fermented and past its best pomegranate is beyond me. You only had to look at it to realise it was bad. The roast Beef was acceptable at best, the plate had excess water around the vegetables and the beef only came with the option of well done. By no means top drawer or refined for £16. There are much better options locally. Certainly won’t be going back for Sunday lunch but given how busy it was, I must have just had a bad meal.

Our visit was very disappointing and ruined a night out. The starters were whitebait and calamari both had the appearance and taste of being out-of-a-packet. We had ordered a burger and chicken Caesar salad. The service was slow and when our order arrived the burger had half a plate of skinny chips no garnishing at all. My chicken Caesar salad came as a chicken burger. Oh dear. I said what I had ordered and the waitress turned round and took it back to the kitchen. The waitress who had taken the order returned and said my order would be in 10 mins. I was expecting her to remove my wife's meal and redo the whole order. My wife had to eat her meal while I sat there. Not very good. After the ten minutes and still no meal I went to the bar and asked for my meal to be put in a container and I would eat it at home. I offered to pay for the meal and the waitress said they would not charge us for the drinks. One diet coke and a sparkling water, what an insult. Won't be going back there ever again. Staff were friendly is all I can say hence the 1 star.

What a great night! Everything was perfect. Staff, food and ambience were amazing! Would recommend it all!

The food is magnificent,I had the roast lamb,it was the greatest roast dinner I’ve had in a long time. The roast potato’s are the best and I will come back any time. It was delicious, thank you.

The team at The Plough have seriously outdone themselves in running a fabulous takeaway food and drink service in the face of extremely trying times.We had takeaway fajitas last night which were absolutely delicious.. generous portion sizes and very happy to accommodate our vegetarian request.Can't recommend this place highly enough, and can't wait till we can get back inside and enjoy the stunning refurb!

Good gastro pub, fully refurbished, great staff and good value Worth a visit in new format. Good addition to village.

After reading positive reviews we popped in for lunch on Saturday. Although tables were reserved we were able to use a table before the party arrived. My husband had the portobello mushroom burger which was delicious and a very generous portion. I had a sandwich and salad and was very pleased with my choice. Super value and nice light space to sit by the large glass doors. Will definitely return.

The Plough is under fantastic new management and has to be on your local “..go to..” list. Chris has passed ownership to his daughter who is doing the cooking’ “Mum’s portions”, with her son Chris managing and running an excellent front of house. His table manner is warm, welcoming and friendly. The pub has under gone an extensive refreshing refit and is bright, airy and inviting inside. We have just dined two evenings in a row after passing by and noticing the new look. Thursday was calamari and prawns pil-pil to start. Excellent. Then chilli and and fish pie. Superb. Tonight calamari to start and share followed by fish and chips and sausage and mash. All freshly cooked and simply excellent and extensive portions. Hence “Mum’s Portions”, as Chris puts it. The food both nights has been fantastic, big portions, piping hot, well served and always presented with a smile. Both nights an excellent Merlot. £50 and £60 for two including a tip. Clare behind the bar is warm and welcoming with nothing being to much trouble. If you are seeking good, wholesome, well cooked and presented British pub food then The Plough ticks every box. We will most certainly be going back. A lot. Highly recommended.

This local pub has changed beyond all recognition from a locals bar into a fabulous gastro-pub. Highly recommended. Fabulous atmosphere and decor and delicious grub.

Had a meal at the newly opened Plough. The pub looks fantastic, ambiance and service excellent and the food so good booked in again for Sunday lunch 5⭐️

I’ve driven past this pub for a few years but only went in for the first time last night. Menu had a good range of dishes, my Aubergine Parmigiana was delicious. Service was good and staff attentive. Would go again.

The Plough has had an extensive refurbishment and looks fantastic. Last night we visited and sampled the delights from newly opened kitchen. We were not disappointed. The food is as good as ever, the service is superb and there is a warm welcome for all drinkers and diners. Add to that the excellent value for money and there is absolutely no reason for us not to return soon.

This was our second visit for lunch to the pub. The first was two years ago! We liked it very much on our first visit,so wanted to return and were not disappointed! It is a very dog friendly pub and there were several dogs with owners including our own. The place has a very friendly, local atmosphere and everyone is very welcoming. You can sit in the public area if you bring your dog. There is also a separate restaurant area, not for dogs! None of the previous reviews have talked about the Italian influence in the food and wine at the pub! We had Arancini and Buratta salad as starters. Then a very nice thin crust vegetarian pizza with pesto. We also had the dish of the day, which was a crab linguine. All the dishes were very well prepared and delicious! The linguine was perfectly cooked al dente, and you could taste the crab meat in the linguine, which is not always the case! This was all washed down with a bottle of Montepulciano D'Abruzzo red wine, which went well with the meal! Lovely setting by the Heath and cozy atmosphere inside! Recommended!

Lovely sunny day popped in for Sunday lunch after a walk with the dog on the common directly opposite. Cozy family run pub with a lovely atmosphere. Lovely Sunday lunch with an amazing array of vegetables. Really tasty - best I have had in the local area. Will be back very soon to try the evening menu very soon. It’s probably best to book as the pub is quite small. Great personal service.

Great atmosphere and great food nothing to much trouble for the staff and management will definitely recommend

Fantastic meal tonight at The Plough Hyde Heath, nothing to much for the cheif even made me delious meal that wasn't on the menu. and big Congratulations to taking over the pub as yours

We loved it so much we arranged for our Holmer Green ladies Darts Team Christmas do. We wern't disappointed. The food is fabulous, great service. All 7 of us totally agreed. Cannot wait to go back.

Visited this pleasant village pub for lunch on Friday 7th December, 2018. Four of us altogether...3 had the fish and chips and 1 the fish pie. We all enjoyed the food ... it was fresh, well cooked, good big portion sizes...delicious. 2 of us had crumble with custard for dessert...again very good. My Aunt lives in the village and the pub has changed hands a few times over the years. The current family running The Plough were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. Definitely worth a visit for good quality and well priced local pub food. Will visit again.

We all went in here for a Christmas meal.

Welcoming and friendly. Superb Sunday lunch, we couldn’t finish. Highly recommend it for Sunday dinner. Really good red wine.

The team at The Plough provided a wonderful lunch for a group of us on Saturday 13th October. They were very flexible and tolerant to our 'cyclists' situation and time pressures. They could not have been nicer. The food was some of the best pub food ive had, both for hungry adults and kids. Thank you again.

It had been a while since we visited this pub. We were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The beer was very good as was the Sunday roast.

we went on a bike ride with the kids and stopped at the park opposite the pub for the kids to play and a cheeky pint. this turned into a spot of lunch where we found very helpful staff, lovely foo and an. all round pleasant experience. children friendly too

My husband and I went today for spontaneous sunday roast and were pleasently surprised food was absolutely excellent congratulations to Graham the chief, Manager Chris and barmaid Grace very friendly and welcoming. Amazing pub Thank you very much. Would highly recommend 10 out of 10

A small traditional village pub. The bar area has had a much needed revamp and now provides a great local pub atmosphere for a drink or a meal. Space is restricted until they can complete the refurb of the restaurnat

What a lovely little village pub, I have been there before in passing this was before the new owners took over Clean refreshing and inviting Food was amazing, staff helpful friendly and very attentive can’t wait to go back highly recommend this little village pub

Really good menu choice for all the family. Since the revamp we’ve been back a couple of times and now working our way through the whole menu, nothing has disappointed so far. Good choice of beers and wines and you’ll get a very friendly welcome.

The pub has had a much needed revamp. Tastefully done maintaining the village pub feel but with an updated clean finish. The Plough is between home and the office so we’ve used it twice for work as well as personally at the weekend.

It's been a while since our last visit to The Plough and what a pleasant surprise. It has undergone a makeover and has a fresh look to it, giving the place a real lift. The new chef has produced a wonderful "back to basics" traditional pub menu from locally sourced produce, and at very affordable prices. There was a choice of three ales, a roaring fire, and a great front of house publican making the evening how an evening should be in a local village Pub.

This restaurant serves a delicious Sunday roast, friendly atmosphere and excellent service at reasonable prices.

If you like pizza go to the Plough. Actually, if you would like to visit an authentic honest to goodness piece of Italy , without flying to Naples, then go to the Plough. If you want to go to a restaurant with individuality , pride , expertise, and sincerity , go to the Plough. Went there today and felt a sense of duty to report on this improbable gem. I think it's a pub as well ! Next time I eat out , it will be here.

Excellent traditional pub food. Very reasonable prices and really generous portions. Highly recommend this pub in the most beautiful English village in Bucks

Me encantó pub en el corazón de un orgulloso pueblo inglés. Mucho utilizada por los aldeanos locales, los senderistas y clubs de ciclismo. Una cálida bienvenida de Steve el publicano y Jo, Andy y Jason. Nada es demasiado bien merece la pena una visita para bajar al país de la tierra cocina a precios razonables. Steve tiene una significa domingo asado, así como otras especialidades como la casa hizo pastel de pescado, tarta y lasaña de pastores. Frente al campo de cricket del pueblo si te encuentras allí un verano soleado domingo

My wife and I went last night for a early meal. We enjoyed a really good meal, that was very well cooked and tasty. My wife decided to have Gammon but did not want the beans , when asked what she would like instead of...

Éramos un grupo de 16 personas con un precio acordado de 17,50 libras por dos platos con café y servicio. Teníamos la opción de 3 platos principales y 3 postres, y tuve el cordero, que estaba muy bien cocinados, y puré de patatas, una buena selección de verduras, y están cubiertas de una sabrosa salsa. Las otras opciones eran carne o pescado y patatas fritas, y también estaban bien conocidas. Para el postre tuve una esponja treacle encantadora con una generosa superficie de crema pastelera. Otros habían tarta de manzana con helado de crema pastelera o o queso y galletas. Toda la cosa fue una delicia, y mi única queja es que estaba tan lleno que no me pareció que fuera difícil moverse después!

Decidimos almorzar y que no nos decepcionó la comida en este nivel bastante tradicional pub del pueblo con vistas al verde. Después de haber dicho que el pescado había sido entregado, optamos por el pescado y las patatas fritas con una selección de guisantes o guisantes blandos, acompañada por una pequeña taza de salsa tartare. El jueves es fish and chips noche especial, una buena oferta.

I found this pub via the Tastecard website, and I'm really glad I did! It is a cosy little pub, with very friendly and accommodating staff. They were very helpful with taking us through the menu and deciding what to order based on their recommendations. I personally ordered the lamb shank and was not disappointed! For dessert, we couldn't decide what to order, so they actually prepared a platter with a selection of different desserts for us so we could have a taste of everything - a great idea! I would have happily paid full price for this, so with the tastecard discount it made it unbelievably great value! :)

We were visiting the Roald Dahl museum at gt Missenden and met our son with his toddler.We had our two young grandchildren and needed to find somewhere near for lunch that would suit all of our needs.tThe Plough was perfect. The children were made extremely welcome with a vast selection of food tailored to their appetites.Our lunches were also very good with a choice of hot and cold food.The curries were served to suit each individual person ,and the scampi was absolutely delicious.The children were delighted to be introduced to Poppy the Duck as a reward for eating all of their food!ideally situated opposite the Heath with a good safe play park for children.

Owners are friendly and efficient, food was very good. Nice atmosphere, typical village pub. Good deals on different pub grub during the week, and Sunday roast. Hefty portion sizes! Excellent value.

This is my local so I am obviously biased, but the food here is really very good and the Sunday roasts are fantastic - best I've had outside my own kitchen. Last Sunday, I had two slices of perfectly cooked rib of beef with wonderfully crispy roasties and loads of veg for a ridiculously low £8.50. Amazing value. The trio of local sausages is another favourite of mine. It's a proper village pub - unpretentious, friendly and very affordable. I feel so lucky to have it just down the road.

Went here with some friends on a Wednesday, it was very quiet, I think due to the terrible weather, wind and rain. However, it was very cosy in the pub and the food was very good. My husband had the vegetarian meal and said it was good, it must have been for him to comment. My friend and I ordered steak and chips, the steak was done just as we liked it. We used our tastecard so excellent value. Would go again.

This was a real surprise.Went out to lunch with an old friend who's off to the USA to live shortly and he took me to The Plough and there was me thinking it was an old English country pub with decent home cooked food.Well it is except it's run by an Italian who serves home made Italian food and the real thing not what we have got used to from the chain establishments.All as I can say is that it was worth the 200 miles round trip and I will definitely go again even after Mark has gone across the pound. Great food and excellent range of drinks too. If you like proper Italian food go to The Plough.

We love visiting this traditional olde worlde pub, which sits opposite a quintessentially English setting of a cricket green! There is always a very warm welcome, and the food is traditional, hearty, tasty, good honest pub fare. It is always delicious, piping hot, properly homemade and the portions generous and all served at very reasonable prices. This is very much a locals pub... which they have managed to keep secret from the rest of the world long enough! We are always made to feel very welcome and always visit The Plough, on Hide Heath Common whenever we are in the area. For good, honest, no nonsense food... this is the place! (There is another Plough in the area... be careful not to confuse the two!)
