The Plough in South Cambridgeshire

The starter was absolutely wonderful, but took about an hour to show up, then another hour between starter-main course. The pie wasn't great and the mashed potato felt like it'd been under the heat lamp all day

Had tea tonight what a treat lovely wholesome food, fully satisfied with the dishes served steak and Ale pie and the special of the day. No room for dessert sadly. Staff very happy, smiles and made us feel welcome as a visitor to the area.Accommodating, with " walk in" (we didn't book a table) unlike another local pub The JB. Thank you very much to Lucy who was kind and helpful and polite who was able to find us a table and wait on us with her colleague Ava. The food which was ordered arrived in a timely fashion and piping hot and was good value for money. Lucy deserves a pay rise (hint hint). The pub was full with customers which clearly indicates how popular it is in Duxford. Don't miss this absolute Gem; we will visit again if we return to the area in the future.

Lovely ambience, friendly staff, spotless surroundings & hot, tasty food! Two ladies working there were helpful, friendly & chatty.

Although a small quiet village pub we had excellent food and service from the mine hosts.

Took ages to place our order, mushrooms on sourdough as advertised was mushrooms on a slice of thick white supermarket bread, chicken and chorizo pie was microwaved to death, so much so couldn't taste the chorizo. LL's scampi was cold. Staff kept telling us what a bad night they were having, friendly enough but we weren't offered more drinks at any point after the ones we got at the bar. When we did get more drinks previous empties left on our very small table. Could do a lot better

Entry is into the pub (standing only) and pub seating area. Around to the left of the bar is the eating area. Think pub food. The fish and chips was traditional and the waitress most accommodating although we showed up without a dinner reservation. Located just around the corner from The Lodge it’s an easy walk.

Chose this place based on the good reviews, and all I can say is those people must have terribly low standards. Took a good 20-25 mins for someone to take our order and a further 25 mins to get our starters. When we asked about the soup of the day, the response was "tomato....nothing special". Much like the rest of the dining experience as it turned out. Mushrooms on toast was literally that....a bunch of mushrooms dumped on a slice of toasted basic white bread from a supermarket own loaf. No airs. No graces. No flavour. As for the main, well it was tepid at best. I have given 3 stars because the service was friendly, but overall, my experience was disappointing. Would not recommend.

Had lunch today and it was superb. Both if us had the pie of the day...steak and ale and..chicken n ham. Both were packed with tender meat and very filling. Served with a gravy boat each! Washed down with an excellent pint of Everards Tiger. The pub has a lovely 'local' atmosphere with friendly, welcoming staff. Highly recommended!

Wish I'd taken a pic of the 12oz double burger. It was huge! And delicious. Also served by friendly staff. Would go back for sure.

Good food In a traditional pub atmosphere.

Spent the best afternoon there wanted nothing just to hold my girl friends hand

Don't have breakfast if you're having lunch here - very generous portions, excellent quality and value for money.

Nice local pub in village close to M11. Sunny garden with lots of seating at the back. Usually have 3 Everard's draft beers on tap. Food menu looks decent, served lunchtime and evenings.

Menu looked like standard pub grub (pie, lasagne, burger) but was delicious - even the salad. Had steak as a special and was beautifully cooked. The chips were outstanding. And the service was very kind and helpful.

We came here and met with some relatives. Nice historic pub in duxford. Uncle came here and had pints during ww2 as a Canadian soldier. Food was great beers were traditional.

We booked for Sunday lunch as a halfway point between us and our son’s family. We’d usually swap the children over at Cambridge services but decided here instead. We arrived a little early but it wasn’t a problem. We all had the roast dinner including the children and we went disappointed. The meat was lovely & the veg perfect! Our son works for a big food supply company and even said how lovely it was commenting specifically on the gravy! Being ‘northerners’ we do like our Sunday roasts and this was highly enjoyable today. Will definitely be back (instead of the services 😂) a great little old fashioned pub just off the A11 (I think)

Met friends for lunch here which was great. Neither of us live nearby but it's midway between us. We ate in the garden function area which was helpful. The lunch menu had something for everyone. Not particularly unique but good and I can recommend getting extra bits like chips as they come in generous portions. Service was good we felt well looked after and the prices are reasonable. We will definitely be returning.

Very disappointed with our food especially the vegetable, I know vegetables need to be firm but they were not even started to be cooked could not even cut them they were that hard Definitely will not go back again

Lovely lunch here today. Very friendly service from everyone, and food was great! Home cooked and big portions. Couldn’t have been more helpful to us either.

A great "old school" pub/eatery. Not yuppie smart but a pleasant place well supported by locals and visitors - often dropping in from a visit to IWM Duxford. Very pleasant staff. Food is unfussy, honest and good value pub grub.

Lovely pub in Duxford with history. Stop in for a Tiger drought.

Found The Plough by pure chance, and I am so pleased we did. It has fabulous food, we had Sunday roast and everything was cooked to perfection. From the minute we walked in, all the staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Fully recommend a visit.

Friendly welcoming atmosphere, great food and friendly staff. Would recommend eating here

If you visit the IWM Duxford, on your way home drop in to the Plough for a pint and a meal you won't be disappointed, nice ale, really outstanding meals at very affordable prices, in a traditional pub.

We stumbled across this pub after visiting Audley End. The food was great! A lot of vegetarian options which suited us and the veggie chilli and veg sausage and mash were very tasty and large portions. Thank you guys.

Really good village pub. Lovely pub food at a good price and well produced. Staff very friendly, well worth a visit.

Great pub and food... very friendly and helpful..e

Proper British pub. Real ales. Home style cooking. Friendly service.

Well portioned and priced food. A nice friendly pub. I would go back. The lamb shank was juicy and generously served with potatoes and various vegetables. A nice retreat when visiting Duxford airfield

Food was delicious and very generous portions. The price was spot on for what you get. A lovely little pub and fabulous service.

Didn't eat but nice place for a drink

Good old pub with nice pictures and pool tables but do not buy a burger the patty is too small for the buns and it didn’t have anything else on it the steak and ale pie is good though

I was looking for somewhere nice for lunch near the M11 for the family and my dog, and found this gem a few minutes off the motorway. Very accommodating for a fussy eater, great quality food with big portions. Quick and thoughtful service. What more could you ask for?

Nice place. Hosts welcoming and helpful. Steak was tasty and chips very good and hot. Our guests enjoyed their meals too. Several vegetarian options. Flat entrance at rear and good disabled loo. We would go there again if in the area. Not good to leave through smoke of people smoking round back entrance.

Really good pub, the beers were well kept and the food was tasty and well presented. The staff were helpful and the place was packed. So nice to see a pub doing it right.

Good traditional pub. Good good and keenly priced. Very popular with locals.

REALLY tasty food at reasonable prices. Very clean with lovely traditional features. Friendly helpful staff. Would definitely come again

Traditional English pub with great food and friendly staff Ate here on one night during my stay at the Duxford lodge hotel. The pie was delicious and exactly as a pie should be, pastry all around and full of meat. The pub was virtually full which makes a nice change in the days of pub closures. Bar staff attentive even though very busy. Would I return? 110% yes 👍

Very welcoming staff. I visited on a rowdy evening as locals had been to the races. However, pleasant, good Pinot and great meal. Tasty. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful food,staff,atmosphere, choice of on tap ales and ciders,nice facilities for darts and pool 🎱, highly recommended

Very good food and pleasant staff

Great food, variety of beers and excellent service, everyone was very friendly and patient.

We were visiting the IW Museum at Duxford and wanted somewhere to eat in the evening , so we booked a table on line. What a gem of a pub! With welcoming and friendly staff. The food was delicious , we were made very welcome and even invited to sit with the regulars/ local residents after the meal and we had a great evening of fun and laughter.

Called in for something to eat on Saturday 10th February following a visit to Duxford IWM. Brilliant. Great service. Really warm welcome from Tracey and Mario and their staff. We were made to feel right at home. Will call back again when in the area.

We had a wake at the Plough, and it was brilliant. We can't thank the staff enough. Was friendly, cosy, great spread for all the guests. Will definitely recommend to anyone.

Had just visited IWM @ Duxford and did a Google search for a place to eat. The Plough came up as only 1.5 mile away and good reviews. We can only add to them. A pleasant welcome, good range of beers and guest ales. Food selection was from menu or specials on blackboard. Prices reasonable. When food arrived after short wait, it was good and plentiful. Note this is a pub pub. Can't remember when I last saw people playing domino's. So to sum up, good beer, good food, excellent service.

Very lively busy pub. Friendly staff and great food

Good food and beer, lovely village pub.

Super nice staff. The food was good and at a reasonable price

Thank you so much to all the staff for today. The spread that you put on for our mum's wake, the music, basically everything, was lovely. Nothing was too much for any of you. Again, thank you.

Long wait for food.cold.burnt roast potatoes meagre amount of veg awful Yorkshire pudding

Great home cooked food at a really reasonable price. Staff were friendly and service great. We will definitely be going back.

Wonderful home cooked food. Decent prices. Superb thatched roof! The landlady/person did a great job of looking after me and my parents today. Thank you very much. It was busy....a sign of a good pub. Go for the food. Stay for the service. Very easy off the M11 at Duxford.

Very slow service, despite pre ordering. Very small portions. Won't return

Good traditional pub. Great Beer, food and service.

Was there for a wake. Small venue but buffet food great

Had my walking christmas lunch here..it was excellent. Thank you.

Outstanding food.A perfectly run pub,staff are amazing.You're made to feel,very welcome.

Although I already knew,what a wonderfully pleasant pub,Mario and Tracey run.This was the first time I had,eaten a Sunday lunch.The Starter of creamy garlic mushrooms,was amazing and I could probably eat this everyday, given the chance!! My Roast Beef, followed with Roast potatoes and 4 FRESH vegetables,(Nothing frozen) along with homemade Yorkshire puds.Absolutely beautiful food from start to finish.I will be back,to try the rest of the Menu!! Amazing.Thankyou both.

We chose The Plough because we wanted to meet up with our daughter, but not drive to London, so we wanted somewhere and hour`s drive away for all of us, half way. My wife needed a gluten/dairy free meal, and the staff were very obliging, doing sausage/mash and vegetables. My roast beef meal was hot, tasty and good value for money. The pub itself was busy and had a lovely atmosphere, a "proper" pub. There was a good range of real ale, and I went for Titanic Brewery`s Plum Porter, which was very good. Will most certainly return.

Very welcoming friendly staff, good menu choice and reasonably priced

Good afternoon, In response to our attendance at the rare disease network evening meal on October 12th at 7:30 pm, we wanted to extend our gratitude to your team. Despite the late notice and taking orders via telephone, you accommodated our large group and were attentive to any dietary restrictions and allergies. We appreciate the hospitality extended to us, which included accommodating additional guests beyond the original reservation. Moreover, we're thankful for your flexibility in allowing individuals with strict dietary requirements to self-cater while still feeling included in the group.

Thank you to all at The Plough for accommodating us. We were a party of 12 that did pre book. Food was really nice, service excellent and loved the candles in the pudding for our grandchildren birthdays. We will be back.... if you'll have us ....sorry if we were a little loud 😉

Half way meeting point for my friend and I 2nd time in using the pub. Food was good nice atmosphere staff friendly

Good old style pub, just what you would expect. Good service, good selection of beers.

Proper pub, well kept and well priced beers, friendly staff and customers

Great little pub in a quiet vilage. Visited at lunchtime, and it wasn't busy. Food arrived fairly quickly and had good portions. Food was all right, sausages and mash were good, i just prefer gravy wasnt runy, but i was very hungry so cleared the plate without issues. My colleague had fish and chips, and it was good. He was well happy with it. Fish and chips portion might look small, but trust me, those chips are huge,

Been a couple of times now, the food is amazing. Service is great, drinks great! What's not to love. Will defo be back...

Our second visit to The Plough at Duxford. Again not disappointed, good food still at very reasonable prices, we also got 20% discount. Staff very attentive and friendly and food came piping hot.

Classic village pub. Thanks for welcoming a couple of outsiders,

Really rude, very clicky pub. We went here as a family with young kids intending to eat. The lady behind the bar was extremely abrupt. Not a welcoming environment. We left before ordering food as we refused to put money into an establishment which obviously doesn’t value walk-in customers or families.

We have taken our Springador puppy to the back garden here several times now and are always greeted by friendly staff and made welcome. The pub is recently renovated as is the garden, and both are simply beautiful. Our favourite pub :-)

Found this hidden gem on the journey down to the airport and what a great place. The pub is lovely and traditional. There are plenty of guest beers to try aswell as the usual drinks. The food was lovely and very filling. Would definitely visit again when passing by

Good range of real ales, decently priced for Cambridgeshire,nice friendly relaxed atmosphere, good food mid range prices.

We arranged to meet relatives here for lunch. It was a Tuesday and we were surprised how busy the pub was. Food was excellent and the staff very friendly. Prices were very reasonable. Big car park and also outside seating. Overall very impressed and will visit again.

Came upon this Pub by accident. Food was excellent, I can highly recommend the Lamb shanks. Welcome was very friendly, and the beer was delicious. Best Pub we visited during our short tour around Britain

We popped in for lunch in the way to Duxford War Museum. Great service from a very friendly employee. I feel that the food was slightly overpriced in my opinion. We had a salad, one burger and fries, one soft drink and one small alcoholic one and no change from £30. Food was but not amazing.

Found the pub by accident as we were looking for somewhere to eat off the M11 and what a pleasant surprise. A very warm and friendly welcome from the staff and patrons. Very reasonably priced! Good selection of beers 🍻 including Madri. Food came quick - even though it was around 19:00 and was delicious. Good selection of vegetarian options! There's a car park and garden to the rear of the pub.

Great place. First time visiting. Needed a meeting place, with food, near the M11 that was open on a Monday. So pleased we chose here. Food was great, although we all only had a snack. But chunky chips were very good. The staff were efficient, polite, and courteous. Overall, it was a very nice experience and would definitely recommend a visit.

Great food and lovely staff. Had the steak and ale pie - it was amazing. Husband had the chicken, ham and leek. Both pies just packed with meat. Will definitely return when we come back down to Duxford.

Menjar casolá molt bo, i ben presentat. Les raccions són abundants. El servei és molt atent i eficient.

Great village pub, super beer. Excellent menu And added bonus on a Wednesday they have. Food vans

Met my sister and hubby there great service great food and a friendly welcome

Brilliant service. I recommend the pie of the day 1

Stopped off here for some food on the way to the channel tunnel. Absolutely wonderful little pub with fabulous homemade food. Prices very good, service excellent. Would highly recommend.

Lovely home cooked food. Steak and ale pie was really nice. And apple crumble for desert. Staff very friendly would highly recommend.

Came here with family recently for the first time and were thoroughly impressed. It was a nice day so we sat outside in the garden to eat our lunch. All staff were very friendly and attentive. The menu has so many options and the food was of great quality. Really cannot complain, everything was 10/10. We will absolutely be returning.

Booked last minute for a large group, the staff were very accommodating (had two children with us) food was delicious and the service was great.

The plough is a wonderful English pub with a friendly atmosphere, quality food, and delicious beverages. From coffee to ale to gin you can’t go wrong at the plough

We were looking for somewhere to eat on a Monday lunchtime, most pubs don’t offer food on a Monday, but the Plough does! Had lunch here and it was lovely. Definitely would recommend.

Warm welcome to weary travellers!!

Me and my friend had a lovely meal last night at the plough (chicken burgers) lovely atmosphere, friendly staff fully recommend.

Small divert off M11 no real time added to journey. Home cooked pub food, no chain rubbish, had lovely lamb chops from the specials board. We will definitely seek them out again. Staff very friendly too

The food was delicious and the staff are very helpful and friendly

Excellent food staff very polite and welcoming

On entering noticed the good atmosphere .Ordered drinks and fish and chips for two , the staff were very pleasant and cheerful made us feel very welcome . The fish and chips didn’t disappoint they were hot fresh and tasted delicious. If I lived here this pub would definitely be my local. The prices are very reasonable too.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch, relaxed atmosphere. Food plentiful and very tasty. We had a starter, 2 Sunday lunches with extra sides & a coupe of drinks, came to £45. Very reasonably priced.

Great atmosphere, excellent food. Couldn't fault it.

Had lunch with friends who recommended the pub, average main course and great desert. Chicken supreme turned up as a deep fried chicken leg, which was dry and a pot of gravy (random) when I questioned it I was told it was the cut of meat and not to expect a sauce (chicken supreme can be a cut but it should be breast not deep fried leg), bubble and squeak was also random, mash and carrot (traditionally it would be pan fried with cabbage) but alas not today. On a positive note the crumble and custard was spot on , hey ho. I don’t expect culinary perfection from a pub , but I was looking forward to a nice lunch.

Very authentic experience, great food!
