Pretty little pub just off the main drag. Nice beer garden. My beer was excellent. And further proof that not all pubs are dying. It was buzzing in here when I visited.

Arrived at 9.30pm on a Sunday evening to be told that they were closing and “ had to be clear by10.00pm”. I was not even offered a quick pint to drink up fast. I’ve been going to this pub quite regularly for about 20 years but won’t be going there again. I felt like I was in a time machine and had gone back to 1950! I should thank them really. I went to Wetherspoons and had a nice evening. They are quite happy to serve customers!

Thank you. We were marshalling at the Remembrance parade this morning and the landlord came out to offer us coffee saying there were takeaway cups. When the first parade was completed we popped into The Plough to buy a coffee to warm up. The landlord gave these free of charge with some snacks. Lovely warm fire too. Great hospitality. Thank you.

Fantastic little pub close to the centre of Ashby. Cottage style building with a nice comfortable atmosphere, and welcoming hosts. This is a drinking pub with regular live music based around pop and rock mostly, which is well frequented by the locals. Can be a bit busy on Fridays and Saturdays, but this just adds to the atmosphere. There is a large beer garden at the rear, with shelter, and sometimes the bands perform outside which is rare and very enjoyable. Well worth a visit if you are into music and fun.

The pub looks fantastic, inside and out. The waiting staff are efficient and friendly but the food could do with being better. The hallumi stater was very nice but the main meal had soggy oven type chips and the vegetables were overcooked and cold. We were a group of seven and we all had different dishes and not one of us could really say we enjoyed it. My friend only gave it a 4 out of 10. Its quite pricey so we should expect a better quality of food. I will not recommend this place.

Es raro encontrar una joya como la barredora Inn Ashby. Gran selección de cervezas, sidra y en proyecto de lager actualmente no hay comida pero el cerdo scratchings memorable.. "Anfitriones mía" son más que acogedores y una multitud de simpáticos asiduos están más que dispuestos a conversar con usted. Una experiencia genial y se lo recomiendo a cualquiera que le guste todo lo que es genial sobre un gran pub británico. ¿mencioné los dardos y un pub piano?

Pub local, escondido detrás de la calle principal de Ashby. Es un buen viejo tiempo pub, no muchos de los más jóvenes, más para beber. tradicional La gente usa principalmente por que son muy amables. Dirigido por Bob y 'vedette y el personal. Craqueo pinta de San Miguel, pero son también una gran Ale pub. También tienen un buen desayuno por las mañanas. Y normalmente hay entretenimiento de algún tipo en el fin de semana. Un buen pub tradicional para un bocado agradable beber/comer!

Was on a night out with friends and decided to pop into the Plough as i hadn't been in for several months and fancied a change of scenery. Wish I hadn't bothered... The young girl behind the bar seemed more interested in flirting with customers and gossiping with her friends than in serving anyone. Took so long to get served at one point, we ended up walking out and going to the bull. It wasn't even that busy so no excuse for not providing better service.

Dreadful, used to be the only decent pub in Ashby, with decent beer and somewhere you could actually have a conversation. It's gone downhill big time, don't see the point now, go to the Bull, Lamb etc. all I can say is Karioke.

This used to be a great place for a pint but having just visited recently I'll certainly will not be going back. The place stank probably why it was empty and the prices, thought I was in London. Pint of lager and a vodka tonic £11. I was in The Shoulder of Mutton before going there and it was £5 cheaper. Where they got there prices from I don't know. From being one of the best pubs in Ashby it is now the worst.
