The Plough in Rushcliffe

What a beautiful pub with lovely attention to detail. Clean, friendly & welcoming. Pies are exceptional. Would return & recommend. Wide selection of guest ales. Dog friendly. Owner is approachable & dedicated to ensuring everything is just perfect for your visit. Efforts to make this a great pub hasn’t gone unnoticed . See you again.

Had Easter lunch here with the family today , the food was excellent ! They had asked us in the morning if we wanted to reserve anything from the menu , so we were able to get what we all wanted . It really was one of the best Sunday lunches we have had . Service was efficient & friendly , well priced as well , good portions .

Mothers day. 9 of us and Storm the dog had a lovely meal and time here today celebrating mother's day. The staff could not have been more helpful , even making garlic bread for young Luke. And a takeaway meal for 1 mum was ill at home. Just a shame there was no beef left fir me but the pork more than made up for it. Our dog Storm lived the cracking.Our 2nd visit and we will be back. Thanks 👍

Had recommendations to try the pies. Was not disappointed. Food, staff & atmosphere was amazing, could not fault anything. Reasonably priced. Need to try the Sunday roast next. Five star ⭐️

We had Sunday dinner at The Plough to celebrate a family birthday and the ages of our party ranged from 3 to 84 years old. The atmosphere was lovely - a proper country pub feel. We had starters, mains, kids meals and sweets - all of which were delicious. Everyone in the party enjoyed their food. I particularly liked that on a Sunday there was an option other than a roast. Portion size is extremely generous - the pies are huge! The staff were friendly and accommodating. We look forward to returning

Immense roast dinner lovely Yorkshire pudding and lovely staff especially Sam behind the bar. I would highly recommend after a dog walk on a sunday thanks Kirsty!

Can honestly say we loved this place from the minute we walked in . Landlord and landlady were extremely pleasant and friendly and it will go down as being one of the best Sunday dinners we have had and plenty of it too. The apple crumble was absolutely delicious 😋 and the service was excellent. Also enjoyed the 5 mile walk along the canal afterwards. A perfect Sunday

Cracking lunch at the Plough Inn …. Great welcome , great food and great service especially given the “uniqueness” of one of our party (mash & chips !! ). Those pies ! My word , love my pies and that must be the best I’ve ever had (there’s been a few) …. One of those days where you just wander into a place and have a great experience.

Great Pies! As were the chips gravy, and veg. Excellent beer and very friendly staff. Overall a very enjoyable evening.

Our first time here for food and it won’t be the last. I think Sunday lunch is a benchmark for food standards so given it was exceptional, we are keen to try the other ‘special’ evening menus. From arrival, service was prompt. My husband was deliberating on beers and was given the option of beer samples before ordering. Our table was in the snug with a card game on the table which was a nice touch. Food order was taken promptly and my queries as a vegetarian were answered thoroughly with options. The food was excellent, freshly cooked with fresh ingredients. Proper portions too. My veggie meal (mushroom wellington) was fabulous with another great option (lentil cottage pie), which are great choices and different to the normal slice of uninspiring nut roast at other establishments. We had a side of cauliflower cheese and my husband scraped the dish clean it was so good. Puddings looked lovely but the main was so large we would have struggled, next time I’ll wear an elastic waistband and squeeze in a brownie. So glad to have found this, would happily recommend and look forward to visiting again soon.

Lovely Sunday lunch at this character pub by the river. Food was great, staff friendly and helpful. Only gripe - no cauliflower cheese 😆 Highly recommend.

Fabulous pub! Came for lunch and a few drinks today. Food was great, the chicken burger is epic! Great portion sizes. Good selection of Belgian beers which made the husband happy. Staff are welcoming, friendly and super helpful. Play park for children and a nice decked area outside too. Fabulous experience. We will be back and highly recommend a visit.

Just a quick stop for dinner, but very pleasantly surprised. Wonderful little pub in gorgeous surroundings located alongside the Grantham canal. Polite staff, good mix of beers on tap and a little food menu. The fish and chips have got to be the best I have had in a very long time. I cannot write the words to do it justice. The fish was in a light batter, flakey and delicious. The mushy peas were with a hint of mint and were beautiful. I think the chips are cooked in something illegal as they were amazing as well. Please come here and ask for the fish. You won’t be disappointed!

I booked The Plough Inn for the hen do I was organising. We booked the table for 15 people. Kirsty and the team were amazing! The entire hen party had nothing but positive things to say about The Plough Inn. Kirsty listened to everything we wanted, to make sure the party was personalised, wonderful, and fun. She put our party in our own room and decorated it beautifully with the decorations we provided. A very friendly service and we recieved our pre-ordered meals promptly. The staff were not phased by having a large party in the pub! The roast was delicious and the cauliflower cheese was the group's favourite- and it was agreed some of the best cauliflower cheese we had ever had! The Plough Inn is a lovely pub, with great staff and delicious food - I would recommend everyone to go!

My girlfriend's family have often visited this pub, and have always been generally satisfied. We were visiting from Lancashire, and her brother had booked a table for 8 people plus a two year and an infant. We ordered our drinks from the bar, so no problem with having to wait. The meal orders were taken, of which 3 were the Roast Pork, Yorkshire etc, and one was a Chicken Baguette. 5 of the meals arrived, but the 3 roast pork meals and Chicken baguette failed to make an appearance, eventually after about an hour, the waitress arrived with 4 pork baguettes... whoops.. It took over half an hour to rectify this mistake, by which time the other diners had nearly finished their meals. The accompanying apple sauce had to be asked for. The two year old child was playing with one the toys provided by the pub, and yes it was a bit noisy and irritating but hey ho, a nearby table complained, and we were asked to stop the child playing with it. This is a child and dog friendly pub, and I would have thought the other patrons were aware of this. The food however was good and tasty, but based on the whole experience, I am hard pushed to give more than 2 stars.

A very welcoming if slightly disorganised pub. The Sunday lunch was very good, reasonable sized portions with a selection of vegetables. The puddings looked homemade.

Just met up with family at this very child and dog friendly pub What a lovely Sunday Roast we had and how welcoming to our lively grandchildren Would definitely eat here again The Roast Pork Belly was great !

5 of us came here on a Thursday night and had a great meal . The steaks were great and the Plough Burger was lovely. Good food at a reasonable price. Place has a really friendly atmosphere as well and its dog friendly.

We had a great family celebration lunch in the garden at The Plough for 30 of us. Kirsty, Chris and the team really looked after us and made a very special day. Delicious roast in lovely sunny beer garden and great space for the kids...

Chris and Kirsty have done wonders with this pub, a good selection of food/drinks and always thinking outside the box for entertainment, food & events etc. The kids play area is top notch and keeps the kids very happy and safely contained. The food is...

Lovely ale and the best fish and chips EVER! Amazing batter which stayed crispy - delicious fish and real chips!

Friendly people and enjoyed a great burger and fries for lunch in the large beer garden. Perfect location next to the Grantham canal and basin. My first visit to the pub, will return!

An incredibly friendly greeting on arrival. Monday is "Pie Day". We ordered two homemade pies from their selection which came with very, very, good chips. Good selection of craft beers (some of which we tasted before deciding) and they do a Pie and drink for...

It was bank holiday Monday and the Plough had its usual "pie Monday" offer so we went to find out if it was any good. The staff were brilliant and the place has character. We had the meat pie which was very nice. Would recommend...

We ate a very satisfying lunch here on Saturday whilst cycling on the Grantham canal. Tasty and reasonably priced food and drink served by friendly staff.

I've been to The Plough several times and have always received the friendliest of welcomes. They serve a great range of beers and lovely pub grub too - well worth the walk from the next village! Chris, Kirsty and their team really are community champions...

We only went to this fabulous country pub because of the beer festival.as soon as we walked through the door we knew it was a special place.the staff were lovely, and the landlord and landlady couldn’t have done enough for us .we both had steaks...

We was visiting the area and decided to go for a walk down the canal. We went in the pub for one drink and ended up staying for over 5 hours! This pub is such a welcoming and friendly pub. It has lots of games...

After a jog along the canal we stopped for lunch here. Lovely atmosphere, wholesome food, good range of beers, and a warm, friendly barman/landlord . Will certainly visit again

What a fabulous pub. Staff were so warm and welcoming. Steak and Stilton pie was excellent as was fish pie. Can't wait to visit. Plan to have birthday meal there as was so impressed

Can't tell you how much the new landlords have made the difference, this pub is amazing and always had such great potential and now we finally have someone who is making it the best! The food is just perfect, so many beers to choose from, always a great atmosphere, all staff are so friendly and welcoming, they love dogs coming in, they hold fantastic events and the specials menu variety is amazing; anything from tapas to proper English pub food. The's too many great things to list! It's amazing to have a fab pub in the village again, thankyou!

We stayed in the village for a night so popped in for a few drinks. The pub has a very nice atmosphere, a very good bar and the restaurant looks really good. We really enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning.

Love this pub and eatery.Been in a few times for a pint after a walk. Lots of real ales and staff always friendly. Basing my review on our last visit for a Burns Night dinner (veggie style).Our server was great and a real foodie. All three courses cooked fresh, great portions and value for money. Not rushed and nice ambience. Starter was a type of croquette whuch was just delish followed by veggie haggis, neeps, tatties and veggie gravy! Sooo good... Dessert a whisky mouse and yes you could taste the whisky. I love this pub and wish it was our local but id be always in there.. Cant wait to try Tapas, Pie and curry nights. Well done you guys

Friendly pub with good beer and food. The pork chop and bean stew was very good as was the stick toffee pudding. Nice location next to the canal with plenty of parking.

Lovely midweek supper, good service with great attention paid to my wife's shell fish allergy. Barman knowledgeable about wine too. We shall definitely be going back!

We've known The Plough for 36 years. But now it's top of the league; food is wholesome and excellent value - piled high in a appealing twist. Totally recommended, especially if tied in with a visit to the rapidly-being renovated Grantham Canal adjacent. The service is excellent as well. Visiting from Germany we found The Plough to be competitive with the best. We will return!

The previous landlord delivered an enjoyable pub experience, but disappeared unexpectedly, leaving the pub in "care and maintenance" for a while.The new landlords have (I think) two other pubs in management and this small group has thought carefully about what makes a good village pub.A good range of craft beers and cider, good bar and restaurant food (the Sunday Roast Beef bun in the bar is great value, but then so is the Sunday lunch itself!), and a warm and friendly atmosphere led by the Landlady makes this a well-supported village pub.Landlady, staff and regular drinkers are all very dog-friendly and The Plough is for us once more a first-choice destination. Many thanks to all involved in making it that again.

Unpretentious exterior, good food, good real ale, friendly staff, warm welcome, real fires. Excellent value on the one, two or three course special menu. Well placed location when walking the Grantham Canal, opposite Hickling canal basin.

New management has made such a difference at this pub. I have eaten with friends and family several times since they took over and everyone has always remarked on what a lovely time they've had. Food is extremely good value, well balanced and perfectly seasoned. Something for everyone. Tried the Thai on the special menu tonight and haven't eaten any better in Thai restaurants at triple the price. It also allowed us to try bits of each others dishes which added to the social occasion. Husband hadn't eaten anything all day and so, plumbed for the gut buster burger and it certainly was. It also managed to be delicious. As everything is cooked from scratch by an experienced chef, allergies and intolerances are no problem.A lovely evening. Thank you to all for the very warm welcome. Wishing you much success and a long stint in the beautiful village of Hickling.

Warm greeting but then we waited over twenty minutes before anyone would take our order. Gave up waiting for service at our table and went to the bar to get our next drink. Another long wait whilst all the apparent regulars in the bar were served. After another long wait food finally arrived and, for the prices charged, this was nothing special. The re-fit of the eating area is lacking any country pub atmosphere, and due to the lack of soft furnishings and all hard surfaces, is incredibly noisy. We used to come here often and thought we’d try it again after many years away. I don’t think we will be returning anytime soon.

We called here for lunch when we and the dog were made very welcome by staff and locals alike. We thoroughly enjoyed out Roast Beef and Onion rolls with chips and were impressed that they sold regional beers. We definitely recommend a visit.

I have been to the Plough for a few times since the change in ownership. Generally I have thought that the new owners have improved the pub for the better. That said the last meal that we had for four was not good value. It was well cooked, but the portion sizes were too small for the prices charged.

We live in the next village and our Grandson came to visit and asked if we could go to the Plough for lunch, The interior of the pub looks very nice.I'm sorry to say that we won't be visiting again for Lunch, we were hoping to have a simple lunch and looked at the Menu and Specials Board, both certainly not a simple lunch, I ordered the Mushrooms on Toast, yes there was part of a mushroom on a small piece of toast, which for £5 was a Rip Off in my opinion.The owners have gone very upmarket and they certainly didn't pull the customers in today only 4 other people in the Dining Area, in future we will go across the road to the Wharf Cafe for better value.

We chose two or three courses from the specials board, and were particularly happy with the carrot and cumin soup, Lancashire hotpot and Eton mess, washed down with Butcombe Gold ale. Very helpful staff and service, we'll be back!

Traditional local pub with a great restaurant. Staff always friendly and helpful. Amazing food and great beer garden.

The new landlord has breathed new life into The Plough. We visited last evening for a meal and were pleasantly surprised by a varied menu plus Italian Anti Pasto on the specials board. The meal was very good.The staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was just what a country pub should be. The pub was full, lots of buzz, we will be going back againThe village needs this pub.

Absolutely Amazing food, great staff and fantastic beer. Just a proper English country pub, how they should be. Fantastic.

Myself and my family visited for Sunday lunch 2 weeks ago. Wow...absolutely beautiful. First course was lovely, then main Meat and vegetables cooked to perfection and great portion sizes. Would have loved to see home made Yorkshire puddings but it didn't detract from the dinner. Service was also great and so I highly recommend anyone going. Great afterwards to go for a walk across the road to see all the ducks and wildlife

Under new management and ownership. Fabulous food, great choice of real ales, wine and drinks. Friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor children's play areas. Would recommend booking as can now get very buy for meals, especially weekends.

Me alegra ver el Arado @ Hickling de nuevo abierto. Buena comida, buena cerveza. Acaba de reabrirse bajo una nueva administración, pero está trayendo un poco de vida al pub. Muchos planes para el futuro. Se admiten perros, se admiten niños con una zona de juegos al aire libre ubicada en un enorme jardín con agradables paseos por el canal frente al pub. Abierto de 12 a 11 pm de lunes a sábado, de 12 a 10. 30 el domingo. Sirve comida de miércoles a sábado de 12 a 9 pm, de 12 a 5 pm (asado tradicional). 4 cervezas reales en este momento con vistas a 2 más que se agregarán. Actualmente Black Sheep, Abbot Ale, Harvest Pale y Peter's Gold Rush de la calle.

What a shame it's closed. Don't bother with the journey, it's on my walking route so will let you know when it's open. This used to be a great little pub, but went mucky and boring...... I'm saddened but not surprised

Nestled in the heart of typically English countryside next to the canal is this lovely little traditional pub. Since I was a lad it has had an extension but not lost it’s charm. We went on the recommendation of a friend and really enjoyed ourselves. Of course on a Saturday lunchtime it wasn’t packed but that was to our advantage and the service was quick and friendly. The food was delicious, the homemade pie especially tasty. I’ve not had a chicken, bacon and cheddar cheese combination before but it works well. A pint of Bass to wash it down. Joy. We were served by the landlady who was charming. This always reflects to me the atmosphere of the pub. There is a good outside area for sitting out when the weather is warm and the canal is across the lane. Kinoulton is the next Village and is linked by the canal. The Neville Arms is a couple of mile walk along the canal and makes a picturesque amble between the two pubs. If you have dogs this is a great way to spend a Sunday.

After reading on the reviews about "new owners" we thought we would give it a try again.

Lovely food - best Sunday lunch I’ve had. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Previously visited 2 years ago and heard new owners had taken over. Highly recommend.

8 of us went last night and had the Pizza and Prosecco deal. The pizzas were delicious, crispy bases and a lovely choices of toppings. All for £10.00 - amazing value. Service was second to none too. I understand they have “all you can eat rib night” once a month on a Wednesday and this is always a sell out. We shall definitely be there at the next one. Give this friendly pub a try. Good honest cooking.

Visited for the ribs night with a few friends as we'd heard good reports about this welcoming country pub. We weren't disappointed,as we had such a wonderful night we want to go again. The ribs were delicious and just kept coming, the staff made it a pleasurable night as they were so helpful and attentive. Can't believe how cheap it was!!! It's a pity it's not located closer to Nottingham. Thanks for a great night - we'll be back and there'll be more of us now i've spread the word.

Took the family five of us here for Sunday dinner highly recommended had 3 courses and all were excellent, staff were friendly and very helpful, afterwards had a drink in the large beer garden

Stopped in at The Plough Inn Hickling after a lovely Sunday walk in the surrounding areas of the pub. The Sunday roast was exceptional, beef beautifully cooked, huge portions, and amazing Yorkshire Puddings. Best Sunday Roast I have had in ages, in which the whole table agreed.

Thursday evening 8pm. Restaurant 3/4 empty. Uncooked starter sent back. Further 30 minutes still no main. Paid for drinks and left. Response of staff shocking. There won’t be a second chance.

I eat a fantastic roast beef lunch at the plough nearly every weekend. When the food, and price are so good and the service is so friendly I cannot justify going to anywhere else. Especially when the Yorkshire puddings are so good.

Went the other day... Most amazing Sunday dinner! The gravy was to die for! The staff are lovely and the beer garden and decking had a lovely atmosphere. But what really stood out was the quality of the food and excellent service. Lovely place to visit i would highly recommend the new owners are lovely can’t fault it one bit!

We stopped drinking at the Plough just before it changed hands because the standard of beer and quality of food had hit rock bottom. Decided to go back and see how things had changed under the new management this week and WOW, what a transformation. Smaller range of beers but the quality is now right up there with the best - you can tell the new owners know how to look after it. And the food is the best I have tasted for many a year - possibly in any country pub in the whole of Nottinghamshire. It is very reasonably priced too, and well presented. Hats off to the chef.

21 wary hungry walkers were well looked after today with fish & chips or sausage & mash all came with very friendly service. We were also given a cake with our tea. We will be back. Jenny

Went to the Plough summer party friday night, had a brilliant time, great music and great atmosphere, even tried some new ale from their beer festival. Thank you Plough for a great night.

Have visited the Plough several times and always been very pleased. But today's visit was disappointing while waiting for our meal, a small dog possibly one of the owners (but can't be sure) did a poop on the carpet about 10 foot away from us. We couldn't believe it staff very apologetic but its not what you expect in a public eating area, didn't do much for our appetite. Moved to another table but struggled to enjoy meal. Menu not as varied as it used to be.

Had a meal here last week. The Haddock was the best I've tasted for a long time and in a light crispy batter, Very nice. The Chips, whilst looking dark, were lovely, and it's nice to see Chips that don't come out of a freezer having been mass produced. Dessert was excellent. A good choice of wine and the whole meal was very reasonably priced.

We had a group dinner of 19 people. We pre-booked and pre-ordered our meals. The food was excellent as was the service. A good evening was had by all. My Lamb Shank was first class. Prices were reasonable.

Once again we have had a really great meal at The Plough.

My wife & I had dinner here tonight (Saturday). Reading a few reviews got us a little concerned but we needn’t have been. It was quiet but we received a friendly welcome and very good service all evening from the two young ladies and they even organised us a taxi as we weren’t familiar with the area.

Having eaten and travelled all over Europe there’s nothing more than I enjoy than a nice meal at an English pub. I found this pub to be slightly pretentious with the food not delivering. A young blonde lady greeted us and was very false and seemed to busy to answer our queries. First sign of what was coming. The food was bland and didn’t deliver visually either. Price not to bad but we won’t be visiting again. Much better alternatives in the local area.

Popped in Sunday for lunch with my family sat straight at a table staff were really friendly and helpful in recommending dietary needs beef and pork were both delicious the size of the Yorkshire puddings were almost as big as the county it's self aswell as really tasty gravy I see some of the bad reviews must normally eat at national chain pubs so they might not be accustomed to proper food will deffenatly go back for a family meal at Christmas

I have heard good things about Sunday lunch so after a very mediocre meal on my last visit we decided to give it a try. On being shown to the first table which was filthy, we moved to the next. Had not even sat down and the plague of flies in the restaurant was horrendous so asked to sit outside. Roast beef was inedible, and I could not even cut it but they did replace it when asked, along side another in my party. The veg was just a pile of mixed up mush and the gravy - well sorry but that was an insult to gravy, was just swimming and congealing all over the plate. What on earth has happened to this pub? You really need to up your gain. I for one will certainly not recommend - and I do not take pleasure in writing this for such a local ammenity.

Over ambitious in food and service - think they are better than reality shows. Would have been reasonably priced if improved a notch or three

We ordered our meal at 7.15pm. Bear in mind this was advertised as Pie Night.. we ordered a pie off the blackboard and camembert . The pie was with chips and peas, the camembert with crusty bread. 40 minutes later I asked when we were likely to get our meals to be told well we have a large table over THERE!! A table of 8 agreed .... large WELL!!!! Anyway eventually my pie arrived by this time almost an hour later it was BURNT to a cinder and my wife's camembert had been over cooked and was awful. The crusty bread was OK!! I sent the pie back and we picked at the cheese. Needles to say we WON'T be going back.

Another amazing meal. Lovely fish cakes with a really tasty red cabbage slaw. Great value main course at £8

Booked a table at The Plough on Saturday night for 6 of us to celebrate my husbands birthday. Starters of bread and dips were ordered - the breads were OK but it looked as though they were offcuts left on the bread board and the 2 dips were approx. 1 tbsp. each - we had to ask for more. Mains arrived. I had ordered a medium ribeye steak and had to send it back - it was BLACK and resembled charcoal. Whilst waiting for someone to return to our table, my friend announced that the chicken in her 'kebab' was raw, and I mean RAW. She thought the texture was not right when chewing and after putting on her glasses and inspecting the meal, she found the chicken to be raw. After waiting for a while, I went to find someone - the supervisor. She apologised and offered to replace our meals. My friend decided to go for the haloumi kebab instead of the chicken. We waited, and waited. The other four members in our party had finished their meals and it was in total 35 minutes before replacement meals were brought to us. My steak arrived minus salad garnish and stilton sauce and quite honestly, it was a smaller version of the previous piece of BLACK CHARCOAL I had originally been served. Then my friend announced her haloumi was cold! The Supervisor has dashed off before we could say anything so again I went to find her. Again she was apologetic but I asked to see the Manager or the chef. The Manager was not in and the chef did not venture from her kitchen. We refused the meals and refused to pay which the Supervisor accepted and again apologised. Although my friend had eaten some of the raw chicken, fortunately she was OK the next day, however it could have been a very different story. And with regards to my steak - what a joke to be served 2 cremated steaks. Absolutely disgusted with the food and service - totally ruined an evening out to celebrate a birthday. Definitely won't be going there again and I would advise anyone considering eating there - DON'T!!!

okay so I have just been to the Plough for the first time on a Sunday for the roast - just fantastic! a landscape of potatoes with majestic mount yorkshire pudding in the background, below rolling fields of succulent beef leading down to a lake of just the best gravy with hedgerows of veg of all sorts meandering around the edges. and did I say how big it was? wow - fab.

We were on a journey and popped in here for a lunch one Sunday. They were busy and we had no booking but they were very happy to accommodate us and gave us a very warm welcome. The restaurant was warm even though there was thick snow outside and the roasts were very tasty, the meat tender and the portions very generous. There was a big choice of desserts which were lovely.

I have just been fed the worst meal I have ever received in a restaurant. The flavours of everything on my plate were unpleasant. I cut into a black cloudy thing thinking it was probably meat, but no, it had started out as a Yorkshire pudding before it was turned to charcoal. If I’d have taken that out the oven it would have gone straight in the bin and not on anybody’s plate. not even my own. The meat was described as roast belly pork, it had every appearance of being reheated in thick slices, blackened skin, no crackling, and far more stuffing than meat.

An empty restaurant on a Friday evening should have altered us. Obliging staff but very disappointing food. Sadly we will not return.

Went for sunday lunch on mothers day and we all had the roasts again which were excellent, choice of meats, 3 courses £15 , good choice of desserts too, so we decided to call in last night , wednesday pie night , there were 5 of us and we all chose the beef steak home made pie !there wasn't a bit left on anyones plate ! Pie mash and veg and the best gravy ever. Go and try it !

Went to The Plough yesterday for Mothers Day the food and service were excellent. We had taken my mother who is 96, the waitresses and Nicola were very accommodating to her needs. Will certainly be returning.

Took our daughter there tonight for a meal, but found the food very poor. The soup was very salty and the chips served with my fish were so oily I couldn’t eat them. My wife and daughter both had macaroni cheese which again was too...

The Plough has been our Saturday lunchtime destination after a canal walk over the last 4-5 years. We were sorry...

First time I've eaten here and the food was excellent. A good choice for each of the three courses including...

We have eaten here twice this week. Our first visit was Sunday after a cycle ride for a coffee and...

Visited here for Sunday lunch with my family. Food and service was as always excellent. I have special needs kids...

A recent lunch with a friend was slightly disappointing. The welcome and service were excellent, drinks served and orders taken...

well service was slow and staff not very attentive especially long wait when finished first course ,had to raise arm to catch someones attention ,meal edible but presentation was poor, long delay with coffee and cake came 5 mins later .table was very sticky ,needed a good scrub ,shame really as was always good as we have been going for years but wont be going again .

We've been here several times since the pub changed to new owners and continue to enjoy ourselves whenever we come. The last occasion was for lunch, which, combined with a glorious walk in late afternoon winter sunshine along the Grantham Canal, right outside, made for a splendid day. The pheasant pie has to be mentioned. It is superb. It is rare to get a short-crust pastry pie, these days, at least one that has been properly baked not microwaved. There was a wait for it to be prepared - but a wait that was truly worthwhile. Well done chef! And thanks, too, to the excellent waiting staff. You can be proud of what you've achieved at The Plough! Happy Christmas all!!

Quality Night in a quality homely village pub

Just arrived home from a second visit to this lovely pub with some work friends and we were thrilled to find it was Curry Night, more like Curry Feast!! Loads of the most delicious food, starters, mains and sides all home made for a tenner, we were all stuffed but luckily we were greedy and managed pudding as well black Forest trifle mmmm,if it's on the menu when you visit order it, it was gorgeous. I can't wait for our next visit,I can't end this review without mentioning how welcoming the ladies who waited on us were, hope to see you soon!!

What a fantastic night. There were 42 of us and the service was excellent. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. It is my local and I love it. Thank you to all the staff for giving us a great night.

I for one was slightly critical after the change of ownership on lots of points but I am pleased to say that the Girls have obviously taken some of the criticism on board and now seem to realise what is required of a village pub and have made changes for the better the staff are now more customer focused, the food is excellent and good value,

We've just finished an excellent meal here. Food was outstanding, all fresh, homemade and piping hot. Its the only place I've ever been asked how I like my roast beef, which was a big plus for us because we like ours rare. There were plenty of fresh veg and the herby roast potatoes were really nice too. Yorkshire puddings are enormous and fluffy. The pub also serves a selection of good wines by and glass and real ales as well as fruit shoots for kids. What made our visit extra special though were the friendly and understanding staff. We have three children who have learning disabilities and social, emotional and sensory difficulties. Staff were great with them. The restaurant is homely and quiet with gentle music playing and this helped my son relax as loud noise unsettles him. There is also a lovely kids play area outside and a canal with ducks over the road. Thanks for a fabulous experience, we will definitely be back!

I met my friend for lunch today.we hadn't realise it

We had been reading mixed reviews since Bob left, but thought we’d give it a try.Arrived just after 3.00pm, only a few tables still occupied, but we were told it had been very busy.We had two dogs with us and were told they were welcome, we were seated in the ‘snug’ and without asking a bowl of water appeared for the dogs.The choice of starters was somewhat limited we thought and to be honest were just adequate.However, the main courses were exceptional, as good as we have had anywhere, yep really that good.The service was friendly and helpful, couldn’t fault it!Will we return? Yes we will, admittedly there wasn’t the buzz present as when Bob was there, but the new owners are trying and deserve support ....

Decided to give The Plough a return visit last night. Friendly atmosphere in the snug & bottom bar, the top bar was quiet. Friendly inclusive service, waited about 30 mins for our main course long enough for a quiet restaurant, both were delicious, halloumi kebab & a gammon steak. Presentation of the gammon plate could have been improved with some colour but enjoyed all the same. The Lemon Posset was super. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. Good to catch up with a few locals which are any country Pub’s bread & butter come the winter time. Very pleased we gave it another go & my Dad’s photo still hangs in the snug - just thanks Girls.

My husband and I went to eat on a Saturday lunch time.My husband had the fish and I had the lasanga..I enjoyed my meal but my husband said his fish was very greasy,We ordered pudding and it was lovely.A very friendly pub and we will go back but wont order the fish.

Visited today and we received a warm welcome including a bowl of water for our thirsty hounds. We had the two course menu which was amazing value at £13. Food was well presented and tasted great. Got so much more for your money than at the pub/restaurant chains. Staff were very friendly and helpful.Looking forward to our next visit.
