The Plough in Rutland

Fabulous tea room, delicious sandwiches cakes and drinks . Made us feel very welcome . Excellent value for money. Will definitely be back. Well done guys and girls

Too many dogs allowed in the eating area

Warm welcome, very friendly staff and locals. Really enjoyed visiting here and it really is the most dog friendly pub in the UK

This is a smashing pub. Excellent service, menu and atmosphere. Good with allergies. The best bit is their love and care for dogs. Even had baskets for them and a doggie menu! Lovely locals, extremely welcoming. Can get very busy with people and dogs!

Disappointing, especially when reviews say I should be otherwise. We all have different tastes and expectations and this is below par pub grub, burger was a bought in frozen lump of rubber, chips, again, bought in and supposedly thrice fried. Crispy onions rings though so not all bad. A waste of £50

food was dry and pre made. servers had poor knowledge of the food. I ask if the pork belly had crackling and i was told yes it does. it came out minus the skin so no crackling.... steak and ale pie was dry.

Fantastic food lovely presentation. Very dog friendly. Would definitely come back. Felt very relaxed staff all very friendly.

We were so incredibly lucky to get a last-minute table for Sunday lunch today. The staff were lovely and the food was absolutely delicious. It really hit the spot and I just wish we lived nearby so that we could visit more often!

Excellent all round. Had a fantastic meal, the atmosphere was lovely, staff helpful and very friendly. Couldn't fault it

Great real ale. Was hoping to get an ice-cream but we arrived when the shed was closed. Birds to look at in an aviary.

Stayed on nearby campsite went to The Plough a couple of times food and staff excellent. Saturday night they had soul and Motown singer really brilliant. Give it a try we tried the Wheatsheaf up the road but found atmosphere poor and very standoffish staff😩

Lovely friendly pub, great bar service and selection of drinks. We didn’t want anything to eat but lots of customers were enjoying a pizza from a pizza man in the garden. You could eat them in the pub, they looked good. Lots of locals were commenting on how good the Argentina meat night was the night before. Good to hear they had different styles of food available. Also good entertainment, a soul, rhythm and blues singer is booked here for Saturday night. Lovely friendly pub and very busy. Saw signs that that also welcome dogs too, which is always good to see. Lots of locals were in here so a great atmosphere.

Lovely pub , staff friendly, nice patio out back. With an Avery and a pond. Dog’s are welcome inside and out. Tonight there was as a food truck out back Nathan’s kitchen co. We had lovely smashed burgers

A very warm and friendly welcome, dog friendly, pub, good selection of beers on tap. Although on a reduced menu, there was still plenty of choice, the food was excellent, well cooked and presented. Staff very friendly. Will certainly return when next in the area.

Visited once just for drinks and two evenings for a meal whilst on holiday nearby. A warm welcome from staff and other patrons alike. Food was very good.

Went with two dogs that suddenly became very badly behaved which took us by surprise. The staff were lovely & unphased and were able to have a delicious meal. It’s great place to stop off on your journey as not far from A1 and we would definitely go again, probably without the dogs next time.

Staying at a local campsite so booked a table for early evening. Lovely atmosphere in the pub. We went through to the dining area with our 2 dogs. Good choice on menu, dinners were huge and very tasty. I think most is made with local produce. Even went home with doggy ice cream. Staff extremely friendly and polite. Excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend but would book at busy hours.

This is the friendliest pub I have ever been in. Straight away when entering people at the bar were friendly and chatty. Super dog friendly, my dog loved having lots of strokes and attention

Great food, good prices and worth the money, came here for the first time with a friend and will be coming again soon

A wonderful dog and human friendly pub I have never felt so at home and welcome with my dog as here even the locals are lovely. The food is amazing unlike most pub food and it’s a very short pretty walk from the caravan site too (my dog drags me in there.) Hayley, Ann and Amy are extremely hospitable and chef/owner (don’t know his name) very welcoming too xxxx THANK YOU Hayley and team

Good pub good food I'd rate it to an yone.

We researched first that this pub did food . It stated it did so we walked to it. It was empty on arrival...which is always a concern. No warm welcome, staff charmless.....No food at lunch times only Saturday nights. Respectly change the website then.....so we just had a drink and left. When we stayed last year 10 of us sat oitside and it was really busy. What happened? .you don't need a chef to make a sandwich....

Food was served quickly and was hot. The presentation was excellent, and the portions were ample. There was only a Father's Day menu, but half a dozen options to choose from. Will visit again.

Lovely food. Huge portions. Dog friendly. You need to book for food as very popular. Dog friendly. Have been before & will visit again in the future. They have quizz & bingo nights.

Lovely meal, traditional pub atmosphere and restaraunt area. Had the mixed grill, mrs had sirloin steak. Delicious and cooked well, steaks were cooked to liking but only knocked a star off as they were over charcoalled and the parts that were seered tasted a little burnt. The service was really good. Overall good atmosphere, reasonably priced and enjoyed by both of us

We visited the plough this weekend on more than one occasion. The staff are very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. We highly recommend it to anyone and we will be back 😁😁

Picturesque village. Invasive and quite rude reservation experience demanding full name, email address and phone no otherwise were told I'm no uncertain terms they would refuse the booking. dogs rules the roost here and aren't always considerate or under control. pub food, reasonably decent.

Proper homemade Sunday lunch. Really good service. Would recommend

Lovely village pub, very dog friendly..Good beers and food.

Lovely village pub. The landlord and staff are very friendly and cant do enough for you. It's a very dot friendly pub with a doggy menu. The food is cooked beautifully and plenty of it. We ate here quite a few nights and every meal was delicious 😋. Its cosy and warm. Would highly recommend and we will return when are in the area again. Val and Kat Southampton

Pleasant setting, clean pub, average food and poor service. Table booked for 6.30 pm, order taken at 6.50 pm, food arrived at 7.50 pm, by which time the kids were ready to eat their own legs! Everything took too long; drinks too forever and even the dog treats (which hardly needed cooking) were slow to arrive. The excuse for the latter was that 'they arrive with your meals', but that would have been a disaster, bearing in mind the dog bowls and stand were placed on the table. Needs a bit of a rethink.

Good honest village pub. Good atmosphere, great staff, good menu and food. Very dog friendly.

Great county local pub serving good food. Very friendly and dogs welcome

First time visiting for about 8 years, and it's still one of the best burgers 🍔 you will have. (Bacon and Blue). We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and if local would go every week. Thank you

Great little village pub, highly recommend it’s so dog friendly too my dog loved having his own menu and dinner brought to him , human food was very tasty and the staff were very friendly and lovely will definitely be visiting again ..top notch

We visited the Plough on Saturday for an evening meal and again for Sunday lunch. On both occasions we had our dog with us and we were able to eat our meals in the restaurant. The food both times was hot and delicious. They also have a dog menu for you to order something for your pooch(s). I would highly recommend booking in advance. We will definately be returning when we are back in the area.

Great country pub. Dog friendly and people friendly as well. Had two great evenings in the pub whilst on a camping trip to the area.

Wow!!! What an amazing experience. Our first but definitely not our last visit!!!! Thank you so much for the incredibly friendly welcome, amazing service, delicious food and most of all for spoiling Ember, our Cockapoo. Five stars aren’t enough!!! See you soon

Very nice atmosphere. Really friendly both staff and clientele

The plough knows who they are, a traditional village pub. It’s not over complicated or gastro. The service is friendly and welcoming and the food is good pub food. Well priced and value for money. The meals were presented well as well as the service from the staff. I can’t fault our visit and will be back when we next stay in the area.

Wonderful pub catering for both diners and locals having a drink (and game of darts). The food (lamb shank) was beautiful, the choice of local beers was excellent and the service warm and personable. No surprise the pub was full on Saturday night.

What a pub should be in my view - good food, friendly service, great beer, dog friendly (even though we don't have a dog!), a piano and a guitar on the wall! A real community asset.

This pub is amazing our first time visiting greetham and when we popped in the atmosphere was chilled and relaxing booked a table on Saturday nite for food and watch the live entertainment put us rite where we wanted to be the food was amazing the service was outstanding and the entertainment was great they even helped us to find our way back to the cabin with advice we also booked for Sunday dinner which I can’t wait for now tasting the food amazing place thank you so much for our experience

What a find!! We are having a weekend away in our touring caravan, and wanted to find a reasonably priced pub for dinner. Well, we found this gem! Fantastic service and delicious food. If we come back to the area, we will be back. Oh and dog friendly, which was so nice.

We went to spend time together because we use to meet up every week ..we also did their quiz too ,the food was beautiful the staff brilliant and so friendly and the quiz really good so overall we had a great night and we are going back next week too for food and quiz we may have found our Thursday night out pub I recommend this place

We visit this pub often, after one of the many stunning dog/walking routes. Easily the most dog friendly pub around. Staff are lovely and friendly, always welcoming, with four legged friends too. Great selection of beers and wine, and the food is amazing, and very well priced with special offers every day. Highly recommended.

Staff were brilliant. Gyp so good and those burgers, wow. Everything was spot on.

Amazing food 😋 and excellent service. Toilets impeccably clean. Bailey's cheesecake a must try and the steak and ale pie.......delicious

Fantastic food, big portions and warm, friendly service. We always visit when on holiday in the area

We went here for the first time as staying in Oakham. Lovely pub excellent food staff were so friendly and helpful. We had lunch Friday dinner Saturday and Sunday lunch best roast in a long time. We will be back thank you 😊

Amazing Monday GYP (giant Yorkshire pudding) night - homemade GYP with a choice of fillings and lovely fresh veg and excellent value 2 for £15!! Definitely will be returning

Had lunch here today 27nd October, fabulous food lovely staff, and the biggest burger I have ever seen! Also amazing sticky toffee pudding. Lovely location all first class. We will be back again. Thank you.

Amazing staff, food and variety. Felt like a local when we were down on vacation. Cant wait to come back!

Great village pub, relaxed atmosphere with very friendly staff. I enjoyed the Oakham 3 Witches Ale. They have a Friday special of 20 quid for 2 fish meals. I can definitely recommend going.

Don’t go in the bar unless you like dogs, we loved it! There is a restaurant that is quieter. We had excellent fish and chip supper. Great beer, Have been before and will be going back, not many places you can relax with an inquisitive border terrier but she loved the company of other dogs on a Friday night!

Stopping at motorhome site pub just round corner had 3 lovely bar meals while we were staying, steak spot on great chef and all staff chatty really nice, do a curry night unfortunately for me no beef madras that night booo just joking 😁 kind regards Kenny Carolyn Sooty.

Excellent pub dining with great food and really excellent atmosphere. Sunday lunch is on of the best. Really good value for money The staff are really very friendly. Nothing to much trouble. This has to be the best dog friendly pub for miles probably the best in the east midlands.

We went on a Wednesday for burger night. Well priced with the deal of buy one, get one half price. Juicy, tasty and big! The staff were friendly and attentive. I prefer the bar area than the restaurant as a setting. A lovely village pub, to complete the night we played bingo!

We only popped in for a beer as we were on the CL next door which was also very readily. A lovely pub, cosy and friendly staff. Lucky for us they had some special ales in which were very tasty! Highly recommend if you are in the area

I booked this pub, to finish off the good week I had with my best mate,and my Husband joined us(after travelling on his motorbike)..The thing I loved was everyone was friendly, happy to help...as iit was a humid night(8th Sept),we decided to eat our dinner outside...The waitress came to our table within 15 mins,she told us what was on the menu, what the specials were..phil(my Husband) had baked camebert to start, Carly and I decided we'd just order the main course, I had pie n mash, with gravy n mixed veg, Carly ad steak n chips, and Phil had this burger (it was massive)... I LOVED my pie..it was bloody tasty..phils burger fell apart,but he also said it was far more tasty than just an average burger, and Carly couldn't stop saying (um nomnomnom). I said I wanted desert, and Phil and carly didn't think I'd manage it, BUT...I devowed a lemon mousse, with cream..and it was so nice even licked the plate clean. A beautiful Pub, which was only a 10 minute walk away from Rutland campsite... I was excited on the walk back, we saw 4 bats, and an owl. All I can say is....if you're ever lucky enough to stay at Rutland campsite, YOU'VE GOT TO GO TO THE PLOUGH...you will not be disappointed Strangers actually talk to each other, not like back here in Essex.. I can now see why my best mate, said that being around Rutland Waters it's so peaceful, and I actually get it.....I'm coming back hopefully very very very soon

Stopped en route. Unfortunately fully booked for food, but what we saw looked good. Very pleasant staff and nice atmosphere.

Accommodates everyone really friendly, dog friendly ,excellent food .

Very welcoming with dogs permitted through the bar and restaurant. Huge lasagne that was excellent. Voice of four real ales. All good. Fair price.

Super service and beer was great. Food was excellent. Toilet facilities were superb. All in all a fantastic experience

Really enjoyed our meal here. Went for the Pie Night on a Tuesday and all had lovely meals. The desserts were pretty good too

1 of the best burgers I had in long time, quality and quantity.

One of the best pubs I've been in in a long time, they've so got it right....great staff....will definitely travel back even if not stopping in area.

Excellent food. So good went two days in a row. Extremely dog friendly . Great food with good size portions

Lovely pub, good food, lovely staff and lovely atmosphere.

Great little pub with the very best steak and ale pie in the country. Delicious haddock and chips and featherblade steak too Nice selection of proper English ales .A little gem

Lovely and friendly, food was great. My dog enjoyed the fuss too!! We will be back

A local pub with a homely feel as well as good locally sauced food

Superleuke bar met een prima sfeer en goed eten.

Didn't book as was a Tuesday. Was told 20 min wait to order, more like 30. Food ok simple well cooked. Drinks expensive.

Excellent Sunday lunch and good beer.

Nice local pub. I didn't eat but the food that came out looked superb. I would happily come back again.

Stopped off on way to skipton. The Timothy Taylor Blonde was lovely. I would be happy to drink in there on a regular basis. Well kept and poured slowly. The food was good. Fish n chips scampy and lasagne. Staff were friendly. So we enjoyed a bit of banter. Back on the road.

Proper nice village pub 👍. Dog friendly and very friendly place. Service and staff great too.

Such a friendly place! Fabulous food and the staff are amazing. Well worth a visit

Proper tradition pub, great beers and food, staff exceptional

Lovely country pub, with a good atmosphere, friendly locals, beer on tap, and good food. Recommend a visit if in the area.

Lovely pub, great staff very welcoming, food value for money and taste amazing.

Food was lovely,had the roast beef.left with a full belly

Great atmosphere very friendly staff good selection of beer

Sorry guys our meals were just disappointing - as it was Monday much of the usual menu was not available (apparently resupplied on a Tuesday) but our lasagnes were definitely overcooked and the venison pies similarly dry. The waitress was apologetic but it became amusing hearing the same tale repeated for customers who arrived after us when the pies and lasagnes had also run out. Selection of veg turned out to be carrot and red cabbage. Didn't stay to sample the desserts! Not an experience I would wish to repeat when the county of Rutland is teeming with good eateries.

A really lovely village pub, great food and service and made to feel very welcome. Good ales too!

Great food. Lovely atmosphere. Entertainment fab. Lovely staff, very accommodating and friendly. Very animal friendly... even has a dog menu. Set in a wonderful village.

Great evening here with our young son and dog. The pub was busy so definitely worth booking ahead. The food was excellent, we enjoyed the pizza’s and a great dog menu too! The pub was really dog friendly, attentive staff and very clean toilets. Overall, friendly service in a locals pub.

Top tip make sure you book. Very dog friendly.The only place I've been who has a dog menu . The human menu was very good. The staff were on the ball,knew about the food they were serving and lovely. The food was very good and the deserts were homemade and very good. I had the sizzling duck and a chocolate and caramel pyramid. Good job I missed the starter as I would have been too full. Thanks for a lovely meal The plough.

Tuesday was Pie night and I had a tasty beef and stilton pie with mushy peas and chips. Friendly and attentive staff. Would recommend booking in peak times.

Great pub, great staff, friendly locals and dog friendly Booking is recommended for food

Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff. Sunday roast was awesome.

We were travelling in the area for our wedding anniversary and we were very lucky to find this place. Unpretentious, classic, simply delicious food served with smiles and friendly attitude in a homely environment; just what you want from a proper country pub. The fact...

Delicious food, excellent service. Highly recommend.

Very nice experience, very attentive staff, the food was lovely and they couldn't do enough for our dog Barney, would definitely come back.

Very friendly lovely village pub , Dogs very welcomed, (although we dont actually have a dog) Fantastic menus daily with choices for everyone, Some lovely birds and fish in the back garden, We will defo visit again 😊

The meal was excellent, had a beef roast and was very generous with beef. Only thing I can have a little say about as we were visiting the area and we booked online. Web site asked for any requirements and we put I was gluten-free so could I have a Yorkshire gluten free? No responce through email, but that was fine. We arrived, we were put in a designated table and our dinner arrived with no note of my dietary requirements. I had to leave my yorkshire as I wasn't sure what was in it. But I'm still alive. The pub, staff and experience was fantastic and will visit again x

We had the most fantastic Sunday lunch here. Thank goodness we went for the smaller plate of roast beef; it meant we had room to share an incredible mint aero cheesecake in an Easter egg shell. Utterly sublime Thank you chef.

Very friendly staff. Excellent food and service. Food freshly cooked to order and generous portion servings. Dog friendly and offered us treats for the dogs. Would definitely use again when in the area.

Only wish I had taken some photos, we stayed for Saturday evening meal and Sunday roast, food was very well presented and tasted delicious, compliments to the chef, staff were welcoming and friendly even bought a bowl of water for the dogs, next time I'm in Greetham I will be booking The Plough for a meal.
