The Plough in South Northamptonshire

A lovely meal, really nice dining room and a friendly main bar in a separate room too. Very comfortable all round, good staff and food. The puppy was very cute too! Would highly recommend!

Lovely overnight stay at this village pub. Friendly welcoming staff. Good evening meal - great service & choice of food. Super comfy bed assured a good night’s sleep. Hearty breakfast gave us a great start to the day. Thank you all.

Sunday lunch was good, lovely and homemade. We had roast chicken and gammon with a cherry pie for pudding. Great value

This pace is cosy, friendly and it felt like home. The couple hosting us were just lovely… and their little baby was the icing on the cake! Recommended!!

Lovely traditional Sunday roast at The Plough today. Nicest Carvery we’ve had in a long time. No time restriction either, available all day so we had time for a sunny walk first. Cosy atmosphere and cosy company .

Possibly, in fact defiantly, the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The place was shut when we arrived at tea time. The food was inedible. and the bathroom a disgrace.

How refreshing to find a real village pub with decent rooms, a good breakfast and pleasant staff. No pretentious frills or attempts to gentrify. Good hones food and service where the locals drink and can afford to eat. My first stay will hopefully not be my last

Having booked accommodation direct with them I requested an evening meal and breakfast as it would save going out to find somewhere after a very long days work. On arrival at 1900hrs, which was the time I had agreed, I was informed that the chef had gone off for the evening and that there maybe a very limited menu. I ended up with ham, egg and overly salted chips which were inedible and that was it. No choice of desert as the manager had gone out to walk her dog and the only person left was the bar person. The room was clean but I was surprised that there were no toiletries for the shower, the room door did not fit properly and that you could look between the door frame and the door. Also the sound proofing between the rooms was not far off non existent as was proved by my neighbours turning on their television late in the evening. Thankfully, I had put in a 19 hour day and was too tired to care. Breakfast was greeted by the chef wearing a Puffa jacket, most probably the same one he had on to come to work, and I ordered Full English with orange juice and coffee. The orange juice still hasn’t arrived and it is now two days since I left there. The bake beans had clearly been reheated but on the plus side the sausages and bacon were excellent. It’s was a good job that I was in a hurry as my nights accommodation was quoted at £65-00 plus extras ( evening meal, breakfast and 1 Pint of beer), however on rechecking the receipts it has been charged at £75-00. On the plus side the manager was very pleasant and Benny the dog very friendly. Would I stay again? Definitely Not…

We waited 2 hrs for our meal . When it arrived it was cold and covered in gravy . We have been told it’s being taken over in December, thank god . I had a nut roast that arrived with soggy cabbage .

Fantastic atmosphere and great tasting food . Plenty of space to eat and socially distance. I recommend the plough burger!

Visited The Plough last night for our first post-lockdown meal out and were very pleasantly surprised - the layout is great, lots of covered, airy accommodation in the pub garden, excellent, friendly staff and really good food from a simple but attractive menu. Brilliant effort, well worth a fully positive review.

Stopped by for drinks and lunch, first time we have visited The Plough, turned out to be a very good idea. Lunch & Drinks were perfect."Jane" was very helpful and Chatty. Food very simple but excllent, well worth a visit.

Friday evening visit and we arrived at this cosy country pub where the "buzz" developed through the evening as tables filled up and folk visited the pub bar. We found the service very attentive and able to accommodate our gluten free guest,although rather too many dishes served with cheese for our dairy-free friend. It was nice to have some specials on the board which added nicely to the original menu. The starters and mains were all enjoyed and those selecting the "Lamb Henry" found it well-cooked and tasty with creamy mash and fresh greens. Guest opting for the lamb curry special also found it tasty and the restaurant offered to adjust it to suit different "heat" requirements. The beef chilli was delicious, the pork main perhaps a tad over-cooked, the poppadoms slightly greasy, but overall we all enjoyed our main meals and the lovely red wine served with them. Our one guest opting for a dessert did find that The Apple & Blackberry Crumble had a slight lack of apple and crumble topping! Amaretto coffee and hot chocolate drinks to finish were yummy. Overall, we would all be happy to recommend this a a destination for good value, tasty pub food with attentive service and a nice country pub "buzz".

This pub/restaurant is a real treasure. The service was relaxed and friendly in this cosy restaurant which has a very varied menu including a specials board. Our food was excellent and great value. We will be back.

Lovely quaint pub/BnB/restaurant set in the lovely village of boddington, staff are very friendly pleasant and helpfull. Food was spot on all round menu and reasonably price. Parsing through or need a quite lovely meal GO .

Visited last night without a booking although busy they said we could eat in the bar. We had mussels and mushrooms on bruschetta as starters they were large portions and were lovely. Our mains were equally as good. This was the first time we had been here but I am sure we will be back

I haven’t eaten at plough for a while and we went tonight and food was fantastic had mushrooms on toast which were great and plenty of them and then on to the chicken jalfrezi really good and other half at hake fillet got to say that was a super piece of fish infact the meal we both agreed was a 10/10 and I would highly recommend and we shall be back very soon we’ll done

10 of us were staying nearby in an Air bnb and headed into Upper Boddington and came across The Plough. The owner was so welcoming and we took a look at the menu and decided to stay for lunch. We had 4 dogs with us and a baby and they were so accommodating, finding a perfect spot in the bar side of the building that was secluded and out of the way. We ordered lots of the bar bites and a couple of people had various burgers. For pub food it was excellent - really beautifully cooked and great quality ingredients thoughtfully put together. The desserts were equally good and we decided to book in for the Sunday roast the next day before we left. The roast was amazing - again beautifully cooked and really flavoursome. They bought out extra potatoes and vegetables so we all had plenty, it was delicious and beautifully presented. Again the service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble even with some intolerances and fussy eaters. On our third day, we went out for a walk in Daventry and then talked about what to do for lunch, we were going to find a pub locally to where we were but decided that actually when we knew the food and service would be excellent we would head back to the Plough. Once again we were really happy with our decision. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this pub. My brother (who absolutely loves a roast) said it was so good he would drive the two hours from where we live on a Sunday for it - I don’t think you can get a much higher compliment.My only comment would be that on first look, the menu doesn’t do the food justice. It doesn’t sell the quality of their food - it looks like standard pub grub when it’s truly a cut above. A quick redesign of the menu, a nicer font and better descriptions of the gorgeous food would really sell it. My husband and I quite often will decide on whether we want to eat in a place by wandering in and looking at the menu and if we’d been on our own, might have passed this place by which would have been a huge shame! Everything else was absolutely perfect though :) thank you for having us!

We had lunch in this pub after our circular walk. There were 13 for lunch.The pub is a very attractive thatched Northampton stone building. It has been recently refurbished and looks very cosy and inviting. There are two large wood burning stoves which should make it very cosy in winter.The food was excellent. My fish was delicious and so were the triple cooked chips. There were tables under an awning in front. Helpful friendly staff.We will definitely go back.Parking at the rear.

Seven of us sat down to Sunday lunch and all commented on the quality of the food. Four grandchildren had Belly Pork and raved about it. One of us went for Veggie Wellington and pronounced it the best ever. I got many brownie points for the choice of the pub, and best of all, I could hardly believe my eyes when the bill came. I had to put my glasses on, it was so small. Quality and Value is what it's all about, long may that continue. My advice? BOOK to avoid disappointment, a fair few casuals were unlucky today

We came here for dinner when staying locally at The Bothy Guesthouse. Lovely village pub and lots of choice on the menu plus good beers.

We often meet up with friends in this area of the country for a Sunday Roast meal. This pub is in a superb location and has a nice friendly atmosphere inside. The staff are very good and the restaurant part is nicely located. However the drinks are a bit on the expensive side, which is not a problem as we are not drinkers and the "quantity" of the Sunday Roast meals leave a bit to be desired. We are not big eaters but a piece more meat and a few more roast potatoes would not have gone a miss and at such little cost. The actual quality of the food is very good, just a bit on the small side compared to other Sunday Roast lunches in the area at the same price. Can't say "dissapointed" but a bit to be desired.

At last a pub, a real pub, real people, with real food, great food in fact. Early Christmas lunch for two of us today. What a treat, excellent food and sensible price. An excellent Marlborough white at a fair price went with 4 courses for under £30 fixed price. That said the blackboard was equally tempting for the walk in customer. But, I suspect soon the word out on the street will make pre booking a very good idea!

Had not been to the Plough for a while as the food had gone downhill. Heard from another local (aka Chris the Gardener - it's a mite buccolic in these parts) that it had had a renaissance under new owners. So back we went. Marvellous Sunday lunch cannot recommend enough !!

Hubby and I turned up early evening, without a reservation, hoping to get supper. We were not disappointed, the welcome was warm, the service exemplary, we really felt at home, and the food is superb. We had the prawns from the special boards, followed with one venison shank, also from the specials, and I had chicken supreme with a delicious mushroom risotto. We managed an apple and cinnamon cake between us, goodness knows how as the portions are generous. If you're in the area do not miss the Plough, you won't regret it. Well done to a fabulous team of people, the hostess, her servers, and the chef.

Friday night with husband for his birthday. LOVELY meal. Bar was teaming with people but the restaurant area was away from the hustle of the bar and was warm and cozy with the log burner on and quiet music. Friendly and attentive waiting staff and fab food - camembert starter, huge steak and divine chips for main. All the food had those extra special little touches when it's a chef with his own style, not a chain restaurant. Would highly recommend for an evening meal.

This is a very popular venue with friendly efficient staff and wonderful food. Good selection of beers and cocktails with lots of Gin concoctions. Best to book for the Sunday Roast but they have additional tables in the pub if the restaurant is full. Different specials available most days.

lovely old english pub great food landlady jane very helpful but what made the stay even better were the two ladies who cooked and served breakfast Debbie and Sue thanks a lot.

Just had a fab steak here cooked to perfection and super tasty. It was a real treat and looked amazing. The menu is good lots of interesting items but it was steak night so we had that. I think the special thing about this place was the atmosphere, this is a country pub miles from the beaten track and it was just after the England game and packed with locals and yet we felt right at home. Everyone spoke to us and made an effort to talk to us and listen to what we said. It was a special night in many ways.

Having read previous reviews we were unsure about going to The Plough, but please ignore all previous reviews - it was fantastic! Taken over only a week ago, the food was superb and the host absolutely lovely - we'll definitely be going back, spread the word!

We all have bad days. What makes the difference between terrible and great is how you deal with those bad days. We had booked lunch for myself, my husband and our two children on mothering Sunday as a treat for the family. You had staffing issues and no chef. Your choices were:

Just average food. Delightful young waitress. Lady supervisor (maybe landlady) slightly offhand. Requested another slice of lemon, her reply was "There is some in the water jug. Not the reply I anticipated. Will not recommend or visit again.

Super nettes B&B;, altes historisches Farmhaus. Toilette/ Dusche auf dem Gang, bei insgesamt 4Zimmern aber kein Problem.

Lovely meal, well cooked and very tasty and good portions. Pleasant atmosphere, attentive staff. Would recommend

First visit since (overdue) change of hands and was not disappointed - Sunday lunch was cooked very well and had proper flavour. Hope this standard continues.

We stayed at this Pub last weekend, as a last minute weekend get away. The pub has a real welcoming effect the minute you enter the bar.

Metimos en unas cuantas veces para bebidas encantador y muy acogedor! Cenamos aquí la última noche de la carne era de un tamaño perfecto y preparado a la perfección! Yo tenía el pastel, que era excelente, repostería perfecto y a un precio muy razonable en general un excelente comienzo para los nuevos propietarios bien hecho mantenerlo

All the staff were friendly, the beer was good and the food excellent. I would definitely recommend a visit

Soy un bebedor regular en este pub propiamente dicho pero muy rara vez tuvimos la oportunidad de probar la comida. Las circunstancias me han presentado con cuatro oportunidades para hacer esto durante los últimos 15 días y puedo decir honestamente que he sido presentado con cuatro comidas verdaderamente excelente - un asado los domingos, dos tartas espléndida y una hígado y perfectamente presentados bacon. El nuevo chef es, obviamente, en la cima de su juego y los anfitriones, Jen y, claramente importa tanto la calidad y el servicio. Recomiendo la barredora totalmente.

Yo uso este pub cada semana mientras mi hija tiene clases de baile en la sala del pueblo. Al principio me era dudosa para ir como una mujer solitaria, pero el personal y la gente es muy amable y acogedor ad no tienen problemas con los montones de papeles que trae cada semana. Ten cuidado que no está limitado, si no no hay señal de celulares, pero hay wifi gratis. Precios razonables, y quemadores de pellets de madera y un gran personal. Espero que algún día de muestreo la comida

Nos alojamos la noche del 4 de julio al 5º de marzo de 2017. Éramos 3 adultos y nos alojamos en la habitación familiar. Consta de 1 cama doble y 2 camas individuales y un baño en suite.

Unos amigos y yo nos conocimos en la barredora Inn y tuvimos un tiempo increíble. Aunque no comimos el servicio fue impecable la cerveza era bien tenían una pequeña habitación en la parte trasera del pub acogedor donde yo y mis 15 amigos pueden sentarse y ser reparador. Hay un montón de recovecos en este pub muy acogedor la verdad. Gracias muchachos.

A big thank you to Jeanette and you staff for making my surprise birthday party a brilliant evening.The meal was lovely and the service exceptional everybody enjoyed night. One couple stayed the night and were very inpressed with the cosy room, comfortable bed and Good breakfast they Would stay again.

We did not book but we arrived early for Sunday lunch. There were plenty of tables available. It was a freezing cold day and I sat by the log fire while waiting for our food. I was very impressed that the waitress realised I was cold and sat us next to the fire in the restaurant. We had a traditional Sunday roast. The beef was over cooked for our liking but the veg was cooked perfectly. Good value for what we spent.

We went last night after not been for awhile so glad we did the starter of prawns was plentiful then came the steaks I had ribeye my husband sirloin both cooked to perfection which a lot of pubs / restaurant get wrong the steak its self was of from good quality and a nice touch the homemade onion rings and the pepper sauce was to die for well done !!!! Truley worth a visit

Hubby and I spent the weekend in nearby Fenny Compton and the Friday night decided to try The Plough for supper. The pub side was quite full but we were seated right away on the restaurant side. The service was very friendly and we both enjoyed our meals, hubby had fish and chips and I had the chicken, ham and leek pie. We would happily come back here again.

Stayed over last night with my hubby, daughter and our dog Max. Made to feel so welcome by the hosts. The food was fantastic the home made pie was excellent,the breakfast this morning was locally sourced products and extremely tasty, nothing was too much trouble. It was the first time we had stayed away with the dog will defo do it again. Thankyou so much for a lovely stay, the room was fantastic. The beverages selection in the room was extensive, my daughter loved the hot chocolate x

Omg! This pub could safely win worse meal of the year! Horrendous! Do not book your Christmas party here as chef unreliable (actually sacked tonight!), food appalling, boiling hot plates but stir cold food, roast potatoes were raw, no prawns with sea bass, Brussels sprouts galore piled on plates - 13 to be precise.......ok if you like them! Broccoli brown and yellowing, soggy, no crispy crackling as advertised on menu, just a lump of thick hairy fat! Pork dry and tasteless, over cooked! Apple crumble had red berries in? Ice cream in wine glasses frozen solid, cheese board disappointing!

Called in for dinner after a walk with a friend and her dog. Made to feel very welcome and had a lovely meal, we both had the cod, delicious.

Love this pub. Have eaten here a number of times, Sunday lunch, evening meal, Tuesday curry ... Never disappoints.

Just had the worst turkey meal ever, roast potatoes so black and burnt unable to get knife through, turkey well overdone impossible to cut needed to tear it apart, vegetables: grey brussels, brocolli size of 10p and what I suppose was cabbage was black and limp the little bit there was. This meal had been heated many times had no flavour and looked awful, unfortunately we were guests and we did not want to embarrass our hosts so kept quiet, obviously chef was not a cook. Over priced, don't waste your money.

Pretty village free house pub, with a warm welcome. Great food (make sure you're hungry!), friendly staff and very reasonably priced. B&B accommodation is comfortable and the breakfast with a great big mug of tea is lovely. Highly recommended for a night away.

Although there was plenty to tempt on the menu we decided on the roast and were not disappointed. My wife played it safe with the beef, which was tender and cooked to her liking, but I was tempted by the roast pheasant which was the special of the day. Although pheasant can sometimes be dry, particularly when roasted, the chef clearly knows what he is doing and it was perfect. Both roasts came with a selection of vegetables, including red cabbage which is a favourite of mine, and perfect Yorkies!With a little room left for desert I went for the apple and pear crumble and my wife went for the fruit bread and butter pudding; she commented that hers was the best she had ever had...praise indeed.Friendly staff, a warm welcome, and good food make this traditional country pub a real winner; we'll be back!

Im not a food or wine ponce far from it but when your food comes to you piping hot and tastes delicious and there's lots of it with great polite service you then realise that just 2 miles from home you have found a gem. Mr or mrs chef please understand that behind the scenes you are doing a marvellous job.We shall return asap. Promise you that !!

Stayed for 1 night for a wedding. Cosy room, comfortable bed and friendly hosts. Good breakfast too. Would stay again

Welcomed by staff and customers, a wonderful country pub with great character. Served warming large helpings of very good food. Bedrooms slightly dated but good size and clean

Under new ownership about 4 years ago, they dragged this pub up by its bootstraps, and once a local (now not!) they do unapologetic high quality pub grub. Definately recommended.

The plough very much does at it says..it is a pub that serves food!! Came a couple of months back and had the Brie wedges to start, and had a chicken burger for main, which was very enjoyable. The prices are similar to those in the area.

We booked a table in the restaurant as it was near to where we were staying and we were advised it was a good place to go. We were really pleased we went. The restaurant was fresh and clean and, although clearly recently refurbished, managed to maintain a quaint, olde world feeling to it. The chicken wings starter was a little underwhelming as we expected spicy wings but that may have been our fault but the rest of the meal was delicious. It was also reasonably priced.

From the moment I phoned this pub to book our group, the Braunston Walkers, in for lunch halfway around a great 9 mile walk, to eating lunch the pub could not have been more welcoming. It is a beautiful old thatched inn with very pleasant decor and very friendly staff. We really enjoyed our lunch, baguettes served with chips and salads and some had full lunches , steak and ale pie, sausage and mash etc. It was all delicious, good value, nicely presented, and great service. The beer was also excellent. Top marks and we will be back. Thank you.

Heard lots about this pub but sadly cannot say our visit was more than ok. Ordered a steak medium rare and when it arrived was more than well done, also had to chase up half of my order. There were two tables eating in the restaurant and several eating outside, was not terribly busy but did have to wait a while. Bit disappointed after having it recommended to us.

Stayed for one night at the Plough Inn on our way to Cropredy. The staff were welcoming and the room was really well decorated and quaint, spacious and clean. We travelled with our dogs and they were really welcomed and made a fuss of. The food was tasty well presented and served by friendly staff. Have already booked for same again next year .

I cannot fault this beautiful establishment in a rural setting. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The staff are attentive and very friendly. The food is exceptional on any day and the sunday lunch is just perfect and huge!!Wouldnt hesitate to recommend this beautiful pub/restraunt to anyone.A hidden gem.

Although we had to wait rather a while for our food, they did apologise and cancelled the cost of the starter in reparation. We had Belly Pork, Tuna, and Fish&Chips - all very good and I thought the Tuna exceptional, served with apricot & tomato salsa. The Lemon Meringue pie was lovely and light, and beautifully presented, but I would have preferred a little more 'bite' to the lemon.

After a trip to Warwick castle we passed The Plough on our way back to our hotel and wanted pub grub rather than fine dining and we were not disappointed. It's what we call a proper local pub, friendly with good food even if there was a little too much. Not expensive at all and value for money. If we were that way again we would go back.

The landlord's/owners are drinking and talking (loudly) in the bar until 1/2am nice enough pub but not a great b & b food is less than average when busy general cleanliness leave's something to be desired

I've passed this pub many times, but never been in. It will definitely be on my list of places to take friends and family to eat in future. I had the fish pie, which was delicious, lots of fish in it. Although I didn't have a starter of dessert, my friends did - and they were enormous, none of this tiny portion business in this pub. All in all a lovely experience and we will be back!

Why have I not been here before, I've driven past so many times and thought I should see what its like. Now I have realised I've made a mistake in not booking a table sooner!! What a charming friendly little pub / restaurant. with a good selection of great tasting food, and good range of beers and wine, to enjoy in front of a log burner, I can truly say this one of the best pub/restaurant I've found in a long time. Will definitely be going back

Classic pub with a twist!Nice pub with a classic thatch roof, larger then most. Had a quick drink in the bar where there seemed to be friendly local folk. Was told there was a wait for food as they were busy but no problem had another great bitter. The restaurant was very homely with a pub style fire, menus arrived prompt and order taken- was shocked to see a proper pub grub menu- we had starters as it was my granddaughters birthday she had the black pudding starter which she said was great, I had the scallops which were especially good and everyone else said it was great. The mains came shortly after with a very smiley waitress. I had the pork belly which was smoothed in a nice Apple type sauce. Everyone had great time and my granddaughter had a great evening so hats off to the plough. Things are happening here!

Although this pub is only a couple of miles from where I live it is years since I set foot inside it, but when my daughter suggested it for Sunday lunch I thought, why not? (especially as she was paying).The pub is very oldie worldie, the bar has a very low ceiling with lots of beams, so mind your head. We were made to feel welcome. The bar was a bit crowded but we didn't mind standing for a few minutes before going into the dining room.The bar is very dog friendly do long as you have a friendly dog.It isn't a large dining room, no more than a half dozen tables, but they are well spaced out so you don't feel crowded. The service was prompt and we placed our orders quite quickly.I was the only one of our party of three who had a starter and it was very tasty, black pudding 'bombs' with a duck egg. I was a bit surprised that the duck egg was hard boiled and cold rather than soft poached and hot, but that wasn't a major issue and I enjoyed the dish.The main course was excellent. A very obviously home made chicken, ham and leak pie (short crust pastry not puff and cut in a triangle straight from a circular pie dish), served with fresh seasonal vegetables. There was a choice of potatoes so I chose chips.My wife and daughters told me that they were very satisfied with their pulled hamburgers (no, I'd never heard of that before either). We all enjoyed our meals and will certainly go back there.I can't comment on price as my daughter paid, but she didn't seem shocked by the bill.

We liked the ambience of the pub - roaring fire and lovely Christmas decorations. The waitress was quite young and, unfortunately, forgot to tell us that the two dishes we had chosen were off the menu. Bit disappointing. My husband had garlic mushrooms as a starter and I had a special mushroom starter which was superb! Disappointed with frozen chips with main meal, although they were nice and crispy. Would have preferred home made!

I am really sorry to say I was really disappointed , my food was only just warm and as the pub was not busy at the time there was no excuse. The menu was good , but the overall experience was not a good one.

I booked to stay over for one night in early November for myself and my two children. This found on an on line site. We could have stayed at the Days Inn locally for £27 less but breakfast would have been extra and although it would still have been cheaper we thought a village Inn would feel nicer. After booking we got an email stating that breakfast would be self serve/make tea, toast and cereals. Given this info the booking started to look quite expensive. When we arrived we found the place to be nice and traditional. The staff very friendly and the room was ok too. Not plush but functional and lacking touches like shampoos and shower gel. One window has no curtain which could be a summertime daylight issue. The biggest disappointment was breakfast. We were alone in the building, the room was dark and no apparent light switches. We had to hunt around to find milk in the catering fridge, no juice and limited offerings. We ate toast. Overall this place is ok/fine and very friendly, but I would question the value and especially on a Sunday evening. Food isn't served after four on a Sunday and they have an excellent quiz night with a first class quiz master.

We stayed here for a night in room 4 which is fabulously decorated with peacocks and is a family room (double and 2 singles). The beds are very comfortable. This room is en-suite and the shower is lovely and warm. The only thing that lets the room down is a small uncurtained window facing the road. However this did not disturb us too much. We also had dinner which was delicious. We only had main and dessert due to the great portion sizes. A lovely selection of meals and would love to visit again.Breakfast was hearty with as much tea, cereal and toast as you want in addition to the full English. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

We organised a meal here for a group of golfers (20). The food was very good and the service was brilliant. Good pub with good beer, good food and good service. What more would you want? They also have a small number of rooms for bed and breakfast.

Steak was half decent, the rest of the food was very poor. The service or lack of was very poor too. Couldn't get a drink at the table or a steak knife!!

Made a reservation to stay at the plough as I was competing with my horse in nearby Aston Le Walls. Hidden gem, friendly, lovely comfortable rooms and great food. Little bit of noise from the bar but that was expected as it was noted on booking.com but as soon as pub closed rooms were quiet. Compliments to their chef we had a lovely evening meal and breakfast. Will stay or visit again if we are back in the area

This was my second visit to The Plough and the experience was even better than the first. I really cannot fins fault. There was a superb choice on the menu and specials - I was really spoilt for choice. All the food was delicious with just the right size portions. Service was most attentive and efficient. The local guest beer, "Tabby" went down a treat too!To summarise, it was excellent value and an all round a great experience. I will be re-visiting when next in the area.

Very slow service but lovely waitresses. Poor puddings. Didn't get steak knives. Couldn't get a waitress for more drinks. All little things that add up. Food was good pub food and I would still go back again. Just could do better.

Always warm welcome & good specials board. Gets very busy. No food on Mondays. Best to go early as parking can be tricky at times

"Thank You All" What a great stay, lovely comfortable rooms, soft towels, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and bottled water in the rooms and a lovely comfortable bed. The place was spotless and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious, my first course, a slice of toast (choice of breads) and juice, help yourself, cereals etc. at 07:30 with some friends who had an early departure, then the delicious full english made with good, fresh, local ingredients at a more civilised hour with our remaining friends. Thanks to the Chef!Everyone at the Plough go out of their way to help and are friendly, Wil and Jen lead by example and what a great example!Don't take my word for it, try for yourself.

Great little country pub with a traditional rural interior well liked by it's regulars. Nice range of real ales, all in good condition. Friendly, smiling staff. Car par a little pot-holed but OK. Additional dining tables in a newish extension to one side. Great menu with fresh local ingredients and a lovely selection of puddings. Despite our best efforts we went for the full three courses. Starter was a home made duck and orange pate that was nice and intense. I enjoyed a piri-piri chicken breast that was both moist and spicy. Served with pre-packaged chips though. Fantastic bread and butter pudding, enriched with molten Mars bar and served with delicious custard. Coffee is made in one of those contraptions that looks like Doctor Who's robotic dog, K9. Recommended.

Just got back from Sunday lunch here with our 17 month old son, this was our first visit. Had 3 courses including the roast dinner, all was pretty good. Nothing special but it was reasonably priced above average pub grub and good sized portions. We were warmly welcomed and the service was very good.

Following a walk close by, thought we would eat out and have an early lunch, yum yum yum! Excellent food, service and price, we will very back. Think I might need another walk now!

The hosts give a good reception, it is our second visit there. The en-suite rooms are very comfortable, nice towels and bedding. Lovely creamy scrambled eggs on my veggie breakfast. help yourself to cereals , toast, tea etc.Good choice of specials and main menu. Popular with the locals, plenty of seating in different areas.

Dropped into the pub this lunchtime having already had a drink in this pub recently. Really impressed. Food was good quality, piping hot and here was plenty of it. It takes a lot to impress my Nan but you managed it! Great service. Great atmosphere.

Food was OK but nothing special - too much gravy on the plate and vegetables over cooked - could bemuch better with less quantity and more quality

From the warm welcome from the landlady to the excellent food served this was well worth the visit. We went with 6 friends, they had an event on for Air Ambulance and the pub was packed and fortunately we had booked our table. Even though they were rushed off their feet the food was served quickly and was of an excellent standard and good prices. Landlady to staff were super and friendly. Would highly recommend a visit. Some of these pub chains could do with a visit to see how its done here properly.

We met with friends here over the Christmas holidays, the pub was busy & inviting with a friendly atmosphere. There were a large group of us but this was no trouble for the chef or staff, we all enjoyed a delicious meal, with good sized portions & all of our meals came out together, we will definitely visit again & recommend to others

After hearing some good comments about this place we decided to try it for ourselves. It's got a really good atmosphere that feels like pubs did 20years ago. Friendly and traditional, with a good choice of ales, and a good menu with really good food. The staff are very professional and attentive, and with the log burners what more could you want?

Nice traditional village pub, good menu and choice of specials. Lovely warm welcome, log burners and clean and tidy refurbished decor. Food was amazing and we will be visiting again.

A really nice village pub with a very very warm welcome. The food was amazing ( pork belly ) the price of the drinks and food is better than your normal boring pub chain. Looking forward to visiting again very soon

Well hwhat took so long? this has always been a village needing a good local pub with good grub. Recently renovated this is now a very good eating and drinking establishment. We have eaten there three times in the last week with excellent food and service. Staff are friendly and as a relative local it is just wonderful to go in and meet friends from Byfield or Boddington. Being owned and run by illagers is a benefit as it encourages local support.The perfect place to sit and enjoy abeer or two a the end of a working day or week. But then with my name perhaps I am a little biased.Great pub, great experience every time well done.Tim Boddington

PLEASE NOTE: This is The Plough Inn, Upper Boddington. NOT in Daventry.Since February 2013 this country pub, restaurant and Inn has been under new management by local couples who are passionate about it and boy does it show! The re-vamp has helped to add to the convivial atmosphere.The food here is always of a high standard and plenty of it, there is a nice restaurant or you can eat in any of the various areas that make up the ground floor of this delightful establishment, the drinks are reasonably priced and you won't be ripped off for a bottle of wine. The staff are warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble.The Plough has got it right, it is still a country pub where you can call in for a pint and a chat and also has a great reputation for it's food.Though I have not had need to use the rooms I have heard nothing but compliments from visitors who have enjoyed their stay and their breakfast!Well done, keep it up.

Regularly drink in here, love the décor, love the staff, love the fun atmosphere on a summers evening or the warm cosyness on a cold winters night.Food Fab!

NEW MANAGEMENT, and considerable revamp of the building, including moving the bar into a more sane position.Much more popular than pre 2013. Food simple but good, and good value. Good beers, incl Marston's Pedigree on gravity.Note this pub listed both as "The Plough" and with the wrong photo, "the Plough pub", Daventry.(It is 10 miles south of Daventry!!)

The Plough reopened after a considerable revamp. The bar has been moved from the old lousy position, and the whole lot has been smartened up.This applies to the kitchen and the food. I have had 2 meals there, which were both well cooked, and from good ingredients. Nothing very exotic. Just good food, and bodes well for the future.Interesting how there are many more people going to the Plough than at any time in the recent past.Decent range of drinks, and well cared for..The new team have made a really good start, and they are keen.Not everything could be perfect at this early stage, but it compares very well with other pubs in the area, which it has not with exceptions in the recent past.

we wanted to try the newly refirbed pub, we both had steak, chipa and coldslaw both seamed homemade but steaks really let the side down. the decore was better thanit used to be and the stafff seamed friendly.

we booked a table for two for lunch after receiving a lovely menu through the post. The menu mentioned roaring log fires and a very varied and mouthwatering selection of choice. On arrival we noticed no roaring fires, in fact the inside was freezing, we kept our coats on throughout. The chef appeared to be running the premises himself. Other people arrived, they thought the place was shut initially because they couldnt get in the door. After waiting a while for someone to take our order, i went round to the kitchen to ask the chef to take all our orders. we waited quite a while for food, enough for us all to agree we were still cold and went to the kitchen again to ask for some heating to be switched on. The food arrived the christmas dinner was fatty and no trimmings , fish and vegtables were cold. In summary bad food and even worse service, even after more staff arrived. do not visit
