I’ve not been to the Plough for a couple of years, certainly since it’s been taken over, the menu was excellent, the food was exceptional, and the service was first class very friendly and happy to chat, with the focus on the clientele, will definitely visit and eat again.

We came here for my dads 80th birthday. What a brilliant choice. The owners could not have been more helpful, letting us decorate a beautiful private area. There were 12 of us and we had such a fantastic meal and a brilliant night. Nothing was too much trouble and the chef made special dishes for two of us even though they were super busy. Very charming old world pub with a great atmosphere.

Amazing place the service excellent the menu fabulous. We visited when visiting friends in the area they had to book in advance as this place is popular- we now know why. A husband and wife team impeccable service and food that was extremely good. The food is local and seasonal and cooked to perfection. Could fault nothing.

Heard this place was worth a visit so thought would give it a try and found it to be very welcoming, cosy and well organised. The food was excellent and presented well. A nice atmosphere, busy but not rushed and Sarah found time to have a chat and answer our queries about future visits. A lovely evening and we will return.

We have visited a few times now but feel that standards have slipped since our first visit after this venue reopened with new owners. On our first visit we found the food excellent, I even had 3 courses which is unheard of ! However we have now found that the menu is not as good or inventive as before just basic pub grub albeit well cooked. My main gripe and the reason for this review is that the place looks an absolute tip, both the bar and restaurant need a really good tidy up, I don’t want to sit eating my meal whilst looking at the unkempt bar containing at least 4 spray bottles of cleaning fluid, various j cloths, dirty glasses and opened bottles of wine on the counter, the bar area was the same with two opened packs of catering peanuts and cardboard boxes all over the bar counter. For goodness sake please delegate and teach your staff the art of tidying up which will also stop them from looking so bored. Our last visit has really put us off visiting again which is such a shame.

This is the best meal I’ve had in years, maybe ever. Advertised as pub food, this pub offers restaurant quality food from a lovely village setting. The service was excellent and the only problem is that the secret is out and you need to book. In my opinion, the Chef and joint owner made the George at Stamford famous’, and this pub is that and more.

What a superb venue. The Plough in Wilford is a popular venue for good reason, so book well in advance. A wonderful rustic pub in a small rural village, that offers a wonderful dining experience. The menu isn’t vast, but in my view that’s a good thing, but it does cater for most tastes. We were a table of 4 and every plate ordered was simply wonderful. Sarah the owner is very cheerful and chatty who is happy to explain in detail each dish on the menu, to help you choose. Her husband is the Chef, who must be complimented for his skills in presenting plentiful and very tasty plates of food. We have friends visiting next Month and we were lucky enough to book a repeat visit, I honestly can’t wait.

We visited with friends on the 2nd December for our annual Christmas meal out. 9 of us in total and the restaurant was full. Service was excellent, host was very welcoming and the food Devine. I started with the cheese soufflé which melted in the mouth and the right flavour of cheese. The roast Turkey was moist and roast potatoes actually crispy. I finished this with the cheeseboard. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we will definitely be back. A wonderful place for a special occasion.

We we’re visiting Family today in Sleaford and it was also my mum’s 92nd birthday. My sister in law had booked the Plough as a treat for all of us and what a treat it was. We weren’t going to have 3 courses but the menu, the lovely smell of food cooking and the ambiance of the place tempted us. The food was lovely, well presented snd absolutely delicious. We had the white bait and Burrata and tomato salad, the beef cheeks bourgnigon, Roast chicken and chorizo risotto, the fish stew finished with the chocolate tart, tiramisu and the panacotta. Phew!! My elderly mum struggles to eat lots of foods now but they tweaked her choice and made suggestions so that she could enjoy her lunch. They even put a sparkler in her dessert for her birthday. I’m told it can be difficult to get a table and I’m not surprised!!

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Sarah and Paul. We visited for our 50th Wedding anniversary on the 2nd of September. The Plough delivered Gold. 22 and a half (sorry Annie) sat down to superb lunch, choices of starter, one main, choices of desert, cake and superb champagne. The attention was what we now expect from Sarah and Paul, unrivalled, unpretentious and faultless. The only downside is that it is 50 miles too far west. The people of Grantham and Sleaford should be so grateful they have the plough on their doorstep. Value for money? I don't know how they do it. Keep up the good work we all love it. Giles and Irene

On our way back from Boston to Belton Woods this evening we saw signs for The Plough and turned into into the village of Wilsford. We were welcomed immediately as we stepped through the door and despite being very busy were found a table. We ordered the Salmon, and the Lamb sausages. The food was of a high quality and the taste was exceptional without being 'over-Cheffed' as many places tend to do now. I particularly loved the blend of salmon with new potatoes and Thai green spice sauce. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the Minted lamb sausages and mash. The friendliness and ambiance is completely on point. Well done - great job, thank you and best of luck for the future.

We looked for a country pub on the way home from visiting our daughter at university and found The Plough.We had a very warm welcome from Sarah and Paul. There were two excellent ales on offer as well as a range of lagers, ciders etc. We chose the salmon and pate as starters and both were excellent, and then both had the roast beef. It was beautifully cooked and came with amazing cauliflower cheese and roasted vegetables.We hardly had room for desert so shared some profiteroles which were excellent too. Couldn't fault it.Apparently the owners haven't had the place long, but clearly have hit the ground running.Hope to drop in again when we're next in the area.

IMO this restaurant's quality has deteriorated in recent times. The service is good but the food is hit & miss. My beef pie was not as shown on the menu, and clearly microwaved from frozen, thus making the pastry, not suet, inedible. The meat was tough. Everything else was fine. Its a shame that this attention to detail spoils a good location.

Spotted this quaint little gem on Tripadvisor this week, called in for lunch today on spec, we were greeted by Lilly who ask us if we’d like a table. The menu had plenty of choice we liked and reasonably priced. We were served drinks - I had a Bombadier bitter and my wife a G&T from their extensive list of choices, while we waited for our lunches which were served piping hot and absolutely delicious with vegetables served separately in side dishes well presented. The desserts topped off a fabulous lunch, I had syrup sponge & 2 jugs of custard - to die for, while my wife had ice cream & custard which Lilly said she’d never been asked for before!

The menu is varied, he food cooked to order and there is also a specials board. Both visits, I had the seafood platter, which was delicious. Lovely light tempura batter on the prawns. My friend enjoyed his steak and my husband, the beef bourguignon. The puds were huge as well, with the sticky toffee and ginger obviously being home made. I loved my banana split and we all left feeling very satisfied. The pub has a good atmosphere and they were fully booked for food on the Saturday night.

So note one, book! We had a very nice greeting and directed to our table. Drinks and food order made at the table. Queenie had a wine at £4.50, i had large pepsi £2.50. Wife ordered rump steak, £13.95. I ordered corrage pie off the 2 for £12.95 menu (as it was only one meal, was charge £6.95). Food was well prepared and presented and in my humble opinion very good value. Finished with a coffee £1.90. So all in lunch for £29.80. Pub caters for vegetarians with options. This is very good value and we will definitiely be revisiting. Highly recommended.

Came across the Plough by accident. We were looking for somewhere to eat whilst travelling from Sleaford to Grantham and saw the signs on the main road. It was bang on 6pm when we called in and although they were booked up the landlord changed things round to accommodate us. The meal was absolutely top drawer, so much so we booked for the following evening. This coincided with an England game during the world cup and the landlord, despite being French, put a tv up in one of the rooms and we were joined by numerous locals for a really enjoyable evening. I can strongly recommend it

Closed Plain Wooden door of the Pub made place look shut but pushed open it revealed a busy bar set in Olde Worlde beamed room. Initially told they were fully booked (Thurs night) but the Gaffer guided us to the Conservatory, which was fine. Horncastle bitter was good enough & despite the busy evening we had meals on our tables within 1/2 hour. Chicken Supreme. Fish pie & 3 Steak pies with suet pastry. All wiped clean.

My son and I stumbled upon The Plough purely by chance, having never been to Wilsford before. The main room is charming and has a lovely atmosphere complete with roaring fire, beams, tartan carpet, and a quirky bar made out of dark wood panelling and reclaimed mahogony drawers. The beer is extremely well kept, the food was exceptionally good, and the welcome and service from the landlord was exemplary. All in all everything a great English pub should be!

Today a group of us had lunch at The Plough, some had eaten there before and said how good it was, and how right they were. A good warm welcome, offered by so many pubs and not received was given to us, and the food was first class. I had the steak and ale pie with suet topping, which was to die for and other people felt the same about their meals, I've never seen to many clean plates. I didn't expect to stay for a pudding but when the menu came I couldn't resist the chocolate and cherry fondant with cream and ice cream, delicious. Some of our party had puddings too, the ginger pudding was to die for and the tart tatin the same. All in all a delicious meal. When I got home I was telling my husband about it, when the awful truth dawned on me that I hadn't paid for it, I rang immediately and was told just drop it in when you are passing, no recimminations at all, Have just put a cheque in the post, and hopefully will be lunching or dining there again soon. Well done to The Plough and staff.

It was such a pleasant evening on Saturday at the Plough Inn. A wide range of choices of starters and main meals being served with four fresh seasonal vegetables cooked to perfection with a rare choice of mashed potatoes as well as chips and boiled. We thoroughly enjoyed our beef bourgignon and chicken in sauce Normande. The vast majority of meals were under £10 and good sized portions so excellent value, as were the homemade desserts at £3.95. The choice of hot and cold puddings was superb. The pannacotta and cheesecake were both lovely. Staff were friendly and service was good, we will definitely return.

Very good food and extraordinary value for money. We went for the two main courses for £12 option - my wife's sea food platter was generous and very well presented - the chips with it had a subtle taste which took me back to my childhood. I went for the faggots and mash - which I can strongly recommend for flavour and richness of the gravy. No space I fear for anything else but the bill including drinks came to £15. I can see why this place is so popular and we were grateful we got there early as we hadn't booked. Would definitely return.

We also were impressed with the cleanliness and their specialities, Sunday roast and an inspired a la carte menu add to the pleasure of visiting this excellent pub. Bill & Mafalda

have stopped here a few times now. Great service and food, plenty of it and really good value. Dry white wine is good, and it often isn't in pubs.

Just returned from this amazing old inn and sitting totally replete after another tasty meal. Nobody could fail to be utterly charmed by the owner and staff serving a nice range of home cooked and well presented meals. I rarely give the full five points as the establishment really has to try hard to impress to this extent and the Plough Inn achieves this in buckets. It isn't big and pretentious but just a great village hostelry offering good value for money. No wonder that you have to book to get a table!

Roast lamb was very good as was the Bacon chop and mashed smooth potato and fresh veg, mixed indian food starter very tasty, did not have pub but apparently the ginger bread and orange cheese cake was lush.

Went for fathers day with my family and father in law. Despite having plenty of staff there was simply no organisation. Staff stood doing nothing whilst people sat with empty plates and we tried for ten minutes to get another drink. The food was only average although not over expensive. Two coarses of Sunday lunch took just over 2 hrs. We asked for a desert menu after waiting twenty minutes after the main coarse but was told there were not enough menus and would have to wait for someone to finish with one. No one even took the initiative to tell us the 4 or 5 items for desert. It was so frustrating because it was simple pub grub, nothing more nothing less. Very very disappointed.

My family and I came across the Plough only by virtue of the brown sign from the main road bypassing the village, and I'm so glad we did. They were fully booked up, but let the six of us, plus our old dog, use the conservatory. It was a sunny day, and the chap running the place went out of his way to make sure that the temperature was comfortable for us. He and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.The level of service continued the good impression, and then came the puddings! I had ginger cake, with ginger sauce and loads of custard, my wife had a banana split, and the kids had cheese cake. They were all magnificent, with generous portions, and very reasonably priced too.We don't pass that way very frequently I'm afraid, but I can't recommend it highly enough, if you happen to find yourself in need of grub in that area.

My mum was celebrating her 70th birthday and wanted somewhere to have a family meal for 8. We hadn't been to the Plough at Wilford before but it had been recommended to us. Great service, fabulous food and a lovely atmosphere also great value too. Would highly recommend it.

Arrived here on the offchance, seeing where our nose took us out on the bike. It was Easter Sunday, so we were only hoping to sneak in for a drink and maybe a sandwich - got there about 11:30, so pretty much first through the door. We were met by a very friendly and helpful Frenchman who I believe is the owner. We were fitted in with no trouble (we were not booked, at almost lunchtime, on what was to be a very busy Sunday) and served promptly. The food, when it came, was hot, well presented, and very, very tasty. The pub was clearly well thought of, and had a large number of obviously regular patrons through the doors, all of whom were friendly. The large volume of customers, however, did not have an adverse effect on the speed of service or the quality of the food. A really nice place, and an excellent little find on a random road trip. Recommended!

We've been to the Plough at Wilsford many times in the past and always found it welcoming. The new landlord and staff however have taken it to up to a superior level. Some refurbishment work has been done with more to follow and has made the surroundings even more comfortable. The whole ambiance is what you would hope for in a country inn and the pleasant owners and attentive staff means that you will seamlessly float through a very enjoyable meal. Nothing is too much trouble and all done with some friendly but unobtrusive banter which makes you feel at home straightaway. The food is of good quality, well prepared and delicious served in a competent and professional manner. Priced very reasonably so that you feel you have very good value for money in cosy surroundings.Book to ensure a space at weekends or just turn up in the week (but you do take pot luck as it will become more popular) and make the journey to this excellent eatery, you'll be glad that you did!

A large party of hungry walkers were well fed and watered. The 2 meals for £12 menu was varied and substantial. We had ordered in advance and the food was speedily served and very tasty. We were already planning a return visit before leaving. Well done to all the staff.

Really cannot rate this pub high enough.3rd visit in 3 weeks as part of a walk.Specials board will cater for almost everyone, and if not the main menu is superb.Had the Aberdeen Angus burger with cheese and bacon. Can honestly say it is the best burger I have ever had. Definitely having that again next week.Great pint of ale at each visit, and seemingly from local breweries.

The Plough is owned by a Frenchman who is well steeped in the trade of hospitality.The service was very good as was the food and drinks and at sensible prices. There was a pleasant atmosphere without pretension to being anything but a good honest country pub. The menu had a leaning towards French cuisine which adds to the experience.We shall go again!

The arrival of Laurent and Sally has done wonders for this pub. They have kept a few of the old standards on the menu but now add new dishes all beautifully cooked and changing often enough for you to find something new even if you go quite often. Laurent has perked up the wine list and regularly changes the draft beer. Wilsford is small and a bit out of the way and must draw in custom from a way around and it is now certainly doing that.

Tonight we visited The Plough for the first time since the new owners, Laurent and Sally took over a few weeks ago (May 2016). They have already put their mark on the place without spoiling the quaint charm of this traditional pub. The Plough, small by modern chain pub standards, is an old stone village pub with an open fire and traditional beams and has a real cozy feel to it.The food was superb with the sausages, steak and gammon all being locally sourced from Ancaster Butchers. I had the chicken with Normande sauce, it was absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend it. The food was not expensive and was very hot and tasty all cooked to order, not your 'ding' fast food pub grub which is so often served up these day.I would highly recommend The Plough, we will certainly be visiting again, and quite soon.

Saw a road sign and took a punt on this pace. It is a very nice small villiage pub with great character. We had a Sunday roast in the conservatory which is a fairly modern extension. THe service was attentive and the roast luch was hot and tasty. All in all a pleasant break in our journy and we were so pleased to find such a great place to stop and eat.
