The Plough at Eaves, Woodplumpton in Preston

Heard there was a new team at the Plough, so went for lunch. I ordered 3 small plates for £15-- tempura prawns, salt & pepper chicken & chicken liver pate. They were all delicious, couldn't fault any of them, very filling too. Will definitely be going again.

First visit which coincided with Theatre Street Grill moving into the restaurant. Staff were lovely and very attentive. Food was incredible. Will definitely return.

We decided to pop in for Tuesday night burgers. We were given a very warm welcome by the staff and offered our choice of tables. The staff were extremely polite and nothing was too much trouble. Our food arrived, and wow what a fantastic feast. Probably the best burger I’ve ever had. We will definitely we back to try out fish Friday in a few weeks. Highly recommended.

Excellent service, geat good, large portions, food was lovely. staff very friendly, we couldn't fault the place. We will be back soon.

Visited on Sunday the 18/08/2024 at about 4.30 pm,me and my wife had our grandson ,who is 1 with us.On pulling into the car park we could see that the place was very quiet,only 1 couple in ,when we walked in.I asked if they were still serving food ,and yes they were ,we were seated accordingly in the bar area.I then asked a young man for a high chair ,of which he brought across to us,it was the white plastic type ,with straps ,and was absolutely filthy,not just on top of the tray ,but all the straps had dried food on them ,and the plastic connector was full of dried food .I asked the young lad if he could clean this chair ,and he took it out of our view to clean it .Both me and my wife and grandson were waiting at least 15 minutes for the chair to come back ,it was still filthy,we popped our grandson in,and then proceeded to wipe it down again with baby wipes ,it was minging .We then ordered a couple of drinks ,and then ordered the beef Sunday roast ,and the gammon Sunday roast ,priced at £16.95 each ,and a child’s spaghetti bolognaise at £5.95,after a very long wait of at least 25 minutes ,the Sunday roasts finally arrived ,my wife’s beef ,and my gammon,to say I was absolutely disappointed with my gammon roast ,is an understatement.How can 2 roasts be completely different,if you take the meat off both ,the potatoes ,carrots,broccoli ,mash,should be exactly the same portion sizes,alas not ,I had 2 of the smallest roasted potatoes ,known to man ,a tiny sprig of broccoli,a tiny spoonful of carrot , and mash,and the smallest slither of gammon you’ve ever seen(1 piece,about 3inch long by 3 inch across) very ,very fatty ,and well undercooked .My wife had 2 large slices of beef,3 large roast potatoes ,a large helping of mashed carrots,a large head of broccoli.and a large spoonful of mash.Totally different vegetable portion size to mine,both me and my wife thought it was the small portion at £12-95 .My grandson’s bolognaise arrived ,which looked fine,I then asked for English mustard ,horseradish ,and mint sauce ,again took an age to come.I then asked for the manager to come across ,and then asked ,would she pay £16.95 for that dish of mine,She agreed to a fashion that it wasnt right ,and said I should of had 2 pieces of gammon ,and couldn’t understand why the chef had only put one miesley piece on,I then said that the plates portions ,should be exactly the same ,minus the meats,she couldn’t grasp it .i then asked my wife if she was happy to carry on with her food ,of which she said yes ,I then asked Jennifer to take mine away ,I was disgusted with the service ,and attitude of Jennifer the manager ,who was huffing and puffing about it .The pub was empty ,there shouldn’t have been these issues,I now know why it was empty ,we will never visit the plough at eaves ever again,and warn other customers to be aware .

Decided to eat out last minute. Asked a friend who dines out regularly, to recommend somewhere. The Plough at Eaves was first choice for local pub food. booking was easy, via the online system and they were ready for us when we arrived. We seated in the very pleasant rustic dinning room by the welcoming, friendly staff. Our 'Fish Friday' offer of fish and chips with a bottle of wine was excellent quality food and good wine, only to be expected for such a great offer. We discussed the gluten free options with Jennifer, the assistant manager, as they are looking to improve their gluten free menu. The Plough at Eaves may now be our first choice for great pub food.

What a fantastic find for lunch on Saturday. We had called at The local farm shop just down the road & the lady there recommended it. Very warm welcome from the landlord. We had cheese pie which was fabulous and the fish finger sandwich. The food was superb. Would highly recommend & we will be there again next time we are in the area.

Lovely traditional country pub in the middle.of nowhere. Very warm welcome by the locals and the young man serving, slightly frosty young blonde lady serving though. We used to come here a lot pre-covid, as the previous owners served brilliant food, then sadly it closed. The new'ish Tenents are trying to make a come back. Outside and inside tidiness and ceanliness is lacking though and this needs addressing, ivy growing in through the fireplace window with cobwebs, dust on chair legs, sticky topped tables, guys this seriously needs addressing. I'm from the industry and have done many a hotel inspection. Our meal was so so. The mixed grills gammon and steak was a bit stingie, and although my other half is wierd and likes well done meat, said it was all lacking in seasoning, and was tough, chicken is very bland anyway so they need perhaps to baste it in say butter/garlic butter perhaps, but in fairness two sauces were available but the other half didnt like either. My rump steak salad was very nice, a little bit more Stilton next time please! The young men serving were excellent, checking in on us at the right stages, not overly done. Really nice wine, Malbec. We will visit again, as we do lile it here, but the place needs some TLC. If they tried harder to perfect the meals and the cleaning, this place should be a little goldmine. Hats off to them for trying.

Very Disappointing, Service was poor, nobody asked us if every thing was ok, had to constantly as for a drinks order to be taken, Food was not good, I ordered the hot pot, it was vey dry, carrots and onions were hard, lamb chewy, not cooked long enough,when mentioned to the waiter, no response. other meals had things missing. l do think a small menu done vey well is better than a big menu done pooly

Amazing Sunday roast with amazing service too! My partner has the red Thai curry - which was spiced to his liking - and he loved it! All this and a takeaway Sunday lunch for Brian the shih tzu!

What a difference a few months make! New management have transformed the atmosphere and food quality! Took my parents and extended family for a celebratory anniversary Sunday lunch today, wow. Friendly welcoming staff saw to our every need and the food was outstanding. Extraordinary roast dinner, best carrot and swede for a long time and the gammon was divine. Perfect roasties and Yorkshire puds all round. If you’re thinking of wandering into the beautiful north Preston countryside. Get it booked!

Such a lovely pub and very friendly welcoming staff. The food is lovely and the choice of drinks is vast. I came with my family for dinner in the evening and the atmosphere was great everyone just enjoying their bank holiday weekend and getting along. It almost felt like being at home. We will most definitely be coming again, hopefully next time we can try the Sunday dinners. Also big thankyou to a young girl called Tommy who made us feel welcome and catered for all our needs and provided excellent table and customer service. And all the other staff were excellent including the manager Michael. Great work guys!

Gone down hill, no chicken left at 6.30, lamb shank was covered in a lumpy ratatouille sauce, fatty lamb ! Will not be going again 🫤

I tried to contact the Plough at Eaves by phone on thursday 25th Jan. at least 8 times using the phone listed on the web site, and another number which was quoted for the Plough. one was continualy giving he engaged tone, (this was between 5pm and 9pm), and the other phone was ringing out no answer. Meanwhile I tried to book using the on-line booking service, submitted my request, and 24 hours later still not had a response. Whats going on? Not exactly confidence inspiring, is it. I cancelled my booking request and booked the Stags at Goosnargh. Pull your socks up!

My friend and I visited for a meal on a busy xmas Saturday night last weekend and although we had pre-booked there was a mix up and we weren't in the system. After sorting us a spot in the restaurant the manager (Michael) went above and beyond to look after us and we had a lovely meal and a great night. Even though they were busy he went out of his way to ensure we got what we wanted from the menu. All our food was hot and delicious, and the chef made me a fresh gluten free meal which was much appreciated (lamb shank - very yummy!). We will definitely be back and again thanks to Michael and the team for looking after us :)

Finally paid a visit since the refurb, pleasant & warm welcome. We both had the pie option & it was delicious, lovely table by the fire & the atmosphere around the bar seemed lovely. The decor & ambience is exactly what’s needed around these villages. Well done to you.

Another amazing Sunday Lunch- roast beef to die for & the best Yorkshire puds. Brilliant value for money with all sides included

Decorated to a high standard, it's a shame I can't say the same about the food, the quality of ingredients are poor, Aldi style burger bun, if you placed them together you'd never know which one was which. Frozen skin on fries. Flatbread pizza was doughy and undercooked, the starters wasn't too bad at all, we quite enjoyed them, this is our second time dining at The Plough At Eaves, but unfortunately will not be returning for a third time, there is better choices in the surrounding areas.

Food is absolutely amazing!! Brilliant visit to the Plough! Highly recommend the Tempura King Prawns, the sweetcorn fritters and the mixed grill. Every bit of them was delicious! Lisa was lovely and really attentive. Can’t recommend the Plough enough!

If you love a proper Ploughman's Lunch then be sure to visit the Plough at Eaves! Very generous portions and extremely tasty. Service was friendly and efficient. It must be 10 years since we were last at the Plough but we'll certainly not be leaving it that long again.

Fillet steak was spot on and 2 for £29 on Wednesday is an amazing offer! Lovely atmosphere and Abbey did a great job!

Abbie was amazing. I went for a meal with friends and the service was spot on. Friendly staff and very welcoming. Food was orgasmic. Starter was chorizo and mix grill spot on. Abbie was our waitress and she was mint

Food was amazing service second to none. We came for steak night but the starters amazing I had creamy mushroom and chorizo then the mixed grill the food was amazing.

Called in early evening for a meal with my two teen children. Bar maids were lovely and friendly apologised as we had to wait half an hour for the chef to arrive before food started but it wasn’t a problem at all. Lovely and clean quaint old pub. Food arrived in super fast time once chef arrived (he wasn’t late he had something on at his other pub). We were told of a brilliant offer on the grill menu of £29 for two meals which included fillet steak, hanging kebabs and lamb chops. Unfortunately my children wanted meals from the main menu and so I chose the steak and ale pie. My goodness it was jam packed with the softest braised steak not an ounce of fat in the richest delicious gravy and a light crumbly pastry. Honestly the most delicious Steak and ale pie I have ever had. Even driving home when I was full to the brim when I spoke about it my mouth watered! My son had the chicken a la creme with rice and tender stem broccoli which he wolfed down and said it was delicious and my daughter who is a teenager and picks at her food generally seemed to inhale her fish and chips! You could see how fresh the batter and fish were. The portions were huge I am still full now some three and half hours later. Could not fault this little gem of a pub. Have already told my husband we will be returning for Sunday lunch. Thanks to all of the staff at the plough we really enjoyed our impromptu meal.

Ordered 3 differing small plate items, each was super tasty!! Lovely friendly pub in a beautiful location. Service was outstanding.

Visited for Sunday lunch which was excellent - love the gravy being served separately as I don’t like my plate “swimming” but husband does! Good selection of vegetables were served including cauliflower cheese (a favourite). Friendly staff, good size car park. Will be returning!

Nice setting. Plesant staff and good service. Really pleased this pub has reopened. It was busy, especially when the weather is nice and sunny. Food was ok but not brilliant. We had a selection of small plates. Tempura prawns had way too much heavy batter. Not tempura style at all. Mushrooms and chorizo tasty but certainly not creamy! Chips were really great though! Desserts are not worth bothering with. Had Eton mess not sure what it was but it certainly wasn't Eton Mess. Jam mixed with custard maybe? Far too sweet and one limp strawberry on top. Didn't eat much of it.

Excellent Sunday lunch good choice good service Very friendly attentive service great family Sunday lunch and great value

Visited this lovely pub/restaurant, it's been years since I have been here. Staff were really nice, the owner is very nice and clearly passionate about the place and the area. The food was exceptional and all reasonably priced too. Highly recommend with Friends, Family, Couples...

Lovely pub to stop at on our bike ride. Lots of character. Great service from the staff. Enjoyed a selection of their small plates in the sunshine. Good menu choice. Great pub, worth a visit. Good to see a pub well supported.

Lovely pub to stop at on our bike ride. Lots of character. Good menu choice. Enjoyed a selection of their small plates in the sunshine. Great service from the staff. Would recommend. Good pub worth a visit. Good to see a local pub well supported

It was my first visit here for a while. I had the “Two Tapas Tuesday” deal and through the food was magnificent, very flavoursome. Hence the good review immediately after the visit.

We decided last minute to go out for Sunday Lunch and are so glad we came here! We ordered the Thai Beef Salad to share as a starter, and two beef Sunday Roasts- with all the trimmings, The beef was cooked perfectly and the Yorkshire...

Beers very pricy, food quality which was very mediocre did not reflect the price. Young team of staff, helpful friendly but inexperienced. Wouldn’t bother returning.

Amazing food, staff were amazing, couldn't fault a thing, nice to see a place reopen and nail it, well done to all the staff, Lisa is building an awesome team

Beautifully decorated with a cosy interior, lots of on site parking! Staff very friendly, quiet country pub, food was okay, the crispy beef salad could of done with a choice of salad dressing as it was just not up to a standard we have had...

This is still just a pub, despite the new nice makeover. Unfortunately the very young staff have clearly not had any training and the young lady who took our order seemed frightened to death, although there were only 7 of us, ranging from 74 to...

After reading about the reopening I decided to book a table for my husbands birthday, we were a table of 6. The food was acceptable, the service was very slow and the bar service was chaotic. However, I put all this down to teething problems...

So disappointed in what was once a great pub. On a nice evening decided to stop off and eat outside. We were presented with an uninspiring bar menu of assorted sandwiches and nibbles. We asked if that was it and told if we wanted “proper...

It was a party of six who all had something different and each meal was top-class! The service was efficient and friendly. All in all, it was a fantastic night. We will all be back again!

Superb situation, food, wine, staff, we couldn't fault anything. Will definitely make it a regular. Thanks so much to Lisa for fitting us in on busy night, after a long motorway journey.You work so hard and deserve every success . Heather and Bernie Ainsworth

Heard this lovely pub had re-opened so went along for lunch. A lovely sunny day, we travelled lancashires green lanes full of Hawthorne and Coltsfoot to find this lovely country inn. The doors were open to a bright cheerful interior and we settled for the...

We went today to sit in the garden and have lunch as when we drove past a couple wee sitting outside eating - We ordered drinks and got a menu when we went back in to order lunch we were told we could not eat...

This pub is one of my favourites to go for a pint I took the family last Sunday and had a great Sunday lunch roast beef and all the trimming . The two bar staff were very friendly and a good laugh

Had visited the pub on several occasions, the first two times were pretty good but was not overly satisfied with the jerk chicken that I ordered, it was a little too dry and lacking flavour but this was on a special board. If you like...

Called here on Friday lunchtime for a lunch treat. It didn’t disappoint, it was a pleasure to eat in an old school pub, low beams, traditional furniture and decoration. Whilst choosing from the menu, I enjoyed a really tasty pint of bitter. There was a...

After reading the previous reviews we had high expectations but sadly we were very disappointed and would not return. The manager was very rude and had a very bad attitude. The dining area is dark and dingy. We were planning to have a meal but...

5 Star Lunch Fabulous Lamb & Beef Burger, super friendly service as always - they always go above and beyond, fab Thwaites Gold too!! Great views!! Highly recommend!

Decided to give this pub a go after reading good reviews, this place is really run down in need of a refurb, but main reason we visited was for the food, quite off putting was the waitress walking around with a grubby t towel hanging...

Visited on 17/04/2022 Ordered the Texan burger, was not disappointed, price was reasonable, lovely surroundings with an outdoor beer garden. Staff are very welcoming and polite upon arrival, could not fault, had an awesome meal out

Family meal out for sister's birthday. Lovely welcome on arrival. My husband and my brother in law had the fish& chips. And both said that they was really good. My sister had the chicken of the specials board . She commented that it was the...

Well what can I say, came here with family and will honestly be back. Food was piping hot on arrival and every bite was delicious, sausages of a high quality, sea bass lovely and fresh, chicken looked devine and the fish and chips cooked to...

Good well cooked, well priced food, good size portions, and David is a superb host, we will be back, absolutely brilliant

We had not realised that the Plough had reopened and were very pleased to see our favourite picture postcard pub back on form. A really delicious lunch - we would definitely recommend the coconut chicken curry and liver, bacon and onions.

We booked the Plough for a family of nine for lunch last Thursday and it was so welcoming with a roaring fire in the bar which was wonderful as it was bitterly cold outside. Our food was beautiful very hot and well presented we couldn't...

Superb again ! Just to say Thanks.Our lunch was superb again.Freshly cooked and lovely. We just had sandwiches and the chips , attention to detail again.Keep up the hard work .Your effort is very much appreciated.

Superb and amazing service. Lunch today 26/11/21. Very friendly and lovely and welcoming. Ordered lunch .Freshly prepared .Very nice and looking forward to our next Visit.Thank you for your care and attention.

Called in for tea Sunday. Service was excellent and the food was beautiful. Highly recommend it. Menu not too complicated but great choice from about fifteen main dishes plus starters and desserts. Great selection of drinks too.

Not suitable for families. They don't have high chairs available so we were unable to go here for a family meal. Shame as the food looked nice. They must be trying to discourage families from going.

We waited a whole hour before being told something wasn’t available. Half hour later and still no food. We left after 90 minutes, hungry and disappointed. No offer of complimentary drinks or explanation. Just a sorry when we finally said we’re leaving and can’t wait...

Absolutely stunning… possibly the best roast dinner I’ve had in a long time!! My husband’s 20oz steak cut like butter and was also delicious!! Staff couldn’t do enough for us too!! Can’t wait to go back, I now consider myself a local!

I am leaving this review because the potential and intent is clearly there. Under new management, very recently, and a lot to live up too. The previous management served really great meals. We had a few drinks and ate. At no point did anyone check...

We decided to try the Plough at Eves as we had always enjoyed it when it was open previously. We weren't disappointed the food was excellent, freshly cooked and the service was also friendly and efficient. We will definitely return.

We had gone to another local pub with my elderly mum for tea and when we arrived, we were told that the kitchens closed at 6pm. We had to rethink and we decided to try the Plough at Eaves. We weren't disappointed. Very welcoming staff,...

Great service and lovely food. A wide choice of meals all cooked perfectly with a nice twist on traditional food. Very dog friendly too so it is very highly recommend from our family and poppy the dog

Absolutely excellent & delicious food. I had a streak and which delicious! It was better than anywhere else in the area. I highly recommend visiting here.

Visited today after a long absence and had an enjoyable lunch, good food all made to order and well presented, in a lovely rural setting. Very little changes to the well known establishment still cosy and comfortable. Asked if they would consider bringing back the...

We arrived quite late (19:45) but the staff kindly fitted us in ( food is served until 20:30) and the food was great, i had the game pie which was very very tasty and a great cask ale. There was also plenty for the kids...

I can't review the food or service as neither was available at lunchtime today. It appears that food service is only available on limited days and times, certainly not as indicated above.

Good Homemade Food, Better Than Expected,Friendly Staff, Peaceful Location,Worth A Visit,Well Done Guys , Keep It Up !!!!

An excellent hidden delightful rural pub serving superb food of a standard worthy of any restaurant. Good selection of ales etc. Choice of dining areas in the traditional front lounges, is a side conservatory seating maybe 30 people, or several picnic benches around the side...

Great food. Good value for money. Excellent service. A lovely old Pub steeped in history. This was our first meal there and will definitely go back.

I’ve drunk on and off in the Plough for over 45 years (I’ve lived abroad for 30) and on discovering it has reopened since the pandemic, I’ve been twice. Situated in a stunning country setting, and geared towards those who love good food, this is...

Atmosphere difficult because not many people. Service poor. Food good. Experience spoilt because of poor service

The first meal out for quite a while. The food and service was very good. A lovely pub way out in the countryside. Very well organised and a very enjoyable experience.

Our 2nd time here since the 17.5.21, what a lovely, quaint, country pub, David the manager is lovely, helpful, friendly and polite, on both occasions the food was lovely, the Moretti beer & Chardonnay are really nice (these van differ greatly), we will be visiting...

Our last minute decision for lunch with friends at the Plough was a great choice! Th lunchtime selection was good with plenty of unusual dishes on the specials board. All very reasonable. Our meals were piping hot when they arrived and were served with a...

My family and I (five of us and a dog), walked through the wide-open door of this pub at 9.10pm on bank holiday Monday evening 26 August 2019. There were people in the pub, some having a drink, some looked like they'd had a meal....

An old friend from Switzerland was here for the weekend (an annual event), and for his first night in the UK we thought we'd take a trip to the Plough. Even though he lived in Preston for many years he'd never been there and he...

Old style Inn with a modern conservatory for larger groups. Surrounded by fields on a quiet lane. Big car park. Top notch food over several visits. Great value for money.

My partner and I came for the first time for a meal on his birthday, when we arrived I wasn't sure what it could be like as the place looked very old ei decor, pictures and object's on the walls and around the place. I...

Warm welcome and lovely food and surroundings will be going back soon. Plenty of starters and mains to choose from. This is a very historic place to eat, Cromwell and his men came for meetings during the battle of Preston, this place is a must...

Amazing 😉 food and Service very friendly staff with a good sense of humour 👍reasonably price home cooked food

Thoroughly enjoyed a late lunch with friend today at this lovely little pub in Eaves. Tasty homemade food. Had hot roast beef n onion baguette with crispy chunky fries dressed with sides of coleslaw and salad. In a nutshell so delicious and with friendly attentive...

We eat at THE PLOUGH as often as possible WHY? Well because the FOOD is SO GOOD and the WINE SO SMOOTH and the GUINNESS second to NONE. MARK BOND(could be related to JAMES but he's not) is the MANAGER and he is very friendly...

This Saturday evening 40 of us dressed in vintage dress arrived on a 1940 double decker bus at the end of a local pub crawl. We had pre booked supper with Mark the landlord . Forty very satisfied customers enjoyed chilli & curry prepared &...

Visited here with family on Saturday 22nd , have now been a few times We all really enjoyed our meals , three of us had chicken breast stuffed with black pudding Brother in law , had salmon, with prawns in a white wine sauce ,...

7 of us here for dinner and a variety of dishes chosen. Pies very well thought of, starter soup (parsnip & ginger) excellent. However, let down by vegetables. Sprouts over-cooked, mashed potato forgettable/ordinary, roast potatoes worst i've had in a long time (really horrible) but carrot & swede mash was good. Not the biggest portions ever seen but enough. Xmas pudding was notably small. Choice of beers not the widest either. Overall good but definitely lots to improve on. Very popular with older people - hardly any young people in the place except for staff - probably due to prices which are very good (low). Would be 3 'stars' rating but prices merit 4.

Very enjoyable dinner in this lovely country pub; home made wholesome food in generous portions, pleasant service and good value. Shall be returning and strongly recommended.

Came in on a Sunday afternoon with the family and had the most wonderful Sunday lunch. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. We were extremely satisfied . Thanks Mark we will definitely be back.

first and last time at this nice looking country pub, had the mixed grill £14.95 each, when it arrived it looked like the dogs dinner, small plate with everything thrown on to it, no presentation what's so ever, the meat was very bland will not be visiting again, shame because the pub itself was in a nice location we went on trip advisors recommendation took a lot of the meat home for the dog, she enjoyed it most expensive meal she's had.

We've been a few times recently and the standard is excellent, we are a mixture of vegetarian, pescatarian and meat eaters and all found it a good experience

Went out for a family Sunday meal today with friends - booked for 12.30hrs.

Such a lovely place for a spontaneous dinner out. Lovely friendly staff who are very attentive. The food is excellent, the quality and portion sizes are perfect. Home made curry came with naan and poppadam Specials are on a blackboard which they bring to your table. Traditional desserts are to die for. Sticky toffee pudding, pavlovas and chocolate brownies.

We are often here for Sunday lunch, and its a delight. Service with a smile, tasty reasonable food and good drinks. Sunday roast is great, and a good menu choice too

Visited here as it was recommended to us by other members of our family and it was really nice and we really enjoyed the food and service. We particularly liked how quiet the restaurant was as it is in a rural area and is quite far out from Preston which made the visit quite peaceful and relaxing. The food was very nice and good service, would definitely recommend as it was very nice and we will return here in the future.

Top quality food with an extensive menu, also daily specials allways good to try for a change, service very quick and staff very friendly

Oldy worldy, classic, rustic, farmhouse style, an establishment with interesting paintings and interesting objects to look at. Good choice of beers and food very good, huge portions! Will come again. Christine Wiley

Called in for lunch, first visit in many years. Friendly welcome, good choice of draught beers. Comprehensive menu plus specials board. I chose a hot roast beef sandwich, It came with succulent beef and onions with gravy, plenty of good chips and salad - a full meal! Assorted places to sit, good atmosphere.

Food ok. Bar man should find a job that dosent involve customer service. Bad language at the bar made me feel very uncomfortable. Won't go again.
