The Plough at Eaves in Preston

Lovely place for a winter Sunday lunch

Good to see the Plough at Eaves appears to be going from strength to strength. Situated in a lovely country spot and full of character. Friendly staff. Good selection behind the bar. And the food is good. I had the ploughman's lunch and I was not disappointed. We will be back to try more. Excellent spot to stop on an evening cycle ride.

Regularly visit the plough. Lovely and welcoming staff Kerry, Alex and Michael. New local and brilliant food within the pub and theatre street as well. 10/10 perfect country pub

Excellent service in a charming character building. Bar staff are fantastic and the beers are always on form.

1st time we have visited this pub, food was lovely apart from the Yorkshire Pudding which was rock hard and really hard to cut. It was like it had been microwaved. Shame cos the rest of the food was excellent. Fish had a lovely crispy batter and the raspberry and lemon tart was delicious.

I cannot praise the Plough highly enough. Rare to find a place that has brilliant friendly service and the best food all in the most beautiful building. The beer is spot on. Do visit you will not disappointed. Update Ate this Thursday eve 24th Oct. The staff could not be more attentive. The food was exceptional The Plough is a rare find and it is so much more than the sum of it's parts.

Nice burgers, but on the night service was extremely slow. However, the staff were extremely apologetic about this. The pub was nice and cosy with a good atmosphere. A new menu coming soon I believe.

Very friendly staff and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend the roast beef dinner and gammon. Will definitely be visiting again. Especially when its the burger night, pizza/pasta night and pie night. Son wasn't overly keen on the lasagne but came with a nice garnish.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch today. Great to see the place back up and running with great food!

Fantastic friendly pub , we had a meal at the new theatre street grill , beautiful place , the food was amazing and excellent personal service , will definitely be back the restaurant is a great addition to an already amazing pub

Fantastic place, lovely staff, excellent service. Food was excellent. We had a lovely 94th birthday meal. Thanks for a wonderful experience. ♥️

Heard there was a new team at the Plough, so went for lunch. I had 3 small plates for £15. Tempura prawns, salt & pepper chicken & chicken liver pate. They were all delicious & filling. Will definitely be going back.

Great food and atmosphere, service exceptional

Lovely little pub, gorgeous food and very nice staff. 100% will definitely return.

Really nice evening. Good food & drink. A very pleasant atmosphere in an old favourite hostel.

The food was good when it arrived but the atmosphere let it down. Very run down, worn carpets, felt dusty/dirty. I wouldn't visit again unless it had a refurbishment despite the food being good quality.

Fantastic food! Brilliant place and superb service, highly recommended to all its a must!

Had tea here , amazing salad , may sound boring, but it's the best salad I've ever had when eating out . The croutons were absolutely amazing, lovely staff , beautiful pub 😊

Excellent service, great food, good atmosphere, what more do you need. Highly recommended.

The plough at Eaves is a perfect country pub ,it's very cozy and has a great atmosphere. We were given a very warm welcome, and the Sunday lunch was delicious, it was huge. The Yorkshire Puddings were perfect ,we all had roast beef and it was perfect. We were very full but managed to have a dessert, sticky toffee Pudding and creamy custard, and baked cheesecake. From start to finish it was the perfect dining experience, we will definitely return thankyou to all the staff at the Plough for making our Sunday so special. Five stars ☆ all the way .

Really helpful and pleasant staff. Food was awesome and for a Friday night wait was perfectly acceptable.

Lovely fish Friday meal for 2, excellent value. Nice friendly staff

First visit for 30 years. Wont be that long before going back. Easy to get to, feels like a traditional country pub with views across fields and plenty of outside seating. The staff were friendly and chatty, the food was good and everyone in our party said they enjoyed it

The Plough is in a fabulous countryside setting. It has a huge car park and beer garden. The inside is a traditional country pub and is both elegant and stylish. The real ales were very good although a little pricey. We didn’t have anything to eat although what we saw of the dishes they looked generous portions. The Plough is definitely worth a visit and I’d suggest combining it with a trip to Honeywell’s Farm shop just down the road to buy your locally sourced meat, cheese, vegetables etc. We will definitely be visiting The Plough again very soon for dinner and drinks.

Excellent food. Good beer and nice staff, what a little gem, typical great country pub.

Nice place, great pub food, slowly nice ambience.

Lovely pub great food great value

Beautiful place with friendly staff, but the service was very slow. They also need to come up with a way of supplying the outside tables with all the cutlery and condiments.

Came here today with my Mum. My Mum had salmon, I had salt and pepper chicken starter and steak for mains. We were told this was the first time the apprentice chef had cooked salmon which is unbelievable as it was perfect, all the food was perfect. It’s great to see this place to the standard it used to be so well done to all concerned 👍🏻

Really great with excellent food and good prices.

Lovely village pub and restaurant, excellent service and lots of drinks to tempt even the most tea total of clients. Fabulous food with loads of flavour. Massive selection of food to choose from with certain days having a special menu. Gent's toilet is very clean and presentable. Huge car park to the rear and some parking in front.

What a fantastic pub, The food is superb and the staff are friendly with a wide choice of drinks. Sat outside in the sun and watched an amazing sunset

Went 7/6/23. Fish & chip night, really excellent food very generous portions, excellent service & excellent value!

Traditional country pub, friendly staff, great food at sensible prices. Highly recommend the Sunday lunch !

Lovely food, great value, staff extremely friendly as Nd helpful. Highly recommended

The Plough is lovley and we had a lovely birthday meal at the Plough. The meals were huge but didn't allow room for starters and sweets. However, the House Music banging out of the kitchen was deafening to diners. There were 3 tables of people eating and they were all grumbling about the music. Twice the staff went in to ask the chef to turn it down which he did for 2 minutes then whacked it back on. I am not old fashioned and love my music on loud but not to the detriment of others. None of us could hear ourselves speak, which doesn't bode for a nice gathering. When you go for a meal with friends you expect to be able to chat and hear their replies. IF we try here again we will ask for a table the furthest away from the kitchen. Just ridiculous and could seriously lose you some business.

Enjoyed our food, waiters were great, but think the chef was having a party in the kitchen, very loud music, couldn't talk to each other over it, gave me a headache

Great country pub with amazing food.

Cosy and friendly atmosphere with a great choice of good quality food and drinks. Can fully recommend the Lancashire hotpot, cottage pie, and steak sandwich. Huge amount of parking round the back of the pub. Bottles of wine start at £20. Overall, great value for money.

Just been for my second visit. Today we had the Sunday Lunch.. absolutely amazing. Food delicious and staff are wonderful. Will definitely be back again.

Nice staff lovely warm friendly people food is very good get plenty of it 👍

Just got home from being in the plough at eaves today. We ordered the steak and ale pie and the mixed grill and I have to say that's the nicest food we have had in along time! Lovely service, nice staff, amazing food, amazing atmosphere. It was just as nice as I remember it years ago. Keep up the good work and thanks. We will see you again very soon ❤️

Spotted on Google maps, so thought we'd try it out. What a hidden gem!! Great atmosphere and friendly staff, locals. We didn't eat but the meals going past earnt a 4 star. We'll try the food next time, as we'll definitely be back....maybe for a stopover in campervan

The food is great nice locale beer and klimat is very nice

My family and I came on Friday for lunch and had a fantastic experience start to finish. The chap who served us was so friendly and personable. He brought over iced water for my dog as well as a little cup of dog treats, so it's safe to say he had me sold within the first five minutes! Then the meal we went on to have was delicious and the service was attentive. My dad was so impressed he left a positive review as soon as he got home. Thanks very much team. We'll definitely be back again soon.

Had a lovely lunch here, good choice on the menu and great food. Nice cosy atmosphere with log fire and Country pub decor.

Called in at lunchtime on the off-chance and enjoyed our visit. Reasonable prices, great menu. Decent ale selection too. Was quiet which is how we like it these days. Lovely outdoor smell of a real fire burning inside which is just the ticket on a nippy day. Great friendly service and we'll defently be calling again. A little bit in the sticks and out of the way but once you've got your eye in, no issues. There's a building site just a short distance away so be careful on that country lane! We nearly came a cropper to a lorry who clearly thought height is might!

Fantastic Sunday lunch and a good choice of alternative for those not wanting traditional, very friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely country pub / good food worth a visit

Just got back from this outstanding pub. Had a delicious mixed grill that I am about to sleep off. The staff made us feel really welcome and I am looking forward to going back. The landlady also had a Burmese puppy that I absolutely fell in love with. Great place!

Went for Sunday lunch, plentiful and lovely bubbly staff

Utterly amazing Sunday roasts served by friendly staff. Can’t recommend highly enough

Amazing Sunday roast! Generous portions and delicious food. Thoroughly recommend. Lovely staff too. Will definitely be back.

Great little pub in a rural setting

The star rating says it all. Will never be returning.

My son took me out for a pre-booked meal at 4pm today to celebrate my 84th birthday. I was totally disappointed. Although the pub was empty we were asked to sit at a table near to the door and next to a family with 2 small children. (I have no problem at all with the children having several children and grandchildren of my own. The table was sticky! We were told we would have to wait a while as the chef was still on his way! The food wasn't good at all and I left half of my meal, as did my son. It spoilt my birthday and we will not be recommending or returning again. Extreme disappointing.

We’re up here for the week from the sunny Sussex coast and had an absolutely brilliant meal. Highly recommend the Surf n Turf and the Steak and Ale pie. The Sticky Toffee Pudding is to die for. Thank you for a delicious fill.

Having not been for a while due to it having been shut again and then my being away with work, it was lovely to come back and find the Plough in what appears now to be safe hands. Staff are friendly, the beer is well kept Thwaites, and it seems they are putting effort into improving food quality. Keep going - we will be back to try more beer and probably food next time!

Lovely atmosphere with a log fire. Able to sit inside with our little dog for a nice meal

Great experience today! Abby was amazing! Great service with a smile! Food was great quality!! Enzo the dog made it feel homely and lovely to meet such a lovely pup!!

Food was excellent & drinks & the staff very helpful 👌

Lovely pub. Quiet and beautiful surroundings. The food is well cooked, nice portions. Proper Lancashire food. And a few dishes from farther afield. Staff are friendly and very helpful. The evening I went there were dancers outside later. Dog friendly.

Best Sunday dinner 🍽️ iv had for ages!

Oldest pub in Lancashire. Lovely location. Great food. Highly recommended.

Called in for a late lunch and the food didn't dissappint. Great food and service.

Had the Friday fish and chip deal two for one and I have to say it was delicious and the small jug of gravy and curry sauce was a fantastic touch, staff and service were excellent thankyou .

Wish this place had a website, it could really do with showing itself off. It has a fantastic menu and the food is fantastic, the service was brilliant but i can only imagine it was because it wasn't busy. I would certainly recommend visiting and eating here.

Called in mid afternoon and found staff busy in function room. Pub was empty but staff said food being served and told us to wait in bar. Ignored for 5 minutes so left. We will not be back.

Delicious food, great atmosphere. Very good, helpful and accommodating staff (especially Louis)

Great food and service. Glad you’re back!

Great pub with fantastic food - proper hidden gem

We visited the Plough at Eaves for our Anniversary and had a wonderful meal. The food was delicious and locally sourced. The waiting on and bar staff were lovely and made us feel very welcome and the owner greeted us and chatted which was a lovely touch. We would definitely recommend visiting this place which has recently reopened. It’s a real gem 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 💫

A lovely place to sit outside and enjoy the countryside, and peace and quiet. Nicely refurbished inside too, and great beer. Recommended!

We went on Friday evening, and I never leave reviews, but I feel I need to this time. The food was so poorly presented, and the taste matched. I'm afraid it was just terrible! It's probably one of the worst meals my husband and I have had in a very long time. Very poor quality food and taste...nothing good can be said about it!! With so many more options available to us, we won't be returning! So sad as we had high expectations. On a positive note, the waiting on staff were really lovely.

Staff were welcoming and really helpful food was excellent and the plates were hot which is how they should be would of had a dessert but was to full,next time.

Very nice country pub, with good food!

Good to see the old place open again, good food and friendly service. The pub hasn’t changed much thankfully

A lovely experience, highly recommend giving The Plough a go, we really could not fault any aspect, the salt and pepper wings, tempura prawns for starters were perfect, and a decent portion size... We only just had room to polish of the gammon and chips and Katsu curry. The staff were attentive but not overbearing and the new owner was overseeing all went well.... And it certainly did.... We will be back..... A lot!

Nice meal on Father's day. I'd recommend calling ahead if you made a reservation on short notice via the website as they didn't have ours even though I had a confirmation email. The meal was good, all the food was delicious. I was so surprised at how tender the Thai Crispy Beef Salad was, the beef just melted when you crunched through the light and crispy batter. I'd recommend not having the sweet chilli sauce drizzled on the plate it was the only thing that didn't taste nice (I'm fussy with sweet chilli 😂) My daughter ordered a pizza off the kids menu. It was huge she devoured it all and proclaimed it was the best pizza ever. Not much else to say really! I'd definitely go back it's much better than your average pub meal, but not quite 5 stars yet!

New owners done a really good job of brightening this lovely pub up and have got an excellent chef so please go and let’s keep it open for us all to enjoy-we live 2 miles from the pub and it’s our nearest, so glad it’s good Thanks

Great to see this fab pub re-open !! Top venue and looks fresh ... would recommend !!

The Plough has just reopened after a 10 month closure. It has been tastefully redecorated, providing a warm atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Especially when faced with a tills/payment system challenge when we tried to pay the bill. Food was very good, also good choice of wine and beers at competitive prices. All in all a good experience, we shall be returning.

Just reopened and really good now. We stopped by for a beer and nibbles and it was excellent. Well done!

Went on the day it reopened. The new decor grey & white destroys the character of the pub. The old worn out carpet is still in place. The only area that retains character is the chesterfield sofas in the corridor near the toilets, but who wants to sit there. This was my local for over 20 years, it is sad to see it now. I won't be going back.

My partner and I enjoyed our meal tonight. First time we have visited. Staff very pleasant and accommodating. Will recommend to our friends.

Not impressed but in a great location.

Avoid this place! The manager was extremely rude due to the fact that we arrived 10 minutes late. He was clearly in a foul mood and his attitude was a disgrace, especially in view of the fact that we had 3 children with us. We got up and left as we don't go out for a nice family meal to tolerate this kind of behaviour.

Excellent service and superb food in a lovely location

This is my grandmother's old pub from back in the sixties. It was fairly quiet when we went but there was still a bit of atmosphere there.

Quaing and friendly, nudevto sit outside on sunny day.

Went to visit my son and granddaughter recently who booked a table for Sunday lunch. My son had visited a couple of times previously with his partner for drinks and thought it would be nice to treat his mum and dad to lunch. The beef roast was quite nice and was looking forward to our desserts. Ordered our desserts, waited 15 mins and asked the waitress when they would be served, 2 secs she replied. Another 10 mins went by and still no desert and no communication from the staff. We decided we couldnt wait any longer and went to the bar to settle our bill. Whilst waiting to pay a man appeared and said i am the chef/owner busy preparing 12 meals to serve. I explained the situation politely and said we couldn't wait any longer. He then disappeared and came back with a slip of paper with our order and challenge me regarding the time we had been waiting. He was very rude, argumentative and offered no apology. There was clearly a lack of communication between him and his waiting on staff. I said have you ever heard of the saying the customer is always right, he replied and yelled back, not on this occasion. Won't be going there again, neither will my son or his partner. What started out to be a pleasant afternoon ended up ruining our day.
