The Plough Great Shelford in South Cambridgeshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Really lovely friendly pub, great covered seating areas outside with lovely ambient lighting good selection of beers etc available

Standard booze, live sports, great bar staff, sport daft locals. Everyone made to feel welcome. Still very good local.

Great beer, great staff, awesome pool tournament with friends.

Only there for a short time just had one drink ,it was fine , pub was quiet so difficult to really judge atmosphere but I have been there before on a busier time and atmosphere was good so I would recommend a possible visit

Nice warm welcome. Dog friendly. Small car park. Large covered beer garden

Great little pub. Friendly staff and good beers.

Classic English pub without any classic English pub food. Just American fast food, burgers, pizzas etc. sorry for the moan but do pubs not do ploughman’s lunches any more? Otherwise a decent pint and okay food.

Great beer great pool would recommend

Hi how is Eddie and sue going on it's been 40 years since I was there how is everyone doing. Happy new year to all.

We went in for a few drinks after a family meet up in the area. Friendly bar staff and regulars where also lovely and friendly. Would recommend even if your passing and need a quick drink. They also have an warm Outdoor tent with seating.

Nice boozer on outskirts of Cambridge

Nice local, always friendly with pool table, sports and a great undercover area with heaters

Locals pub, good range of beers etc. Good seating in the rear garden, lots undercover too. No sign of food that I could see, but I assume they do food. Quite a bit of colourful language on a Friday evening, but friendly enough.

No food served in bar/restaurant Mon - Wed but pizza and kebab van on street outside....not quite the same. Need to change their website. Pleasant bar.

Great pub nice atmosphere had one of my favourite beers on Timothy Taylor landlord

Friendly local pub. Liam is very friendly

Good little pub to have a drink in and a fabulous garden out the back on a summers evening

Lovely pub with quick service on a Saturday

Good food, good atmosphere, good staff well looked after well worth the vist

Great little cosy village pub with fantastic out door area

A good pub was close to shutting time but still serving drinks, a local style sports bar a fairly young customer base but all were well behaved and very polite

A reasonable pint for a reasonable price. I think the garden room will be fantastic once it is tidied up a bit.

Apparently, our Scottish money is worthless! I've used this pub on and off for 48 years. Although I've moved away and returned more than once during that time, I've always found time to pop in for a pint as I did earlier this evening to be told quite firmly that they do not accept Scottish money due to one bad experience with an Irish note in the past. I drove 10 1/2 hours to the village to stay with my mother for a week and was really looking forward to a pint or two (within easy walking distance from parents house btw!). In the last few years of my father's life, I took him for a game of dominoes and a couple of beers every Sunday lunchtime up until he passed away, so good memories. Those memories are now muddied due to an attitude that borders on the ridiculous. Sure, no legal requirement to take Scottish notes, but in the years I've travelled between there and here, NOT ONCE has my money been refused. So, bye bye Plough, I'll never darken your doorstep again! I’ll go and spend my ‘toy’ money elsewhere.

the plough is absolutely lit bartender allowed us to have takeaway food at our table you could say they’ve ploughed all the completion

Friendly obliging staff and clients. Liam is making a great job of having a village pub. Really nice evening tonight. Thank you.

Very nice , friendly staff. It has a good atmosphere and a lovely outdoor area for good weather. I would definitely go again when I'm in Cambridge. We hoped for a pub lunch ,sadly the kitchen is closed on Wednesday.

Great staff great atmospere carlsberg only 4£ whats not to like

If you are looking for sports TV and a pint, pool table and darts, decent outdoor space.

We popped in for lunch as on way to hospital, the meal was very tasty and great value for money. Really enjoyed the meal thank you 😊

Excellent pub, made us mackems welcome on a wet Friday night.

Drove past this pub and decided to stop for a quick beer. Got inside and asked for a pint of IPA, which I remember was always a good beer.The barman stated that they hadn’t served that for about six years when it was a Green King house. I was offered a Doom bar, which in fairness turned out to be a cracking pint. We found the pub to be warm and welcoming.

Great pub Cosy pub with friendly staff and great outdoor space. Very accommodating to the never ending darts match (thank you) will definitely return.

Great pub. Well kept, nice outside area. Worth a visit.

Great, friendly chef (Swansea City fan, ask him)

Really nice beer garden, decent selection of beers on tap, friendly staff

Great beer also very friendly staff

Nice pub with friendly atmosphere!

If you want excellent service, exceptionally polite and accommodating staff and out of this world gourmet burgers or home made pizza go to the Plough in Great Shelford. The inside is spotless and the outside has a very special "tent" complete with heaters, and so, so comfortable lounging seats, very chic and rustic. You will not be disappointed.

A really nice pub with a fantastic outdoor sitting area. That menu is good pub grub and they have visiting vans with selection of foods e. g. Vietnamese, Italian etc.

It the best place to eat and drink in Shelford plus he runs the plough only two left

Really friendly and welcoming staff. I would definitely recommend.

Had our first pizza tonight after getting a leaflet through the door (didn't realise the plough did pizza!) And... WOW. We both had four seasons and it was AMAZING. So delicious, wish I'd ordered extra! The saffron aioli was so yum too. The person who delivered the pizza was so lovely :-) definitely getting another soon !!

Lovely place with excellent pizza and lovely staff, would highly recommend their special dip with the pizza.

Thought we would try Pizza at the Plough for dinner tonight, having been tempted over the weeks. Really amazing food! We ordered: A large meat one- prosciutto, pepperoni and salami A medium veg one - butternut squash and sage A garlic and mozzarella pizza bread Two gelato’s for afters, which were salted caramel and dark chocolate. Would we return - yes. Super important to stay local and support our independent and small businesses at the awful time. 10/10.

The best pizza delivery we've had in a long time. Arrived lovely and hot and it was delicious. Thank you!

Take away pizza - great variety and authentic italian taste.

Fui a comer pizza, temprano en la noche, justo después de la reapertura. Muy buen ambiente en el jardín, excelente comida, cerveza y servicio. Las precauciones de Covid estaban en su lugar y parecían minuciosas. Muy recomendable.

Pizzas and sides were top notch thanks to the chefs who clearly cared about the food. Other staff were helpful and friendly plus good music

Fui allí el sábado por la noche para comer pizza, estaba fuera de este mundo, pan de ajo, la mejor avenida tenía ensalada de col casera, el servicio de fantac fue excelente, dos de nosotros pasamos una gran víspera, una gran relación calidad-precio volveremos pronto

Really great authentic pizzas! Watch pizza being cooked in pizza oven in garden. Mushroom starter, garlic mozzarella bread and chocolate mousse all really tasty. Definitely worth a visit.

Very good felt very safe we will be back again soon.A lovely friendly pub.

A lovely village pub with great beer & pizza and helpful friendly staff

Like a different pub following lockdown! They have a great new chef and creative menu, beautiful outdoor area and lovely atmosphere. Definitely try it out.

Fantastic atmosphere in the garden, delicious pizza and desserts, great wine. Very friendly and efficient staff. We can't wait to come back!

A medium sized cosey pub to suit a diverse range of drinkers. Pool table to one side well away from others who dont want pool games happening next to them. A choice of craft ales. I would have liked to see a dart board but not really the space available..

Friendly pub and a few good beers on offer. The visiting street foods that come here as independent vendors from time to time are a nice querky touch too.

Great beer. Live sport. Family and dog friendly.

Cheerful friendly people, good beer, footie on the telly. My idea of heaven!

Popped in for a drink Sunday Lunchtime There was no one in there other than one gentleman reading his newspaper No atmosphere whatsoever. The Garden was lovely. .with a Old Red Telephone Box Poll table also We didn't stay past the first drink

Pretty average. Needs to keep their prices down. (beer). Nothing special.

Popped in for the Football, nice village local made to feel welcome and well behaved dogs were welcome

Good selection of beers. Friendly service. Good Garden.

No food despite some "good food" signage, locals pub only I suspect. Did have a nice beer garden but only for drinking in this pub.

Decent quaint pub with some nice beers. Very chilled and would go again!

Legitimately got chased out of this place by the chef who was holding a carving knife. No thanks!

Still surviving as a hotel, restaurant and traditional pub. Food is good and the open fire is a draw.

Good local boozer with Sky sports.

Very nice Pub. Good feeling any time . Drinking or not is recommended. They have two big screen TV to watch those football matches you would like to follow. Also they have a pool table.

Friendly staff and good choice of beer.

very friendly premises especially towards children. Enjoyed nice afternoon playing pool and watching rugby. Staff very friendly and obliging Would definitely visit again

Saturday lunchtime visit to watch the football. Pub clean, pleasant bar staff, beer ok - Doombar and couple of Marstons ales. Nothing special but nothing wrong either.

Great atmosphere and great landlord.

Lovely staff, great atmosphere. Will definetly visit again!

Few rare mateys but generally alright

Friendly place by sports nice locals good ale

Ask for for a meal for one you won't be disappointed 👍👍

Good to watch rowing events in the summer, massive beer garden.

Friendly modern pub and friendly locals.

Amazing staff and the punters are great so so friendly

Pleasant staff ,clean pub good value

Had a good time..very cosy here.

Good ambience and a warm welcome.

Nice enough pub. Benefits from a donner kebab wagon parking outside at weekends! Has a pool table

Thought the staff were very polite at the bar and the locals at the plough. The beer was nice although they didn't do food

Great local village pub atmosphere in here

Sorry to Say and Heed. This Pub Is On The Local Police, Drug Watch List. Nice Friendly Atmosphere if a Tad Cliqicky.

Really nice place with a back garden and very friendly atmosphere, cheep too!

I got a coca cola and a beer and I only paid 5.10£! I couldn't believe it! Friendly staff, very good prices and lovely atmosphere. Really good for those who like a warm environment.

Some brilliant nights in here. A few customers gave good remarks to our drivers.

Fantastic pub! Run by a young land Lord who is friendly and polite. Pub is always clean and well looked after. Always find it comfortable to drink and the locals are friendly. Better than then the Square n Compass up the road. As landlord needs to be more cheerful....😊

Please note that this is now under new ownership. The previous owner was not well liked by most! Shame as he really updated the pub but we avoided the place and went to the somewhat dated but well run Square & Compass just down the road. Completely understand the previous post re grouchy previous landlord! Sounds like you had one of his better days... Now run by S&C manager - way way better and back to what it always should have been. Given it's the best looking / condition pub in the village I hope it can regain some of its custom.

I wanted to have a cafe with my family on Sunday and the bartender (supposedly the owner) would not serve us. He stated that he is selling the pub and does not have coffee.

We had an amazing Sunday lunch here today....lovely to hear so many other diners complimenting the food too. We were made very welcome by the landlord and landlady and the pub was clean and cosy...loved the real fire! Would recommend the plough to others and will definitely be back!
