Lovely country pub with great service. Food spot on and lovely quality. Nice walk up and easy uber back if you're staying at one of the airport hotels and wanted to support a local business like we did.

A good choice if you are overnight staying at an airport hotel. Food was ok and beer choice very good. Much cheaper than hotel bar!

Between flights I walked to the plough inn, set in a picturesque village, only took 15 mins, by the way trust Google maps to get you there, via industrial units, then little wooded path at the end to public roads. Had a fabulous fish and chips and a good pint of the black stuff. I will be back.

Traditional village pub with small bar, wooden beams, open fire place and lovely rear garden. Friendly staff and locals and a homely, cosy feel. Good selection of drinks, including a well-kept Timothy Taylor Landlord. Was going to bring a visiting colleague to eat here but the food didn’t look anything too special, so decided to go elsewhere. Would definitely return for drinks though.

8 of us came to have lunch here today for my husband's 60th Birthday. This is a proper pub. A lot of locals seem to use it, who we found very friendly. All staff that served us were really welcoming & efficient. Menu on offer today was a choice of 2 Sunday roasts & vegetarian option. All of which were nice. Dogs allowed. Can't fault it. Will return.

Nice pub and clean... However the food let it down massively. I ordered 'the Plough Burger" thinking it would be decent, instead i got a toasted bun, not butter, with a tiny burger in it with no salad or cheese in the burger, a bit of salad on the side and a few scraggy chips. Really disappointing. The service was ok, but when they asked if all was ok with my meal i new they where taking the mick. I'd go for a drink but avoid the food.

This Pup was taken over in December 2021, so the lady owner told me....Wow wow and wow again.... a must visit Pub. We were on our way to East Midlands Airport and thought we would have dinner. Looking on TripAdvisor we saw that the Plough Inn was close by. Sunday dinner was our choice. Roast beef and a Pork with crackling dinner were our choices. What a meal. Everything cooked to perfection. Vegetables just right a little crunch when eating, not the slop you get at a carvery. Beef and Pork lovely flavour, and the gravy was the finishing touch. Pudding Apricot crumble and custard awesome. You need to try this pub, service and staff are amazing. Well done The Plough.

Under new management since re-opening in December 2021, the Plough has been steadily building up its offerings. Today, they began serving all-day breakfasts on Saturday from 9.30am. We called in to re-fuel at the end of a morning bike ride. A brilliant breakfast for hungry cyclists! One Full English Breakfast, one Breakfast Cob, with fresh ground coffee. Quality ingredients (lovely thick bacon rashers), generous portions and warm, friendly service on a cold, foggy January morning. Highly recommended ♥

It's the first Sunday opening after lockdown and I'm so pleased Nic decided to open back up again. My parents moved to the village in Dec 2020 and this was the first time we could take them to their new local. We were just popping in for a drink, but the smell of the Sunday roast was too tempting! I ordered Beef and was plated up a mouthwatering and belly-filling portion. Great selection of veggies and the service was brilliant. We all felt covid safe as it was well organised and it wasn't too crowded. It's a good job the roast isn't served every day otherwise my Dad would be reserving a daily spot! We also had a treacle sponge pudding with custard, really tasty and value for money portion. It finished me off though!

I’ve visited this Inn in the past, and rated it a four, however my latest experience certainly superseded the previous visit. A lovely friendly lady, who I can only imagine was the owner, and a very enthusiastic waitress looked after us extremely well. A limited menu, but that can only be expected during these trying times, offered a nice selection of fayre. Whitebait and a burger( with stilton!) for me. My wife had the mushrooms, followed by the fish and chips, all cooked perfectly. Wine was also well presented, ice bucket with plenty of ice! All in all a lovely evening.

Booked last minute for a table of four. On arrival the pub had a nice atmosphere, ordering process wasn't explained though and we weren't given a menu. Service was non existent, food took roughly 45 minutes to arrive and was substandard when it did. Frozen chips, normal baps for burger buns and the steak was the worst I've ever experienced. Ordered it medium rare and it looked anemic and was barely edible, it was a terrible cut and was cooked very poorly to the point it had no taste whatsoever. Left with dirty plates in front of us for 20 minutes before we decided to pay up and leave, I'd have complained in person had there been someone waiting tables to raise this with at the time. £60 later, I would never return under the current management.

Good choice of beers on tap, nice staff and obviously somewhere the locals go to regularly. My advice: get out of your airport hotel and take a 3 minute car or taxi drive to go to the plough for your evening meal. You’ll save money and enjoy it too! Thank you Plough! We loved it.
