The Plough Inn in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Game for the footy, good screens, cracking service. Great food and well priced. Lovely, will definitely be returning soon.

Nice little pub good food reasonably priced. Ash behind the bar couldn't have been more helpful. There were some problems with the football on the telly but staff did their best and manged to fix it

Disgusting! 4 male customers of the plough running outside and beating one male up, for no reason. Putting him in hospital!!

Took my mum out for tea loved the service the food could not get a nicer couple lovely polite left kitchen open for us so we could order food will be back again and not to mention the 2 dogs absolutely ace really enjoyed the night

Amazing wonderful food the food was cooked spot on a lovely Sunday afternoon thank you Rachel and family xx

Excellent local. lovely food a great menu choice.very nice staff.love the place a proper community pub xx

Visited here a couple of weeks back as I fancied a stroll and a pint/food whilst out. I'm saddened that this visit was tarred by such bad service from the bar staff. One thing I dislike is when the bar staff don't take into consideration who is next in line to be served.... unfortunately if you're not a 'regular' you get ignored waiting at the bar whilst the bar staff proceed to pour drinks for them first because they know what they're drinking and take their money, whilst no words are ever spoken. If you're not a 'regular' and have to order the traditional verbal way....good luck. You'll be waiting a very long time. That's if you do ever get noticed/served!! Really disappointing as I have been coming here for years with my family or occasionally solo....this has really infuriated me to the point of not wanting to return. But let's face it....they won't care because I'm not a 'regular' 😒

Went with my mother for dinner the food was lovely chips were to die for service good and it was 2 courses for 8.95 definitely be going again

Sunday lunch yesterday 19th may Excellent food excellent staff.thank you.went with family.atmosphere is spot on we love the pub

Visited with my son and girlfriend and Bruno their Rottweiler. Excellent steak and ale pi, Great chips too. The younger ones had burgers to die for. Friendly and attentive staff. I would highly recommend it . Reasonably priced too

We came from London for a family funeral and someone recommended The Plough. An interesting pub with history which was rather empty with few diners but it was a Wednesday night. The pub was warm and welcoming and nicely decorated. We ordered quick easy meals as we were all very hungry. Scampi and chips twice and omelette and chips. It took some time for our meals to come but 2 plates of dark brown overcooked scamp and 3 portions of burnt bitter tasting chips finally came out of the kitchen. Pete and Carla, how did that get out of the kitchen?

Went for some Sunday dinner in the summer heat. The staff were very friendly making sure we were all good and checking on food etc. The portions of food were above average. The food was good ‘pub grub’. The only down side was the pub and toilets were dirty and it felt like it had had a big Saturday night. I ate gammon and the meat was thick so can’t complain

A stunning little pub in a lovely area. All staff are so welcoming. I came for Sunday Lunch and the polite, young man who served me was so warm and friendly which made me feel very welcome. Thank you so much. Lunch was good quality food as well. I will be coming here again.

Fantastic food, the hospitality second to none. Brilliant, this is a great place for food, good value for money and proper portions. Highly recommended worth a visit.

Eat here with friends about once a month so not really a regular but have always had a good meal and never left feeling hungry good menu and really good prices

Visit here regularly as we live locally usually for food and a few drinks. Staff are very pleasant and service...

Nice pub very friendly, great for a few pints after work. Does food too which is pretty tasty 😂. This pub has recently been refurbished as well so looks modern and fresh.

I was treated to a birthday meal by my sister this August.

The Plough Inn is a local village pub well worth the visit located in Bignall End.

Came here on Sunday my partner had a beef dinner and my daughter had a turkey dinner. Both looked lovely portion sizes very generous I decided to try something new and had the garlic and Stilton baked chicken it was gorgeous but I didn't expect anything less from our local. Fantastic as always guys thank you.

I went as part of a coach party of 25 to this on the way to a Wycombe game at Port Vale. Early signs looked promising, a menu with good choices at reasonable prices and the What Pub website said it did real cider

We (12 of us)visited here on high recommendation. We were booked in at 5 pm for sunday lunch. All be it the Sunday lunch was nice I was a bit put out that the veggie of our group only had veg and potatoes, same as everyone else and wasn't given an option to have a meat alternative even though we had to pay the same price. After our dinner we all wanted dessert but we're refused because the kitchen had closed. I think we should of been asked if we were planning on having dessert whilst ordering our main meal.

Popped in for the first time even though its really close Staff very friendly good choice of pub grub at a good price Will definitely visit again

Tenía un fantástico almuerzo, utilizando un cupón groupon. No me puedo quejar de nada. Recibimos una bienvenida amigable y muy rápido. La comida estaba bien caliente y fresco. Agradable ver una selección de verduras recién preparados [zanahorias, judías verdes y col] en vez de la montaña típicas de guisantes que hay en algunos pubs. Patatas fritas también estaban muy bien - no congeladas. Todos regados con una bonita chilena de Merlot. No podía soportar un postre.

Visitamos este pub recientemente. Primero la comida era excelente relación calidad-precio y servido caliente. En segundo lugar, el pub necesita una decoración más importantes. Las paredes están desaliñados y necesitan pintura con urgencia. Algunos de los muebles son viejos y cansados con la cobertura gastado en shine mugrienta. No hay excusa para esto. El personal es muy agradable. Una pena, sería decepcionado por el mero hecho de unas pocas libras la pena de pintura y alfombra mejorarse. Este pub no deben dejar que una vieja boozer diapositiva en.

Me and my family love it here the foods lovely the staff are friendly and it's a 2 minute walk from our house it does get busy and you can sometimes struggle for a table and their can be a bit of a wait for food but I think that's just a testament to how fab it is here home cooked style food and friendly faces what more could you ask for. I'd definitely recommend going in for a Sunday dinner they're really good (even better than my mums) would highly recommend to everybody

We have visited here a few times and cannot fault the service! Please book to avoid disappointment as it's always really popular but this doesn't ruin the country pub feel! Staff make you feel welcome and the environment is relaxing. The food they offer is always to a high standard especially the cheddar and bacon mash!

Excellent food, love the home made pies, chips and fresh veg. What a treat. Great atmosphere with friendly staff and great service. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

It's nice to visit a pub where, as an outsider you are treated like a local and regular. From the friendly welcome behind the bar to the excellent service from the kitchen, nothing was too much trouble. We both decided to try the 'Ultimate Burger' from their regular menu. Service was quick and there was a plate full of food! The half pound burger is topped with cheese, bacon and an egg. Served with wedges (chips are also available) and a ramekin of homemade coleslaw, it certainly filled us up. If there was any criticism, the wedges were over oily and the bun a little on the soft side to hold all that gooey loveliness of the burger and its topping making it tricky to get hold of. Perhaps a brioche roll might have been more substantial, but I'm being picky. Sticky toffee pudding and ice cream topped off the night perfectly. Added to a comprehensive selection of local real ales and lots of nookie places to sit, alongside various daily offers makes The Plough somewhere we'd definitely come back to in the future.

Visited for a Friday lunch. Food was great, hot, fresh. Place was clean, staff were very friendly. This is the third visit I have made to this place and would definitely visit again

The Plough is one of the friendliest pubs and eating houses I have been to. It is situated in a small Staffordshire village near Stoke on Trent. On entering, you are immediately impressed with the warm, welcoming and clean surroundings that greet you when one arrives. An excellent choice of real ales lagers and wines are available but the real pièce de résistance is the excellent food provided by the owner and her partner which is truly "Home Made" They are famed for their selection of home made pies of various types ....about six on the menu and the "Special" pie of the day when we visited was bacon,egg and sausage pie.....interesting...:) My wife and I had the fish pie which was delicious...White fish, shrimps, smoked haddock all in a creamy sauce and mashed potatoes...Home made chips and a large boat of gravy for each customer. Well cooked vegetables and all piping hot and a generous portion. I am a committed "Remainder" to their patronage! I suggested a lamb and mint pie to the owner which was received with enthusiasm so we may see that in future... don't miss this Gem

Quite possibly the nicest Sunday dinner I have ever had. Great service, lovely pub and reasonable prices too. Winner!

Went for a GrouponGreat choice of homemade pies and a choice of beer or wineFriendly pub and good food

Fantastic pub in Bignallend great new look friendly staff and patrons all welcome would recommend to anyone nice selection of beers etc. Thanks to the staff and good with families not the biggest of pubs but the great atmosphere more than compensates for the pub size.

Recently the plough has had a lot of money, time and skill spent on it and if you knew the old pub you would be amazed.We recently picked up their Groupon meal deal where 4 of us could eat from their pie menu with a pint of beer or glass of wine for £23 for 4 people.The pie menu has around 7 or 8 different home made pies and vegetables with great chips we actually purchased a desert after the main mealThe whole meal was too much for me as I don't eat big portions now, but really nice food, The pub has a reputation for good beer so that and the wine the ladies chose was very pleasant,We will be going again paying full price as the menu is well priced, Paper clothes on the table would be welcome,

Had Sunday lunch today,went on looking at other recomendations.beef very dry,veg average but it was just okay,then a large group came in and one of the group started to change a baby's nappy and wipe his bum on table next to us.why not use the toilet!!!this put us all off our sweets and we left.also their were dogs with people eating,we have a dog and yes we take into pubs but not in an eating area.definately very dissapointed and will not be going again

What a change to go to a place where they trust you to pay rather than take your card! I went with my family early Sunday evening needing to eat and having my dog with me. When we asked if this was OK the staff were very helpful and found us a dag friendly table without fuss. The food was very good value for money - the only thing which we would give a negative mark for was that there wasn't a choice of roast meat on the menu - but as this was almost at the time when they stopped serving it this wasn't surprising - note, turn up earlier. I feel that this will become a regular haunt when I visit my daughter in Newcastle

I've eaten at the plough a few times now, i can recommend the steak, hunters chicken, chicken skewers, Sunday lunch and the pies. All is home made, very fresh, local produce, generous portions but not over facing and very tasty. The pub is great value on food and drinks and also has the plenty of offers too. Good real ale too. Always a nice atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming, will definitely be dining there again soon.

we have visited here several times with family and also friends. food has always been lovely.all quality generous sized portions.the home made chips are simply lovely,and recommended. there is a good selection of pies to taste and they all look appetising. having tried selections from light snacks to a full meal whatever you choose you will not be disappointed. would we return.yes-of course.keep up the great food!!

Went on spur of the moment with brother in law just arrived from Italy. Had great lunch bro said best steak and ale pie he'd had.

Always lovely if it's for a quick pint, a few pints shell we say! The food is fantastic, big portions and the best chips around.

We've been to The Plough a couple of times now and each time the food has been excellent. The choice of home made pies is extensive and they are to die for. This is a great pub with some lovely walks around it and the food is a must to satisfy your hunger afterwards.

Traditional village pub serving meals and real ales. Good value and good company, only downside, parking can be difficult.

Grosser, traditioneller Pub mit tollem Tresenbereich und eigenem Restaurantbetrieb. Freundliche, zuvorkommende Bedienung. Als Special bietet man zahlreiche wählbare Gerichte für zwei Personen zum Komplettpreis von 10 Pfund an. Riesiger Parkplatz vor dem Haus. Bier und Whiskey waren super, Preise sehr moderat.

I have visited the Plough on a couple of occasions and I would just like to say what a fantastic job the new Landlord and Landlady are doing. There is such a friendly, laid-back atmosphere and I really enjoy feeling like I am part of the local community when I am in there. The meals are home-cooked and reasonably priced, and nearly every item on the menu has a vegetarian alternative... far better then the usual cheese pie! The best thing about this pub is that it is 100% family friendly and dog friendly. I love taking my dog for a walk around the village and then stopping off for a cheeky pint. I also enjoy our family outings where myself, wife, two young children and one excitable dog get to spend the day watching football, playing board games and having a bite to eat. It is very rare to find a pub which loves dogs as much as you do. It is also very rare to find a pub where all the staff take the time to talk to your children and make them feel comfortable. All and all a once terrible pub has really been turned around and the Plough is now back to how it once was.

We often walk along the Station Walk way & stop of at this establishment for a welcome drink. Not eaten here but the meals look good & substantial. Staff okay, what we really did not like were the two smelly dogs hanging around the bar area ! ....

My friends and I regularly visit The Plough.It caters for all ages of people.Drinks and food are not over priced.There's good entertainment evenings.My experience of the staff is very positive, they're chatty and pleasant.I'd recommend The Plough.

Just called in for a little snack. I must say food was superb had pate starter , homemade I must add and very tasty. And my husband had garlic mushroom which were delicious . Must call in again with all the family for a meal. Very friendly local. A must. Will be back

Tried this place a couple of times at lunch. Not had the meals as yet but the beer / lager was in good form and acording to the lads i was with the real ale was on form.. Nice friendly pub. Nice outside areas as well

A good meal, inexpensive, good service, especially as we were a big group on a busy night, I would go back again.

As a regular I enjoy taking my family for meals & having a catch up with friends. Lovely refurbished terrace & fresh local menu xWinner

After reading the previous review I felt I should comment on my recent and regular visits to the Plough, particularly on a Thursday evening for the quiz night..This is a very welcoming family pub serving home cooked food by some lovely staff who cannot do enough to make you welcome.

Lovely welcoming pub that has just been refurbished, varied menu of home cooked food at reasonable prices
