The Plough Inn in Shropshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great host Local welcoming local pub Allows dogs Lovely bar Highly recommended Authentic feel Will be back

Rosemary and Chris who run The Plough Inn are excellent hosts. They looked after us superbly and provided a sumptuous Sunday lunch. It was hand cooked from fresh ingredients, with all the trimmings. The pub is full of quirky nicnacs and interesting artefacts to make it well worth a visit for a friendly drink. Thank you for making our day.

Only two word Absolutely Amazing!! Would highly recommend!!! Would definitely come back it is well worth a try!!

We had a beautiful home made meal cooked from fresh. It’s a lovely old quirky pub. Very friendly. It’s a little gem

My wife and I had the pleasure of going to the Plough for Friday fish and for Sunday lunch. The food is absolutely lovely, the Sunday lunch is one of the best We’ve ever had. Chris and Rosemary are fabulous hosts. They made our weekend away very special.

Proper log fires. Dogs welcome. Delicious local food with a welcomed twist. Lovely, friendly owners. I would definitely recommend without a doubt. Thank you for your hospitality our Sunday dinner was delightfully memorable.

We came to the area for the weekend, our 1st night we just wanted a quiet drink and something good to eat, the plough was the nearest inn, it was quiet in there but the owners were very hospitable, we ordered the fish and chips and it is all cooked fresh, nothing out of a packet, and I must say it was absolutely lovely, the best we have ever tasted, it was presented lovely , the fish batter is Devine lovely and light and crisp, the fish lovely and flaky, the peas done with fresh mint, tartar sauce , lemon, coleslaw,and lovely seasoned home cooked chips, yum yum every mouthful.the owners were friendly and Very kind people. Would definitely go again to try other delights on offer.

Stopped for a drink after a day of walking in the surrounding area. Very welcoming, good beer and great pub ambiance. Definitely recommended and will be back when I'm next in the area.

We called in to this lovely, homely pub for lunch, not having any idea what to expect. The owners were welcoming and friendly. We each ordered a Sunday roast and were told everything was cooked fresh. This was so very true & such delicious food; so many different tastes and unique blends, including spicy red cabbage which had apple as an interesting, tasty addition. The gravy was simply some of the best I have ever tasted. Nothing was too much trouble and we will definitely be back & recommending a visit to friends and family.

Came in here with family the night before my wedding. Never felt so unwelcome and a burden! Promptly left when the owner was very rude to my sister when trying to order food. The owner complained that we didn't book beforehand which as far I'm concerned was impossible.I tried ringing the week before and the day before I unfortunately entered this establishment to book a table, however there was no reply or they were shut. The "pub" was empty when we arrived (on a Friday evening) with as much atmosphere as a hospital morgue...... I did look at (negative) reviews for this so called pub but I thought you know what I want to support a local business so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt! How wrong I was!!! . Do not visit the plough!

Stopped for lunch here and had a wonderful time. The food was beautiful! (highly recommend the bangers and mash) Lovely, down to earth owners, Chris and Rosemary. Will be visiting again!

We were visiting the area on Saturday the 7th of September and stopped in at the Plough for tea. What an amazing evening. The food was excellent, Chris and Rosemary couldn’t have made us feel more welcome, truly genuine, lovely people. We stopped in for tea and ending up staying all evening. Fantastic place to eat with great hosts and a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended ignore any negative reviews and I guarantee you will not be disappointed with the Plough Five star service .... hope to return in the future.

Lovely cosy pub with lots of character, particularly liked the colour of the walls! Very friendly owners - nothing too much trouble. We had delicious food, I had the stir fry, one of my friends had the curry and the other a chicken sandwich, we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We were persuaded to have a plate of chocolate treats and wow they were amazing, so much too!! Had to take it home in a doggy bag. Very dog friendly and the dog that was with us felt very relaxed.

Came in here with family the night before my wedding. Never felt so unwelcome and a burden! Promptly left when the owner was very rude to my sister when trying to order food.

Visited just as the pub was closing but the owners were great, and served drinks and chatted to us outside. The pub looked lovely and we would love to return one day to sample the food. Everyone has off days (even landlords) and the 2 reviews before me seem odd as there are SO many 5 star excellent ones. Hope to see you both again one day 😎

One of the best roasts I’ve ever had, friendly staff and good ales. I am definitely coming back again.

Faulty towers... Let me tell a story... a very true one... I promise it’s not made up, although I think I could make a mint from giving this to a tv channel! I’m definitely not a writer and I got rather bored by the end! So it was the night before my sisters wedding. We’d spent the day preparing the tipi venue at ‘Brooke Cottage.’ We were all staying in cottages/luxury yurts etc... no camping for us thanks! (As the owners of the Plough made out.... sorry there may be rather a few brackets used in my story.) So we decided we deserved a treat at the local pub. ‘Fishy Friday’ it said outside.... great I thought, that will keep my mum happy. So we opened the door and peered inside. Was it open? Had they had a power cut? Who was brave enough to go inside? It was eerily empty. I pushed my 11 month baby inside, followed by about 10 others. We found a long table along the middle, eventually in the dimly lit room (no one else was here... although the owner said otherwise.) A few minutes later another family walked in that we knew, but we didn’t arrive all at once. From the bar there was a cackle... “who’s in charge here?” I thought well no ones in charge... but I guess I’ll take one for the team! So I nervously walked up to the bar and was straight away asked a series of questions. “How many are there?” I replied “ errrr I dunno, but my little group is 4.” That wasn’t good enough... I had to count. So I panicked and guessed “errrr maybe 17,18,19.” I then politely asked if I could see a menu (I was called rude by the owners in a previous post.) “No menu!!” Was croaked at me. “FISH only.” “Oh,” I replied, “ummm do you have a children’s menu?” “FISH!” “Do you have any thing for vegetarians/vegans?” “FISH!” (You get the idea.) So I returned to my friends to tell them. “Well how are you going to pay?” she bellowed at me. “Well I’m going to pay by card” I said. “You’re paying for everyone on a tab?”she snapped. “Errr no, I’m just paying for my group” I replied. “Well how are they paying?” she snapped again. “Err I don’t know, I’m sorry you’ll have to ask them.” (I could hear muttering behind me.... as people had listened to the convo.) Oh and the room was silent before (no idea where these badly behaved kids were.) So I returned to my table and deliberated our options.... I had an 11 month old baby who needed her bed soon. I personally didn’t like fish much, but I knew it would keep my mum happy. A number of people decided to leave for very valid reasons.... vegans/fish allergy/or purely didn’t like fish! Fair enough! (Oh and they went off to a very nice restaurant in Church Stretton.. which I’m sure someone will recommend later.) Now in an earlier post the owner said that the people who stayed were ‘very nice people.’..... thanks that was me! :) (However the owner made reference to ‘screaming children’... well mate the children stayed as they were desperate and they certainly were not screaming...we were ‘very nice’ remember! Sorry going off on a rant..... but please don’t insult my child when she did nothing wrong!) So I went up to the bar and was told I had to create a tab for my order, even though I didn’t want one.. I ordered 3 drinks and 3 ‘fish’ meals.... still no idea what it was mind! I was told VERY firmly in a croaky voice that they weren’t expecting us, it was Friday evening, she was on her own in the bar. Ok that’s fine... I understand. Her next sentence still makes me feel sick! She handed me my Pepsi, I took a swig and she said “ I’ve been in bed all day, only just got up... I’ve got broncitious and shouldn’t be here.” Right thanks love.... my sisters getting married tomorrow and you’ve just served me my drink... cheers! Anyway the other group ordered their food. The room was still really gloomy as well. Bloody lucky they didn’t have a menu... we wouldn’t have been able to read it! In hind site it was probably dark to hide the fact there were Brexit posters everywhere.. something I admit I totally missed! So we sat at our table (with ‘our accompanying paraphernalia’ whatever that was... I had a buggy but that was it!) And this huge black thing straight out of Harry Potter or something appears. This thing was a dog called ‘Barnaby’ I think. Now I love dogs, but he got in everyone’s way and no one seemed to do anything. Mrs owner spent the rest of the time coming over to us basically slagging of the campsite/Brooke cottage... I’m not going to repeat the stories but she’s flipping bonkers. Over an hour later the food finally arrived!! Yay! Now this is one good thing about this place. The food was actually lovely (I don’t like fish, so this is a compliment!) Mr man owner, you have a real talent in the kitchen. Your wife on the other hand is barmy! Sooo my stories not done. I wanted to go home, my baby was tired. So I went to pay.. Well I’m not going to lie I can’t remember the price. But the bill was bloody huge! No wonder there was no menu... I would have left! But whatever, I got my card out to pay.. put it in the card reader. ‘Declined.’ “Your card doesn’t work, you’ve not payed !” she sneered. So I apologised and pulled out another. The same thing happened. “How are you going to pay?” she sneered again. Luckily I had money in my purse for my sisters wedding bar, so I used that. We then quickly left... our ordeal was over. However the other group we were there with, left a bit later. And I only heard about this the next day. Exactly the same thing happened to them with their cards. My sisters mother in law was seen sprinting down the county roads back to her accommodation to find money. So basically the whole tab thing makes sense! They make you set up a tab as the card machine doesn’t work/no connection. Then you have a hefty bill at the end to settle,rather than giving up or leaving when your card won’t work at the start! I’m sure more things happened, that I can’t remember/I’ve chosen to forget. But Basically don’t bother with this place. Foods great. But the experience.... TERRIBLE!

Had a great walk then passed The Plough inn for an impromptu pint. We asked if they did sandwiches and Chris kindly offered to make some up for us and a vegetarian dish. The beef sandwiches, homemade coleslaw etc etc were delicious! Will definitely be returning on a Friday or Saturday evening. Great friendly service and fantastic food, surrounding and dog friendly . Thanks both for a great lunch.

Friends and I enjoyed some fantastic food in this wonderful pub, after the chef kindly accommodated us with some delicious sandwiches after first being told the kitchen was closed. Delicious food and flavours, all home-cooked. Dog friendly and a lovely setting. We will be back!

We popped into The Plough for a drink while on a country walk and it didn’t disappoint.

After a small walk we stumbled upon this great pub. We got there just early afternoon and enjoyed a good few hours drinking at the bar listening to Big Chris and enjoying his banter. He was very welcoming and felt like a home from home. Came back the next day for a superb lunch... certainly defeated us with the size of the portions, didn’t even need to eat tea that day! Hopefully they’ll still be there when we next come back for our next camping trip! Thanks once again.

Went for dinner and had a wonderful meal. Everything is homemade and cooked from scratch. We had a delicious Pasta dish made with spinach and cheese. The best we have ever had. Served with garlic bread. Rosemary and Chris made us very welcome and we hope to go back again soon.

We visited The Plough in on a Friday evening and had their speciality Fish and Chips with their wonderful coleslaw. The pub was quieter than it ought to have been. The food and beer and hospitality is as good as any pub in the area. We were made very welcome as was our dog.

Spent three evenings here while staying locally on holiday. Friendly owners who made us feel very welcome on every visit. Food was fantastic- big portions and a good variety to choose from.

Rude red faced landlord shouting We’re closed and sick of people asking for directions,not a great way to speak to potential customer Avoid

Just called in on the way past as it looked good from the exterior. Wasn’t disappointed the food was excellent and the service very good. My wife who normally doesn’t eat red meat said it was outstanding.

From other reviews its clear that many people have had a good experience of the service at the Plough. However for this pair of pensioners, back-packing from Much Wenlock to Church Stretton on a very warm July afternoon, that was not the case. Passing the pub and in need of an urgent top up of our water bottle, we noticed that the place was closed. But as there was a couple in the car park watering plants, I thought this would be an opportunity for a refill with minimum inconvenience. It turned out that they were none too pleased to see us and water would not be forthcoming without a donation from us to charity. I know they have a business to run, that’s their prerogative and nothing wrong with the idea in principle, but come on people, lighten up a bit, work on your PR and I’m afraid it’s ‘no points’ for service with a smile this time. I’m pleased to say that after that encounter another villager proved to be far more helpful!

Was recommended by the B&B; owner, although it was fish and chip night the chef happily made a fish pie for us instead, all homemade from scratch, lovely big portions too, loved the homemade coleslaw too.

We called here on-spec for a light meal and weren’t disappointed! The quality of the freshly (home cooked to order) food was very good, and the portions were HUGE! We admired the 100-year-old baby grand piano in the bar, which my daughter was invited to play. It was quiet, dog-friendly and welcoming, with Rosemary (the landlady) taking the time to chat with us and ensure we were happy with everything, which we were. Make sure you’re hungry if you stop here to eat!

Spent an enjoyable evening and had a delicious meal at this country pub. The very friendly owners made us welcome and the meal we had was super. The menu would suit most tastes and the food is really enjoyable. Large portions too!

The food was delicious - well above normal pub standard; freshly prepared and attractively presented. Phil enjoyed the red cabbage served with the lamb and the batter on my fish was perfect. Very good beer too, and as other reviewers have commented interesting eclectic decor.

Stopped at the Plough Inn for lunch, what a nice place, very welcoming and cosy. Dog friendly and loads of places to sit, inside or out. Beer was great and sandwiches were excellent value with crisps and chips. When on our travels again we will stop lunch again.

Currently at the plough inn, it’s such a gem! The service is amazing, nice chilled environment, looks so cosy in doors. I didn’t have much to eat apart from chips, but these chips!!! 5 stars as far as chips go! Will definitely come again and pass on the place to family and friends!

Just noticed this place as we were driving down a little country road in Shropshire and stopped in for a bite to eat on a whim that ended up in a full blown meal.

Another great repast at The Plough, which is our usual watering hole when visiting friends in the area. Yet again we were not disappointed. We had a lovely Sunday lunch, the lamb shanks and fish pies were to die for, totally exquisite. I have probably said it before when we have eaten here, but none of us have ever eaten better, anywhere!

Stopped for food, to be welcomed in to a lovely pub. The owners are very friendly the pub has great character. Food was home prepared, very tasty and generous in portion. Will definitely revisit again.

I reviewed The Plough about 18 months ago as a result of such favourable impression gained on that visit. Since then my wife and I have made more visits sometimes with other family members. Without exception, everything to do with the experiences has been thoroughly rewarding and enjoyable. The food is always carefully prepared with high quality ingredients and served in a friendly and efficient way and the beer is always kept in top quality condition. We visited again last weekend and can confirm that the same high standards still apply. We have noticed how the owners take time to talk to all other customers where possible and are courtesly responsive to their needs.

While visiting the area we were lucky enough to be around on one of the few occassions the pub is now open. Delicious fish - crispy batter and succulent fish. Great chips and minted mushy peas and home made coleslaw. Excellent. Warm welcome. Check openning times and go if you can.

Visited yesterday (Friday) early evening, intending to just have a beer or two, then head back to our motorhome parked up at a site nearby for dinner.

My partner, young nieces and I called in for a drink and ended up staying all afternoon! We had the most lovely reception from the landlady and landlord; they were friendly, chatty and made us feel so welcome. They serve a great selection of drinks and were not overpriced like some country pubs we've been to. We sat in sun to take our drinks and then moved to the dining area which is beautifully decorated. We ventured into the bar and snug area which were also tastefully decorated and had a nice homely feel. It was a shame we had to get our nieces home as we would have loved to have dined to. We're really looking forward to visiting The Plough again, next time we'll definitely be having food. Would highly recommend!

Came across this venue by complete accident and hilarious driving via Church Stretton. Called in and had a drink and a sandwich with my other half. Beer was fantastic and food was delicious. Good service with friendly owners and lovely dogs! Quirky little pub that is well worth a visit!!

Traditional pub atmosphere with snug bar (where I sat) and other comfortable looking rooms for diners. Very well kept beer and a superb local cider (in fact a couple next to me had travelled 30 miles just for the cider!). Very dog friendly. I did not have the food but my neighbours seemed very satisfied. Pubs like this are to be sought out.

After a beautiful walk at Wenlock Edge me and my partner decided to have a drink at The Plough Inn. Rosemary and Chris (the owners) were very warm and accommodating people. It was a pleasure to meet them. I strongly recommend the Robinsons Cider.

After a whole day out we were looking for somewhere to relax and eat. Being the only pub in the area we were keen to get in and refuel etc. However the welcome was awful, when asking questions like "is there a long wait for food?" she said it will be as long as it needs to be. All replies were one word answers with a large dose of attitude. We decided to settle with a 2 bags of crisps and 5 cokes....which came to £30!?! Which we thought was expensive.

A group of us were cycling from Ironbridge to Church Stretton when we pulled over at the Plough Inn for some much needed refreshments. The sign out the front saying ‘orgasmic food served here’ sold us the dream, however little did we know it would be a sign of the bizarre encounter that would unfold....

Called in today and what a surprise wonderful atmosphere and we don't mind waiting for the meals when they are this good. Thank you rosemary @chris hope to see you again. Regards Hazel and Barrie.

Lush food! Awesome little place, lovely and very helpful owners :-) awesome decor! Lots of random bits and bobs! The shipping maps were my favourite! Would definitely visit again!

Chris and rosemary massive thumbs up to you both. Chris this was the best food we have ever had, myself Tim and the children have all had a lovely afternoon with you both. Your chips so unique and wonderfully tasty, the chilli very tasty hot. The kids lasagne cooked to request was amazing. We will deffinatly be coming again. Our young pooch was even given a dish of her own biscuits to enjoy next to the open fire.

An excellent base to explore the surrounding countryside.Parking is also available at the nearby Rushbury village hall where you can follow the footpath to the top of Wenlock Edge.

Stopped here for lunch on the way home from Church Stretton. We both went for the fish and chips which were excellent - the fish was very fresh , and the batter very light and crispy. The dish was served with minted mushy peas , coleslaw and home made tartar sauce. The real ale was as good as the food - perfectly conditioned and at just the right temperature.

This is a rather quirky and very welcoming pub with excellent beer and a blazing fire on a cold day. The landlord is very friendly and happy to chat and put the world to rights. We enjoyed our visit very much and were only sorry that we were not able to return during our week’s stay in the area. The Plough only opens at lunchtime on Saturdays and Sundays, but is open most evenings. I really recommend a visit.

The owners of this pub were extremely welcoming. The food was delicious. We had Fish and Chips and the Burger and they were really tasty. Dogs are welcome and well looked after.

Visitors to the area, we planned a walk around a pub, and the Jack Mytton way and the Plough, got our custom! We were pleased to be allowed to park up there before the walk, and when we returned found a charming country pub with a log fire, a grand piano that you can play, and several dining/seating areas. The owners bought it derelict a few years ago, so must have put a great deal of work into getting it up together.

Excellent fish and chips on fish Friday,despite very few people in there it was very atmospheric. With food this good, cannot believe it is not better patronised

Once again, Chris and Rosemary were very accommodating to our group of hungry archers! We made the arduous trek from Eaton Manor to be revived with some fantastic food and drinks.

Visited with a large group following a day a walking at around 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. Nice pub with lovely interiors, but it was a shame the piano lounge was almost in darkness with only a few wall lights lit and the fire also not lit on a winter's day. However it was not cold in the room.

I cannot fault this place. The welcome was warm and friendly, as was all subsequent service. It was Friday night and the board outside said Friday night is Fish night, so this is what we had.

This is a lovely, friendly village pub, with excellent pub food. We ate here with friends after a business conference at a nearby hotel - a perfect choice, Very friendly, nice atmosphere and everyone enjoyed their food. Typical pub menu, with some nice extras, eg fish and chips, lamb shank and mussels. All very well cooked and good value - and there is building work going on so they are clearly investing. Wish I lived closer, but will definitely make a point of stopping off here any time passing along the Fosse way near Moreton in the Marsh - it's just a minute off the main road.

Extra-ordinarily good freshly cooked food beautifully presented. Great beer and a genuinely warm welcome. Owners go the extra mile.

Lovely people in charge, super food and great atmosphere. Makes it worth coming up from Kent! We walked across the fields and were made to feel very welcome. Fireplaces lit and knick nacks. Could stay for weeks..very comfortable!

Fantastic welcome on a cold and wet day! 10 old friends and two dogs after a good cross country walk not everyone’s idea of a good thing but we were welcomed with wonderful warmth, freshly prepared food, log fires and dog treats! Super pub, also enjoyed the music and chat!

Really strange group of people when we went to the plough for Sunday carvery

I was with the group that had a misunderstanding about the cost of the carvery. We did see a poster in The Plough advertising the carvery at £12 and when we went to pay we were charged £14. From entering the pub to leaving the service was not good and 2 members of staff rude and unhelpful. Our waiter Paul was the only person who was friendly and polite and was laughing and joking with us. We tried to pre order a vegetarian meal and were told this could be ordered on the day, when this was asked for we were told the kitchen was too busy to make one. The meat on the carvery was very nice, potatoes hard and only warm, other vegetables ok. Some of the desserts were only warm but other people ate them or left them and did not say anything. When one of our group asked for one without custard this was refused as they were already ready.

We visited in a party of six on a Friday night. The pub was quiet - we were the only patrons. The pub was nicely presented with a log fire burning so was warm, and the bar appeared well stocked. Disappointingly, the food choice was fish and chips or fish and chips for mains, but there was a wider selection of dessert. The fish and chips were well prepared, well cooked and tasty, but were adequately sized rather than generous. And for the price, the fish should be cod or haddock, not “sustainable white fish”. On the other hand the desserts were a large portion, with an interesting selection available. The gateau and cheesecake were well received. The crumble, whilst rich and of good flavour, was heavy and did not resemble traditional fruit crumble.

My wife and I were meeting up with two of our children and their families at The Long Mynd for a walk. We'd had to cancel an earlier booking elsewhere for lunch after the walk, as dogs were not acceptable, and happened upon The Plough which accepted our booking over the phone at short notice. We were given a very warm welcome and then regaled with a pub Sunday lunch which we'd rate the best we'd had anywhere in this country, the meat deliciously cooked in copious but not too large portions, the vegetables exemplary - especially the red cabbage, and all at a reasonable to low price including reductions for children's portions. The friendliness and hospitality of the owners did much to keep our grandchildren comparatively quiet and attentive to their meals, whilst the owners' anti-fracking sympathies further promoted the experience in our eyes. We live in North Yorkshire but travel often to Cardiff and hope to experience this hospitality and food on further occasions.A great find!

Visited with a party of 12 including 5 kids and a dog. Nothing was too much trouble, we were made incredibly welcome and the food was amazing - my husband admitted it was the best roast dinner he'd ever had and this was in front of his mother! We will definitely be back!

Spent a very enjoyable evening, and had an excellent dinner, here. Food was well prepared and cooked. Portions are very generous. If you are in the area it is worth a visit.

We had dinner here, very friendly staff and wholesome home cooked food. Cosy atmosphere too. Well sized portions, couldn't quite finish dessert!

Absolutely superb service! Possibly the most quintessential pub we’ve been with personal and diligent service. The food was outstanding and all home made! Thank you for a lovely meal and conversation!

Lovely small bar, good atmosphere and really tasty fish and chips. Looking forward to going back sometime soon.

We had lunch here and the food is all freshly cooked to order. We had pork belly and gammon, which was delicious. The pub has a lovely open fire with a good atmosphere and friendly staff highly recommend a visit.

We had lunch here and the food is freshly cooked by the landlord. It was the best Lasagne & Garlic bread I have had for a long time. Decor of the pub is lovely with a good atmosphere and friendly staff highly recommend a visit.

Whilst visiting the area with 13 walking friends, I booked a table for a meal here and I’m so pleased we chose this little gem of a place. As soon as you walked through the door you felt a lovely atmosphere. It was such a nice change to have relaxing background music playing rather than loud awful music that you find in most places these days too.

We had this as the ‘local’ when we were camping nearby. The landlord managed to turn a simple ‘pub classic’, sausage and mash, into an absolute triumph. I’m a big believer in British food being as worthy as any, and if I had to prove to foreign friends that they’d underestimated traditional British food, this is where I’d take them.

We called in on our way back from a long walk with our dog, looking for something to eat and drink. We were not disappointed. Our meal was excellent and the hosts were very friendly and welcoming. They could not do enough for us and even gave the dog a bonio and some treats. Would highly recommend this characterful pub.

We had always meant to visit The Plough for refreshments after regular walks on the Stretton Hills, attracted mainly by the “dog friendly” signs outside the pub, but usually went to one of the superb cafes in Church Stretton instead. Having just taken two of our grandchildren and their parents up The Ragleth Hill, we all felt in need of a hot meal and beer and the Plough beckoned.

We happened upon this gem by accident. Wonderful warm welcome, lovely fire, excellent lunch. Will return hopefully very soon.

We spent a very comfortable Sunday afternoon at The Plough having visited once before and again were not disappointed in any way despite the pub being very busy.

We are moving to Shropshire from Hertfordshire and spent a day in the area house hunting. We decided to stop at a local pub for a quick meal before the 150 mile journey home and just happened to find The Plough. We have 2 large dogs and asked if it was OK to bring them in...the response we got was so warm & welcoming, we felt like regulars coming back after a long absence! Rosemary introduced herself and made us feel at home, even giving the dogs some much appreciated treats!! Before long we were chatting to the "locals" and we really felt that we had made the right choice (the pub...and moving to Shropshire!). The fish & chips were fantastic and we ended up staying much longer than intended (we eventually got home at midnight!!). We move in early October - and will be back to The Plough before we start unpacking!!

We walked to the pub from our campsite with our two dogs- the welcome couldn't have been warmer! Food was excellent, they were really accommodating especially when we wanted an alternative to the menu. Definitely worth a visit ( or two)

After a busy day, we called ahead to check The Plough was open and serving food on Thursday evening.

The menu was limited due the pub experiencing a very busy weekend but the food we had was excellent. Beautifully cooked and presented.

We stopped here just for a drink and decided to have an evening meal. We're glad we did: the beer was good and the fish and chips were first class. We also enjoyed chatting with the landlord and landlady. We'll certainly visit The Plough again.

My friend and I went to The Plough after walking around Shropshire Hills. We met the owners who were very friendly, interesting and great to talk with. We had high-expectations for the food after being told of praise which a fish connoisseur attributed to his meal. The food was great and equalled those expectations. I would highly recommend a visit!

We hadn't booked, chanced our arm even though there was a large wedding party dining, and were warmly and quickly accommodated. The owner Rosemary, the chef and the serving staff couldn't have been nicer and the carvery choices were really good. Lovely traditional pub with lots of space and lots of interest. Will be back!

We had heard that the Plough was under new management, so we thought we would try the Friday Fish & Chip Supper. The food was home cooked & very good, as was the beer & everyone was very friendly - we will be going again.

This was our third visit to the Plough having been brought here again by friends we stay with when visiting.

We arrived on Sunday hoping for a pub that served a Sunday carvery. We hadn't checked in advance, but the other nearest pub was not serving food that day so we risked it. They weren't serving a carvery that day but we stuck around nonetheless. We ordered drinks (not an overly wide selection available but easily enough for a country pub) and ordered food. The pub was quite busy at the time and they seemed fairly short-staffed that day, but considering the food was all home-made we weren't waiting too long. In the meantime, we spoke to other customers and (when they weren't busy) staff. There was a very relaxed and peaceful atmosphere despite the number of customers. The staff were very friendly and most other customers seemed happy with their experience as well. Then the food arrived. Wow! I had the lasagne and it was amazing - even better than I've had at Italian restaurants! The garlic bread it was served with was also done to perfection (and juicy with garlic butter!) Despite how exquisitely crafted the food was, the portions were traditional pub portions and thus rather large - one of our number sadly had to leave food behind despite the flavour. Finally we paid and found the bill to be about what you'd expect from a pub: not as high as the restaurant-quality food would suggest though. Overall, the experience was fantastic. If I was in the area again I would definitely choose to come here.

Came in for a pint while we were passing through the owners were more than welcoming beer was great especially the station ale must recommend realy looking forward to going for a meal very soon

Having spent a day in Church Stretton, we stopped at The Plough for an early dinner on the way home. It was early evening and very quiet but we were warmly welcomed . The Plough had a very comfortable atmosphere and we enjoyed absolutely superb food including some vegetarian meals served by a delightful young lady. They also provided an excellent range of local ales. There's nothing not to like about The Plough. We will be back.

Stopped at this pub whilst on abike ride, food was excellent and staff very friendly, will definitely stop here again. Very clean and tidy, lovely bar area

Great lunch stop during cycle ride. Great service and friendly hosts. Good fresh food. We will be visiting again soon.

Exceptional food and customer service. Thank you Chris for making our group feel so welcome, sadly I was unable to make the evening meal but they all came back saying what an excellent meal they had enjoyed. Thank you also for accommodating us for lunch on the Friday, despite not officially being open. Again, the food was lovely and it was nice to meet you in person. We will be back! Hope you have a great summer.

We had dinner here on Saturday 21st July. The menu is currently limited but we had very good fish and chips. Christopher and Rosemary are both very friendly and welcoming hosts. I cannot express how lovely this pub is with its different bars all very nicely kept. A typical English country pub. Fantastic. Thank you both.

Had a very warm welcome at the Plough for lunch with the family.

Went here tonight to have tea with my parents whilst they was holidaying in Church Stretton Food menu was limited but what we had was freshly made, portion was Hugh & served up well!! Many Thanks Sharon

What a wonderful find!!! Booked to stay on a local campsite for 4 nights to enjoy the local walks in the area, the Plough was just a short walk up a quite lane. We called in on the first night and was made most welcome by the owners Chris and Rosemary who spent time to chat to us and introduce us to some of their lovely regulars.

Recently visited while camping nearby and enjoyed some of the finest fish and chips it has been my pleasure to experience. The pub itself has been delightfully refurbished, has a great ambience and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended

We visited The Plough for lunch last Sunday after over a year's absence due to us not having holidayed in the area. The quality was excellent as ever and we were well looked after by Chris and Rosemary. The staff were very attentive and all was just as good as we remembered it.

I was one of a party of nine walkers who had lunch at The Plough Inn in early May. The proprietors Christopher and Rosemary opened their pub dining room to us, by prior arrangement, and made us most welcome. Our soup and sandwich lunches, from a wide selection of fillings on offer, were he most substantial many of the group had ever seen. Future visitors are advised to tell the proprietors how hungry they are when ordering! We had been on a three hour circular walk to Wenlock Edge returning to The Plough for lunch. After a most enjoyable lunch we needed another long walk! Christopher and Rosemary took an interest in our group members who had travelled from all over the country to holiday in this area and in this respect were most attentive publicans and kind hosts.
