The Plough Inn Huddlesford in Lichfield

Fantastic meal. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful pub. Located near to Lichfield, but feels a million miles away from anywhere. Located next to the canal and main intercity railway line close by. Plenty of parking, outside/inside seating areas. Inside is quirky and well decorated. Toilets are also clean and tidy. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is cooked freshly, so at busy times, there is a little wait, but well worth waiting for. Food is well presented, looks inviting and tastes delicious! Booking is advised if you are eating at night inside, I would imagine. Really enjoyed our first visit to The Plough, it definitely won't be our last.

Lovely place. Good food good beer.

Consistently good in all aspects

Dog friendly pub with lovely food. Seems to be a popular pub due to the number of visitors on a weds afternoon.

Just been for a lovely meal and a drink at the plough at lunch time would definitely recommend to anyone thanks

Good food and drink, served with a smile, but you will need to book if you want to sit down when the sun comes out. You can then have a nice walk along the canal.

Popular pub next to the canal. Not too far away from A38. You have to drive through some HS2 works to get there. Definitely worth booking a table if visiting at main times. Loads of seats outside. Staff very helpful and attentive.

I do not normally write reviews but this is probably the best pub that I have been to in a while. Its a bit hidden away, but the food atmosphere and service- especially the service was absolutely amazing. The locals were really nice and chatted to us, the staff could not help enough and were just really lovely. I will go again and would recommend others to try this place too.

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon stop here while on a canal walk, really lovely time sitting outside with the dogs and watching the boats pass by! Food was lovely!

Extremely friendly staff. Really chatty and fun. Food is excellent. Had large fish n chips and steak n ale pie. Homemade cheesecake. Lovely atmosphere to the pub. Well worth a visit and meal .

Great service at this pub, went out of their way to accommodate my mother’s awkward diet requirements for lunch. My husband and I had ciabatta sandwiches, the roasted veg and the tuna and sweetcorn. Both were excellent with nice chips and a small dressed salad. Food cheerfully brought out to the canal side. Food was excellent value for money. Will be sure to visit again soon.

Gorgeous Sunday lunch, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere Can’t wait to go back to try other food on the menu!

Visited this pub on the recommendation of my sister in law. Nice sunny day, so quite busy at lunchtime on a Wednesday in March 2025. Plenty of room inside and outside despite being busy. Ordering at the bar was a pleasant and enjoyable experience. We shared a steak ciabatta with blue cheese dressing, salad and chips. Absolutely excellent. Steak was melt in the mouth tender, salad was plentiful with a lovely vinaigrette dressing and the chips were light, fluffy and hot. Certainly not your usual pub catering chips fayre. Could not fault the food in any way. I had to congratulate the person waiting food and serving behind the bar. For families there are effectively two beer gardens, one of which is at the side of the canal. A very pleasant experience, thank you.

Lovely country pub beside the canal. Food was excellent.

Staying at the local premier inn and looking for a late evening supper ! Thursday night ! The pub stops serving at 2030 and had a few minutes to decide Beers ordered and brought to the table Garlic mushrooms were excellent Washed down with some neck oil Fish n chips and a mushroom burger. Both excellent Service excellent - really enjoyed Would highly recommend

Just stopped by for a beer, great place and our dog Willow was well looked after

We had lunch on a Tuesday. It wasn't too busy and we loved the choice of drinks. There was very little vegan food available, but they did make the effort to find something suitable for my wife. Unfortunately, the food took a long time to be served and was almost cold when we got it. The taste and texture of the portobello and hallumi burger was excellent, but I do like hot food on a hot plate, and the temperature was a disappointment. I wonder how long it had been standing at the pass.

Great food friendly staff nice pint!

Just had lunch at the plough. Staff attentive, friendly & welcoming. Food was absolutely bob on. Delicious. I had cod & chips. Fish had crispy light batter, I couldn't eat batter as fish was enormous! Only ate couple of chips for same reason. Served with mushy minted peas, just perfect...tasted like you'd just picked fresh mint from your own garden. Tartar sauce was homemade, it was also delicious. This attention to detail pays dividends imo. Partner's meal was equally as good. Blue cheese & chorizo burger ... plentiful French fries onion rings, homemade coleslaw....again he left most of french fries as portion was mega-sized. Cost was a little more than basic pub grub, but it was fantastic quality for the money. Couple of pints of doombar bitter from the pump jus fab. Will go here again. Lovely afternoon.

I was disappointed with my steak. I asked for it rare and it came well done one end and medium rare the other. The rest of the meal was delicious. Big portions and a great place to be

We were told about the Plough, we have lived in the area for years and never knew of its existence. Well ....after todays experience I feel we will be more of a regular visitor. Lovely location right by the canal, so I would guess in the summer it could well be packed. Outside nice looking building, plenty of car parking. Inside a tardis, well layed out and well decorated. Nice bar with a good selection of beers, wines etc. Menu a good selection. My partner chose fish and chips, I have a chorizo beef burger as I was not that hungry. I could not get my breath when the meals were bought out. Both meal were massive, I am a big eater but the burger beat me, my partners fish was well meaty plenty of fish and light on the batter. Both fantastic meals. To top it all, if you like Guinness, on the day it was one of the best pints I have ever had. Price wise for a pint of Guinness and two large gasses of wine plus the food £60 and a few pence. Really good value for money.

Went for Sunday lunch. The food was amazing and definitely get your moneys worth.

This was a truly excellent lunchtime experience. Sunniest day of the year meant that this canal side pub/restaurant was absolutely heaving. We could only book a 4:30 table. The service was exceptional. Friendly, cheerful but incredibly efficient. Despite the number of diners there seemed to be a very organized process in place. The food itself was superb. I had turkey with five vegetables and a huge Yorkshire pudding. An excellent meal. My partner had lasagne which was excellent. For our sweet we had 'two spoons' for one meal. We had apple crumble and custard. Truly Divine. The total cost was 46 pounds. Worth every penny and I cannot thank of our waitress enough.

Lovely pub,food and service couldn't fault it

Lovely place next to canal. Great music and atmosphere 👌

Just had the steak & alr pie and the cod ciabatta. Steak was very tender & lots of it, mash was perfect too and both meals were hot! The ciabatta was huge, more than enough for 2 people. Friendly staff, quick service, all in all excellent.

Good food, service and atmosphere. Great selection of beers as well 👍

We go here when we're launching and landing our kayaks. Great place to eat afterwards.

Always lovely food, feels cosy and staff are friendly and attentive. We had the camembert sharing starter and pork belly from the standard menu and also the sweet chilli salmon from the specials board. The portions are large so be warned! No room for dessert unfortunately this time...

Poor experience this time, batter on fish looked and tastes burnt, Fish was also dry. Pub was filling with the smell burning oil when we were leaving. The very young manger came over and said they had checked the batter and it was ok, but my wife said it didn't taste ok. Better tasting fish from local chippy. Shame made it a bad experience.

Nice varied menu. Great vegan pizza too

Real nice country pub. Great bar snacks

Absolutely lovely place, 100% recommend! 😋

After strongly recommending The Plough to my Mum and Dad they visited today for Sunday lunch. Their table was booked at 12 and when they arrived there was a huge queue outside so they expected a big wait for service and food but how wrong they were. They were seated straight away and the service was excellent… the food was even better. ‘The best Sunday lunch ever!’ Were their words. They will definitely be back… and I certainly will be : )

Amazing food the portions are massive, the atmosphere is amazing and the staff is great!

The food is delicious, very fresh and large portions. The staff and service are very good. Recommended. Clean bathrooms, lots of parking. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good food & drink. Good service. Not cheap. Very noisy for hearing aid users

Tried this place on recommendation on a busy Friday night. Was advised it was lovely village eatery. The food was okay however the atmosphere was very much like a lichfield city pub full of very drunk people. I imagine this place is lovely on a weekday lunchtime and in summer by the canal but if you want a relaxed Friday evening try somewhere else. The servers were not particularly friendly and it seemed that hey did not want to be at work. It all seemed very hard work for anything you wanted.

We visited tonight for my Dads Birthday having never been before. We were recommended by a friend, thought it might be a bit of a risk for an occasion when we hadn’t been ourselves but needn’t have worried at all. Really lovely cosy atmosphere, smiling staff serving you and the food was fantastic. Four of us had the roast beef and the portions were huge, nothing was missed and it was all thoroughly enjoyable. We will definitely return!

This is a well run, cracking little restaurant and pub. It's always busy and especially jammed when food is being served. It's quieter when there is no food but always has local regulars propping up the bar and visitors from the canal in. It has Sky Sports on two small screens, allows dogs, serves a decent range of well-cared-for ales, a large number of benches outside in the summer, some by the canal, and is accepting of everyone in my eyes, even me. On the flip side, the menu usually has just one vegan option, if that; the west coast mainline runs within 100 metres sonit can be noisy when you sit outside, and the patio area suffers from a whiff of septic tank in summer, when the wind blows in the wrong direction. Otherwise, a great place.

Lovely country pub, I had that largest ploughman's lunch ever, staff very helpful, dog friendly

Seriously good food, somewhat competitive pricing. Have been a few times now.

Lovely pub. Really enjoyed the meal. Ordered the steak sandwich and the pie and mash. Both delicious Good service. Warm friendly pub.

Great little pub sitting alongside the canal near Lichfield city. Pub is tastefully decorated in a sympathetic way as its quite an old building. Menu has a good choice of food and a vegetarian menu too. Service is quick and attentive with friendly staff. Small bear garden but it has tables outside the entrance and a patio area to the right hand side of the pub. Have eaten here many times and have always found the food to be really lovely and the service good

Nice pub good selection of beer largars

Food was excellent, especially the Ploughmans. Probably the best I've ever had. I ordered chips as well but I was too full. They just need to up their game on the customer experience. The young girl was quite good but the chap that brought our sweets was quite uninterested. He may as well been feeding some ducks. Excuse me, please, thankyou, enjoy your sweet, how was your meal, are you enjoying yourselves etc etc?

They served us , a party of 10 adults and 3 babies, with efficiency and very pleasantly . I would certainly recommend them as it was a busy Sunday lunchtime.

Entered pub feeling it was going to be a good evening. Ambient atmosphere. Then shown to a back corner where we had to wait a long time for service. Fish and chips ok . £30 for a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc was obscene!!! We had a back of the pub meal and left.

Cosy and super popular, next to the canal.

I go here regularly with my family of 5 for meals and occasionally just a drink in the evening. I have never had a bad meal here, I love the menu and the food is all home cooked and fresh. I've always found the staff to be nice, and have always tried to accomodate us when busy. I love the pizzas and the burgers are a firm favourite, I have had a Sunday roast here a couple of times which has always been great. Overall great local traditional pub, with great food and nice atmosphere, particularly in the winter when the fires are on

A truly great country pub restaurant that's tucked away and that gets very busy.dog friendly, great atmosphere and a good selection of beer wine and spirits too.

First time at The Plough. Food excellent, good quality and generous portions. Couldn't fault it at all. I am already planning to return with friends.

Excellent food and staff very helpful

Omg the pizzas and the chips at this venue are just #chefskiss!!! Ive never had a bad meal, the staff are brilliant and the food is just too good. If you don't eat all your pizza they'll give you a box so you can take it home!! Brucey bonus!!!

Another awesome meal with top service and a great atmosphere

Came in here whilst waiting for my car to be serviced, great food, great beer (red stripe) and great hospitality by all members of staff, will be coming back for a pub lunch with family

Sunday lunchtime, ten guests and our food came out together. Some had the Sunday roast whilst others had other main dishes.

Lovely food great staff very welcoming for family birthday party, accommodated visually impaired well thanks x

Excellent service and food. The staff were attentive and very professional, while the food was hot, plentiful and delicious. A wonderful experience, Please extend our compliments to the kitchen staff for their hard work.

Great food, similarly priced to other pubs in the area but the quality and quantity you get is mich better.

Visited this cosy pub after an absence of about 20 years 😀 Food was lovely, super dog friendly and the real fire was a nice bonus. We will be back, thank you.

What a wonderful pub, had a spot of lunch. The large fish and chips was one of the best I've had from a pub. We'll worth a visit.

Good food friendly staff good service lovely place

Can’t fault it, fast service on a busy evening, great food and lovely staff

Absolutely love this place. The food and service are always excellent. The lasagne here is superb. Love the decor and the sparkly lights.

What a lovely pub food was great service was good lovely atmosphere 😀

First visit and was really impressed. Good choice of beers and the food was really first rate. I had salmon with new potatoes, and everything on the menu sounded good. My partner had the fish and chips, and the portion was very generous! It was busy so the atmosphere was good and the staff were efficient and helpful. Will be going back.

It is a very nice pub with excellent food and a good selection of beers. Tucked away down some quiet lanes but very popular, or at least it was on the occasions we used it

The best Sunday lunch out I've had for a very long time... Perfect amount of everything, even the gravy! Perfectly cooked veg, great presentation, delicous! Book though, it gets busy!

Cosy country pub, easy to get to just off the A38 near Lichfield. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff and a good level of service. Plenty of availability for a Monday evening. Plenty of food options with a Pizza menu and pub classics. Fish and chips was a very good size portion and tasted great. Would recommend

Food and service always excellent, highly recommend 👌

Very nice staff , and welcoming. Couldn't ask for more even the lovely cosy atmosphere inside tops it too . Recommend anyone coming here to try it .

Had an excellent meal on Sunday chosing Turkey and my partner Fish. The restaurant was exceptionally busy but didn't have to wait long for our meals. They came with plenty of vegetables. More than enough to eat. The desert was divine. Sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. All reasonably priced. Must go again.

A great pub in lovely location. The staff really friendly and the food was delicious. Extensive menu too - lots of veggie options.

Really nice pub, staff very good and food we had was superb. Ales kept well, this would be a regular place for us if we were local but stopped over on our narrowboat while cruising

We stopped off for lunch at this pub on our way back from Derbyshire to Sussex on Saturday. We had first tried the Dog Inn at Whittington (smelt strongly of chemicals and had big screens on for the football) and the Bell in the same village (basic menu), so it was a relief to find The Plough in a beautiful location with tables by the canal plus an extensive menu. For the 3 of us we ordered 2 x meat lasagne with garlic bread and a ploughman's. Impressed with both dishes. Very tasty piping hot lasagne in its own dish with big slices of garlic bread and a side salad f rocket. My husband raved about his ploughman's which included a bit of everything that you might wish for and in volume too - we ended up taking a doggy bag home! Thank you to The Plough for saving the day when we were getting very hungry and frustrated!

Nice place, I haven’t tried the food, just drinks, shame the bartender poured my beer in a dirty glass…zero star for service. Nice atmosphere and nice garden

Been here a couple of times and this time, we had a pizza and chips. The pizza's are big enough for two people so no need to buy one each. The front of the pub gets very very busy but there's plenty of seating in the restaurant area. Probably wise to pre-book though.

Had a lovely lunch with 8 friends at the Plough. Great food and service at a reasonable price. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Great pub in a lovely location, staff were very friendly. Will definitely be visiting again.

A really enjoyable visit to The Plough this week. It's a very quaint (dog friendly) pub with a lovely atmosphere. The food was very good. We had the Cajun (half) Chicken and fries and salad. Very tasty and well presented. We enjoyed great service from the staff on duty and the (Proper Job) ale was top class. Highly recommended

Excellent food, but overlarge portions which always makes me feel guilty when I leave anything. Looking at others’ servings they looked the same. Delicious starters and superb mains. Somehow my husband managed pudding as well. Service was faultless.

Well a year on...up this bit of canal again.. so I booked us a table.... we both had the steak,and blue cheese sauce... wow, woe, wow... these chefs know how to cook... we have not experienced food like this, for over 15 years. ... it was amazing... and oh my God . The Guinness... ladt Time I had one that tastes like that... I was in Ireland... at the Guinness factory... ... we'll be back!!... in fact I had to the barman, how nice the Guinness is...

Lovely pub, in a great setting. Very friendly staff. Food was good well presented,lots of choice on the lunch menu.

This pub is a little gem. it's well worth a visit. The food is lovely, highly recommend the fish & chips. The ambience & atmosphere in the pub are top notch x

Great little pub with fantastic food and friendly staff.

Great service, good food, reasonable beer. Recommended.

Just a fabulous dog friendly pub!

Beautiful pub hidden out of the way. The food is fantastic

First visit on Tuesday 27th August amazing food Maddie was so lovely definitely going again on a regular basis x manager was also front of house which was an added extra you all need to try make sure you book in advance 😀

Never been before so I took my daughter for lunch. Staff were friendly and the food was amazing, decent portion sizes for lunch !! Will have to go back to try the evening menu 😋 Highly recommend!!

Always great food, lovely place near the canel. Loads of seating outside,plenty inside, & an area so you can take your dog.

Spacious and nicely decorated. Large menu food was very nicely presented. The mushroom with pasta was poor due to it being mostly mushrooms, very little pasta. Chicken tikka poppadoms came with ought sauce. Service was slow, staff were friendly.

Amazing rustic but trendy traditional pub set in the middle of nowhere, fairly expensive yet worth a visit. We visited when 'Threes Company' a local band was playing with Bob and 86 year old base guitarist was playing - what an amazing place. 👍😉‼️✔️

Always a great place. Fantastic burgers, especially the chicken burger. And try a pint of Madri, or two.

A lovely spot, and with tables on the canal towpath. I had the small fish and chips, which was HUGE! My dad had Ham Egg & Chips. Nothing to fault, it was stunning food, friendly and welcoming service, and great value for money. Service was very fast, the food very fresh. Home made tartar sauce was a delight.

Great lunch with adult family members. We had a varied selection: Blue cheese and Chorizo burger / Ploughman’s / Steak Ale pie with chips replacing the mash / Ham & Pineapple salad with chips. Portions are big but reasonably priced. Service was fantastic, very attentive and all the food turned up together. From being received and to paying the bill nothing was at fault. It’s my first time back for around 10 years and the food and service was as good as it was back then.

Lovely meal ,great menu, quick polite service 5 stars all round , we will be back .

Good food, beautiful old pub. Staff are nice and friendly. Shame that the customers can't park sensible half the time. Only problem I've found is that my salad had far to much dressing. This being said the rest of my food has been lovely
