The Plough Inn & Restaurant in Wiltshire

Dave and Kayleigh are the new owners. I was recently given 2 x £75 vouchers for their previous pub , the Crown at Upton and I booked a meal for my birthday on 23rd Sept 23. They also told me I had to pay a £200 deposit for own of their outdoor dining units, totalling £350. They then closed the pub and moved to the Plough whilst not contacting me and owing the money. Dave is still trading as Bemyfood.ltd. When I contacted them, and challenged them with this, kayleigh informed me that it is now her business. However, she is not listed as a director on companies house so they have scammed me , a customer, out of £350. Watch your cash people!!!!!

Stumbled past this gorgeous country pub. Lovely open fire and a warm welcome. Delicious Shepherds pie and a Thai Green Curry and a good value kids menu

The staff were friendly but the meal was really bad: burnt, bland and also cold the veggi gravy had lumps. The meal was not cheap and there was a compulsory fixed service charge of £20 which is unusual. A very disappointing experience.

Lovely evening at the Plough, 7th of Oct. So nice to have such committed landlords, the tapas was great. Definitely be going back.

Fantastic! We went for dinner at The Plough for their Wednesday evening steak night and both my husband and I were very impressed. Delicious food (with generous amounts of peppercorn sauce in a separate jug), which was so colourfully presented with very tasty roasted baby tomatoes and button mushrooms etc - this wasn’t just steak and chips! We shared a sticky toffee pudding afterwards which I would definitely recommend, The staff were very friendly and helpful and there is a lovely cosy atmosphere. I look forward to going there again.

Ann-Marie and Peter have recently reopened the pub and what a flying start they’ve got off to. We had Sunday lunch last week and the food was to die for. Being vegetarian wasn’t a problem - I had the same delicious veggies as the family but with veggie wellington instead of the beef they chose. Our plates were very generously filled and every bite was delicious. It’s so good we went back last night for another family meal and again weren’t disappointed. I’d thoroughly recommend eating here and supporting the lovely new couple and their amazing chef Darryl.

I spent a very pleasant evening there whilst staying in Shalbourne. The French chef is quite new to the Plough and is currently trying out new dishes. He very kindly cooked me a fantastic bowl of modules WITHOUT ONION, because of my allergy. The food was excellent, as was the glass of Malbec. After dinner I spent time chatting with the locals and the evening flew by. A great bunch of people who made me feel very welcome. This lovely, pretty village is lucky to have such a lovely friendly local pub.

A friendly and informal pub with a French chef. The moules frites was a very generous portion and perfectly cooked in a tasty wine sauce. The frites were excellent. The sea bass came with pearl barley and was delicious. Puddings of crepe suzette and apple and almond tart rounded off a super meal.

We thoroughly enjoyed our latest meal at The Plough. The salmon tartar starter, sea bream and handmade mushroom filled ravioli mains and apple and almond tart desert were all very tasty and beautifully presented. Service was very friendly and prompt. Bravo to the manager Alex and his French chef Aubin.

Booked for Sunday lunch and wasn't disappointed. Service was excellent, food came out hot, not warm like many places. We both had roast beef for main and the beef was cooked perfectly, the vegetables fresh and full of taste. Atmosphere was relaxed and very welcoming. Two starters two main courses, one desert and a couple of drinks all for less than £60. In my view superb value. We would certainly eat here again. Great little English pub and restaurant.

What an absolute dump?! I honestly have no idea how this pub is still running … pub is so run down and is absolutely freezing! Dog running around barking at you for food and jumping on furniture .. person working behind the bar was filthy and covered in mud? Also said the F word atleast twice in front of our 5 year old godson.. zero starters available and only one choice of main? Food was actually nice but portion size was tiny - also only 3 choices of pudding all of which didn’t sound remotely interesting, we went to Tesco to get our own. Always wanted to try this place but it will be our first and last time visiting.

I hadn't expected such good food. We had a lovely evening and delicious meal at The Plough. I can thoroughly recommend it.

Myself and my grandad just had the most amazing 3 course meal in this country pub, lovely open fire roaring in the back ground, friendly staff and not once did we feel rushed, peaceful and perfect and I highly recommend you visit.

Enjoyed two excellent meals at The Plough. Limited menu but everything superb. Friendly pub. Highly recommend.

Apparently a new chef arrived at the end of last year. So far he has produced two menus both of which wre superb. Limited number of dishes but each one of the highest standard. Had lunch today with new menu and cannot praise too much the terrine, pickled sea bass, pork and vegetable curry. The puddings were in a world of their own! Friendly and welcoming. Well thought out and reasonably priced wine list. This landlord knows what makes a good pub and his chef knows what makes a great meal

Excellent meal, best mussels. New chef from France has come up with a great menu. Definitely worth a visit

Great dinner with my wife in the Plough yesterday evening, amazing, proper French onion soup followed by melt in the mouth ox cheek and an incredible pheasant ragu. Lovely atmosphere and great service!

Perfect visit to a wonderful country pub - great food, great wine, great atmosphere. Well worth a visit. Will be back soon!

We have had a couple of superb meals at The Plough recently and can thoroughly recommend it. Aubin, the new chef, has added some French flair to the dishes. Whilst the menu choice is relatively small, all starters and mains have been very tasty and...

Excellent moules marinière and fries, washed down with a pint of cider. Thank you, Chef, Aubin, and maitre d, Alex.

With family and business associates located in and around the area - the Plough initially provided a conveniently located meeting place that had the added appeal of a well run establishment with character and charm… and yet in recent months it’s clear that somewhere behind...

I really enjoyed my time here would 100% recommend to anyone. The staff are super friendly and welcoming

What a wonderful lunch. The service was amazing. The food was out standing. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting

A wonderful lunchtime meal, friendly service and delicious food! Will definitely return. We had a delicious starter of mushrooms stuffed with cheese and walnuts, a very well presented delicious ploughman’s and a locally sourced ham, highly recommended!!

Lovely atmospheric village pub with a very earnest, friendly and genuine landlord, Alex, who took time to make us feel welcome. The beer was good and the wine reasonably priced with a good choice, served by friendly bar staff. The menu is short but we...

We have visited The Plough at Shalbourne over the years on our way to browse the Antique Markets of Hungerford and always stopped for lunch. The menu was always extensive with good wine to match and a buzzy atmosphere of locals. Sadly this was not...

Lovely location. Went on a Friday night. We were the only diners there. I now know why. Shocking food. I think there has been a change of ownership. There were just a bunch of 'regulars' out the front. The two young boys behind the bar...

Stumbled on the Plough at the end of a very long walk to be very welcomed for drinks under the outside canopies (they even put the heaters on!-) Looking forward to returning to try the food soon!

The Plough is a very cosy little village pub which thankfully has been brought back to life by the extremely personable new publican. We found the food to be excellent and the service impeccable, and most of all the locals just seemed to really be...

Can’t recommended this pub enough. Sublime food and drink. The service is incredible and the locals extremely friendly.

Was able to enjoy a few meals here and can’t say enough great things about the delicious and authentic food in such friendly environment. Can’t wait to return again & wish I lived close enough to grab takeaway while they are doing that! A place that truly warms the heart & makes you feel right at home. A must try!

Alex has breathed new life into this lovely old pub. Hospitable, welcoming and unfussy this pub does exactly what it says on the tin: superb Sunday Roast - Moules to start, beautiful rare roast beef with vegetables etc all cooked to perfection - or Salmon Teriyaki or Sea Bass alternatives which were exactly right - and then sticky toffee pudding. All served with a smile. Any one taking on a pub in this climate is brave: but to do so in a place that has suffered of late, and deliver such a success is heroic!

Had a lovely time Alex was very welcoming and the food was amazing couldn’t fault it. Roast pork belly and Moules with fries and crusty bread beautiful would highly recommend and we will be back very soon. Saw the burger which also looked Fab well done Alex doing a great job.

Absolutely lovely Sunday roast. New owner is really friendly, good banter. Only fault would be portion sizes and inexperienced teenage staff.

New Tenant's October 2019. New tenant’s show good promise of upgrating this pub to a new invigorated establishment, only offering limited snacks at this time but hopefully full lunch and evening meals after xmas. Mid-week quiet and cosy, crowded at weekends with friendly locals with occasional invited musicians.

A very welcome addition to local eateries, we had a really delicious meal attended by friendly staff in nice surroundings.

We had a roast beef Sunday lunch here today, dropping in as we happened to pass by. Simple, traditional, friendly. The couple who run this pub do so very well. I think we will be back.

Glad we found this lovely pub. Very friendly atmosphere and superb food. The menu was varied and extensive. However, I just fancied ham egg and chips. The ham was beautiful - very rare to get this quality ham unless from my own butcher. The pear and caramel cheesecake was to die for. The Wadworths 6X was very good - obviously we’ll kept. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

It has been 30+ years since I last visited The Plough and in the interim having lived abroad for many years it was great to return and rediscover this truly traditional pub. We visited early evening and so it was very quiet, nonetheless relaxing and welcoming. We had a family emergency that arose just after we had ordered dinner and the Landlady (sorry we did not get your name) could not have been more helpful, trying to find telephone numbers for taxis, pausing the food preparation etc. In the end it all worked out OK and so The Plough with great food and beer in a traditional pub setting is definitely a place we will be visiting again. We stayed at Westcourt Farm (see our other review) and although our stay was only one night it was a lovely time in Shalbourne.

We ate here twice last year whilst on holiday in Wiltshire, both times at lunchtime. The food was lovely and the staff attentive and friendly, The first time we took the dogs in with us. It is lovely to find a pub were you can take dogs in whilst you have your food. The meals ithemselves wers beautiful from starters to sweets.

Frequented by locals. Charming and friendly atmosphere, Reasonable prices for traditional menu. Most accessable by auto vs public bus transportation.

Very good choice for extended family group.We lunched here with a party of 30+ and had extremely good service in a private room. The menu was good and the portions generous.

Una preciosa casa de público, cenamos una noche y el almuerzo de domingo. La comida era excelente, el servicio es muy bueno y el pub era un pub encantador en su propia en el pueblo, disfrutamos de la noche y la comida de los domingos. El filete era preciosa, también las patatas fritas, para comer el domingo no quería un asado, así que era agradable para poder recoger cualquier cosa del menú, curry de patata que tenía en un chapuzón de ajo empanadas, que eran preciosas y luego con salsa chili carne enchiladas y queso, estaba delicioso, realmente lo recomiendo y las empanadas. Una cena encantadora y Domingo almuerzo disfrutado por los cuatro,

Great drinks, family friendly, good value and courteous staff. Worth a visit with the entire family and also friends.

Fuimos a reunirse con amigos para el almuerzo. El Plough Inn nos pareció extremadamente bueno. Tuvimos un servicio excelente con una amplia variedad de comida. Uno de nuestro grupo es vegetariano y ella dijo su elección fue muy buena. Todo el lugar estaba limpio, ordenado, con un muy buen ambiente y un gran personal.

Called in for a meal half way through a 4 hour journey - and so glad we did! Very friendly pub, recently refurbished, so everything looking very clean and bright. Not all covered in tinsel and Christmas decorations! Good menu and an additional Specials Board with good value prices. Food was freshly cooked and tasted delicious. Staff members were friendly and polite. Definitely will be revisiting when passing again.

Parado aquí en el hop en nuestro camino de regreso desde Portsmouth en una noche de sábado. Sin embargo, una mesa fue encontrado para nosotros y tengo que decir que el personal no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros. Mi marido tenía el pollo relleno de stilton, que no puedo comer queso stilton y desafortunadamente las comidas pre-preparadas y que no podían hacer con queso cheddar, así que nos fuimos para el pastel, que era muy bonita, aunque podría haber sido un poco más caliente. En general, tuvimos una estancia agradable y sin duda lo recomiendo y volveré.

Nuestro grupo tenía poca comida en el arado mientras haciendo un 12 metros, así que todo el mundo tenía hambre. Todos los alimentos ordenados antes era servida con rapidez y fue disfrutado por todos nosotros. Es un pub Wadworths y los 6 X Y IPA estaban en óptimas condiciones. Hay un menú limitado para comer, pero era justo lo que queríamos. Es un bonito pub local, sin pretensiones y vale la pena una visita.

I stopped here with the family on the way back from Southampton last night. It's situated just of the M4 on the turn off to Swindon. Turn off and head to Marlborough and the pub is situated a couple of hundred yards down on the right.

Mi marido y yo hemos estado parando para almorzar en el arado durante muchos años y nunca he tenido una mala comida. Perfecta si quieres una alternativa a la comida m4 servicios como está, literalmente, a 1 minuto de la autopista. Hoy tuvimos los huevos con jamón y patatas fritas y una cesta de pescado con patatas fritas. Ambos recién preparado, generosas porciones y delicioso (mi marido piensa que sus fichas son las mejores que he probado nunca y me las arreglé para comer la mitad de la mía!). Menú amplio y a un precio muy razonable. Personal amable. Pub podía hacer con un poco de precios pero perfectamente cómodo. Sin duda recomendable y continuaremos pop en nuestros viajes.

Stayed at local B&B; and ate here Mid week. Menu is good with specials too. All food cooked to order and I had steak which was cooked to perfection and service was great. Prices reasonable. Wine expensive by the glass £6.70. Very nice place.

I've eaten here a few times and the basic meals are excellent (and huge!). The staff are friendly and there are great views as it's quite high up. good prices too.

Called in after a trip to Swindon. Checked online times they were serving food, which states food is served all day and everyday. How misleading this information is.We arrived at the pub very hungry and looking forward to a lovely meal, wine etc. I asked for a table for four to be told " hope not expecting food as we have finished serving food at 3 and won't be starting again till 6 pm" the time we arrived was 4 o'clock I told the person that they website states they serve food all day and this is very misleading as we had gone out of our way to visit this place.Her reaction was very negative and she really couldn't have cared less. Not good!!!Went on to a very nice pub in Marlbourgh and so glad we did. The staff there were so helpful and polite. The Plough may have good reviews on food but they really should get the times right, it's misleading and it time wasting for others.If you visit this pub and come across this negative reaction, carry on to Malbourgh and visit The Royal Oak. You will also save yourself a few pounds as the Royal Oak is good value for money.

Good traditional pub with wide selection of food. A little more expensive than average but reasonable value all the same. Recommended

Visited with a party of adults and children (about 25) and had a very good meal.We have been eating at this pub with our extended family for many years and cannot fault the service or standard of food and drink. The Pub has an excellent choice of beers. The prices are very reasonable and the service is good. The pub is full of character, always busy and a good place to eat or drink. Thoroughly recommended.

I am from Australia and have found so many places cook lamb poorly, However at The Plough I ordered Roast Lamb and was delighted with what arrived. I am fond of Lamb Shanks and was interested to see that this dish consisted of the lamb shoulder (cut across the shoulder blade) rather than the elbow. The meat was succulent and sweet and was obviously cooked in the same slow manner as one cooks shanks. I have never tasted lamb that was better cooked than this.Although this was the highlight we experienced a very good meal in all dishes.

Sunday lunch at the plough was exceptionally good value for money the beef cooked to perfection, al dente veg and fantastic friendly service, the best lunch I have had out on a Sunday for a long time
