the restaraunt at the Plough Inn in Cotswold

Very nice welcome and decent burger and chips on a quiet wed evening. Plenty of parking. Cosy fire. Recommended - go along and support your local pub!

Ate here on Sunday 3rd Nov at 2pm with my family. Excellent friendly service from the moment we arrived. Plenty of staff who were polite and very efficient. We all had a roast, beef and three chicken. The food was extremely good and we all agreed that it was probably one of the best pub Sunday roasts we ever had. Very reasonably priced as well. Can highly recommend and will be returning 👍

Came here on a Tuesday a few weeks ago. Unfortunately it was quite a disappointment. The website shows a sample menu which looks pretty good and the pictures of the food looks decent. However when we arrived they had a 'pizza night' on. The range of pizzas was 3 pizzas long (one wasn't being served), fries and chicken strips, all rather expensive. When the food came out I'm sad to say it was terrible. Pizzas tomato base was very sweet and the toppings not cooked well. I didn't have any of the chicken strips but they came out burnt. I would describe the food as similar to food you might get at a bowling alley. I understand small pubs probably want to run a more limited menu on quiet days, however I think this isn't an excuse to serve food that is so far below acceptable. I would like to imagine on a night later in the week the food would be much better. I will say however, the two waitresses were friendly and attentive all evening and regularly came to take drinks orders.

Went for Sunday lunch. I had pork, which was very tough, not slow roasted as advertised and the cracking had so much salt on it, it was inedible. Cauliflower cheese was actually broccoli cheese (do not like broccoli )and had no apple sauce. My friend had the chicken, no gluten free alternatives (yorkshires or cauliflower cheese) and her gravy was laden with salt, made her eyes water!, again, inedible. I had two coffees, both of which were look warm. Came from Swindon for this lunch, should have not bothered!

Outstanding food and service. The waiting staff we had, came across very well. Polite, cheerful with a nothing is too much hassle attitude. Great work, keep it up!

A massive fan of Sam & Jaks restaurant in Cirencester so thought we'd give their pub a go. Saturday lunchtime we were the only 2 people in the restaurant with maybe 3 tables of people outside. Not a cosy vibe decor wise although if it we're full the atmosphere would have been different. Started with the chicken satay, it arrived & was raw so sent it back. The fish in batter was average & the chips standard frozen, for the price would have expected triple cooked at least. Beef brisket was inedible as so salty so that was not eaten either. The bar man gave us a warm welcome & our waitress was great, she felt so embarrassed our meal was a complete disaster. We did agree a discounted price. A real shame but a long way to go to get anywhere near Sam & Jaks Cirencester restaurant.

Lovely evening only let down by temperature inside pub, felt very cold, 9 degrees outside but no heating.

Pizza Tuesday! Booked on line, after reading reviews and menus. Unfortunately we booked a Tuesday, when only pizza are served! Not clear from the web site. They were good, but we are not teenagers, so disappointed. Beer and wine good though!

Nice outside seating area. Missed the food, sadly.

We visited The Plough for Sunday lunch on 11th August 24. It was a beautiful day and fairly busy in the garden and restaurant. There was 7 of us for my wife's birthday. I can honestly say "the food was really good with great portions, served with no delays. Staff were polite, efficient and very helpful. The cost was reasonable and we had a lovely afternoon. Only "downside comment" better chioce of desserts (being picky)...... Thank you for a good experience, we will be back.

Nice attitude even though jus5 drinking, try food next time round,

Being local decided to walk to the Plough for some food after a busy day. Didn't realise it was pizza night but not a problem as were hungry. After waiting a while to be acknowledged at the bar, which never happened, thought we had better check they were still serving food, as most of Cirencester seems to close early for food. At 8.05pm told they had no pizza bases left. No apology, very curt. Turned walked back home a hurriedly ordered something via Deliveroo! Not in a rush to go back.

We stayed in Stratton Mill holiday let nearby ( a stunning wee place too!) and the owners recommended The Plough before we arrived so we booked it for the Tuesday night, pizza night! A fantastic start, the bar staff were warm and welcoming and the pizzas just magic. Before we left we booked Thursday night. I had steak, husband had bacon chop. Both excellent, perfectly cooked and presented. We then booked for Friday, same experience and, once again, the young staff team were OUTSTANDING, the best staff experience we've had in a LONG time - thank you all for making our holiday! Friday's dinner was just as excellent...so guess what? We booked Sunday lunch. This time I had the bacon chop and he the roast chicken...flawless. The staff team, not least Tyler (who we met) and Toby consistently working miracles in the kitchen and the front of house team just exceptional, again not least Libby (Libz) and Joe among others, every single one genuinely warm and welcoming and totally informed about the menu. We could only wish for a place and people like The Plough near our home in Northumberland. We're already booked to return to stay at the Mill next June and we will absolutely returning to The Plough and we've recommended the place to an actor friend who's in a play at the Barn Theatre. Five stars to The Plough and team every single time we came in to eat. Awesome! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We've just finished a week in Stratton near Cirencester and ate at the Plough four times. We started with Tuesday's pizza night then dinner on Wednesday and Friday and Sunday lunch yesterday. Can't recommend it more highly. Lovely friendly, welcoming and very efficient staff (great job not least Libby and Joe and the others 🥰) and great food (well done the chefs Tyler and Toby👏). All the food was just delicious, refined without being fussy and always beautifully presented and using the best ingredients. Can't wait to come back and sample this absolutely fantastic pub and restaurant!

The food and the chefs here are an absolute cut above. Brilliant service to go with

Top notch food and service. Busy, buzzing venue with young, enthusiastic and motivated staff. Thank you, Joe, Mia, Mark, Stacey and the others, sorry I failed to catch your names. We group of 9 ladies had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch which we arranged for in advance due to our party size. The Plough couldn't have been more helpful. Liaising with me when arranging our booking and providing a menu. Sorry Stacey, I kept calling you Jak in my emails. Food was beautiful, everyone very hawith their plates. We had a great time thank you all

The best roast ever. We had sunday roast pork belly and beef. Both are tender and come in great portions. The creamy rich tasty broccoli cheese, crispy roast potatoes and garlicky vegetables are spot on. The staffs are also attentive, friendly and helpful to offer us extra gravy. Would definitely come back again!

We had a great lunch out in the beer garden. Booking was easy, the staff were friendly, the food was fantastic and the price was fair.

A super cozy pub with very nice innkeepers. Very dog ​​friendly, delicious beer

Went for Sunday lunch and we were shown straight to our table and given menus. That was a good start and then quickly appeared the wine, water and bread. We also received our mains in a timely manner. My roast beef was very tasty but lacking gravy so I ordered a side to the passing waitress. I had to repeat 3 times I wanted extra gravy but my partner had to say the word himself in order for her to understand. I know I have an accent but I have been in the UK for 25 years so I normally don’t struggle to be understood. Anyway she brought a little jug promptly so I was happy. My partner was not so impressed with his roast chicken and noticed most of it looked and tasted like pan fried chicken. If you are going to serve chicken supreme don’t advertise it as roast chicken. Veg and Yorkshire pudding were tasty. For afters we ordered an affogato and a cappuccino. The affogato appeared without a spoon and it took at least 5 minutes to see one appear. In the meantime my partner had to ask for his cappuccino again but that did not appear till after I had finished my affogato. This is the second time we go to The Plough but the first time it was smoother although already cramped and disorganised. Had a couple of mixed experiences at Sam & Jak’s in Cirencester before and that is owned by the same people. There is a lot of room for improvement in both venues and although we are local we won’t be rushing back.

Exceptional sunday lunch! One of the best in the area. Even catered to our little ones! Will definitely be back. Photos of the pork belly and crumble! The veg was also amazing- especially the cheesy broccoli!

Having read the mixed reviews, we went with an open mind. Hospitality is tough and needs our support to survive, however, to run a successful pub, a blend of skills are required to meet the expectations of the paying customer too. One of which, is strong communication and the ability to handle high pressure with a smile. Upon arriving at the Plough, we felt the pressure from the moment we walked into the bar. We were given an extremely cold greeting by an overstressed waiter .. no smile, no offer of a drink .. just ' we are getting your table ready' . We were left standing in the hope that someone would recognize that we would actually like to order a drink whilst waiting and after 2 attempts, a lovely waitress eventually served us . We were thinking of leaving at this point but it was later in the day, where else could we go ? So we persevered .. after all, the food was supposed to be good. In all honesty, the ambience wasn't great, it felt frenetic ..the staff were so stressed, spinning on the spot, the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing as the saying goes. We were eventually sat at our table in a room that just didn't work. Very crammed and all in a state of disarray .. the layout and furniture lacked lustre but hey, if the service and food were great, you could somehow come to terms with that. Ummm ... we were not offered a wine list, a bottle of water ..just straight in with the food order .. rush rush .. ! It became clear that there was simply no attention to detail .. what may have been good was out weighted with what was so obviously bad. No thought or care, ensuring we had all we needed, not even salt and pepper at the table. You could say, first impressions rang alarm bells from the start, the greeting .. to the layout, it was all a bit thrown together. So to the food .. everything coming out of the kitchen looked very appetizing and to be honest, our meal had all of the flavours. However, the roast chicken came as a pan fried flattened chicken escalope ( were they thinking I wouldn't notice )? I questioned what had arrived and they had obviously ran out of roast chicken but it was assumed I would be happy with this. The veg was good and the yorkshire pudding was lovely. However, not enough gravy on the plate so it ended up very dry indeed. Perhaps a small side of gravy would be a great addition, or at least the offering of more if needed. We felt abandoned .. it was my husbands birthday lunch, I had mentioned this in the booking but there was no acknowledgment, again ..had anyone paid attention to the detail? In our opinion, there are quite a few tweaks needed in order to make this a good destination eatery. Front of house has to be slicker, a friendly smile, just a bit more warmth needed. Beyond running a good kitchen, factors like comfort, consistency and ensuring your guests enjoy a welcoming environment that they want to come back to is absolutely vital. It is a great shame and wish the Plough every success in the future but hope improvements are made in order to make it a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. Once thing on this occasion we didn't receive ..

Lovely food. Good service. Busy need to book.

We found The Plough by accident, looking for a lunch break on our journey from the Midlands to Surrey. We enjoyed it so much that we called in again for a Sunday lunch a couple of days later. We can highly recommend The Plough, for an excellent imaginative menu of food. On both occasions our meal arrived quickly and was superbly cooked and presented. The young staff who work so hard to make it successful are friendly, helpful and polite. All in all a real gem, we will be visiting again.

Delicious Sunday roast sat outside in the sun. Friendly staff and food came out fast. One of the best Roast beef’s we’ve had - pink meat, crispy potatoes, delicious fresh greens and cheese broccoli with a huge Yorkshire and rich gravy. Would definitely eat here again - was fabulous.

Great food and friendly service. Unfortunately it was a very wet mid week lunchtime so the pub was almost empty, with no atmosphere but we were not rushed out.

OK, so just visited the Plough Inn with my wife. As soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted by a member of staff. We picked a table as it was very quiet with only one or two locals present and no more than a handful of other diners (Wednesday evening). The menu looked good but we both went for a simple meal of fish and chips. Simple maybe but it was absolutely delicious. We were visited three times by staff, enquiring if everything was OK and any more drinks required. Food was excellent, drinks delivered with haste and staff more than attentive and friendly. If we're in the area again we'll definitely call in. Highly recommended and a big thank you to staff for a pleasant evening.

Outstanding Sunday roast! And cheesy broccoli is a revelation. We’ve tried the beef and the pork so far and both have been superb! Will be returning soon for the chicken😋

Good food, good service, a little camped. Overall very good.

We had the veggie mushroom burger, it was incredible! We had it with slaw, red cabbage, some fries and greens. Would really recommend- stunning food and service. Thank you Mark!

Exceptional customer service, very welcoming, lovely food reaonably priced. Nice location.

Amazing sunday roast, we had the Beef and Pork Belly, was stunning! Staff were amazing will definitely be back, thank you Arabella and Tyler 10/10

Sunday lunch with friends. Pork belly, beef, chicken & nut roast Wellington on offer, all served with perfectly cooked root vegetables, winter greens, broccoli cheese, huge Yorkshire puddings and extra gravy. Service is flawless; so friendly and attentive. We were all too full for dessert! Lovely pub with an open fire, great atmosphere and fantastic food!

Great curry and beer deal for myself and disabled friend, Mark.

You have to go here! Wonderful service, outstanding food, lovely ambience.

We went to the plough for an evening meal after dropping if for a cider a week or so ago and being impressed with the friendly staff. The food was fantastic! I had a saled beef smash burger (possibly the best I have ever had - sorry beefy boys!) My wife had haddock chowder- again it was beautifully cooked and a good portion My daughter had fish and chips - batter was crisp and great quality “meaty” fish Inside. The dog was very disappointed as he hardly had any leftovers. They even went to the trouble of giving me French fries with my burger and chunky chips with the fish. Staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was a vibrant English country pub (no music - so you can have a conversation). They had a nice log fire on the go with comfy sofas for those lucky enough to get there at the right time. If I’m totally honest dessert was only an 8/10 but the main courses more than made up for it. 10/10 overall we will be back to complete the menu! Highly recommended

We were staying in the hotel next door and called in without a booking; they were pretty busy but managed to fit us in. The service was great and we had a lovely meal.

We were welcomed by a friendly staff and roaring open fire. We ordered the ‘special’ Wednesday to Friday’ menu and for £20 had an excellent 3 course meal. All the portions were generous and the food warm and delicious. I started with salt and pepper squid ( probably the best I’ve tasted in the U.K.).Then I had a large portion of fish and chips. The batter was crispy, the hand cut chunky chips tasty and the home made tartare sauce, out of this world! For dessert we had ‘sticky toffee pudding’ par excellence! I would thoroughly recommend this country pub for its food, service and ambience. I believe it is under new management …. Congratulations to the new team!

Staff welcomed us immediately and found us a table. They were all so lovely to us and everyone who walked in which made the atmosphere really wonderful. The food was delicious!! We stayed longer than intended as fire area was so cosy and atmosphere so nice, so had a few more beers and wine.

Very welcoming with great food and excellent service...Will be returning soon...

Delicious Sunday roast and fantastic service to match - thank you team!

Best roast dinner in the Cotswolds! Beautiful food, cosy interior and welcoming staff 10/10!

Really tasty mushroom burger. The staff were lovely. Would come again.

Great location. Good menu choices, if slightly pricey. TV showing sports. Range of seating available. Good selection of drinks. No need to book in advance. Nice outdoor area for smoking and dining in the summer. Food wise, the ribs are excellent, the burger was terrible. Very impressed with the young staff running the pub at the weekend. Really polite friendly and attentive.

We live locally and having read all the positive buzz about Sam & Jaks in town, we decided to give their newer set-up The Plough in Stratton a go. From start to finish, we couldn't have been less impressed as absolutely everything was mediocre. The surroundings, the decor, the service, and the table settings are underwhelming, and the menu choices are limited and overpriced. At £14, my beef carpaccio starter was little more than a couple of slivers of beef in a mustard-type dressing and their £17 fish and chips was 'bog standard' and unremarkable. We eat out regularly and feel blessed to be surrounded by many great restaurants and wonderful dining pubs. Sadly, The Plough is neither.

Great little pub serving great food in a friendly atmosphere

We were quite underwhelmed. It just lacked a cosy atmosphere, maybe because there was a distinct lack of fabric to cushion the reverberating sounds. The decor didn’t work; pink and green with white painted 18th beams, trying to be contemporary but not nailing the look. Furniture recycled ( which I normally love) but wasn’t curated very well. Really loud dance music covers bouncing out of the speakers was also quite jarring, softer music would have been more atmospheric. It felt like two teenagers were running the evening; who incidentally were very polite but no adults around. They cleared the table stretching over plates whilst one of the party were still eating ( not great manners). I had heard great things about this pub but sadly we were both really disappointed with the atmosphere, quality of food and setting. I had French onion soup to start which cost £9, small portion and luke warm. Also they had run out of vanilla icecream to go with the dessert menu and cheese board on a Friday evening, so if you are planning to go this weekend let’s hope the management are planning on a food shop this morning before weekend bookings. Sorry for being so negative, but there is a lot of competition out there… we think you need to raise your game a bit more. I don’t think we will come back, there are much better choices in the Cotswolds. Sorry x

Lovely food and superb service. Will definitely be back.

Decidedly average sadly. Had heard good things, but whilst the food was good/OK (burger overcooked and chips undercooked), the tables were sticky, and the furniture recycled, but not in a good way. The ribs were excellent. The staff were very friendly, but not informed about what things on the menu actually were. There wasn't much to be briefed on, and it would have been a 5 minute job for this to happen. With so many good places around, I doubt we'll be back even though it's a 4 minute walk away.

Very tasty, just could of done with a bigger portion of vegetables. We were given a serving dish with our veg in, just not enough for 3 people who like lots of vegetables.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, amazing service from all of the staff. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Nice food, good staff. Good place for lunch.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Plough, it’s our third visit and they’re consistently tasty with plentiful portion sizes. It’s a lovely venue.

Fantastic food. Nice staff. We ate in the bar area and prefer it. The noise levels can be a bit much in the restaurant area. Good portions, fabulous Sunday roast too, ideal if your hungry. Might seem pricey but you bet what you pay for!

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Favourite of ours. Service not always great but on Sundays it’s good.

Amazing food and great service. Beautiful pub.

I stayed in the spa next door and we decided to try somewhere new for dinner the following night, looking at the menu online and from the outside it seemed really nice, the staff were really friendly and we were seated promptly, apon receiving our starters we were instantly disappointed, a baked camembert that was £14, you would expect a larger one to share for double the price of any other starter, disappointingly it was a small individual one. The bread it came with was burnt to a crisp and tasted like burnt paper, it was totally disgusting, it hadn't been toasted but instead put on a griddle and you could taste the horrid burnt of other food, it hadn't been cleaned in some time. The other starter was supposed to be half a pint of prawns with Aioli, it came out as unpeeled king prawns that were almost frozen put in a small glass, apon taking one out it was oozing with a black and white substance, I looked in the glass and it was like that on all of them, turns out they all had fish eggs coming out of them and the kitchen said it was safe to eat, it was an absolute horrible sight and be and my partner both felt sick at this point, this was promptly sent back to the kitchen and another starter was chosen. If it wasn't so late we would have both left at this point, the mains came out which weren't as bad, the ingredients seem quite cheap, coleslaw on my partners main was very cheap and had a runny watery liquid oozing all over the rest of her course. The waitress was really nice and was very apologetic, that was the only positive thing about our experience, definitely will never be returning.

Fabulous place for delicious food. Enjoyed it so much, lovely staff too. Nice casual easy vibe Dog friendly which is great. Nice decoration too. Would definitely come back if in the area. We went on a Wednesday night and it was packed so make sure you book.

Absolutely wonderful evening at the plough and we only dropped in on the off chance. Superb food and staff.

Last minute booking to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Both had the roast beef. Couldn’t fault a thing. Absolutely wonderful, large portions, but we battled through! All the staff friendly and very efficient.

This is a lovely pub. As I understand it, they have newish owners (takwn over in the last year or two). Its deceiving in how nice it is from the outside - quite unassuming if you drive by. Small selection of seats outside, ample parking. Nice decor and clean. Staff really lovely and welcoming. There is a darts board and bowling in a small section in the pub. The food was very good and to a high standard that I wouldn't nessecarily expect in pub. Would recommend the half pint of prawns - simple but delicious!

Delicious Sunday roast! Service was excellent and lovely family atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Great to this pub back open again and thriving!

Just been for a family Sunday roast. Amazing! Good service, great atmosphere and fabulous food! The plough never fails to disappoint now it has changed hands! New management has worked wonders! Will be back soon!

Visited The Plough for a Sunday roast and everything from start to finish was outstanding. Service was brilliant, food was delicious and very baby & pet friendly! Will definitely be back!

Brilliant service and food Went with the family for a. Sunday lunch and the meals were great and so was the service. Will be back.

Absolutely fantastic. Food, service and outside seating is perfect. Had chicken Caesar salad and it was amazing. Will be returning!!

Absolutely AMAZING! Me and some girlfriends met up for our weekly catch up for some lunch today! What can I say the food was outstanding, so flavoursome and colourful (chefs kiss) will most definitely be coming back here on a regular basis for our weekly...

We are just back from what is a local pub for us that we had been looking forward to visiting for some time as we like Sam and Jacks in town and eat there often. Firstly, we were hoping to try the Smokery menu, which...

We came here as the place had good reviews and was recommended by the campsite we stayed at. Unfortunately two different options in the menu were not available so l ordered the fish and chips. The fish was huge and encased in greasy batter that had leached grease and soaked in to the chips below. The fish was really nice out of the batter, a few less greasy chips were eaten but l gave up. I did give this feedback to the waitress. Don't know if they were having a bad chef day or that is the norm, it was a disappointing experience. On the bright side the staff were very pleasant and efficient.

Booked a table for 7.15 but our first 2 choices (ham hock and ribs) they'd run out of . We opted for the burger and Fish and chips. My burger was OK but the wife's batter on the fish was swimming in grease (the fish...

One of the best pubs in the area, the food is amazing. Been in multiple time food and staff perfect.

Never been before fantastic food. Presented beautifully. Front of house couldn’t be more helpful fresh food good selection of beers all in all good first visit.

This is rather overdue as I promised the Plough I would write them a glowing review after an excellent meal a few weeks ago. The pub has been transformed into rather up market food but in a very relaxed manner. We were greeted by a...

Here for a meal with family. Promptly seated and served. Food good and great portion size with quite exceptional chips! The rack of ribs especially good. Could have been 5 stars, but final bill presented had 3 more drinks on it that we had consumed, while it was quickly corrected, they could have easily been missed and paid for!!

I have eaten here before, it was a smoke house now they have changed the menu the food is incredible. I had the ham hock and I was not expecting what they brought out it was amazing. My wife had the courgette it was beautiful...

I was recommended this pub by some friends for a quick and easy lunch. My self and friends were very surprised at the gluten free options it’s almost the whole menu. I haven’t had fish and chip in a long time but as they are...

Well what can I say about the Plough. Excellent variety on the menu, not just the normal items some great old stuff too. Service couldn't be better in my opinion, staff friendly and attentive. The 3 of us that went this afternoon are looking forward to our next visit... Well done staff, chef and kitchen staff for looking after us so well.

Went for first time today. The outside space is lovely in the sunshine with the music playing, felt quite like we were in the Mediterranean. We had the Sunday lunch for 5 and everyone remarked on how good the food was. The roast beef and belly pork were both delicious, as were the ribs…thoroughly recommended!

I was so excited for this and it was such a disappointment. The positives; Nice friendly staff, good wine selection. Hubby enjoyed his fish and chips. Negatives; I had high hopes for the BBQ aspect. I had the smoked brisket that was so dry and...

Food great. Website states they are full but this is not to be believed. This could be a great pub but it needs people in it. Please visit.

First time today and the food was really good. Roast beef and the belly pork delicious and good quantities. The ribs were also very good. The outside seating was glorious on day like today, very comfy chairs. I will definitely go again and hope that...

Recently taken over by the renowned Sam & Jacks, The Plough Stratton came with a high bar and higher reputation. It's a lovely Pub, good ale, friendly staff nice outdoor setting. My friend raves about the food so I had to try. It was nice....

Perhaps it was the late’ish table time of 13:;45 to blame but the chef should not have allowed the pork belly main to leave the kitchen. Three of us (out of four) opted for the pork belly, which arrived with enormous puffed up Yorkshire puddings...

I ordered the fish and chips Would be nice to be asked if you want salt on it. Also had a side of garlic corn on the cob they must of forgot the garlic very plain taste. When the bill arrived they also added a £8 service charge thought tipping was optional in this country. Wouldn’t rush back better pubs around

Me and my wife went to have a meal at the Plough Inn Stratton on Wednesday evening and the meal was superb i had Beef Brisket and my wife had Mackerel and we both really enjoyed the meal, would definitely recommend this restaurant to others wanting to try this for the first time

We visited the Plough for Sunday lunch with our two daughers, partners, and a baby. Big mistake! The menu is exclusively Sunday Roast. Many pubs unfortunately seems to do this now - NOT everyone wants a roast. Three of us had smoked mackerel with new...

Friendly staff, good service, cosy atmosphere and an absolute cracker of a Sunday lunch

Not a good menu and because of the small portions it's over priced. Need to employ a business manager who knows food.

The menu was fine: enough choice (unless you wanted fish!) but not so much that it’s all obviously from the freezer. I had the Honey Harissa Aubergine which was very nice, my partner had the liver, which was stringy and not so nice. Service was good, prices were fair.

Good food and reasonable selection of beers

Great Sunday lunch, very busy, must book.

We went for Sunday lunch. Very good indeed. All well cooked. Great attentive, friendly staff. In addition to the roast we ordered a side of buffalo cauliflower which was amazing!. We'll be back.

Made a booking for food on a Saturday night, dog welcome and given free treats, prawns were great, steak was cooked perfectly! Very friendly and welcoming place. 100% will come back!

We were very excited when we heard Sam and Jak were taking over the plough. We love their place in town and we live in Stratton. We have visited lots and it’s our new favourite by far. A really laid back vibe, lots of dogs...

Love our local, beer great, merlot amazing and dogs welcome. Great food as well 👌

We recently visited and whilst the establishment itself is very warm and welcoming unfortunately the food wasn’t what we thought it was going to be. The ribs were incredibly dry and lacked sauce on top making them quite hard to swallow, partnered with a weird...

Had a fabulous night in the Plough Inn. We were staying in nearby hotel and booked a table for 6 of us and what a good decision that was. We’ve been there on previous occasions but noticed it had recently changed hands and were made...

Stumbled across this pub as we were staying close by. Excellent food and service! Lucky enough to have a roast there on Sunday too. Couldn’t fault a thing. Look forward to coming back again soon.

Lunch with a friend today - what shone for me was the genuine warmth of our welcome from a team who were friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about all Sam & Jak’s new venture has to offer. The menu was inviting to the point where I would have loved to have tried everything - I eventually chose the smoked chicken burger with slaw and a side of fries. Loved it, smoky but not overpowering with a hint of warmth, the chicken thigh was amazing - melt in the mouth tender. Fries were the lightest and crispiest I’ve had. No salt and pepper on the table - that surprised me - but it wasn’t needed - that surprised me more! Great value too - not often I’ve been able to say that in the Cotswolds - love the decor and colours, and big open fire. Thank you Harrison and team for a delicious lunch, really happy to be a short stop away!

Excellent pub in Stratton, Cirencester The Plough in has recently been taken over by Sam and Jak who run a restaurant in the town centre. We visited on a Friday night and we're pleased to see it was busy with a mixture of diners & those enjoying a drink. We went for food and both had the 14 hour applewood smoked brisket with fries and smokey beans it tasted fantastic, melt in the mouth beef which was packed with flavour with the beans adding an extra layer of smokiness to the meal. It isn't just food from the smoker, they have a wide range of options across their menu. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive which added to the enjoyment of the evening We will be going back & I would recommend you should visit too.
