Great British Pub Awards has awarded the The Plough, family pub of the year 2023. It has a lovely cosy atmosphere, traditional, with open fire places. The staff are very friendly, cheerful, and helpful. Enjoyed the food and did not feel rushed. The pub has expansive gardens, with a play area for the kids. Could not take advantage of this as autumn and dark. Still, this did not stop my some and friends playing rugby in the floodlights.
Hubby and I so enjoyed the tasty food, the cool breeze through the sliding doors onto the lovely garden and the cosy atmosphere. He had roast cod and I loved the roast salmon, served with posh mash wrapped in a short tube of ?seaweed (edible and so tasty) crowned with tender green beans. To top off this gastronomic delight there was a very tasty sauce. If I could have licked the plate I would have :) With a sumptuous sweet each, a half a lager shandy and a delicious iced latte the bill was a very fair £60. The total experience of Sunday lunch for 4 adults and 2 kiddies at a run of the mill Greene King the day before (no desserts) at £80 was incomparable! Thoroughly recommend and will be going again!
Visited recently and experienced great service and very good food. An excellent choice for Sunday Lunch. Dog friendly and they looked after us wonderfully well.
What a little gem of a pub in the beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside. First time here as it’s been on my radar for a while. We were just going to pop in for a pint but the menu was just what we were after - steak night on a Thursday ! Amazing service and great food and beer. Love it!
Top class lunch!
Just returned from one of the best lunches I’ve ever had. Great venue and fantastic value for money, food was well presented and tasted amazing.
What we had ..
Starters
⭐ Roast Parsnip Soup
⭐ Roast Scallops
⭐ Pressed Terrine of Roast Chicken & Black Pudding Remoulade
Main

This is the sort of environment everyone should try to create in terms of what fabulous service and experience should be. I can’t wait to return again.
FINAL WORD. Part of the Secret Pub Company who also own The Radcliffe and The Railway - both excellent and worth a visit.

Great food and good selection of beer, staff were attentive and also had 25% off food in October. Food was more gastro pub quality than the average Greene King …
Had a fun play area and drinks and food were amazing! I had a burger off of the kids menu and it was of great size and tasted amazing! Definitely would come again, lovely outdoor seating!
Went here a few weeks ago with a group of friends for a meal and some drinks. The service was excellent, all waiting staff were friendly and helpful - our waiter was Adam and he was brilliant. Food was really good too - looking forward to returning again soon
Stopped at Plough for sandwich and pint lunch and wasn't disappointed. Had intended using garden (accompanied by 2 dogs) but bit cool. Dogs allowed in 'Drinking' side of bar. Sandwiches great, good bread, plenty filling. Hope to get back on a sunny day and sit in garden.
