My second visit and another good meal - the beef and yorkshire pud was excellent, however the vegetables were over cooked, mediocre and at the price (£12.95 for the main dish) could have been more plentiful. Service excellent as always.

My partner and I are regular visitors to this pub and would commend it heartily to anyone, either for a pint or a snack or meal. The welcoming landlord leads a team of friendly, efficient staff, who go out of their way to make customers feel at home. This is a former Young's house and they serve an excellent pint of Special (despite pressure from the new brewery to push Bombardier) and our favourite is a "Ram Rod and Special" which is always generously interpreted! In winters they keep the Winter Warmer to perfection. The blackboard menu is supplemented by a daily specials board and food is individually cooked and offers variety from chips to substantial meals. Our favourite pub in the area.

Not really a pub, it's a Restaurant !! Went in there on Saturday, loads of reserved table and nowhere to sit down with a pint

Having just returned from my first visit to The Plough, I must say what an excellent pub this is - thank you to the people who rated it on here, who enabled me to find it.
The full car park was a good indicator, particularly as the pub round the corner only had 3 cars in its car park. I had a pork belly on wholegrain mustard mash from the special’s board, which I rate amongst the best dishes I've had – restaurant’s included. My daughter had a leek risotto that which was cooked freshly to perfection and my wife's Avocado and bacon salad was equally as good. The Young’s bitter was excellent - this being a beer which has to be kept well as otherwise you can easily tell by its taste.
The Plough is a good combination of a traditional pub serving excellent food - I still felt as though I could walk in here and just have a pint. In case the dishes I've mentioned are not to your taste, they did have dishes like Rib-eye steak and chips together with Haddock and chips etc - I was going to have to former, but decided that the pork belly sounded nice - sure enough it was. It might also be worth booking at busy times to avoid disappointment, if travelling a long way.
The service was excellent and staff very helpful, attentive and friendly - full marks.
ps. I forgot to add - this pub is also now non - smoking - don't let this put off the smokers as the garden outside is very nice.

I visited the Plough yesterday for a Valentines lunch and the food was marvellous. The staff were friendly and efficient. The decor is unobtrusive and I think fitting to some of the clientele that have been going there for years. It's clean, totally non smoking and with a lovely garden for the nicer weather hopefully to come! I would recommend anyone to go if they want some excellent food in a nice relaxed atmosphere. I'll definitely be going back and taking family with me!

Yes the Plough has a nice feel to it and the food looks good...but the decor !! Bright lights and naff mock tudor. This pub could be so much better with a mild make over. At the moment it looks like one of those tourist pubs you find in North Devon. With a bit of loving care and attention it could be so much better, but please dont turn it into a pub like the Black Swan down the road.... Yuck

After the shock of the travesty that is now the Black Swan, what a relief to find that the Plough is still the pub it always was. Very friendly and efficient staff, a top drawer pint of Special and well cooked good value food. The proper potato chips are worth a visit in themselves.

Had a very good meal on my one visit so far, staff very friendly. Youngs on tap. Would readily return again.

More of a restaurant really. Excellent food and friendly staff. Only way to get a table at weekends is to book in advance!
Non-smoking area is too small for my liking tho.
