My visit was interesting. When I saw the outside and the area my heart dropped. But this pub has so many values. No music, no phones, but what matters is decent beer in a decent bar. It wasn't cheap for the area, but the ale was good.
I went at lunchtime. Slightly strange situation, not doing lunch but cheerfully rustled up something basic. Landlord was rather taciturn, but landlady was enthusiastic.
At lunchtime this was a male drinker's pub, but that is no bad thing. Give it a try if you are in the area.
Perhaps even the fire would be alight in teh vening.

The Plough is a really smashing pub. it serves a great range of guest cask ales and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Often they will offer you a small taster before buying. Also it is a mobile free zone and has no music or television. the only minor criticism is the hard wooden benches if you go to the left when entering the pub. The other seating is very comfortable. Strongly recommended.

How can any body fault this establishment.A drinkers paradise,no phones no dogs no music just sample the array of real beer hic hic hic.sowhat its luverly.

Visited last weekend after a long absence. Thames Valley Morris Men were dancing in the car park. What a pity there weren't more spectators. Still a great pub bu still on the expensive side but a great range of real ales.

Certainly a great pub for different ale range. The place itself was not that large inside, also no music or tv in the background.
Also the whole idea of not allowing mobile phones seems over strict. I guess people can take them outside, but i can't say i see this as a very exciting place.

Full of people doing the quiz. Can never quite understand the English quiz culture but I guess it gives people something to do round here. Probably a decent enough place if you get to know it

From the outside it looks like a typical sticky carpet job but appearances can indeed be deceptive. Very friendly welcome then super range of beers in excellent nick, not cheap but then we are in one of the richest corners of Europe. Food prices, strangely, below what you'd expect round here. Well worth an expedition.
|
prices are too dear unfortunatly but beer is kept well very clikey if your a stranger
|
Great selection of ales, well kept too. Food is below par though.
|
Relly nice place - cannot understand ban on mobiles though. They are are a part of modern life - surely they should have gaslights and only hand pumped beer otherwise?!
|
A great local, particularly if you love real ale as there are usually 7 or 8 constantly changing ones on handpump. No annoying music, silly sounding machines or mobile phones ringing. Wonderful.

Great little friendly pub. Smoking and non smoking areas. Lots of choice of wine and bears. Definitely worth a visit.

A great pub. This pub is a dying breed, ie a freehouse with a real landlord and landlady (very friendly and welcoming). Constantly changing real ale list from small breweries. Mobile phone ban in but (this keeps out the lager swilling Kevs). A winner!
