Used to pop in with kids now and again, and regularly at lunch times from work.They obviously detest children now with the bolting off of the play area,and no under 14,S sign.The place has been terrible since Sue left who was the best bar staff they had ever had.You are going to go out of business,this is a poor pub with no atmosphere and no decent business ideas.Beer choice is tedious too!

I try to like this pub, and use it a bit, as its in walking distance.
I just don't know what it is about the place that does not have me come back, more often!

Someone below said it was 'sterile', and I think that is quite a good description.

You're not encouraged to sit at the bar, and the bar feels like it is a staging room for the users going into the pubs Restaurant.
The bar is quite bland in design, just a square shape with a smallish serving bar... its just so... eerrr 'Sterile'

Not had an issue with the quality of the Beer (Charles Wells), but it is pricey!

I will still use it, just not as often as I should to...

I used frequent this pub quite a lot a few years ago and to me it embodied all the traits and qualities of what a good village pub should have, e.g. inviting, good atmosphere, friendly management/staff descent menu etc.

Visited the Plough recently and could not believe how different the place was from a few years ago, the place is so sterile and false it is apparent that the staff do not want to be there, zero atmosphere, this could have something to do with no one being in there on a Friday afternoon but got the impression the place is dead full stop!!

Some of the locals were nice – only positive point about this Pub.

Verdict
Very Very Poor Mr Wells must try harder much harder !

Great food and service when we went for a birthday meal, will be back soon for a Sunday lunch. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the place is very relaxed and welcoming with reasonable prices and huge portions.

what a crap hole this place is, this just shows you what happens when a pub that is doing well trys to do better by kicking out all the regulars and turns it in to a "fancy waiting area", most boring place i have ever been !!
I will not be going back, instead i will spend my 50p else where !
