| Was going to pop in for a pint when I saw the CAMRA insignia on the blackboard outside (it's not listed in the Good Beer Guide) until I realised it said "beers listed by CAMRA". Very naughty to use Camra's name like that. Nigethebeer - 20 Sep 2010 11:59 |
| The Plough is an attractive old Cotswold-style pub with a secluded beer garden, which runs down to the River Windrush at the rear of the premises. Unfortunately, in July 2007 the river burst its banks and swamped the pub to a depth of up to two feet. The pub was then closed – a situation which persisted for no less than eight months. However, re-opening took place at the end of March 2007, one of the first customers being local MP David Cameron. Potential customers should note that the bar area in this pub is quite small, and obstructed by a large chimney breast, but otherwise The Plough is always worth a visit. There are normally four real ales on tap, including Ringwood and other south coast beers. stanley_C - 19 Jun 2010 11:14 |
| Must have some kind of masochistic tendencies, as I give this place another go...... and guess what - tried a pint of the Butts Bulbus fish stuff beer ... and it was pure murk.... Unlike my unknowing American friends from last time I took it back and must admit I was given a decent pint afterwards (though there was some delay while the young lad behind the bar sought some kind of guidance). So many people take things on first impressions and this place needs to realise that. Doubt I'll be a regular though as there are SO many better pubs in this town. As the annoying old Cameron afficiendo git at the bar so rightly pointed out to me ' If you've had so many duff pints here why come back' - thanks for pointing out the obvious to me and I will not repeat the same mistake again.

| The restaurant for fine dining is in a separate building from the pub, which is very much still a proper pub. The staff are friendly and the ales are good, particularly the TT or the Butts (re: Snarling_Mallard: if you got a dodgy one for whatever reason I'm sure they would have happily changed it!). Plus they have a large selection of wines, loads of rums, whiskies and a few nice brandies too. I have a feeling that they are going to be very busy this summer (beer garden) now that they have such a good reputation in the town. sam_e - 6 Mar 2010 19:14 |
| Certainly not as you offer no explanation for blatantly poor beer. Snarling_Mallard - 14 Jan 2010 19:36 |
