| Time for a top-up review on the pub and beer: The beers regularly change, with around 6 handpumps on at any time. There is a wide selection, all well kept in my experience over the last 5+ years, ranging from golden ales through London Pride types, to the occasional milds and porters, and from many micro-brewers as well as the big companies. I recently had a lovely couple of pints of Fullers HSB. Always excellent beer here. Prices for the beers are very acceptable, given the excellent choice and location. The fire is lit in the winter making it cozy in the main pub. It has old oak beams. There is a large extended seating area just off the main bar. The pub cat is lovely too. There is a small car park and street parking nearby. It has a pleasant outside garden, with shrubs and overhanging trees, though this is not really suitable to kids to run around in. The landlord and landlady are good. It is not a place to plan on eating, as whether food is on or not is always a bit hit and miss. It is free of piped music and TV and so is a good pub for talking.

| PS I agree about pub beer prices, which are getting out of hand, but this is mostly due to greedy pubco's and regional breweries using their monopoly or beer tie to force landlords to buy at exhorbitant prices, which they are forced to pass onto customers. Unfortunately only an independent company the size of Wetherspoons with huge bargaining power, large premises and high turnover can fight this. I fear many more pubs will continue to close, but I hope not this one. spikefromsurrey - 14 Jun 2010 17:13 |
| Popped in one evening with a few Camra buddies, and sampled some great ales e.g. Andwell Ruddy Darter, Green King Back of the Net (World Cup special) Hepworth Dark Horse (Mild) and Cottage King Arthur. All in excellent condition, and a friendly and knowledgeable landlady. However, not just a pub for male real ale nuts, as there was a party of ladies in the corner also having a good time by the look of it. Thoroughly recommend a visit. spikefromsurrey - 14 Jun 2010 08:08 |
| 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. BeerEnthusiast - 16 Jan 2010 18:56 |
| 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. MagicMoments - 1 Oct 2009 09:52 |
