The Plough, Bloomsbury

Many people who review this pub seem to be either blind, tasteless misinformed and/or misconveive the pub altogether - the miserable, balding grey-haired, old guy (Ivan) is not, never was or ever has been the manager of this fine establishment - which is a very friendly pub indeed and certainly the most comfortable pub within this area of Bloomsbury. Yes, it can be a little smokey at times - it's a pub - people do smoke in pubs, so what else can you expect? The recently appointed manager Vanessa is a charming, friendly, bright and bubbly young girl and, in spite of some comments posted, actually keeps a very good pint of real ale. There are also numerous charity events run within the pub - not least of which is a monthly quiz night, which is held on the first Wednesday of each month from approx 7.00pm, onwards - all proceeds from this event going to a very reliable charity called Tools For Self Reliance.
