    An excellent ribeye steak meal on a Monday evening that felt like the weekend as almost every table was taken and the atmosphere was great. The food and service is delicious as we are used to when dining at Blacklock and as ever the Madeira gravy is to die for!

    The Plough is one of our regular haunts, and never fails to delight. We enjoy the food, especially since they introduced regular specials to the daily menu. The service is always friendly, attentive, and helpful. The vibe of The Plough is laid back, buzzy, and appeals to all age groups, (we are in our 70’s, and love it!), There are great daily 2 for 1 offers. We personally the Thursday 2 Pizza & a bottle of wine for £40.
