Best KPortal Reviews
English country pub with an unspoilt interior serving cask ale. Really good experience. A range of baguettes are served that are excellent value, but only at lunch time.
I tried to book for a meal but was dismissed at once, telling me "politely" that they do not do food in the evening. I was about to ask if they only do lunchtimes but the man put the phone down on me, without any further explanation. I would not call this attitude very customer friendly. In any other country, they would be out of business. I read that they only welcome locals and I have just experienced that. A real shame that they don't open up to customers but I guess that reflects the whole mentality of the owners or managers.
PS:I had to put one star but obviously would have been none if allowed!
Absolutely amazing little country pub with era atmosphere, quiet, peaceful locals are super friendly and owners are very welcoming passing through and instantly needed to stop and check it out, while here tooke some photos and ordered a coffe and an amazing Ham & Cheese in an Aga oven baked Baguette bliss
The Plough has so much to offer.
1. There are so many interesting items to see around the pub. I advise people to take the time to see the many unique things which are on display. It is ideal for people who are intellectually curious.
2. There is a lovely clock in one of the corners. It is lovely. I took some photographs of it as I found it to be extremely alluring.
3. The baguettes are filling and nicely prepared. There is a good choice and the menu is handwritten, which is unique. As far as I know, they only do baguettes, but it is attractive as the portions are of a good size with great fillings. The bacon and Brie is really nice.
4. The other customers at the pub were really nice and welcoming. They made an effort to be friendly and engage in conversation.
5. We were greeted warmly and the woman who assisted us was really nice and helpful. She told us that she had just returned from Barbados, which was an excellent conversation-starter. We spoke about Caribbean holidays. I stated that I would recommend a You Tube channel, but I didn't get the chance to write it down for her. There is a channel called "Gladys and Kenny." They are a couple who have decided to travel the World. They make good-quality videos, but not in a bragging sort of way.
I recommend this place. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food.
The good reviews led us to this pub after a very long muddy walk at Pamber Forest with my dog and a friend. Unfortunately we did not feel welcome, it didn’t feel warm. It felt snubby like “local pub for local people”.
It was quiet when we came around ~13:50 on a saturday afternoon. I asked if they are serving lunch, i was told they stopped serving food at 2.. (checked my watch and it was only less than 10min to two). We were also told they only accept cash. It would help if they put somehere in the details to say only accepts cash. I would have gone with cash in hand!
Overall, just very disappointed…the lady behind the bar came across like she did not want to serve us. We were desparate for drinks or just water as we were walking for ~10kms and got lost in the way just to get to this pub. Shame.
Very good local pub with a friendly atmosphere. The decor is classic old school, the are 2 very nice, old looking wood burning stoves. The bar staff were friendly enough and the beers on tap were very reasonably priced, especially for a pub down south!
We went on a Friday and it was busy, but I think that adds to the atmosphere, but turn up early to get a table if you're a big group.
I will definitely be returning on the not too distant future and recommending this pub to friends and family.
Oh, and it is cash only, so come prepared.
One of the best pubs in my neck of the woods - just a little too far away to be a regular unfortunately. Completely unspoiled country hostelry always offering a warm welcome, excellent ales and food in the cosiest of "olde worlde" interiors. I'll be back. Also a favourite venue for the Kennet Morris Men, and Terry, mine host, seems to like us too!
Cash only. If you are not local you’d likely to be turned away to be told they only accept cash.
Somewhere here must say this pub only takes cash so people are aware and bring cash with them. It’s frustrating to finally get to here but turned away because they don’t take cards!
