The Plough & Harrow Hill Top - Hednesford — Restaurant in Cannock Chase

I popped into the newly reopened Plough & Harrow Hill Top over their opening weekend, and I have to say—it’s had a truly impressive transformation. Under new ownership, the place has been beautifully refurbished with a fresh, welcoming feel that still manages to keep the charm of a great local.

The opening weekend had a brilliant buzz, helped along by some fantastic entertainment and a real sense of community spirit. It was great to see so many familiar faces enjoying themselves, and the atmosphere was spot on.

The staff deserve a special mention—they were warm, attentive, and clearly working hard to make everything run smoothly. Even with a packed house, they kept everything on track and made everyone feel welcome.

Drinks-wise, the selection is genuinely great, with something for everyone—whether you're after a classic pint, something a bit craftier, or a non-alcoholic option.

Also after beer complaint suddenly draught lager was available (con to make you buy expensive wine or guiness???) Wont be going back shocking. This after eating lunch there a few months back which was delicious. Saw one of person return a meal to the bar...

Got to say how friendly the staff are with very quick service and it's a nice small pub. We have visited a few times for drinks but had food also on this occasion, got to say won't be eating here again. It was very standard but edible and no taste. I ordered several meals and they said they ran out of certain ones but ended up with lasagne, when it arrived I was given veggie lasagne as a substitute but they didn't say anything or wasn't given an explanation !! I did eat it as didn't mind either way and it was very bland. My partner had smothered chicken and he also said it was very bland and chicken was...
