The Plough Inn — Restaurant in Cotswold District

Came here on a Tuesday a few weeks ago. Unfortunately it was quite a disappointment. The website shows a sample menu which looks pretty good and the pictures of the food looks decent. However when we arrived they had a 'pizza night' on. The range of pizzas was 3 pizzas long (one wasn't being served), fries and chicken strips, all rather expensive.
