I booked this pub, to finish off the good week I had with my best mate,and my Husband joined us(after travelling on his motorbike)..The thing I loved was everyone was friendly, happy to help...as iit was a humid night(8th Sept),we decided to eat our dinner outside...The waitress came to our table within 15 mins,she told us what was on the menu, what the specials were..phil(my Husband) had baked camebert to start, Carly and I decided we'd just order the main course, I had pie n mash, with gravy n mixed veg, Carly ad steak n chips, and Phil had this burger (it was massive)... I LOVED my pie..it was bloody tasty..phils burger fell apart,but he also said it was far more tasty than just an average burger, and Carly couldn't stop saying (um nomnomnom). I said I wanted desert, and Phil and carly didn't think I'd manage it, BUT...I devowed a lemon mousse, with cream..and it was so nice even licked the plate clean. A beautiful Pub, which was only a 10 minute walk away from Rutland campsite... I was excited on the walk back, we saw 4 bats, and an owl. All I can say is....if you're ever lucky enough to stay at Rutland campsite, YOU'VE GOT TO GO TO THE PLOUGH...you will not be disappointed Strangers actually talk to each other, not like back here in Essex.. I can now see why my best mate, said that being around Rutland Waters it's so peaceful, and I actually get it.....I'm coming back hopefully very...
Read moreStood out as the best place we visited ,during a mini-break in the, area; and we visited lots of good places. Home from home, traditional pub, with very welcoming and accomodating staff. Small, but great, selection of ales. Lots of wines, the one offered to my partner tasted great. Vibrant amtoshere, and friendly locals. The Plough is situated in a lovely picturesque village. Onto the food.. A small menu (a good thing) serving traditional pub dishes. We went for the roast beef sunday dinner. Absoloutely delicious. Suculant melt in the mouth roast beef, delicious thick, creamy mash. Perfectly cooked, flavoured and seasoned vegetables. Gorgeous, crunchy flavoursome Yorkshire pudding. Only fault was, being from Yorkshire, not enough gravy was served, however the staff had no problem proving more. If you are in the area and have not been yet, then give it a try. Easy parking, dog & kid friendly. Lots of outdoor seating, nice...
Read moreFirstly I want to say I thoroughly recommend The Plough, it could easily be 5* so in a sense you could say I'm about to pedantic and mean!! We both had lovely meals and the waitress serving us was extremely pleasant, however where it all went wrong was, we were ready to go, I'd asked for our bill and didn't think that was much of a problem, but it seemed to slip her mind, I thought she was busy, apparently not according to my wife and the other problem we were experiencing was were then finding the seats uncomfortable. So quite simply had we had our bill within a few minutes which honestly should have happened, we wouldn't have been so uncomfortable at all and I'd have happily given 5*, sometimes it's the little things that matter...
