The Plough Inn — Restaurant in Stratford-on-Avon

My wife and I went for a drive, with the idea of visiting Bourton on the water. However after being stuck in traffic, we gave up. We carried on driving for a while and saw a sign for the Plough Inn. We decided to give it a go. Once we drove into the little village, we didn't know what to expect. We parked next to two small tractors running outside the pub. On entering the pub, we were made to feel welcome by a few of the locals. The bar staff were currently serving guests outside, one of the locals jokingly told us that it was 'help yourself' Saturday. 😝 Whilst waiting for the staff, we were charmed by the rustic looks inside, very classic pub looks. There was also an open fire with large piece of meat turning , the smell was incredible. Once we had scanned through the menu, we both had decided on the Braised beef cheek, layered upon mash, with seasonal veg and a beef dripping sauce. When the meals came out, my wife and I were pleasantly surprised. The way the food was presented and tasted was far beyond what we had expected from this little pub. It was delightful and something we would definitely return for. We had driven from Bristol and we are already planning when to return next. Hopefully stay in an air b&b nearby, so we can enjoy an evening with the locals. Would definitely recommend and I can't thank the Pub/Staff and locals enough for our experience, thank you!

We were looking for somewhere to have dinner in the area. While travelling down Foss way we past a sign for The Plough. Thankfully Paul our driver decided to to turn round and find the pub. On a very cold wet May Bank Holiday Friday we walked in to the pub to be greeted by very nice staff and local customers. The spit Roast Chickens cooking over The warm open log fire really added to the atmosphere. For starters I plumped for the garlic King prawns my friend had the leak home made leak and potato soup with Crusty Bread and butter, and our wife's decided to go for the Olives in a balsamic dressing. For mains, we had two x half spit roast chicken with large homemade fries and coleslaw one had the Fish Fries and home made minted mushy peas and tartar sauce and one had The baked haddock new potatoes stem broccoli with a white wine Jus. We compliment the chef when he came out to baste the Spit Roast Chickens. There were wonderful selections of real Ales and wines. From the time we walked in until the time, we departed, the service was excellent. Couldn't fault a thing. A fantastic experience. Highly recommend The Plough. A good old fashioned traditional friendly...

We were in the Cotswolds for a weekend break and had left it too late to book a table for a Saturday evening meal and everywhere we called were already booked. The Plough had good reviews and so were pleased they had a table available. When we arrived we were the only ones there but recieved a pleasant welcome. We chose to order from the Festive Menu and were very pleased with the food. The starters were both well presented, tasty and filling. But best of all was the Roast Turkey main course with all the trimmings. One of the best we've ever had. Real thick slices of tasty turkey, fantastic roast potatoes and the vegetables cooked just perfectly. Even the Yorkshire Pudding was done well. Our only one criticism is that the chef had ground coarse sea salt over the plates and vegetables. Now we like salty food so wasn't a problem for us but could see that some customers may find it to much. Desserts were good and the value for money excellent. By the time we left there were more people in drinking but we were the only diners. Would certainly go back again especially for another roast...
