    The place is lovely service very good the only complaint we had was the beef was very tough and I left it. Lovely veggies if it wasn't for the beef I would've given 5 stars. E.g. if I'd had the turkey it would've been 5 stars. Have been here lots of times and this is the first time I've had to complain

    My husband, for his Sunday lunch roast ordered pork and I had turkey. When our meals arrived, my husband’s meal had a pork chop instead of slices of pork. The cabbage/kale? Was sliced so thin it was hard to pick up with a fork and seemed undercooked. Usually our meals at The Plough have been very good, no issue at all but this was disappointing.
