Bowleys at The Plough
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Community owned pub offering carefully crafted classics."
Overview
The Plough is a charming sage green village pub with a modern dining venue called Bowleys. Inside, it’s bright and stylish, with low grey painted beams, bare wood tables, turquoise fabric seats, and old photos and other pictures on the walls. The bar side has a similar feel but more casual. Friendly, chatty and well informed service.
