About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Set in the picturesque village of West Hanney,This beautiful thatched pub offers great british pub classics, and small plates, with a vibrant pub atmosphere. This community owned business has new tenants who have been lucky to win a fair few awards in their time.
The Plough is the ultimate country pub and offers an incredible atmosphere and dining experience. Housed in a stunningly thatched public house, customers can choose to eat in the beautiful eatery, in the cosy bar by the fire or in the beautiful sun trapped garden.
With a passion for supporting farmers, the kitchen sources food from the very best local farms, knowing where each item comes from, from farm to plate. Owain even uses the produce from his family farm in Wales! Cooking is modern British and menus change daily depending on what is fresh and seasonal - Luke is particularly passionate about his small plates menu, ensuring that th plough is something for everyone.

    First off staff were amazing. Very welcoming and attentive. Starters were good, I had the baked beans on toast, very tasty, my husband had the soup. My husbands main was good (burger) but it was all sadly let down by my main, fish and chips. The batter was not crispy , a bit soggy and the chips were very floury and none of it tasted of much even after I put salt on it. Had it not been for the fish and chips I would have obviously scored higher

    My friend and I went for a light lunch as a break from work. We both had ‘small plates’ which were a perfect size for us and also perfect presented. It was my friend’s first time here and she wanted to check the place out. She loved it and will be booking again at a later date!!

    Great food and service especially as we were a large party - and pretty ebullient! Luke’s innovative ‘small plates’ and starters are a big hit with guests visiting The Plough with us. And as ever friendly, efficient service and made very welcome.
