The Plough Is one of the very few pubs left in Radford a short walk up from the busy Ilkeston road. Located in the back streets this is a very bad place to go walking at night but there is a lot of student accommodation nearby which is a little more inviting than it otherwise would be. This is the brewery tap for the Nottingham Brewery which brews at the back of the pub and you can often see casks staked up high when walking past. The pub is very traditional in decor with nice carpets and wallpaper. There is a centrally located bar that serves the main bar and lounge from either side. There is also a nice long grassy beer garden with many long benches that is great in the summer to relax and enjoy a beer. Being the brewery tap you can expect a large proportion of the eight pumps. Beer available on my visit were Legend £2.90, EPA £2.95, Sooty Stout £3.10, Rock Bitter £2.90, Rock Mild £2.90 and a guest beer in the form of Osset Brewery’s Inception for £2.90 with the rest of the pumps being duplicated or empty. My pint of Legend was absolutely fabulous and the best pint of this beer I have had anywhere and I do tend to drink it fairly often when it is available which makes it a steal at £2.90. It was very quiet on my Thursday evening visit with what looked like a dedicated bunch of regulars but more came later on when they had a quiz. They were also giving out free ham and pea soup to all punters on this cold November night, try getting that kind of experience in any modern bar. We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience visiting here and the beer was second to none, undisputed best pub in Radford and because of its real ale focus keeps most of the less desirable people off the estate away. I hope this place goes from strength to strength as it is a great pub that would be fantastic if a little busier and not having to walk Radford in the dark to get to it. A definite visit.

I have been in here many times in the last 8 years and can't believe I haven't reviewed it. My last visit was 03/11/17, the place hadn't changed, the beer was still great as was the bar banter and the darts. Always decent Nottingham Brewery beers as you would expect from the tap. Well worth the hike from the city centre, or get a bus to drop you off nearby.

The Plough is situated in the back streets of radford where there were once lots of pubs.
When i first went in this pub it was a Whitbread tied house with keg Whitbread Tankard on the bar,things have improved a lot since then.
The pub has still got two rooms with the bar to the right this has got a stone floor and normal tables and chairs,the lounge is to the left this room is carpeted and had comfortable bench seating with chairs,this is the room we had a drink in,there was a real fire on the go as it was quite cold for early May.
There were 8 real ales on the bar 7 from Nottingham brewery and one guest beer i had a few pints of Rock bitter which was in perfect condition the other beers were Nottingham Rock mild, Legend, Supreme, EPA, Foundary mild and Centurian mild the one guest beer was Dancing Duck Gold.
The pub does cobs and sandwiches to order i had a ham salad sandwich which was very nice the cheese and onion ones looked nice also.
I really enjoyed my time in here and could have happily stayed all day.
