Quinno _ left this review about The Plough Inn
Traditional little backstreet pub. Opened-out a bit but the former multi-room layout still there in feel. Red perimeter banquette seating is smart and comfy whilst the bar is quite impressive with some nice wood carving and embossed green tile relief on the lower servery. Aside from a couple of splashes of the COVID paintbrush, overall it looked alright. A surprising six pumps though with just two on - the chalkboard by the bar was out of whack by two thirds - though it looks like Bass was on recently. Choices were Pedigree and Theakston Lightfoot. Not sure what was going on with my Lightfoot as the glass stunk of vinegar and the liquid’s nose was apple (NBSS 1). A terrific let-down really as I wanted to like this place, the basics are there for it to be well-worth a visit.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Plough Inn
A comfortable three roomed pub with a small patio area out the back. The pub consists of a room to the right with a Victorian cast iron fireplace with coloured patterned tiles inset, a small snug on the left and the bar area at the rear. Four handpumps with three in use, Castle Rock Harvest Pale, Bass and Pedigree.

A back street pub near the site of the former horse fair, according to a nearby historical plaque, the Plough has the feel of a village local within a stone's throw of the busy high street. There's a nice tiled fireplace in the room to the right in front of the bar, and there's another plainer room around to the left which was very pleasant. A couple of GBG stickers in the door hinted that real ale would be available, though they dated back more than ten years. There are three hand pumps on the bar, one with Pedigree, one empty (though it was quite busy on my Saturday afternoon visit) and the other serving Salopian Shropshire Gold, which was in good condition and was a very pleasant beer, apart from the aftertaste of lychees. This would be the pick of the Ashby pubs on my recent visit.
