There is a huge pond to the right of the Plough Inn which is probably why there is a duck on the pubs hanging sign. There is some outside seating to the right of the pub and some small tables are located at the front. There is a function room that is available for hire and food is served during lunchtimes and evenings. I looked at the ‘gastro menu at the Plough’ and it all seemed rather pricey to me so I hope it is good. One thing that is good is the maximum five star rating from the ‘Scores on the Doors’ food hygiene team. To the right of the bar most of the seating is set for dining and the left is a public bar with a single high table by the front window and standing room for locals at the bar. I spotted three hand pumps that were drawing Harveys Best (x2) and Old Sussex. There is also a standard draught selection from which I enjoyed a decent Guinness served by a nice enough barman with a sarf London accent. I didn’t spot any TVs, but some old disco tunes were playing quietly in the background. There was a smell of old farts, but I didn’t mind it in here and I would have no problem returning.
