The Plough, Oakham

A welcome antidote to the Club up the road, this is a pretty, traditional place. Situated on a bank, so it’s up a few steps to enter the small, cosy and carpeted L shaped bar, with a dining room off left. Three ales available; Ruddles (how few we saw in what was the former county home!), GK IPA and Woodfordes Wherry, which the barman (who was actually the chef!) pulled through and we were rewarded with a good fresh beer. Bit of banter with chef and we felt welcomed. To the rear is a decent garden. A nice little place, and my companions were even more enthused – got nominated by them as one of the pubs of the county. Not far off the A1 either, so worth you taking a quick detour to sample. 7.5
