Good value for money. The parking is behind the pub and the road surface is rough. There are no designated parking for disabled.

There is some the seating that I snot so hard and uncomfortable but they go quick. There is a steep uneven pathway up to the pub itself.

There used to be a 'Buy One Get One Free' deal, where if two adults bought a meal you would only pay for the most expensive one; however this seems to have ended now but the meals are still very reasonable (£5.99 for a full roast dinner, for example). There is an everlasting '2 for £10' deal on certain meals, so it's worth having a good look at the menu when you're there. The pub itself is nicely decorated throughout in traditional wood, with open fireplaces (although i've yet to see anyone light a fire in them). The furniture could perhaps do with updating here and there, particularly the food section, but for the most part it's all comfortable and sturdy. The toilets are well cared for and clean. The food itself is delicious, and very reasonably priced for what you get. Each meal fills the plate, and I will warn you - don't order 'The Ultimate Sundae' unless you hav hollow legs or LOTS of space after your main meal. It's HUGE! We do often have to wait around 20 - 30 minutes for a Sunday meal as the restaurant can get quite busy, but we never feel the wait with a drink in our hands. The staff are polite and efficient, and they know their products well. I've not had any beer from the bar here as I'm a whiskey drinker but from all accounts it's quite nice. Elsewhere there is ample parking, outdoor seating overlooking the marina and a whole building dedicated to a children's adventure play area, connected to the main building through a covered corridor. This pub does do events (Christmas and New Year dinners, Halloween events, parties etc), which you can enquire about inside. All in all a great pub :)

Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

The Plough & Harrow is a very old pub situated on an old Roman and London Road. It used to be an…read moreold coaching inn, and still has the old fabulous stables, redone and adding a touch of history to the place. A few years ago it was partially ruined in a flood, but the rebuild has gone a long way to making it one of the best pubs in Tamworth. It has a very large garden, lots of tables, a canopy and outside braziers for nice but chilly spring evenings. The inside has low ceilings, exposed beams and magnolia walls. It's a nice, comfy old English pub feel, but without the tatty standard maroon carpet. There aren't many tables inside, so standing is pretty much a must. The Plough & Harrow gets really busy on weekend nights, and is a haven to the young and trendy Tamworth set (you didn't know they existed, did you?) before they go on to a club. The music is pretty decent, through speakers, and so loud on weekends that talking inside isn't very plausible. The P&H also have a very nice restaurant attached, which I haven't been to, but have heard very positive reviews about -- it's mainly Italianish food with a modern twist. The pub grub here is very good, with some different things (Cajun Chicken Sandwich, YUM), and with excellent chips. I can't rave enough about these chips, which are nearly potato wedges, nicely cooked with delicious seasoning. The main bartender/manager is a really friendly guy, and all the staff are pretty chatty and nice. They often have fun activities, both for adults in the evening and families at the weekends, like an American 4th of July party (yay!), and festivals. They provide accomodation, which some of my friends from the US took advantage of when they came over for my wedding. The rooms are all refurbished and nicely laid out, with comfy beds and decent WCs. Nothing astonishing, exccept when you consider the SUPER CHEAP price. The rooms are all a bit off from the pub, so the noise level also isn't too bad.

We're glad we bothered to go a little bit off the motorway, as it was a lovely place to stop. The food was excellent- a wide variety of pub favourites and more unusual stuff at reasonable prices. The atmosphere was friendly and fairly warm, it was all beautifully clean and quite cosy inside, and it was easily worth spending the 10 minutes driving that it took to get away from Tamworth motorway services. Recommended.

The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are friendly. The pub is run by a couple who obviously care a lot about the food and ale they serve and have a good reputation in the local area. A great place to go on a sunday for a roast dinner and if you cant decide what to have they do a mixed roast so can have a bit of everything. A special favourite of mine is the steak, cheese and bacon burger. Its huge and is cooked as steak should be. They are a pub and have a pool table and a tv which usually has the latest sport on also this is away fromt he food area so you wont be distracted. There are other pubs very close toward the canal and there are lots of nice walks in the area.

A quaint English Pub backing up along the River of Tyne. This original Pub has stood since 1800, and has kept its rural charm and rustic character. I tried all of their local Ales, and all equally tasty. The food, while plain and simple, is just what is needed to satisfy the hunger brought on from the brisk fresh air of the country side. I did also notice that this is quite the hideaway for the local beauties, and as my roaming eye wondered, I found myself enjoying ALL of the local attractions.
