After a lovely summer's day walk around Shustoke Reservoir, the night begins to draw in; but you don't want to go home yet, and you're too tired to travel far. Where can you go to that's close? Well The Plough is just opposite the lake, and serves food, so that's a perfect positioning to grab a meal and a drink.
The back area is a restaurant, and serves mainly roast dinners. I had a turkey roast from here, which cost £7. It looked great, but unfortunately, the meat wasn't as flavourful as I hoped, and it was a little dry. Other than the meat, the vegetables were very fresh and delicious. The service at the restaurant area is very proficient, and staff are highly friendly.
The pub itself is another old-fashioned, low-ceiling building, that is packed full of little ornaments. The drinks aren't of the greatest selection, but there are a few high end unusual brandy's. The clientele are a little too clicky for my liking, and they do stare over at you quite a lot, which is a little unwelcoming to new punters. read more
