The Plough - South Holland

Our lovely friends treated us to tea out and what a lovely meal we had. Mini crab cakes for me, Scampi for him. Extremely tasty and the home made coleslaw was delicious and worthy of a mention. Portion size is big so go hungry! Great atmosphere, very welcoming. Our first visit but we will return. Sunday lunch next time!

We tried this pub for an evening meal, wanting to support the new owners at a local pub. Unfortunately the landlord was only interested in chatting to his mate and it seemed a great inconvenience when he had to come over and serve us a drink, let alone show us to a table. The landlady tried harder, but it was a bit disconcerting to hear the only vegetarian/vegan option be described as for weirdos . Much of the limited menu was unavailable as it had been prepared several days before and some options had run out. What we had was bland and tasteless. The emphasis was fairly on quantity over quality. We weren 't able to wash away the taste with another drink as the landlady couldn 't take our order due to having to serve the one other table of diners. She shouted over to the landlord who never came to take our order. And if you thought they were rude about vegetarians, you should hear their views on foreigners! Positively backward. Won 't be going back.

I stopped off at The Plough when I was staying nearby on my way to Norfolk. Bill and Jane made me very welcome, stopped to chat to me and presented me with a cracking chicken Caesar salad and a pint of Tydd Steam ale. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Unexpected, spontaneous lunch time visit on Monday 29th July with five others on an outing from local nursing home. We couldn't negotiate the step down to the beer garden and entrance with wheelchairs and electric wheelchair so, instead of turning us away, the landlord and landlady set us up with a table and chairs in a shady spot in the car park. Brilliant! Normally quiet on a Monday, this one was particularly busy but this was no problem, even though re flooring was planned and business was not expected to be brisk! Great food, sensible portions, kind and considerate service; all good we will return!

We arrived at this Fenland pub on a Monday lunchtime with a minibus from a nearby nursing home Although Monday is apparently a slow day the staff cannot be faulted. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was excellent, I haven't had and enjoyed a fishfinger buttie so much for years! Definitely a return is on the cards and can genuinely recommend a visit!
