    We met up with a family member for lunch here last weekend. We had prebooked our table, and it was getting busy when we went inside, so we were glad we had booked. Our reserved table was all ready and waiting for us. It took a while for someone to come over and ask if we wanted any drinks, and quite a while for someone to come and take our order. However, we had been in the pub much earlier and had reserved two of the main courses (two fish dishes) for ourselves, as we know they go quickly. And we were glad we had done that as we had specifically wanted fish rather than any of the meat options. Once we had ordered, it did take rather a long time for our 3 meals to appear, so I went up to the bar and asked - apparently they had had a group of 10 in a rear room, so that was keeping them busy! When the meals arrived, they were all piping hot and looked delicious, but I was disappointed with mine - the board had said "Lemon sole with a butter bean and tomato sauce, so I knew I would have to take out the butter beans. It turned out that the "butter beans" were actually "black eyed beans" (which I dislike even more and had to leave most of the sauce and just eat my fish. The fish, however, was delicious - the skin was lovely and crisp, just how I like it. My husband really enjoyed his meal of the Halibut, which he said was really well cooked. As we didn't have any potatoes, we ordered a side salad each instead, but these were very disappointing - just a small bowl of undressed leaves (rocket, spinach) with a couple of slices of cucumber, nothing else - hardly a mixed salad - and without any dressing. I asked for some dressing and it was duly brought to our table in a jug, but it didn't really taste like home-made dressing ... Our cousin really enjoyed his fish, chips and mushy peas. Having said all the above, though, we did linger at our table for a good hour or two, and they were very happy for us to do so. The bill was quite high for just 3 main courses!

    The perfect pub. Roaring fire with sofas around it when you walk in, little rooms off the side for a quiet dinner, and just such a great atmosphere. The food was fantastic but the real charm was the service. The owner and staff were so friendly and kind, joking with the kids and warm and welcoming. There were lots of regulars but we felt like one too. Will definitely go back when we are in the area.

    Staff were great and very accommodating to our fussy eaters. Sadly we were crammed into the corner of the bar, surrounded by loud and local drinkers along with dogs. The pub clearly is the heart of the village, but didn’t give us the dining experience we were hoping for.

    What a lovely find, we had a really lovely time here. The staff were wonderful, attentive, but not too attentive. The dinner, I had the belly pork was scrummy, and generous.

    The food here is comparable to that served in the top London restaurants. We eat there at least every couple of months and it never fails to please.

    We had a very nice time at the Plough Inn Finstock. We arrived a few minutes before it opened and we were welcomed in early. We had a pint of beer and some baguettes and chips and it was all delicious. Service was great, the place has a very nice vibe, we left happy. Thank you!
