Sorry, but the food was appalling - cold meats, over-cooked veg, undercooked pigs in blankets and far too much on plate. "Starter" - watery breaded mushrooms -eventually served with main course, not before: the clue should be in the word "starter". Order messed up with one out of the two customers left to wait while the other ate. Wine served only fit for cooking purposes. Yes, price reasonable, had the food been ok, but would rather pay more for a modicum of enjoyment. Other local pubs do well by serving quality fare. We left most of our food and repaired to Colston Bassett, for a decent bottle of wine in a pub garden.

Had a great evening last night, first visit to The Plough catching up with friends from different counties close to Leicestershire. Eve provided excellent service, very helpful and patient with our group.
Thank you also to Tina for making us so welcome. All our friends agreed this will become our regular catch up pub!!
