The Plough - Daventry

We dropped in here totally unplanned on the way back from Everdon Stubbs woods. It was a real hidden gem and we were so impressed. The staff were really polite and friendly, and couldn't be happier to tweak the menu for my partner who is coeliac and can't have gluten. We both went for two courses and the food was among the best I've eaten anywhere. Good portions, not cheap, but really delicious and interesting choices. I'd go here again in a heartbeat.

The quality and quantity of a Roast beef and Yorkshire Sunday lunch could not have been bettered on Father's day yesterday. Wonderful selection of English vegetables, huge slices of pink roast beef and lashings of gravy. Excellent traditional fare. The menu offered a very interesting selection so I chose 2starters...a salmon and crayfish fish cake and asparagus on a bed of creamed smoked cod's roe. Also Excellent. Service top-notch. Maitre d'hote very attentive. Our only criticism is of the table next to us. In a very crowded small room.....gosh,they did talk loudly! Seated in the corner of the room, Iwasn't aware any music was playing and certainly couldn't hear what my friend was saying.

Glad to see this pub reopened, but not a fan of the new setup. The old landlords always had local beers available so was disappointed to see the generic national choices now available on the bar. Most people seemed to be crowded around the bar with the room around the corner having 2 tables made up for dining and then the rest of the room taken up by people's dogs. Managed to squeeze into a low table after shooing one of the dogs away. Then more dogs came in, each thinking it was acceptable to come right up to my face as I was sitting attempting to enjoy my drink. Luckily we didn't order any food as I cannot imagine it is very hygienic with that amount of dogs sticking their noses on your table. Prices were on the high side and I cannot think of any reasons why we would return.

David and staff Many thanks for providing a fabulous end to an evening with my friends. 16 0f us new to the Plough couldn't believe how good the food, and ambiance were! Expecting many will come back for more. Jas

Went here today lovely setting. Not far from Everdon Stubbs which is beautiful and another reason to go. Only back open a year very nicely done up with a lovely garden that is just having some extra work done. Service great, even though there wasn’t any vegan options I asked if they had anything I could have and they offered me a couple of lovely options. Flat bread with tofu and salad and a nice drizzle of balsamic. It was a starter size which was fine by me. I had tea to drink which they did have any plant milk for but I always take some with me so that still work for me. My husband had the Sunday dinner which he said was good. The only negative is only a little parking at the front so we parked a little way down the road. Don’t think this is something that they can change as it is a small village pub with nowhere to add the space.
