What Louise T likes about The Plough Inn:
I stopped by for a drink last night and was warmly welcomed. I can't wait to come back again. The restaurant also has a beautiful garden area, perfect for enjoying the charm of the old town. View all feedback. What richardsmith7474 doesn't like about The Plough Inn:
Could be a great place but the lack of enthusiasm of the bar staff is appalling. The lady clearly doesn’t seem to be in the right job. Closes at 7 if not busy. Plenty of better places to spend your money nearby. View all feedback.

Popped in here tonight on my own to get out of my B&B after passing it earlier in the day. This is a super little bar with a good range of Arkells (and other) b...

Nestled in Old Town, this restaurant offers a lively atmosphere with a mix of charm and challenges. While many patrons praise its welcoming staff, beautiful garden, and vibrant events like quiz nights, recent visits reveal inconsistencies in service and availability. Guests have noted a decline in enthusiasm and product availability, such as wine glasses and cheese boards. Nonetheless, the cozy ambiance, extensive menu featuring local produce, and occasional live music keep the potential high. For those seeking a casual night out with friends, it still holds promise, although improvements in service and consistency could enhance the experience.
