Having run a pub myself and just come out the trade it has been the first mothers day dinner I have had in years. We came for Sunday lunch for mothers day. We had a very warm welcome very polite young man behind the bar. We had a lady in a wheelchair which they helped us get down the step. This is what I call an old school pub warm welcoming and cozy. A lovely fire lit at the top. Games for the children to play with. Nothing was to much trouble. Not to mention the lovely locals which were also welcoming. Some pubs you go to you can tell the locals and they make you not feel welcome. We'll not this one. I could not fault it. All I can say don't judge a book by it's cover you might just be pleasantly surprised. Great job owners and staff you make it a great pub

We came here as a Christmas meeting point with relatives (8 of us) from a range of locations. The staff made us feel very welcome. They were friendly and accommodating and didn't rush us in any way. The food was reasonable and lovely. We would meet again here without

My partner and I just moved to the area. Having come from a miserable part of the UK (the south), Uttoxeter and its friendly people won us over. This being our local pub (very very local), we decided to pop in over the Christmas period to give it a go. The father and son working the bar were friendly and there was a real sense of "local community" among the patrons. The meals we had were very good. This pub doesn't try to go overboard in offering fancy cuisine, instead what you get is comfort food, done right. The warm fire and traditional feel is what we wanted, and during our January visit we got to stroke dogs and speak with welcoming local people. I moved up here to find "community" - this pub helped confirm I made the right move.

Very disappointed in our visit which was a family get together during the Christmas period. We weren’t from the area so had no knowledge of the pub prior to our visit. We visited for Sunday lunch and were given a list of food which wasn’t available - including Yorkshire puddings with the beef Sunday roast! Beef was the only choice of roast. The meal itself was disappointing. Vegetarian choice was limited. No choice of coffee and no decaffeinated. Worst cup of coffee we have ever had - strong and bitter. Service slow and unprofessional. We seemed to be the only ones dining which speaks for itself.

We came for food last night. We chose this place because we wanted nice food but a comfortable environment. The plough inn didn't disappoint. The service was spot on the staff couldn't do enough for you. Will definitely return.

No welcome on arrival. Had to go out our way to find someone to say we had arrived. Service was slow all night, we ended up going to the bar for more drinks as if we waited at the table we'd never have got any. Food was poor to mediocre at best. Such a shame as it's an attractive little pub, but sadly we won't be going back anytime soon.

There are less and less pubs like this. Not a chain pub and no claim to be a gastro-pub. Just freshly cooked food from local ingredients. Good beer prices with a range of lagers and cask beers. Dog friendly.

A traditional pub - have not used it for food since the covid lockdown but the menu looks simple but varied. A good range of beer and lager available. Decent crack and banter from the locals. Pub has a beer garden and car park. Gents toilets are "rustic" and require an upgrade.

My wife and I dropped in for lunch and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Excellent aperitifs, pint of pedigree for me and Sauvignon Blanc (exceptional) for my wife. Classic burger for me and sirloin for my wife superbly cooked. This was our first visit and we will definitely go here again.

Came here as a family of 5 after a family day out ahead of our 4 hour journey home. Although outside doesn’t look pleasing, the service and food was delicious.
