The Plough isn't your average countryside pub. Sitting on a quiet lane in a quintessentially English village, The Plough was set to be sold off the developers when 120 members of the community came together to invest, and save, their local. After its purchase and renovation, the Yates family took over the kitchen and opened the pub's small, but proud, restaurant, Bowleys. Head Chef Alex Yates is still very early on in his career but though only in his early twenties, he has already spent two years in the kitchens at The Goring Hotel in London, as well as having gained experience with Rick Stein and even once cooking for the Queen. Bowleys menus have a traditional feel and adhere to classic, English fare with a fine dining twist. There are several options to choose between including a tasting menu, set lunch, a la carte, brunch and Sunday lunch. The tasting menu is the jewel in Bowleys crown and consists of five courses, with an optional sixth.

    Stunning food at a really reasonable price for the level of quality. The Jerusalem artichokes were a particularly enjoyable dish unlike anything I’d eaten before. Wine flight excellent value too with two glasses of sparkling wine to begin! With only ten covers, as a diner you just have to prepare yourself for how intimate the restaurant is. The modern music playing disguises conversations from other tables well and a table of six provided plenty of atmosphere but I suspect that if five couples were dining it might feel a little intense. Overall a brilliant meal though; my favourite meal for a few years.

    I hadn't been to Bowleys for a few months, it was so nice to come back and see the standards are still so high. The wait staff were lovely and just the right amount of attentive. A real credit to the place. The food was delicious and I thought the set menu was great value. We had 3 kids on the table, all had the fried chicken from the bar menu and it was demolished. Great meal, look forward to returning.
