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.

This is by far our favourite restaurant locally. The staff are all so friendly and knowledgeable. The food is outstanding, the range of cocktails is very impressive, and they have some really special wines on the wine list. The restaurant was full, but we didn’t feel rushed at any point. Terry the proprietor is just lovely. Working hard to make sure everyone is having a good time. We honestly love it there.

Was quickly seated as we booked online, food was very generous & good quality, service was ok, but they did seem to take their time to deliver our main meal, considering we were one of the very first customers of the night & handful of customers to serve I just thought we waited a bit long, but we did really enjoy our food & evening!
