   My wife and I visited the plough at Shiplake as a birthday treat. We really enjoyed the food and drink. The staff were very friendly and professional. It was a very cosy environment which was perfect for us. Highly recommend. Thank you to our waiter who made our evening feel special.

   Menu choices very good. Very pleasant venue although it was challenging to find the large car park in the dark! We were not a bit under pressure-first in, last out! We would definitely return.

   Really lovely warm welcome and speediness to direct you to your table. Twice we have had the corner table which is very close to the fire so you need to enjoy the heat if you sit there. Food menu is limited but I happen to think in general this is a good thing for everyone. I expect the food offered to be of the best quality as the chefs do not have an abundance of meals to prepare so the ones they do serve need to be spot on. A good Sunday roast is normally filling enough so we had a couple of small plates instead of a starter. Bothe croquettes one ham and one cauliflower. The creamy oozing cauliflower one was top notch and the ham one was ok but I felt it was very salty so maybe for some too much. I had the porchetta roast and it was absolutely knockout. Really cooked well with crispy crackling and divine roast potatoes. An offering of vegetables a mix of carrot, broccoli and leeks was for me spot on. I struggled to finish my plate and unheard of I left a roast potato! A glass of wine, a couple of bottles of water and coffee is not cheap but if you want to come away feeling as though you have enjoyed a treat that many think they can do better at home think again. I would go back again next sunday.

   Cocktails tailored for us (including a smoked old fashioned and a old fashioned with mescal), amazing food (sharing starters - worth having just for brioche and salted butters, mouth watering short rib and bavette ending with beautiful and delicious desserts); fantastic wine - really spoilt for choice, topped with friendly service with expert knowledge. Gets better every time we come. Best restaurant in Henley area by mile.
