About This Pub

Ah, the Plough – it's one of those classic pubs that's been around since 1924, part of the McMullen family, and it really does have that timeless appeal with its relaxed surroundings and community feel. From what I've gathered from the reviews and details, it's spot on for a laid-back evening; you can pop in for a pint of their local ales, catch some live sports on the telly, or even enjoy a bit of live music if it's on. The beer garden sounds like a real gem, perfect for soaking up the sun with the dog in tow or bringing the kids along, and it's all served up with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. On the flip side, though, a few folks have mentioned the drink choices are a bit narrow, especially if you're not keen on their main ale or fancy something beyond the usual lagers, which might leave you wanting more options. And let's be honest, it doesn't always hit the mark for a lively night out – some evenings it's a bit subdued, so if you're after a place that's always buzzing, you might need to plan around their events. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual get-together, and with that 4.2 rating, most people seem to leave with a smile, but keeping an eye on what's on could make for the best experience.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The Plough has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it feel like a proper local spot where you can relax and chat with mates.
  • They've got a great selection of drinks, including locally brewed real ales, cocktails, wines, and world lagers, which really adds to the traditional pub charm.
  • It's fantastic for catching live sports or enjoying entertainment like live music – always something on to keep things lively.
  • The beer garden is a lovely spot, especially on a sunny day, and it's dog-friendly and welcoming for families, which is brilliant for a casual outing.
  • Prices are moderate, so you won't break the bank, and the staff come across as genuinely friendly and helpful based on what folks have said.
Cons
  • The ale selection is a bit limited, which might disappoint if you're after more variety beyond the standard options like AK Mild.
  • It can feel a tad quiet at times, especially on certain evenings, so if you're hoping for a buzzing atmosphere every visit, it might not always deliver.
  • Some reviews mention it's mostly stuck with fizzy lagers and not much else, which could make it less exciting for those seeking a wider range of brews.

Disappointing that the ale choice is very limited, if you don't like AK Mild then not worth a visit. This could be a fantastic little pub with a good choice of ales but instead is stuck with standard fizzy lagers and nothing else. McMullens should do better.
