The Plough in Rotherham

Ah, The Plough – it's one of those classic community pubs in Rotherham that you might stumble upon after a day out shopping or catching the train. I've got to say, it's got some real charm going for it; the live sports setup is brilliant, with plenty of screens showing everything from Premier League footy to horse racing, making it a top choice if you're up for cheering on the team with a cold pint in hand. The drinks deals are spot on too – inexpensive and with offers that make you feel like you've got a bargain, which is always a win in my book. Plus, being so conveniently placed near the main stations and with free parking around, it's easy to drop in without any hassle. On the flip side, though, it's not all rosy; some reviews mention the toilets being absolutely minging and flies everywhere, which can really kill the vibe. And if the bar staff are in a mood, they might come off as a tad arrogant, which isn't what you want when you're just trying to enjoy a quiet drink. Oh, and it's a bit of a letdown that they don't do food, so you'd have to plan ahead if you're after more than just liquids. All in all, it's a decent spot for what it is, but it'd be even better with a bit of TLC on the facilities – worth a visit if you're in the area, but maybe keep your expectations in check.
