About This Pub

Ah, The Plough on the Moor – it's one of those places in Stockport that just feels inviting from the moment you walk in, with its quirky charm and homely atmosphere making it ideal for a laid-back afternoon or evening out. I've got to say, the food really shines; whether it's the mouthwatering nachos or that Sunday lunch sharing feast, it's all about solid, tasty dishes that hit the spot without breaking the bank. The team behind the bar are an absolute delight, always on hand with a friendly chat and quick service that makes you feel right at home. It's particularly good for families, as they handle kids' meals with ease and keep everything running smoothly. On the flip side, though, there are a couple of things that might not sit well – like when portions feel a tad small, or if you run into a kitchen staff member who's not up for a simple tweak to your order, which can be a bit frustrating. Overall, it's more restaurant-y than your average boozer, so if you're after a proper traditional pub experience, it might not quite fit the bill, but for a memorable meal and a good catch-up, it's well worth a visit. Just remember to book in advance to avoid any disappointments!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is absolutely lovely – it's got that warm, homely vibe that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates or a family meal.
  • The staff are top-notch; they're friendly, attentive, and really go the extra mile to make your visit enjoyable, like serving up a smile with every drink.
  • The food hits the spot with flavoursome options, from amazing nachos to a cracking Sunday lunch feast – it's all about good, hearty British pub grub.
  • It's a great spot for all occasions, whether you're popping in for a lazy lunch or a family dinner, and they accommodate kids really well.
Cons
  • Some portions can feel a bit stingy, like the gravy servings that might leave you wanting more, especially with a big roast.
  • There are occasional hiccups with the kitchen staff; one review mentioned a chef who wasn't too keen on custom requests, which could put a dampener on things.
  • It sometimes feels more like a fancy restaurant than a traditional pub, which might not suit if you're after a no-fuss pint and chat.
  • Booking ahead is a must, as it can get busy, and you don't want to miss out or end up disappointed.

Great Sunday lunch sharing feast but definitely requires larger gravy serving! Great atmosphere and attentive staff. Highly recommended.

5 stars for drinks and for service from the lovely barmaid. 1 star for the chef who wouldn't serve a bit of extra beef with the roast dinner, which made me go elsewhere (I was willing to pay extra, of course). He had a look of disgust on his face like I'd just finger-banged his cat when she asked.

This is a nice venue and it is bigger than I anticipated. The food was good but the service is absolutely brilliant. The staff really go out of their way to make your visit as enjoyable as possible.

This use to call this a "Good all round pub."... It not a "pub" any more. More of a fancy restaurant! Food was really nice and service was very good. They were accommodating for kids and were quick to get the kids food. We spent £60 for 2+1 kid and a bottle of wine. Make sure you book a table before going.
