Harden's survey result
Summary
A “best-kept secret” – although enough locals know about it to ensure that it’s “always busy” – this gastropub is “really consistent and thoroughly enjoyable”: “I’ve never had a bad meal at the Old Plough.” A 300-year-old listed building, it was formerly used as a courthouse.
Summary
“Tasty pub grub in a buzzy atmosphere”, a “great” outside space (a boon during the high watermark of the pandemic) and “very lovely staff” are among the charms of this former courthouse, whose rich heritage includes a role hosting Sherlock Holmes and his doctor-sidekick Watson in 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band’.
For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
