Harden's survey result
Summary
“The Plough has been providing weary travellers with refreshments since 1498” and “current owners Richard & Lindsey Johns are the latest publicans to proudly continue this time-honoured tradition” (having built quite a name in this area already via e.g., the Hovingham Inn, and Artisan, Hessle). “Richard lovingly transforms the best produce Yorkshire has to offer into hearty, carefully considered dishes, preparing and cooking everything from scratch”, while “Lindsey ably oversees the warmest of Yorkshire welcomes to their guests in a cosy and welcoming setting” that’s certainly worth wombling over to Wombleton to visit.
Summary
“One to watch” from “the proprietors ex-of Hovingham Inn” (seasoned restaurateurs Richard & Lindsey Johns, who have a strong following dating back even further, to the days of the Artisan in Hessle). One diner who has “long been a fan” claims that “in their current venue” (a 15th-century boozer) “Richard is back on fine form with delicious, freshly cooked offerings” (hearty British dishes that don’t stint on Yorkshire generosity), and “Lindsey as ever is the charming face of the business” – a positive opinion shared by the Estrella Damm crew, who welcomed it into their top UK gastropubs list just three months after opening.
For 34 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).
