Review byKnight Hooson13/11/2007
The Plough and Harrow is a Wetherspoons pub with the usual cheap and cheerful formula. However, this is for an older crowd - where mums and dads go while the babysitter looks after the kids.

The Venue
The Plough and Harrow is attached to the Holiday Inn Express just behind it; they attract a similar clientele, so it really is a match made in heaven. There is another Wetherspoons just up the road, which is a bit rougher around the edges - this is the opposite: a bit smooth. It has a Classic FM, easy-listening feel to it. On the plus side, it is clean and large; just a bit middle-of-the-road.

The Atmosphere
The Plough and Harrow is corporate and formulaic, but perfectly functional. Wetherspoons has a recipe that works - it's just a bit dull. However, it is packed, so they are clearly doing something right.

The Food
They do a great menu at the Plough and Harrow - literally cheap as chips. A burger AND a beer for under a fiver, how can you criticise that? It must be every young working person's stopgap until payday, all the basic food groups are covered.

The Drink
Wetherspoons is a loyal supporter of small, regional breweries and they are staunch backers of the Real Ale movement, plus they have a constantly changing array of featured drinks, so there is no excuse to order Carling - even if it is barely over £2 quid a pint. Support a local brewer and extend your taste palate.

The Last Word
What the Plough and Harrow lacks in style and panache it makes up for in selection and honest pricing; both things your parents look for in a good night out.
