Our first visit to The Plough Inn, Wreay was most enjoyable. Situated in a lovely, peaceful village, the pub came highly recommended and did not disappoint. The menu was varied with Specials as well as regular dishes all at reasonable prices. The helpings were sufficiently substantial that we did not have room for desserts. The service was extremely courteous, efficient and unobtrusive. We would highly recommend The Plough if you want a delicious, value-for-money dining out experience.

Food was extremely greasy, to the point it made us feel ill, therefore we left our mains half eaten. Staff seemed to be unsure of what they were doing, and likely understaffed - which led to a long wait for anything. We were then overcharged for drinks- not deliberate I’d hope, but due to lack of staff training. Disappointed as this was for a special occasion

Fully recommend. Excellent all round. The time we had booked for, the pub had actually stopped serving food, but they accommodated us anyway and served us an amazing Sunday roast dinner. Hot, plentiful and delicious food. Staff really friendly and helpful. Will definitely eat here again.

A short notice booking for four. Was met with pleasant helpful staff. A selection of mains were ordered all freshly prepared and enjoyed. Nice hand pulled beers and Gin sampled. All in a friendly atmosphere of a local country pub. Wil be going again in near future.

Excellent - couldn’t fault the food or the service. We asked for a meal that is usually served only at lunchtime and they went out of their way to provide this for 2 of our party. The staff are so welcoming and can’t do enough for you. We will definitely be back!
