April 2014. Plough shut for 6 mos we hear - structural changes needed.
Also ownership changes needed. Current owners - Scot+Newcastle/ Heinekin ? ? - have permitted a series of incompetent and incalable tenants and managements over about 10 years.
An opportunity to put it right next time.
Refurb the pub, toilets car park, kitchen and possibly accommodation. Maintain the cellar.
Then put in management who have the money, wit and all other necessary resources to run it properly - so many customers driven away by the Freehold owners installing hopeless organisation time after time.
Hopefully English Heritage and the council won't permit it it be knocked down for housing . . . Await it's re- opening with baited breath

Service is cerainly more consistent since S+N took over so adverse comments before April 2009 are not as big an issue. Current Manageress v. much on the ball and keeeps an eye open to good effect.
Pretty consistent beer now . .
Good pub -
