Description

Richard and Lindsey Johns are experience operators in this part of the world. For their latest project, they’ve taken on this attractive 16th-century inn situated between the Howardian Hills and the North York Moors. There’s plenty of character to the place, from the beamed ceiling to the roaring fire for winter and beer garden for summer. Chef Richard offers hearty dishes that are classically and wholly enjoyable, like a generous pork chop cooked with evident skill. Lindsey looks after every table with a genuine warmth and personal touch.

Review summary

The Plough in Lichfield holds a 4.0/5 average rating. Food highlights include fish and chips, steak and ale pie, and generous portions, though Sunday roast beef was criticized as dry and faggots as overly saucy. Service is generally friendly and efficient, handling large groups well, but instances of slow drink orders and staff chatting were noted. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, suitable for canal walks. Value is considered reasonable by most, despite some mixed feedback on portion-to-price ratios.

Best for

Suitable for visitors seeking a comfortable traditional pub experience near the canal.
