The Plough (or Little Plough) is a lovely little pub on the edge of the town centre (photo 1). It’s one of those rare gems that fills up soon after opening time and buzzes with conversation throughout the day.
It dates from 1934 and the original plans, displayed on the corridor wall, show that very little has changed since then. There is a corridor with doors to the public bar at the front and the lounge at the back. The public bar has its 1930s fixed seating and a wooden bar counter with art deco style horizontal banding. The lounge has stained glass windows, a serving hatch to the bar and also has original fixed seating (photo 2).
There are four real ales including Acorn Barnsley Bitter and Bradfield Farmers Blonde, plus two more changing beers from local breweries. Every Sunday there is a quiz and a prize draw, and darts and dominoes are played throughout the week. There is no food.
