Local History & Background

The Plough Inn dates back to the c1500. It is unknown when the original part of the Pub was built, but the cellar and the stables, which are now the bar, were built in 1720 when the Plough Inn became a Coach House.

The Coach House Inn was a well-known watering hole on the ‘Welch Switch Back’ that served Ales and Ciders as well as offering accommodation and bathing facilities to cliental traveling from Wales to Birmingham. This included the drivers who would transport coal on horse and cart, they would stop over night at the Inn, tie their horses at the rear of the pub and would pay to have a bath.

Today, the cellar is still in use and has a natural watercourse that runs through the centre which keeps a perfect humidity for the Real Ales. We pride ourselves on our high standards of cellar keeping and during the summer offer a variety of eight Traditional Ales.

In recent years the plough has grown from strength to strength from serving the locals to creating a picturesque dining room and unique conservatory. We serve top quality home cooked food that is sourced locally and we are proud to say that we are......'England’s Number One Carvery'
