"Nestling in a valley this country pub houses some of the best food within an hour of London. Country restaurants often get the balance wrong and if the chef is exceptional, fall into pretentiousness. That never happens at the Plow, which is welcoming and loving."– Jeremy Irons
The Old Plow has had a chequered history but has been owned and
managed by Malcolm and Olivia Cowan for the past 19 years. Olivia
spent many years in the advertising industry in London before
having a family. Malcolm was executive head chef of Maxim's de Paris
in London when they decided to open their own business. The location and the
charm of the The Old Plow was exactly what Malcolm was looking for and provided
him with the opportunity to display his talents and his five star West End standards.
The Old Plow is listed in the Hardens Guide and has entries in both the bistro and restaurant sections of the Michelin Guide.
