Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I am a regular customer at the pub and have been for over a year, the new management are extremely welcoming and the food is always good. The menu is mostly a typical brewery chain pub menu so may not be to some gastro types'...taste but is always tasty and filling and enjoyable for me! There is nearly always space to sit somewhere quiet if needed as there are several sections of the pub and dogs are welcome with good provision of towels and mats for them.More

We visited today on August Bank Holiday Monday with 6 kids, who at the end of the summer holidays were rather loud and annoying (I’m talking about my own children). The staff were so accommodating, they were great with the kids and every member of...staff made us feel relaxed and very welcome. We are also those annoying people that have ‘dietary requirements’ and after asking a lovely female member of staff I was kindly and knowledgeably walked through the menu and given several options, which usually never happens. Service was brilliant and the food was spot on. JWL need to put more about Gluten Free dishes on the website as I always check the menu before I go anywhere, to make sure I can eat at least one dish, if I had known about all on offer I’d have been here much sooner. We’ll be back, hopefully minus the kids.More

We have been going to the Plough and Flail for 12 years and seen it go through many ups and downs. We haven't eaten here for a while, so we weren't quite sure what to expect when we ordered two Sunday roasts yesterday. I am...very happy to report that they were absolutely delicious! Definitely one of the best, if not THE best, meals we've ever had there. The food was beautifully presented and we didn't have to wait long inspite of being warned that they were busy. The staff were really friendly and the service was very efficient. We will definitely be back to eat there more often now this fantastic pub is back on form!More
