Blue Scrumpy left this review about Plough Inn
Probably the best of Ratby's (open) pubs. This one felt like a rural pub and possessed a bit of character. The interior has low beams, whitewashed walls and a mixture of laminate flooring and carpet. A back room had what looked like a band or perhaps a music group setting up. That room also contained a dartboard and a covered up pool table, as well as a couple of games machines. Music was playing before they started and a few board games were available to play including Scrabble and Shut The Box. There are 3 other small rooms, 2 of which were occupied.
Pedigree is the regular cask ale. Directors was also on, with 2 spare handpulls, 1 with another turned Pedigree clip. Ciders were Inch's & Old Mout. Service was from a friendly and welcoming young barman. There is a garden and a large car park to the rear.

Slightly brighter with a lower room I don't recall from previous – a slight mismatch between the modern and the faded traditional between the two. Courage Directors and a decent Pedigree (NBSS 3). Local’s place, worth a nose.

A strange little place. Off the main the road, not really next to anything and with no discernible frontage. It’s a Marstons house with what’s best described as a ‘wraparound’ multi-area’d interior, traditionally decorated with a 70's vibe (woodchip ceiling and artex style walls…!). Three ales from Marstons, sadly my Saddle Tank was flat and fusty (NBSS 2, just). There was a nice avuncular middle-aged vibe inside with some excellent overheard conversations and if I’d have had longer I might have tried the Pedigree to see if some extra points could be salvaged as it felt like a decent place to be.

This pub has reopened after a refurbishment we went in here on 18 June 2011 and some locals said it had been open for a few days.
The Plough is a strange looking pub with no real frontage,the pub is just off the main street and very close to the Bulls Head.
Once inside there was a smartish room that had a bar this was carpeted and had bench type seating there was another room that was up a step this did'nt have that many seats in it and to the right down a few steps was a sports type room all these rooms were open to each other but still seemed like seperate rooms.
This pub is a Martons tied house and there were six real ales on the bar, the side we drank in had three pumps and i had a drink of Pedigree and this was a very nice well kept drink the other beers were Marstons Burton bitter, Jennings Cumberland, Hobgoblin and a seasonal from Wychwood,the landlord did tell me what beers were on the other side but i forgot one.
There was a mixed bunch of people in here of all ages and i thought it was a decent enough pub.
