About Us

Since taking over The Plough Inn in January 2017, Paul & Emma and the team have earned an outstanding reputation for hospitality, winning several industry accolades including Punch Publicans of the Year 2023 and Great British Pub Awards 2023. These achievements reflect the dedication and passion that continue to shape everything they do.

The Plough is a traditional Grade II listed, thatched-roof pub set in the heart of Prestbury. Its beautifully maintained one-acre garden features a peaceful stream, extensive outdoor seating, a unique boules pitch, and a small children’s play area — creating the perfect setting for relaxing with family and friends.

In 2020, the pub expanded with the addition of a stunning Garden Room, which has now been connected to a spacious shared patio with the new Barn. Construction finished in November 2025 transforming the pub with a modern twist whilst still inkeeping with the historical architecture.  These versatile spaces are ideal for celebrations, private gatherings, and special occasions, all enjoyed alongside local drinks, homemade food, and warm hospitality.

Traditional cider and cask ales remain at the heart of The Plough experience. Real ale is served directly from the casks via a small hatch behind the bar, preserving the authentic charm of a classic country pub. Inside, guests can still enjoy the famous tap room, complete with cosy seating and a roaring open fire during the winter months.

In summer, The Plough’s now-infamous Cider Festival transforms the garden into a lively celebration of live music, dancing, entertainment, and great cider — a highlight of the local calendar each year.

The Plough prides itself on being dog friendly. There are plenty of fresh water bowls and even treats behind the bar for your canine companions.

Paul, Emma & the team at The Plough look forward to welcoming you soon.
