The Plough at Shenstone

The Plough at Shenstone brings the charm of a village pub together with the polish of a contemporary dining room.

Set in the idyllic Staffordshire village of Shenstone, it is known for modern, imaginative British cooking served in sumptuously decorated surroundings, with the easy warmth of a place where locals and visitors alike feel immediately at home.

Food takes centre stage, led by seasonal menus and the finest local ingredients. The kitchen riffs on British favourites while welcoming subtle global touches: think pan-seared scallops settling into pea risotto, or a katsu chicken burger that earns its place alongside a classic smash cheeseburger.

A pan-fried cod loin brightened by lemon and caper butter nods to the coast, while a honey-glazed smoked bacon chop with grilled pineapple offers a nostalgic twist. There are hand-stretched pizzas from margherita to goats’ cheese and caramelised red onion, plus well-sourced sirloin and rib eye for steak devotees.

Dogs, walking boots and wellingtons are welcome in the Snug Bar and Lounge, and the mood shifts seamlessly from casual lunch to private dining and Sunday gatherings.

Time to make a date with good taste. Book a table, settle in, and plough into something rather lovely.
