The Plough

Food was ok nothing spectacular. However the service was rubbish. The waitress introduced herself by saying that she was hungover. When discussing the beer with the barman, he said I should go to a pub if I wanted a better choice, as they are a restaurant. It looked like a pub to me.

Excellent summer grill menu. Grilled Lamb Flat. Salad hummus with kebab of lamb served al fresco. Greta garden for kids.

Pleasant pub but not a gastro-​pub! Menu was rather limited disappointing in fact. Service was very average. However, when the steak arrived it was delicious and cooked perfectly.
Lacked the atmosphere one expects from a restaurant felt like being in a corridor. Furniture was not comfortable and décor was nothing to write home about.
Rather pricey for what it was. Pleasant for a quick bite, but not special enough for a special evening out.
I do not think we will be returning

Excellent! By far the best one in/​around Cambridge. We’ve been to this place 3 times and we expect to go many more times. This place is pretty modern and very cozy, with 3 main setting section — one is more restaurant style (a bit more formal); one is casual; and the other is more pub style (small and intimate). But you can where you like.
They have some drafts beer, but nothing that you cannot find in other pubs.
Some of my favorite food: beef suet pudding. If this dish is on the menu and you like stew, you mus try it. Its made of beef stew in a dough mold (made out of 50% animal fat — which is why its to die for!) and when you cut into the mold, the stew oozes out. Other notable dishes: chestnut pork risotto, fish and chips (best in town and very very good even by London standar), lamb dishes, tomato soup, pasta, pizza, and the Sunday roast.
I know the British are not known for good food, but when it’s done right (such as this place), it can be delicious. You just have to dig around a bit.

I had heard a lot about The Plough at Coton and also read many articles so I was eager to sample what it had to offer. The Plough is just on the outskirts of Cambridge but feels like its miles away in the country it pulls off the country pub vibe well and its customers represent this. We arrived on a Sunday around 2pm at it was really busy we had to wait a while to be seated but on a sunday lunchtime you expect that. However the welcome wasnt as warm as it could have been we got the impression we were just another late annoying table. When it came to ordering our food there were already 2 dishes that were unavailable which considering the menu wasnt too extensive wasnt a great start. The food was ok not as good as i had wished after reading the artciles in local press however it wasnt at all terrible and i may go back and put this down to an off day. The menu is mixed there is a deli board and then a choice of mains and starters and a pizza menu so there is something to suit most people just not a wide choice. The wine was lovely a really good selection.
