About us

The Plough is situated in the picturesque village of Coton, only 3 miles away from Cambridge but a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the City centre.

We appeal to a large variety of customers from walkers and cyclists to families, businesses and locals alike. We are a destination pub within a short drive or cycle ride of Cambridge city centre. Our food and menus are designed for all occasions, from casual lazy lunches to a night out with the family, or even a celebratory dinner. Our traditional menu really highlights the skills of our head chef and his team. We firmly believe in keeping food fresh and interesting and have a commitment to using local suppliers and produce where possible.

Summer is soon upon us and Al Fresco Dining will become ever more popular. We have a very large garden, with play equipment and tables and a fully serviced 40 seat dining patio, so whatever the occasion there is a space for you!

Sunday's are ever popular, so booking is essential! Our Sunday Roasts are delicious and highly regarded. Perfect with one of our ever-changing seasonal ales, or specially selected wines.

Watch out on our Facebook and Twitter pages for updates on specials and delicious dishes as well as events.

We hope to see you soon!.

The Plough Coton in Cambridge exceeded expectations. The waitresses provided exceptional service with genuine warmth, ensuring a delightful dining experience. Kudos to the chef for crafting dishes that not only pleased the palate but also showcased culinary excellence. The combination of attentive staff and outstanding food makes The Plough Coton a must-visit gastropub in Cambridge.

10.01.2024 Came for lunch. 3 adults, 3 children. Was slightly late due to traffic. Before ordering maitre d told us he'd already booked our table out after us. Basically saying for us to eat quickly and leave. Food took a while to come due to it being busy. Roast chicken was nice but too big for the plate and needed a sharpr knife to cut it with Roast lamb was nice but fiddly. Children's portions were generous. Restaurant was noisy, service was slow. Maitre d put a damper on the meal from the start. Would not recommend or return.

The new menu at the Plough is excellent. Several attractive items to choose from: it is our second visit this week, and we will come again soon. :::::::::: Another visit, and I fear - another disappointment. The atmosphere in the pub is brilliant, it's a really pleasant place to be. But the menu had very few things attractive; we tried "Asian salad with soft crab", and the very basic salad was old, far from fresh (as if it was cut yesterday). What's going on in their kitchen? ------- I am forced to write an update: we visited yesterday and found they changed the menu (as is appropriate from time to time). The new menu was quite disappointing though: the excellent dishes are gone, the pork belly has little flavour, the plaice as well (plus the rubbery gnocchi wasn't a good add), several other dishes were quite/below ordinary. Hope the next change of menu comes soon. ........... This is not my first review of The Plough in Coton, but I felt compelled to write again. The atmosphere is as good as ever, the staff are happy and not stressed, enjoying themselves (mostly). It's important to have this good energy, it passed over to the floor. But my main point was the food. They changed the menu last Thursday, and there are at least four main dishes we would have to come back for to taste... Today we had octopus, and whoever is in their kitchen - they have my respect: it is not easy to cook octopus that tender, and the whole dish works very well together. Again, you can only cook that well if you have good energy, and I wish it continues at The Plough

Lovely Boxing Day Lunch, no problem in moving tables as my father is hard of hearing with a lot of background noise. Attentive staff and would love to visit again.
