Quick info
About The Plough Shalbourne
The Plough Shalbourne is a village pub in Marlborough, on Kingston Rd, with an open fire and a program of live music and monthly events. The room has exposed beams and a simple, smartened-up look. Real ale is served in a glass with a handle, and Ramsbury is among the beers on the bar. The kitchen cooks a Sunday roast and a homemade bean burger, which suits walkers stopping in for a pub lunch on country routes. Dogs are welcome, so walkers can bring them along. Reservations are required.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly, attentive service is what reviewers mention most, with staff described as helpful and the hospitality as great. Close behind is the food, which several call delicious or tasty. One praises the soup and pheasant followed by a Paris Brest, another the bang bang cauliflower bites and mushroom arancini on opening night, and a third calls the bean burger the best homemade one they have had. Beer earns its own mentions, with 6X and Ramsbury named and a fab pint noted by a walker who stops by regularly. Several describe a pub that has been smartened up and restored as a classic country pub, with a lovely atmosphere and outdoor seating for watching village life. The one complaint is a Sunday roast that arrived almost cold, though that reviewer says earlier visits were excellent. One diner singles out real ale served in a glass with a handle.
