About The Plough CAFE| BAR | BISTRO
The Plough Cafe, Bar and Bistro is a cafe in Torrington at 9-11 Fore St, serving pre-show suppers for the neighbouring arts centre. The bistro-style menu leans on Thai and Asian-style dishes, including green Thai curry, crispy chicken in peanut sauce with mango salad, and hot & sour pork noodles, which are gluten free. A Supper Club runs alongside the regular food, and entertainment is on offer next to the cafe. Coffee and cuppas are there for anyone after a bite to eat rather than a full meal. Daytime service runs Wednesday to Saturday, covering brunch, lunch, tapas and the bar. On Friday and Saturday the kitchen and bar open again in the evening for tapas, which suits a meal before a show. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the food, and the dishes they name come with the most detail: crispy chicken in peanut sauce with mango salad, slow cooked hot and sour pork noodles called beautiful, and a green Thai curry. An avocado and poached egg salad and lovely tapas also get mentions, and one reviewer calls a frangipane with cherry and pistachios unusual and perfectly cooked. Close behind is the service, described as friendly, welcoming and brilliant, alongside remarks that the place is spotlessly clean, down to the bathrooms. Reviewers also call the prices reasonable, including for tasty coffee, and describe a social hub that welcomes dogs and suits a pre-show supper before an arts centre event. Several say they would come again. One diner describes a traditional Christmas lunch, beautifully presented, in festive surroundings.
