New Venture for Orwells Restaurant Chefs
Chef owners Ryan and Liam Simpson-Trotman of fine dining restaurant Orwells in Binfield heath, have saved a local pub from demolition and certain development. They are looking launching the pub with its original name, The Plough at Shiplake early next year.
Ryan and Liam, partners in work and life will launch their first pub venture, bringing to it their trademark focus on local resources, high quality ingredients and sustainability.
The Plough at Shiplake, which dates back to 1774, will retain many of the much loved qualities of a British pub. However when it comes to provenance, the overall philosophy will mirror that of Orwells which has been celebrated for its sustainable and entirely seasonal menu with up to 75% of fruit and vegetables grown by Ryan and Liam themselves in their own small holding.
The Plough will be an informal all day dining affair open seven days a week for everything from a quick drink and snack to a three course meal.
The chefs are also well known for their appearances on TV shows James Martin’s Saturday Morning, Saturday Kitchen and Great British Menu. Having established a very loyal following since launching Orwells in 2010, they have won multiple accolades including four AA rosettes and are listed in the Michelin Guide.
The Plough at Shiplake will certainly be a great and welcome addition to the Henley area food scene and joining other popular village location destinations such as The Baskerville in Shiplake and the Bottle & Glass Inn in Binfield Heath as a must visit.
