The Plough Shiplake – Top 50 Best Sunday Roasts
Congratulations to The Plough Shiplake for being included in The Good Food Guide’s inaugural 50 Best Sunday Roasts.
The Good Food Guide says, “After 18,000 public nominations, it’s obvious that a Sunday roast is by far Britain’s favourite meal with 75% of Good Food Guide readers saying a roast is also Britain’s most popular dish. We’ve loved checking out the Sunday roasts at restaurants, cafes and pubs around Britain – each one accomplished in terms of quality ingredients and cooking – and we hope you enjoy as many from this list of 50 as possible.”
What makes The Plough’s Sunday Roast so special?
‘It’s simple, not overstated, and exactly what we love,’ commented one reader about the Sunday roasts on offer at this rejuvenated village hostelry. Yes, it’s emphatically traditional stuff but there are always some neat touches to give the food ‘a little extra flavour’. Two meaty choices (say, beef striploin and pork loin) are served with beef-fat potatoes and Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese and buttered seasonal greens – ‘nothing more, nothing less’. Top-notch hospitality and ‘fabulous service’ too.

The food (‘exciting but accessible’) also finds favour, with menus catering for most occasions – from gentrified fish and chips to a monthly ‘flight club’ where a five-course tasting menu is combined with wine pairings, cocktails and live music. The kindly priced, no-choice set lunch is a popular option, with villagers tucking into the likes of cauliflower velouté with hazelnut and apple gremolata, sea trout fillet with a cep and eel sauce, and desserts such as tonka-bean parfait
The kitchen also delivers when it comes to providing a stylishly traditional Sunday lunch while service is polite, friendly and attentive. Drinks are a forte too, with well-chosen Old World wines (including fizz from a local vineyard) augmented by cocktails and Rebellion beers.
