The Plough isn't your average countryside pub. Sitting on a quiet lane in a quintessentially English village, The Plough was set to be sold off the developers when 120 members of the community came together to invest, and save, their local. After its purchase and renovation, the Yates family took over the kitchen and opened the pub's small, but proud, restaurant, Bowleys. Head Chef Alex Yates is still very early on in his career but though only in his early twenties, he has already spent two years in the kitchens at The Goring Hotel in London, as well as having gained experience with Rick Stein and even once cooking for the Queen. Bowleys menus have a traditional feel and adhere to classic, English fare with a fine dining twist. There are several options to choose between including a tasting menu, set lunch, a la carte, brunch and Sunday lunch. The tasting menu is the jewel in Bowleys crown and consists of five courses, with an optional sixth.

    I chose St Leonard’s for a joint birthday celebration with a special girlfriend. Our lunch really was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. From ensuring we were given a quiet table (a written request in my Open Table booking), to the warm and friendly welcome; attentive, professional staff; the beautiful surroundings; the delicious, artfully prepared food. Really wonderful. We decided on the spot that St Leonard’s will become the annual location for our joint birthday celebration, plus other celebrations in between! Thank you chef and all the staff at St Leonard’s for all you do to provide such a terrific experience.
