Closed for several years, and saved from conversion to residential use, the pub was reopened in July 2014, after extensive renovation and modification. A large L-shaped bar faces the entrance with a drinking area to the right themed on the Spitfire (the pub was popular with wartime pilots based at nearby RAF Duxford). To the left is a larger area of seating, where the music theme of the pub begins with images of old vinyl, a theme continued in the toilets, which are decorated with a montage of concert and record release promotional posters. Doors on this side lead through to a spacious patio and the garden beyond. Up to 4 cask beers, primarily sourced from small local or regional breweries. Five craft keg beers on tap. It offers a range ciders including real cider. Frequent live music nights.

Having been closed for over two years the Plough reopened in May 2023. Food is available from food vans Friday to Sunday. Open Wednesday to Sunday in summer, Saturday and Sunday in winter.
