Reopened as the Plough Shiplake in December 2022 after being closed for three years. The interior has undergone a lavish refurbishment, with the original bar area being removed and a new small bar installed at the right-hand end. The remainder is laid out as a lounge and dining area. There is also a new private dining room upstairs. The overall feel is now of a classy, contemporary, yet very cosy and comfortable restaurant.

There is no real ale, but local beers are available in keg form.

Historic Interest

Historic England Grade II listed, entry number 1472241. Public house with historic core dating to around 1600 with extensions from the early C19 to the south and a substantial northern brick range added by 1898.
