The Plough Arts Centre

Reviewed By hpage12016 - South Molton, United Kingdom

We had a lovely meal here as a pre show treat. The choice of meals were good, with a beef dish, chicken, and lamb, and two vegetarian choices and a prawn Thai curry, all served with either chips or new potatoes, and a wonderful choice of vegetables.If you have enough room the puddings were lovely too, lemon cheesecake, brownies with ice cream are highly recommended.
