The Plough

About The Plough

The Plough was converted from an old farm at Middle Farm in Cramlington's old village, taking in the original farmhouse and steading and a circular building once used to grind corn. It has a lively bar, a quieter lounge, a large beer garden and terrace, a function room and a car park.

CAMRA lists Cullercoats Shuggy Boat Blonde and Greene King Abbot as regular cask beers, with up to five changing beers mostly from local microbreweries. The pub shows Sky and TNT Sports, welcomes children until 9pm and is listed by CAMRA as dog-friendly.
