The Plough at Cadsden is one of the most famous pubs in England, tucked into the Chiltern beechwoods beside the Ridgeway and barely a mile from Chequers, the Prime Minister’s country residence. The lane that runs past the front door is well-walked by those visiting or working at Chequers, and the pub has been the natural refreshment stop for that particular stretch of Buckinghamshire countryside for generations. A 16th-century inn, it celebrates honest, generous food at sensible prices without apology: proper pub fare, plenty of it.
The Sunday roast draws enthusiastic visitors from across the area, and the kitchen’s commitment to good honest food without pretension is exactly what the location demands. En-suite rooms make it possible to extend a Ridgeway walk into an overnight stay, and the surrounding woodland provides some of the finest walking in the Chilterns.
