- KKevin01/02/2024Super satisfied with our experience Super satisfied with our experienceMy wife and I were super satisfied with our experience at the Plough Hotel. Tina, Pete and Kat we're extremely accommodating and helpful with our requests for our Wedding celebration. That Barkly room was a great space to share a meal with our loved ones. The food was an absolute highlight with many guests complimenting the quality and portions of the dishes included with the 2 course meal. We loved the pork belly, rump and roast pumpkin in particular. The service was also really good [...]My wife and I were super satisfied with our experience at the Plough Hotel.
