The Plough Sleapshyde

Fantastic pub. Set in a beautiful location with serene views and a lovely garden with many different areas to relax in. Interior is welcoming and very well decorated. Dog bowls and water provided. The staff are excellent and very friendly, and there's a good selection of beers.
We had the battered cod and chips - accommodatingly outside of kitchen hours - and it was beautifully cooked, the chips were especially good, with a lovely touch of mint pea puree & sleeved half lemon. Been twice now, and i can't fault anything here.
Thoroughly highly recommended.

So good! The food is absolutely amazing the staff are stop on and the setting is divine. I would highly recommend this pub.
The bread and beef dripping butter is wonderful. I cannot compliment this place enough

Our first visit here after walking past it on so many occasions. Great little traditional old cottage style country pub hidden away in the Hertfordshire countryside just off the Alban Way walking / cycling trail.

Amazing beer garden, very quaint inside, with old beams etc.. Food was excellent and reasonably priced, kids menu's also provided. Beer was very well priced and all in all a great visit for our family.

If you are walking along the Alban Way and wanted to stop for a quick beer or a bit to eat then I would definitely recommend this hidden away gem.

Fantastic gastropub - our favourite in the St Albans region. Creative menus with fresh ingredients, well executed and with a good selection of plates.
Attentive staff and quick service.
Beautiful traditional pub setting inside or a moderately sized rear garden overlooking Hertfordshire fields.
Certainly worth a try!

So Gastro pub means public stomach I believe and mine is certainly more public after our visit today. We had been for a drink a couple of times breaking off a cycle along the nearby Alban Way. But today we decided to go for it despite the apparently high prices. Sometimes you get what you pay for, other times you get ripped off. The Plough is worth ever penny. We had starters and main from the Sunday lunch menu. There wasn't a single element that was cooked anything but less than perfection and the flavours were the best tasting (insert name of item here) you have ever had.
The service was relaxed but, despite a full restaurant, prompt and always friendly. The wine list is surprisingly good value, if the standard mark up is 4x retail then I need to know where they get such good organic Montepulciano from at that price. The beers and cider choice is excellent and what comes out of the taps is in top condition.
No complaints, total satisfaction and finishing the wine in the garden enjoying the remains of the day was heaven. As I took the glasses back the smell of liqueur coffee almost tempted me back in for more but it was closing time. Superb.

Really lovely experience for Sunday lunch, portions are decent size and well made, on the more expensive side for a pub lunch but quality is high. Was £200 bill for 4 adults for lunch, dessert and soft drinks each and tip included. No wine & only 1 beer. Staff were lovely, pub itself is a decent size and there is a large outdoor seating space too. Parking can get busy.

Best roast in St Albans! This was our first visit since the new owners took over and wow it was fantastic! We both had the beef which was beautifully rare and there were generous portions of roast potatoes and a selection of veg. We shared the chocolate bar for pudding with the jaffa cake ice cream. Yum! We'll definitely be back soon!

Under new management with a new kitchen team. Their lunch menu was delicious and perfect for my birthday lunch. Welcoming, knowledgeable staff and a good selection of drinks including the alcohol free options. Easy dining with a baby and a dog in tow.

Enjoyed the beef shin taco, buratta with salsa, beef tartare, and the ploughman's.
