The Plough Inn, Ealing

Walk into The Plough and you're getting what Ealing pubs should be—unpretentious, genuine, and clearly loved by the people who live round here. It's the kind of place where you'll find regulars nursing pints at the bar and families tucking into decent food without any fuss or Instagram posturing. The menu hits the marks you'd expect: proper pub classics done right, and the drinks selection leans into real ales that actually matter. Northfield Avenue's got that real residential Ealing feel, and The Plough sits nicely within that community rather than trying to be something it's not.
