The Plough

Head down to Main Street in Fulford and you'll find yourself in the kind of place that makes you understand why people actually live outside the city centre. The Plough is that rare thing: a neighbourhood pub that feels genuinely loved by the people who use it. The food is unpretentious but done properly—think proper beer-soaked stews and the kind of pies that taste like someone's mum made them. With 1,300-odd reviews sitting at 4.5 stars, locals clearly keep coming back for a reason that has nothing to do with Instagram.
