The story
The Plough Coton in Cambridge anchors its Modern British menu in seasonal sourcing and refined pub classics. Pasquale Benedetto opened the venue with a cousin in 2015, building a reputation that now includes an AA Rosette for culinary excellence. Under his guidance, the kitchen team crafts fresh dishes while maintaining a commitment to quality ingredients that shine without heavy manipulation.
The kitchen is known for its traditional Sunday roast, served throughout the day alongside refillable vegetables and fluffy Yorkshire puddings. Regular menus rotate to reflect availability, offering both hearty portions of quality meat and vibrant vegetarian options. A changing specials board reflects the flexibility of Modern British cooking, presenting new dishes as seasons shift.
Situated within a building with roots extending to the 18th century, the venue sits on one acre of meadow just three miles from central Cambridge. The interior balances relaxed comfort with formal dining areas, featuring a cosy crackling fire for cooler evenings. Guests can also utilize the large terrace, beer garden, or the private Grain Store room for gatherings.
