Welcome to The Cow & Plough, a quintessential British pub nestled within the picturesque Stoughton Grange, Leicester.

Embrace the essence of country living as you indulge in our diverse offerings – from hearty pub grub to nature-inspired foraging adventures.

At The Cow & Plough, we pride ourselves on providing a variety of dining experiences for every palate. Whether you’re craving a wood-fired pizza from our pizza shack, a leisurely afternoon tea amidst the changing seasons, or a bespoke dining affair in our private room, we have something to satisfy every craving.

Join us from 11 am daily to savour our freshly brewed coffee, relish in our delectable lunch offerings, or unwind over a sumptuous dinner. For the adventurous souls, we offer tutored foraging experiences, allowing you to connect with nature’s bounty before indulging in a thoughtfully crafted meal.

We extend a warm welcome to well-behaved dogs in our bar area and outdoor spaces. We do ask that they are kept on leads and do not sit on the furniture, even on a blanket (it’s not fair for other guests who may have allergies).

As stewards of the land, we are committed to environmental sustainability, striving to reduce waste, conserve water and energy, and minimise food miles by sourcing locally and ethically. At The Cow & Plough, we’re more than just a pub – we’re a community-driven, eco-conscious establishment dedicated to preserving our planet for future generations. With this in mind we are a cashless venue and can only accept payment via card or contactless methods.

Experience the charm of The Cow & Plough – where good food, good company, and good intentions converge.

Kitchen Garden

We have just over an acre of kitchen garden where we grow heritage varieties of salads, tomatoes, courgettes, cucumbers, numerous herbs, edible flowers and much more to supply our chefs for use on our menu. We believe in sustainable business practices and our garden allows us to use fresher ingredients while also reducing food miles, it’s the best of both.

Stoughton Grange Farm Shop

We have recently opened the Stoughton Grange Farm Shop, offering the finest, freshest local and quality produce alongside our own homegrown fare. Sourced from marvellous, passionate suppliers, producers and creators who all share our values when it comes to quality.

At Stoughton Grange, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and preserving the environment. To achieve our goal, we have adopted some unique practices that transport us to a century ago. Here’s what we do:
  • We have created a kitchen garden and grow as much fruit and vegetables as we can. About 10% of our annual usage comes from the restaurant.
  • We avoid using blueberries or avocados and recycle our food waste into compost for our garden.
  • We purchase from local producers to minimise food miles and reduce our carbon footprint.
  • We harvest rainwater from our roofs and are fitting them with solar panels to promote renewable energy.
  • Our efforts have earned us a 2-star rating from the food made good accreditation scheme, which encourages sustainability practices such as smaller portion sizes, more vegetable dishes, better quality meat with provenance, fair pay for team members, and community support.
We are proud to say that our business is making a positive impact on the planet while providing our customers with delicious, sustainable food.
