Good memories of the "pluff" from the early 70s where £2 would last all evening including beer, crisps, a cheeseburger and a few plays on the jukebox. And free darts of course. 'Twas a lad's pub, you wouldn't take a young lady you wished to impress there, not even in the saloon. The landlord was a large jolly chap unlike a lot of his ilk of the time especially if you had long hair. There was a single screen cinema just down the road and so it was also handy for a pre or post flick pint. The Plough was of its time and would not have flourished into the gastro-pub, yuppie bar era which Hertford was so keen to embrace. Just a simple watering hole of the type which is all but forgotten now.
