The Plough at Fen Ditton is a village pub nestling just outside the city boundary of Cambridge. Easily accessible from the A14 coming from the East or West.
The pub is a popular haunt of the locals, and many from the city centre. Stunning riverside garden and an extensive menu.
The trips from The Plough are mainly operated by ‘Princess Charlotte’, the ideal boat for those wanting easy access or wheelchair users, as the garden is flat and with the use of a wheelchair ramp allows direct access to the boat.
The pub has a spacious car park with dedicated Blue Badge bays close to the entrance.
