The Old Plough

The Old Plough is a traditional village pub on Church Road in Shortlanesend, about two miles north of Truro, where dogs are welcome inside with their owners. Formerly known as the Shortlanesend Inn, it has a central bar with a pool area and TV and a cosy restaurant area with a log burner.

The menu covers classic pub dishes such as burgers, pies and steak, with options for vegetarians, vegans and people with allergies. Food is served at lunchtime and early evening from Tuesday to Saturday, with a Sunday lunch service. The pub recommends booking ahead because it can get busy at mealtimes.

Outside, a garden and sundeck with covered dining pods provide outdoor seating all year round, and there is a large car park. The pub also runs regular community events, including quiz nights, bingo and a book club, and is home to the village's community library.
