Since the current landlord, Andy Simmonds has been in charge the pub has been changed from a run down pub with many social problems to an award winning community pub. Earlier this year the pub was awarded the coveted CAMRA Pub of the Year for 2011 for its reintroduction of a wide range of real ales. The pub is the only freehouse in the area and has raised thousands of pounds for local charities. Live music has been introduced as well as poker evenings. The pub is used continuously be local groups who use the nearby sports centre. The pub also looks after 4 darts teams, a crib team and a pool team.
We urge you all to sign our petition so that we can send a clear message to Tesco. We need this pub to stay part of the local community.

im still busy emailing the folks over at tesco about those revised plans so dont think for a second that things have gone quiet. i have been reading through all the stories people are sharing about their time at the pub and it just goes to show how much this place means to us all.

why should a large corporate fat cat be able to destroy a much loved community hub? screw tesco and anyone else who tries to force closure upon the ploughman. there's little community spirit left in the world, we gotta look after and build on whats left- not destroy it!
GREAT PUB WHEN I VISIT FRIENDS IN OLD WERRINGTON. STAFF VERY FRIENDLY AND I ALWAYS ENJOY SUNDAY KARAOKE. GOOD LUCK
Andy turned that place around completely. Best landlord ever. Keep the pub open.
Used to go here all the time when I lived in Werrington. It really brings people together and has the best beer around. Leave it alone tesco!
PLEASE DONT KNOCK IT DOWN!! My family has lived here for years and the Ploughman is the only decent place for us to meet. We dont need another shop.
great pub great ale

We come to the Ploughman after our Werrington Joggers team run every Tuesday and it is a great place, we would really miss it if it closed.
