Horse & Plough - Douglas

Central to the new-look Heron and Brearley managed house is the transformation of the conservatory into a light-filled dining space that brings a touch of beach house-chic to Braddan, where cool neutral tones are offset by creative flourishes including over-sized Post-It notes and an homage to that staple of British cooking, OXO, as artwork, while shelves in one corner display Manx products - from preserves to flour - as decorative items. 

From the conservatory doors open onto a spacious new terrace perfect for dining al fresco and there’s also a new children’s play area, while back inside the refurbished bar has been opened up to create a choice of seating areas and space for live performances.

Matching the new-look interior is a new regularly changing menu supplemented by daily specials. As eclectic as the décor, food choices range from an inspired selection of sandwiches through to quick lunch dishes and British, Mediterranean and Asian-influenced main courses. Fine ales by Okell’s are complemented by a carefully chosen wine list offering New and Old World options.
