Overlooking the stunning beautiful Towy Valley, The Plough Inn is nestled in the picturesque town of Rhosmaen, South Wales. Using the best local ingredients, a range of cooking techniques, and a healthy dose of passion and flair, the team works hard to deliver their considered, award-winning offering. From homemade pub classics to their signature charcoal grilled steak, it’s no surprise it’s a popular spot with locals and tourists alike.
Previously relying on a gas griddle, Head Chef Jonny wanted to bring real charcoal flavour into their cooking and after visiting the Jestic test kitchen, the difference was clear from the very first cook. He comments on his experience using the Mibrasa charcoal oven for the first time:
“The chefs at the Jestic kitchen let us cook on the Mibrasa, and when we tasted the difference, the steak was ten times better. We put a bit of olive oil on it and put it straight into the charcoal oven. The temperature is higher, meaning it doesn’t dry out, and keeps the juices inside.”
The Plough’s menu has been significantly elevated since the addition of the Mibrasa charcoal oven. Capable of combining grill and oven functionality in one closed system, the precise airflow control delivers consistent, high-temperature cooking while enhancing natural flavours. Positive customer feedback has further reinforced the high-quality output The Plough Inn are now producing, Jonny explains:
“The feedback we have had has been amazing. A lady called me a few weeks ago to tell me it was the best duck ever! This is why I’m here, and why I love cooking.”
Beyond flavour, the addition has also improved kitchen operations at The Plough Inn. Despite having up to 150 covers a night, the oven has helped to streamline service, increased speed, and make life easier for the team - without needing additional staff:
“It made things easier in the end, because it didn’t add another job to the kitchen, it just made everything faster. Everyone here loves it; it gives you the taste, it gives you the texture, this is the core of the kitchen.”
Through Mibrasa’s premium range of charcoal cooking equipment, The Plough Inn has taken its menu to the next level, resulting in authentic flavours, happy staff and satisfied customers.
