The Plough in Bodicote has reopened under the management of The Trigger Pond team from Bucknell.

The Plough in Bodicote, Oxfordshire, near Bicester, has reopened under the management of The Trigger Pond team from Bucknell. The Wadworth Brewery pub closed in November 2024 before coming under new ownership in April last year.

Jen and John Faherty took over the pub last year, investing more than £100,000 in renovations and reopening it to customers. However, they have now handed over management to The Trigger Pond team, and the Fahertys will become customers themselves.

The Trigger Pond team said: 'We're incredibly excited to be taking on this new venture and welcoming The Plough into our family. This is an exciting new chapter for us, and we can't wait to get stuck in, meet the locals, welcome familiar faces and make plenty of new memories along the way.' The Fahertys wished the new management success, saying: 'We look forward to seeing the pub continue to thrive.'

Food service this week is Friday and Saturday 12pm-3pm and 5pm-9pm, and Sunday 12pm-4pm. The pub will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
