Set in the heart of Braddan, Horse & Plough is a modern, stylish gastropub that combines the comfort of a welcoming local with the flair of a contemporary dining destination. With its light-filled conservatory, relaxed bar area, and spacious terrace, the venue offers a fresh, creative setting that’s ideal for everything from casual lunches to family dinners and lively weekend drinks with friends or colleagues.
The restaurant’s recent transformation has brought a touch of beach house chic to the Isle of Man. Think cool, neutral tones with playful design details — oversized Post-it note wall art, a quirky tribute to the iconic OXO cube, and shelves adorned with local Manx produce doubling as decorative touches. The bright and airy conservatory opens out onto a generous outdoor terrace, perfect for al fresco dining on sunny days, while families will appreciate the on-site children’s play area, making it a genuinely family-friendly spot for all ages.
Inside, the refurbished bar area offers a mix of cosy corners and open-plan spaces, creating the perfect backdrop for both intimate meals and larger gatherings. Regular live music and performances add a sense of occasion to the weekends, enhancing the warm, sociable atmosphere that locals and newcomers alike enjoy. The pub also hosts seasonal events, quiz nights, and special menus to keep things interesting throughout the year.
On the menu, you’ll find a regularly changing selection of freshly prepared dishes, blending classic pub favourites with Mediterranean and Asian-inspired flavours. Daily specials complement the core menu, ensuring there’s always something new to try. From hearty sandwiches and light lunch options to comforting main courses like fish and chips, the kitchen caters to a wide range of tastes and preferences. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are also available, and the team is happy to accommodate dietary needs wherever possible with care and flexibility.
The bar is well-stocked with a selection of fine ales from Okell’s, alongside premium spirits, craft beers, and a carefully curated wine list offering both New and Old World choices. Whether you’re stopping in for a quiet pint, enjoying a relaxed evening meal, or treating the family to a generous Sunday lunch, there’s something for everyone here.
Dog-friendly and accessible, Horse & Plough welcomes guests of all kinds. The pub is open seven days a week, while the kitchen serves food Tuesday to Sunday, offering both walk-ins and reservations for added convenience.
Whether you're visiting for a quiet midweek drink, a weekend celebration, or a laid-back family meal, Horse & Plough offers a warm welcome, great food, and a setting full of charm and character — a true modern Manx pub experience worth returning to again and again.
