How it works.
The Ploughman’s Lunches are ranked by a score out of 100, this sorts “The best and the rest”.
Anything above 80 is excellent Ploughman’s Lunch and anything over 70 is perfectly good. There are price differences, so some of the lower-scored offerings can often be excellent value for money.
