Devon pub reaps Twitter storm after adding ploughperson’s to menu

Renaming of traditional lunch labelled woke' online, but was playful nod to local female farmers, says landlord

It was meant as a gentle nod to the women who farm the often bleak uplands of south-west Britain. But the landlord of a Dartmoor pub has been forced to rethink a decision to bill one of their lunchtime staples not as a ploughman's" but a ploughperson's".

It's caused something of a Twitter storm, hasn't it?" said Dicky Harrison, landlord of the Tors pub in the Devon village of Belstone.
