Booked a table for nine. When Booked a table for nine. When we arrived, we seemed to wait a very long time to be recognised, and when we were it took a long time for the waitress to bring a small basket of crackers to the table to whet our appetite whilst ordering. This was despite the restaurant not being overly busy, and other diners were being served prior to our table. This wasn’t too much of an issue, but we then waited again for our orders to be taken, and then waited again for our starters. Having said that, the food, when it did eventually arrive, was of good quality, with ample portions and nicely presented. The experience for the whole evening was that they were disorganised, but the food was good. Overall a nice restaurant but a bit let down by the sporadic customer service. Hence, four stars rather than five. I would still recommend this venue... -
Went for a quick Sunday lunch Went for a quick Sunday lunch with a friend , I own a pub myself so I always like to sample various pubs for lunch .The pub is gorgeous , really old English quintessential English with beams , open fire etc,
Walked in and 3 people who worked there didn’t smile or acknowledge us standing at the bar which was when they opened , the lady with dark hair could have been the landlady was great , took our drinks orders and asked us where we would like to sit .
Food was delicious , we had a roast beef , chicken and leek pie and a sponge pudding and custard .
Can’t fault it , it was absolutely delicious !!!
I would definitely recommend going here, girls could smile and say hello to any customer who walks in , and the other thing is it’s a bit cold the other side of the restaurant to the fire .. maybe that side could be lit ?
But I’d definitely return ! -
One of my two favourite pubs in the South East. Great atmosphere, great food, great beer as cosy as they come and with some of the most cheerful & friendly staff you’ll meet. - 
Lovely pub I really like The Plough. The staff are friendly and helpful. There's a lovely atmosphere and food is very good. -
Fantastic Country Pub Stunning old beamed country pub, serving great beer and fantastic food - English and Thai. Never had a bad meal here. Always a great busy busy atmosphere . - 
We enjoyed a fantastic afternoon and evening at the Plough. Highly recommended -
Excellent beer & great atmosphere -
Great little find, lovely food & great customer service. The open fire is a definite plus! -
Saturday lunch Just had a lovely pub lunch here. Food very good and service, Thai food is very good and traditional English menu very nice.Nice warm friendly country pub! I will be back -
Been through the menu. Varied on quality. So choose well Have eaten most of their menu over time. Prefer the lighter bites to the burgers etc. Sunday roast is bland. Vege burger dry as a bone. Lovely old school pub with fabulous Landlady and staff more than make up for the food. -
Have always loved coming to this pub. We live around the corner, and thank goodness we do! This is a perfect local pub, with amazing food. It very friendly, and loves having dogs, which we love. We order Thai takeaways regularly from here, which is a superb option. -

Definitely try it, food was vibrant and packed full of flavor. Excellent meal!! Turned up with my kids 9 and 4 yo's, got handed a Thai menu 'thought to myself hear we go, we'll be leaving now I guess' waitress asked straight away about the kids if they wanted chick nuggets an chips. I said oh yes plz. Absolutely faultless service from a very young staff nothing was too much trouble, so as our drinks arrived the kids meals came very shortly after, then on to our meals which was stunning, my partner not a great fan of Thai food but she really enjoyed it. Would most definitely return -
Lunchtime drink Nice country pub with a lot of atmosphere, they do good food and have a Thai option good beers too and loads of seating outside large car park -
Lovely lunch Very nice lunch at the Plough with my family at Bank Holiday . Nothing seemed too much trouble , good service and good food. -
Love this pub, great atmosphere and lovely food. -
Lovely pub and very enjoyable Thai food The interior of the pub is lovely. Interesting decor, has atmosphere. Old and interesting interior. Easy to park. I love Thai food so seek it out. Friendly, young girl serving. Efficient service with no long waits. complmentary prawn crackers that she offered to refill. Prawn dish - a sort of sizzling plate - were very tasty although I think they were a little overcooked. Really enjoyed the whole meal. Good selection.
Would I return? Yes and soon. -
We had arranged a cycle route with our four children via the Plough for lunch. I had eaten here before but not for a while so I had expected it to be good. However yesterday the Sunday lunch was amazingly good. The food was beautifully cooked and the presentation of the vegetables was an art. Usually for pub lunches I would expect a dish of vegetables, but the chef had taken great care in the cooking and presentation resulting in a selection of perfectly cooked bed on which the roast rested. It was delicious. The interior is immaculate with fairy lights , candles and fresh wild flowers on rustic stripped pine tables. The staff were friendly, very well turned out and the atmosphere was relaxed and very inviting. Lastly the sight and smell of an open wood fire was exactly what we needed after a long windy cycle. Definitely going back soon -
Fabulous food and fantastic service -
I had the yummiest plough burger with the best chips ever and my partner has the roast beef it was the best pub food we have ever eaten and such a great price too X -
An absolute treat ! How lovely it was to step inside this beautiful tavern - warm and cosy - and doing a good trade on a Friday winter’s lunchtime ! Really lovely food - very fresh and well presented - there’s even a very extensive Thai menu to run alongside traditional pub classics.
Yes we would return ! -
I'm probably a little biased as I only live down the road but you'd be hard pushed to find a better pub. With friendly staff, great food and welcoming locals (I would say that) it's a great place to meet up with your friends. Whenever I tell people where I live they always say "You're near the Plough, aren't you lucky! We love it there" Enough said. -
Fantastic smoked haddock and champ for lunch today #nomnom -
Sunday lunch We had a wonderful meal today. All cooked to perfection. Friendly staff, good service. Food was great, with plenty of choice on the Sunday menu. We opted for roast beef, lamb shank. Apple and rhubarb crumble, poached pear. Delicious! Love love this pub! -
fantastic food and staff We were at the races and looking for a nice place to eat not far from the Marriott Lingfield. What a find!. had lunch there on the Thursday and then booked for Friday night for their Thai meals. We couldn't recommend this any higher. great food, Very reasonably priced, Great staff. Thank You. -
A Great Lunchtime Menu & Friendly Service Table booked for a walk group lunchtime at the end of a morning event. A warm welcome when we arrived (about 20 minutes earlier than expected ... must have been walking too swiftly!) but tables ready for us.
Food ordered at the Bar together with our drinks. A lovely Specials menu, too.
The service was very friendly and I gather that all the group enjoyed their lunches ... very satisfied. -
Fantastic pub with warm atmosphere 🍷 I am a frequent visitor to the Plough with both friends and my family and always enjoy my time there. My husband, son and I often go for Sunday lunch and we are always impressed by the quality of the food and the service. The staff often go out of their way to ensure my 2 year old son is happy which always helps us have a relaxing lunch too! On one occasion our waitress ensured my son’s lunch came quickly in order to keep him amused as she could see he was hungry so that my husband and I could enjoy a glass of wine with some peace! I often visit with friends in the evening too and am always greeted with a smile and good chat over the bar with the great staff which keeps me continuing to arrange to meet my friends there.
Thai food is exceptional and the best around in the area to eat in or takeaway which is not good for my waistline!
Everyone should visit this pub, you won’t be disappointed. -
