5 star rating 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 !

5 star rating Lovely lunch We had a really lovely Sunday afternoon in the pub garden. Really lovely food, couldn’t fault it and excellent service. We were quite demanding with two young children and they went above and beyond for us. Fab afternoon. -

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. -

5 star rating More than a real country pub! My husband is very fussy about his beer and says this pub offers the best pint of Harvey's he's ever tasted. He was tempted by the landlord to try a pint of "Mother in Law" apparently its half a normal Harvey's and half Harvey's Old Ale", he's now a convert! The food on offer is far better than any pub grub! During the day there is an array of mouthwatering plates that would not be out of place in a top London restaurant and during the evening there is superb authentic Thai food that is outstanding. Apparently Wednesday night is steak night, which we are yet to sample but I'm sure it wouldn't disappoint. The Sunday lunch is to die for but I would advise to book a table if you want to eat as its always busy. You can choose to eat in the restaurant area or bar area. Lots of the food and drink is sourced from local business'. Dogs are welcome in the bar area, so you don't have to leave your 4 legged friend at home.

We visited on Saturday lunchtime and as expected there were lots of people who had been there since early that morning as they televised the England/New Zealand rugby on the TV. Everyone was in great spirits without being rowdy. It was a great pleasure to see the local trail hunt and the hound pack turn up in the car park as they made a pit stop. All the riders were very friendly and chatty and we were encouraged to get among-st the hounds and give them a good old fuss! It was a baptism of fire for our Lakeland puppy's fellow dog socialisation, but the hounds were very gentle with him.

The only thing that spoilt our visit was the appearance of some hunt saboteurs who were I have to say, very aggressive towards everyone! The Rugby crowd combined with the riders and general "punters" managed to evict them from the car park by singing a very loud rendition of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot"

If you're looking to experience what a real British country pub has to offer then this is the place to go. From the moment you walk through the door you are greeted with a very warm welcome form not only the staff but other customers. It has a real vibrant atmosphere without being intrusive and every-time we visit we have always been welcomed with open arms and a smile.

5 star rating 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. -

5 star rating Amazing Thai menu Visited over the weekend as restrictions are lifted, we were greeted COVID safe and shown to our seats in the front lawn , drinks order and food taken quickly and arrived all at the right temperature! We opted for the Thai menu which was as authentic as you get light and full of delicate flavours, great to visit again and we are looking forward to our next visit well done guys and best of luck for the future -

5 star rating 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.

5 star rating 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 -

Visited this week with a walking group, previously booked in with close idea on numbers lunching. Not our first visit and we will be back for sure!
Very friendly atmosphere with a good welcome.
I believe that everyone enjoyed their lunches, which more or less came out together. Full marks to the team.

5 star rating Thaitastic What a brilliant combination - old fashioned pub (not a juke box or fruit machine in sight) with a great atmosphere, a pint (or three) of delicious Harvey's, the best Thai cuisine locally and a warm reception from the friendly staff -

4 star rating 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 !

4 star rating Very Nice Lunch We called in for lunch after a visit to Chartwell, it was quite crowded, good sign, welcoming staff.
I had a very good burger, slightly rare, beautifully seasoned. Just salad which was nice. My Mum had ham egg and chips that she enjoyed.

5 star rating Best Thai Restaurant! There surely are magical creatures at work in the kitchen. The Thai food is truly witchcraft! Perfection! Always look forward to coming back. We've not eaten from the 'English' menu but can imagine the same level of yumminess. -

Stop on the way home from East Grinstead. We was made to feel very welcome. Hospitality and food are both 5 star. We're arranging a meal again with friends in the near future. Highly recommend here. -

5 star rating Fantastic Sunday Lunch! Went to the plough today, called last minute and they managed to fit us in (table of 5 + high chair) within 45 mins of calling. Lovely cosy traditional pub. Greeted when we arrived and shown to table. Staff friendly and polite. Starters were lovely, and beef roast was absolutely delicious, best in area by far and lots of veg and potatoes. Kids meals were great, all 3 children cleared their plates. Busy but didn't have to wait long between courses at all. Deserts were also really good. Staff great with the children as well. First time coming here but we will definitely be returning. Thanks you all at The Plough! -
