Lunch at a firm favourite With all the rain and cold we thought we'd head down to the Plough where we knew their open log fire would be alight to brighten the day. They run two menus, thai or British and there is a specials board too. So plenty to choose from for food and a great selection of beer, wine and spirits. So today we chose from the british menu with a pint of Harvey's for me and pinot grigio for the boss. The food was lovely and staff attentive. A great break from routine. -
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 ! -

Popped I’m in while passing Popped I’m in while passing by at lunchtime, glad we did. Service was excellent and welcoming. Lots of choice on the menu, I went for a burger and it was big and tasty. Desert was yummy brownie and ice cream. We were not rushed and able to enjoy our lunch.
We wanted to return to try the Thai menu but unfortunately for us they were fully booked. We will try and plan ahead and return in the near future. -
Sunday lunch. Absolutely superb traditional Sunday lunches. My rare beef was as delicious as I have ever eaten - and I am 83 years old so I have eaten quite a few. All members of our party raved about their different dishes. Cheerful and efficient service. Return planned. -
We enjoyed a fantastic afternoon and evening at the Plough. Highly recommended -
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. -
Always good 🙂 Friendly staff. Good food - both English and Thai and good use of local produce in some dishes. -
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. -
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. -
Excellent and Friendly Excellent friendly service and Sunday Lunch delicious. Lamb shank and vegetarian nut roast very good. Home made. Dogs welcome too. -
Super I was lucky enough to visit this place two days running. Once for lunch and then for dinner. Lunch was a Thai menu with a big choice and was really delicious. Service excellent, staff attentive with fast service and good hot food. We chose Wednesday for dinner as it's their special steak night. Choice of 4 different steaks with chips, salad and a choice of 2 sides. We chose the sharing Tomahawk steak, medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. Chips were great, the sides all tasty and plenty of everything. This pub is about a mile from my home in a very small village but is certainly proving very popular. Highly recommended. -
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 -
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! -
Fab food. Good service. Pleasant location -

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 -
Best local Pub. -

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! -
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 - If you have any further enquires or would like to make a booking
