Lovely surprise We stopped at the Plough for lunch and we're pleasantly surprised with the large selection of Thai food on offer. The food was outstanding the service just right and not rushed. Parking is good and the plough itself with its open fires and low ceilings delightful. Cannot wait to try more of the dishes... -
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 -
Best local Pub. -
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. -
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. -
Stopped while passing through. Good lunchtime menu, dog happily accommodated. Very pleasant service. - 
Fantastic lunch as always 😘 -
Great little find, lovely food & great customer service. The open fire is a definite plus! -
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. -
Really friendly pub with the Really friendly pub with the best Thai for miles around. Couldn’t fault it if I tried and been going there for years. -
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. -
Staff were nice and a good environment and cheerful -
After booking a table at The Crown, at Turners Hill, and being informed that this hadn't been noted down, the Plough managed to fit us in and thankfully they did. I had a lovely birthday lunch with lovely food and exceptional service. Highly recommended visiting The Plough - 
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. -
Lovely characterful Inn with ambience , together friendly, efficient staff. An excellent range of beers and food. Dog friendly. 😀 -
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! -
Cosy pub with delicious food The food was great and the service fast and friendly. Lovely cosy atmosphere, especially with the wind and rain outside. We’ll definitely be returning! -
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. -
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 ! -
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. -
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 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 . -
Awesome food, lovely staff and great atmosphere 5* -
Brilliant value for money and excellent Thai Curry without doubt the best we have ever had -
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. -
Top place for the summer this, the gardens really colourful too,
English country style and elegance wrapped in one! -
Fantastic times and plenty of good memories from The Plough over the years, all made possible by the friendly welcoming atmosphere and staff team who are 100% part of enriching the atmosphere. Best pub for food around and the area. - If you have any further enquires or would like to make a booking
