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 -
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. - 
Sunday Lunch Superb roast beef as per the norm..Nom nom nom
Highly recommended place to eat either traditional English food or exquisite Thai of an evening. -
Best pub grub in the area Frequently use the Plough for drinking but have recently had 2 excellent Sunday meals there. Good atmosphere, pace of service and quality of food. -
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... -
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. -
Love this pub, great atmosphere and lovely food. -
Went here for a lunch time Went here for a lunch time meal during lock down. Both meals were very nice and filling, staff friendly. During covid we sat outside on a lovely sunny day, there are tables outside both at the front and rear. There were covered tales in the rear. We did not book but this was an ad hoc visit to the area. The toilets were outside and these were clean. It operates full table service and staff cheerful say just wave, we did not need to as very attentive as they walked past. Plus its part of government eat out to help out campaign this august, pleasantly surprised at the bill . We had traditional english food, but Thai food is served too we do not know when but will visit again for the Thai food -
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. -
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. -
Brilliant value for money and excellent Thai Curry without doubt the best we have ever had -
Lovely characterful Inn with ambience , together friendly, efficient staff. An excellent range of beers and food. Dog friendly. 😀 -
Great little find, lovely food & great customer service. The open fire is a definite plus! -
We went there with Ian and Debbie, it's a great place to go -
Always good 🙂 Friendly staff. Good food - both English and Thai and good use of local produce in some dishes. -
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 ! -
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. -
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. -
Great pub! Lovely staff and great food. -
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! -
Sunday Lunch Loving the roast beef for Sunday lunch.Served up with asparagus, carrots, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and lashings of yummy gravy.
The chef, Fern, has not produced a bad meal yet.
Always a must for a Sunday. -
Lovely lunch Very nice lunch at the Plough with my family at Bank Holiday . Nothing seemed too much trouble , good service and good food. -
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. -

Good lunch spot on a walk from Edenbridge to East Grinstead Good beer and food nicely served by friendly staff. The pub had a good feel and was comfortable. Replete, we struggled on the afternoon section!! -
Fantastic Sunday lunch followed by 6 nations rugby. Great day at The Plough. -
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. - If you have any further enquires or would like to make a booking
