Plough Inn - Carta

They need to get their act together. Pre booked a Sunday roast but arrived to find they had no roasts available. There was an apology from a young staff member but nothing from the management who seemed not to comprehend how stupid they looked. Seemed very take it or leave it.

Kat and her staff accommodated our two family gathering (18 of us) for Sunday lunch with a prearranged menu in the lovely medieval attic rooms with our sole use for the afternoon. We cannot praise highly enough the service and food we enjoyed and the total ambience of this lovely old pub enhanced by the excellent attention of Kat and the chef who are now the owners.

We were a party of 9 and as soon as we arrived, we were greeted in a friendly manner. We ordered starters, mains and drinks- all of which arrived promptly. Every single one of us enjoyed our food; in particular the steak and Guinness pie which was the best pie I've ever had. Kudos to the chef. We definitely recommend and will ge returning at the next given opportunity. Thank you! Ver carta

A lovely old English pub We booked a table a week ago for 5 for Sunday lunch. It was very busy, but we like a good pub atmosphere. Initially the table we were given was in a chilly area it is exceptionally cold today) we were moved without a fuss. A lovely lady apologised that there would be a delay with our food. We didn’t mind as we were warned, and we were comfy and having a nice time The food when it arrived was well worth waiting for, the staff were polite and accommodating. It isn’t a large venue and coped very well

On a cold Tuesday there was a warm and pleasant atmosphere with friendly landlady. It's a lovely old pub with low ceilings and plenty of warnings to mind your head on low beams. There was a good beer selection and a good draft cider. There were four other tables occupied. We ordered a steak pie and a chicken pie with winter vegetables. We had wait a bit for the food but it was not excessive. The pies were pretty good, good pastry on top and with mostly tender meat with no gristle but a couple of chewy bits. Overall good. I would go again.

6 of us thought we would go for the advertised super Sunday roast. We prebooked, they had full contact details, we arrived on time. They told us that the table was available but they had run out of food! No thought to contact us and stop us from travelling some distance for a non event, and we were hungry. The Star in Rusper came to the rescue, accomodated us, initially with difficulty but as soon as a table came available we were seated and had an amazing Sunday lunch, thank you Kosta. Needless to say we will not bother with The Plough again Ver carta

The staff were great BUT… Waited for 15 mins for an over gassed pint of Guinness to settle. Ordered food which was absolutely atrocious! Lasagne with pieces of gristle in the meat. Dried out mash, with even drier veg, along with what can only be described as unbelievably soggy pastry on a steak and Guinness pie, which was surely made at least a day or two before. My recommendation is to drive past and try somewhere else. The ‘quaint and lovely’ comments on here must be from people who never ate the food! We left the ‘food and guinness’, paid the £40 and left, very disappointed!

Booked as it was Sunday and we thought it would be busy. When we arrived we were worried when we were told we could sit anywhere. We were the only people in the restaurant. Not a good sign! Service was appalling. Wait time for drinks and food was ages. Fortunately we hadn’t seen our friends for ages so we had plenty to talk about. We ordered two lamb roasts and two beef. My goodness they were bad. Covered in a brown water which I guess was gravy. Meat as tough as old boots and veg as hard as concrete. The only nice part was the horse radish sauce. Puddings were served in really hot bowls with Luke warm syrup sponge and custard. To get this took about four hours. I would have had another drin...

Meal for 7. Sat down at 3.20 and order quickly taken. Starters did not arrive until an hour later even though all but 2 were cold dishes. We waited until nearly 6 o'clock for our mains. Over 2 1/2 hours after ordering, even though the place was not busy (it was late afternoon). Four of the dishes immediately sent back. 3 were venison pie in fact turned out to be small sections of a much larger pie that has obviously been reheated as they were all heavily overcooked and very dry the gravy at the side of the pie slice was actually crispy! The other dish returned was slow cooked belly of pork that was as tough as old boots. It was served to a butcher who pointed out it was so thick it was clear... Ver carta
