The Old Plough in Elmbridge

All good and very busy for Sunday lunch, fortunately we were seated in the barn outside. Service was brisk and to the point and getting some attention was not easy sometimes. The only real negative was the state of the gents, the floor was quite wet and the room was very smelly. How much is a bottle of bleach and a quick mop around?

Really nice dinner with great service. Despite the restaurant being packed everything was perfectly executed and we had a great evening. Good burgers at lunch also.

Been here a few times, it's always packed and the food is great.

Convivial place with great food, and gf options. Draft beer (bitter) too. Always seems to be a busy restaurant.

Great pub restaurant , wonderful atmosphere. We will be back

Held my daughter’s 30th birthday party in the barn last weekend with 26 of us having a late Sunday lunch. The barn itself was warm and comfortable for an October afternoon, with heaters and all enclosed. It had very pretty fairy lights all round creating a cosy lovely ambience. We were free to put up a banner and balloons and they very kindly arranged the tables in a U shape which worked really well. Having the barn to ourselves made it extra special. The staff were absolutely fantastic. From all my emails and calls prior to the day with Joe and Michael and then on the day itself. Nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel very welcome and accommodated us brilliantly. I can’t remember the names of everyone sadly but each person who was attending to us in the barn were just lovely. We could even bring a cake for which they provided plates and brought it in to the birthday girl with candles ablaze. I find the food here is always amazing, which is the reason we chose to have her celebration here in the first place, but I wasn’t sure how such a large group booking would go.. they did not disappoint! Their amazing starters were just the ticket as always but the Sunday roasts!! Arrived with huge Yorkshire puddings, very generous portions, roasties to die for, an abundance of veggies and next level cauliflower cheese.. it was superb! Everyone had a fabulous time and we can’t thank them enough for making our special occasion so wonderful. I highly recommend the place.

Had a family members birthday here in the barn. The staff were super helpful and caring nothing was too much for them they all went the extra mile. Food was great and lovely location. Top marks guys keep up the grwat wirj

Food is absolutely incredible, but the service 100% lives up to the same standard. Had the best time with family & friends, all 27 people were delighted by their food & very impressed with the team & their service. Thank you!

Despite the location itself is a bit inconspicuous [parking spaces in the backyard! you don't have to do street parking...], the Old Plough is one of the best restaurant/pubs in the Walton-Weybridge-Cobham area. Great service! Fantastic food [soups, burger, vegi] (!) and very much classic but stylish English country club interior.

This is a very successful Pub of that no doubt. Today though a very long wait for mains to arrive! I suspect kitchen was short staffed. Well handled by the waiting crew. On final arrival the Calves Liver was huge hit. Burger very average

An all round amazing place to eat and drink. I highly recommend it.

What a wonderful find! Booked last minute and we were well looked after. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend. A special mention to our waiter Kieran. ⭐️

Reasonable food & friendly service. A bit too noisy.

Just a quite midweek lunch snack and beer but all 100% good. Check it out..it's worth it

Near faultless service during a very busy Sunday.

Such a lovely place! Incredible food, very different from any other restaurant, attentive staff, and the dessert is out of this world. Highly recommended for special occasions!

Excellent menu with matching food quality and service, at reasonable prices* in a very attractive environment and pleasant ambience. Highly recommended and will visit again when in area. (*Wines prices somewhat on the higher side, but food is genuinely very reasonably priced v quality and service).

Lovely environment , friendly staff and delicious food. X

Really nice family meal at the old plough, efficient service and healthy portions of very tasty food across the board.

We went here for an impromptu late lunch, having been here before and based on that worth coming back. We had to wait for a little bit just because the area we wanted to sit in hadn't any tables available. So we had a drink in the picnic table area. When we got sat, only 10mins wait, the service was swift and attentive. Now the main thing: the food. My otherhalf had the steak pie special and I went for the rib eye steak. Pie: good size and its actually a pie, not a stew with pie crust on top. Good fluffy mash and nice gravy. My steak was cooked to perfection. I am normally not a fan of thick cut chips but these were lovely. Side of veggies were crunchy. Well worth the visit.

Busy obviously very popular Great menu service and ambience will be back very soon 😀

A really super place! Happened upon the place by chance and wish I could return very soon as it is an excellent establishment. As we hadn't booked we were given a table in the garden and our drinks arrived very promptly. Our order for food was taken and again both out courses arrived very promptly .Food was delicious and staff were very attentive even though the pub was heaving. 2 courses on a Sunday is £25.50 which was unbelievably good value. Highly recommended

My friend and I went in It was quite busy (we hadn’t booked a table) and asked at the bar if we could eat. The helpful man directed us to the restaurant maitre d” (friendly chap on the till in the restaurant) who quickly found us a table. We then asked if we could move outside as it was busy inside and quite noisy and again it was no problem and he quickly and cheerfully found us another table outside. We were shown by a lovely waitress to a table outside undercover and ordered drinks and food - letting the staff know my friend has an allergy to nitrates in food. We were asked to choose and they would speak to the chef about how our choice might be able to be changed to accommodate her. What a FABULOUS attitude to allergens. I chose the fish platter as a main and my friend chose the salmon. The chef offered to make a garlic butter sauce (nitrates free), which was such a refreshing change to many places where you just have to go without any sauces/mayo of the item containing nitrates. So all in all. Our food was absolutely delicious. The service and welcome we recieved FROM EVERY MEMBER of staff we encountered was exceptional - Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and all done with a smile. The chef and staff were extremely accommodating regarding my friends allergy and to top it all we had the smiliest and cheeriest of waitresses :-) The pub has a lovely ambience and is very welcoming. It’s very rare to go to a Restaurant/pub/gastro pub where everything is perfect - But it really was. They nailed it!

Well made, tasty food, been here a few times now and it never disappoints.

Beautiful traditional mid size pub with middle age to older crowds, good value and delicious food.

Came here for easter lunch. Lamb roast only had two slices which was rather disappointing and didn’t even come with a Yorkshire pudding, we had to ask for one on the side. Starters and deserts were great though.

Still great beer and good food.

Great food & people...we will 100% recommend this place.....had a lovely dinner visiting from Switzerland

Called in on off chance as local restaurant we had booked had let us down and was closed. The Staff at The Old Plough were SO accommodating. From the person at restaurant entrance/maitre 'd'..the chef regarding my friends Nitrate allergy and the waitress was a cheerful delight. Service and food superb 👌 Absolutley can recommend and will def return. I had the fish sharing plate as a main and my friends had the salmon.. The chef made her a garlic butter sauce as she couldent have the mayo that came with the dish... Could not fault anything about our lunch and the staff 😋

Had a lovely lunch in the outdoor heated area.

Lively but lovely pub with nice atmosphere

First time I've been on a Sunday and the roasts weren't great - it felt liked they'd sat there from lunch until teatime. Service was perfect as ever!

We had dinner here this evening and the staff and food were fantastic! We had a mix table of vegans and normos and the staff made us feel exceptional welcome and did a fantastic job of catering to everyone's needs. I'd definitely recommend you come for a meal here!

Really excellent Sunday lunch today. Very extensive menu choice and good wine at reasonable prices. Really good to go somewhere where the service comes with a smile.

Food was disappointing, but good service and selection of beers

As usual, no complaints even being rammed packed

Just had dessert, sticky toffee pudding. Wonderful. You should go just for that. Went with my daughter for lunch yesterday. We had excellent bar food, prawns and squid, chipolatas in honey and mustard, pork belly and chips with peppercorn sauce. Ya gotta try it.

Beautiful find online, looking for a lovely lunch place . The menu was perfectly created for Sunday with a wide range of choices to suit most palates. We were warmly welcomed entering the bar and proceeded to have drinks on high table in the bar area. The place was bustling inside and out in the beautifully kept garden. We were seated outside on a table under a covered terrace . Our food choices were easily picked and arrived swiftly. The bang bang cauliflower and tofu salad was amazing great sauce and perfect portion size , my husband chose the chicken version. He followed with Roast Lamb for main and I opted for the falafel and halloumi burger , although not a vegetarian I chose because they attracted me on the menu straight away . Too full for a desert but had a lovely liqueur coffee in the bar before collected our daughter from Gatwick. What a great find , would love a repeat visit when next in the area, the surround areas are beautiful.

Always good food, great service, always full so book. Bar is dog friendly

Excellent service , great food , real value for money, Sunday lunch x2 courses £24.50 immaculate surroundings lovely staff led by Donna who makes everyone feel welcome a tele professional. The service exceeded any restaurant I've visited since covid , well done and thank you !

Very busy pub with much better than usual food and service.

This place is the best best best. One of our favourite ever restaurants as the food is always impeccable and you can guarantee that you’ll end up loving pretty much anything you order!

We have lived in the area for quite some time and used The Old Plough a lot over the years. Its formula for success is based on an interesting mix of different things. For example, it has a small bar area which is reminiscent of the old-fashioned style English pub. It has a large space for outside dining which they’ve expanded and is also very pleasant. They have a nice restaurant with quite a small footprint and a relatively low ceiling, which means that noise can be transmitted with greater amplification than in a larger area! The Menu offers a good choice and is professionally cooked and prepared. It could be more varied and a slightly higher standard but that’s being g a bit picky. The staff are very good. They also take care of the garden spaces which are well maintained and offer a nice sense of tranquility. Although less relevant, or important to us, it’s very close to Cobham Railway Station. Utopia, well not quite … Success always comes at a price with increasingly larger Groups, ergo much greater traffic, which impacts on things like being able to park. It’s also right by Chelsea Training Ground which adds more traffic and fan spotters! There is a car park which is quite tightly configured with width of spaces dating back to before SUV’s became the de rigeur mode of transport. Plus lately it’s become more difficult to find a space. Therefore, parking overspills to the road but there’s limited space there at busy times. The attraction of larger groups impacts on “noise” levels. A restaurant cannot really control this but it has forced us to go elsewhere on occasions and be aware that there are some very good alternatives in Cobham. Subconsciously it’s fallen off our auto pilot choice so we default to other establishments more frequently now. Shame as it’s very good!

Has been a while since I visited The Old Plough and I had forgotten just how good it is. Food was excellent and our Puglian waiter (afraid I don't know the name) was great. Only downside the sheer number of diners making for a rather frenetic ambience and a real parking challenge once the car park has reached saturation point. We should book an earlier slot next time.

Beautiful pub. Service great. Food was absolutely rubbish. How difficult is it to make a burger? Mine was burnt and tasteless. I was offered to have it changed but would you want to sit there eating on your own when everyone else is finished? The least they could have done was not to charge or to give a massive discount. I will never eat there again

Visited on a very busy Friday, staff very accommodating and attentive and the food was great.

Brilliant lovely staff and excellent food.

The first time I had legit Fish & Chips with mushy peas in London, it was exquisite. Although it was quite busy and took a bit of time for our party to get our first round of drinks...the entire experience was fantastic. Cheers.

Great pub, lovely food, cold beer. Lovely sitting in the gardens.

Good gastro pub food. Decent wine selection and good beer. Can’t ask for much more than that.

I have eaten at this pub many times now. The food and service are always excellent. It's always busy which is good for the pub, but a little noisy for me, who struggles as I wear hearing aids. However, they always give us a corner table, which helps. I thoroughly recommend, but make sure you book well in advance to guarantee a table.

Great friendly service. Fabulous food.

Proper gastro pub. Excellent food at reasonable prices (for London). We always go here when we're in the area. Strong recommendation.

It has to be the best pub in England 😄

The Old Plough never disappoints. Another great meal there today.

Wonderful meal. Lovely to sit outside. Good place to meet with friends

Great place for a meal with good choice of wines by the glass and some great wines by the bottle along with a reasonable choice of beers. Food was excellent with a good choice although I would say there is a slight fish bias in the main courses, there are non fish options as well! They were very helpful when it came to having gluten free options.

Great food and service. Good old traditional English pub.

We had a brilliant lunch here with some friends who had a baby. Everything was great, the table waiting for us when we arrived. Service was very relaxed, we had a lovely waitress who didn't rush us. The food was excellent too, served at a very relaxed pace. The only thing that dampened the experience is we were rushed to give up the table in an abrupt way, with no warning, as a "group of 20 had arrived and needed the table now". I absolutely understand they needed the table but the dad in our party, with a baby on his lap enjoying dessert, had not finished his dessert or drink, and was made to feel very uncomfortable by the sudden announcement. We believe the server who made the announcement was stressed and didn't handle the situation properly, as we then had another member of staff, presumably senior, offer us another temporary table to finish. Had we had a 15 min warning, at least, we would've made sure to finish in time. Hopefully, they'll manage these situations better in the future.

Great food and service, but their success has attracted VERY loud large party tables! We literally, couldn’t talk and neighbouring tables left early since it was unbearable. This has happened twice in the last two weeks. We popped in early evening for a drink and dinner, but chose not to stay because of table 20+ were making it deeply unpleasant for nearby tables. Tonight an inside table of 12 were having an awesome evening, but no fun for anybody nearby. It’s changing from great vibe where you can chat and laugh to a really loud boozer for large party tables.

The food is very nice and Always hot and cooked Properly I recommend the food Very tasty

Good food, great ambience. Dog friendly as well

Very busy pub on a back holiday weekend. Had a lovely meal approx £30 each for two courses and drinks. Friendly and attentive staff. Good GF options. Staff had to check the soup of the day, we must have been the first order!? Overall a good experience, we would return.

Lovely meal, but can get noisy. But probably pub/restaurant around the area

Excellent food, excellent service, even though very busy. A little pricey but to be expected in that area

Perfect country pub, well, stockbroker country, feel. Tasty food and helpful staff. Thanks.

Arrived late but manager was superb and got us a menu. The meals arrived very swiftly and were so well presented the way it was cooked and tasted was exceptional. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment this well designed and run pub had to offer. I can't rate it high enough.

Lovely busy Sunday, excellent garden and beers. Great service 👏.

Great service & great food in very pleasant surroundings. The good sized car park was appreciated too. We'll worth a visit.

Went here a couple of weeks ago. I messed up the booking timing and even though they were full.at the time required they accommodated us. The servers were friendly and attentive. Service was at a good pace,the food was really good as was the ambience. A great dining experience.

Only had a quick drink but a lovely spot to sit and relax on a sunny day. Large and pretty garden at the back.

First time visiting after reviews I'd seen on trip adviser. My starters came out fast but my mains were delayed. Unfortunately these things happen but what stood out to me was the service I received from Michael, he was so understanding, polite and professional. He made my experience worth while and I want to say a huge thank you, really appreciated his kindness. I will visit again!

A great recommendation from Jeremy and Sue in Leatherhead.

Great pub with tasty food, fast service and friendly staff. The garden is nicely decorated as well.

Visiting from Australia..great food and lovely staff.

Great food! Lovely staff. Thank you

Excellent bar and dining area with super menu selection available. Friendly staff

Great pub. Charming indoor dining area and lovely outdoor dining area in a cabana with heaters. The food was upmarket for a pub. All very well prepared for such a large group. Small but good collection of wines and beers. Friendly and helpful service.

What a wonderful bar/restaurant. Arrived early at our hotel just down the road so went looking for a local pub. Stumbled on this absolute gem. Great food, great selection of drinks, really friendly and attentitive staff, very quick food following order, despite being busy. It was 230pm and it was alive with people chatting and NOONE on their phone!! Great street parking too, single yellow line - only restricted early morning. I had bubble and squeak with griddled ham and poached egg. Delicious! A big thank you to the staff. If we are back in the area you will be our first choice.

We booked this for Sunday lunch well over 3 weeks in advance. Within moments of sitting down at 12pm, the first sitting, we were told to make our food order immediately as they had a 'busy day'. We ordered our food promptly and when it came out, it was bland, dry and disappointing. Before some of us had even finished, our wine glasses were removed, clearly suggesting we couldn't stay even though we had another hour left on our booking. I very rarely complain but the food and drinks equated to a lot of money. We were not felt welcome or wanted! I would suggest people save their money and find much better food and service else where!

Food is fantastic. It is always busy, sometimes too busy and feels a little hectic but the food is so good, understandable that everyone wants to be here.

First visit here and would certainly return. Felt it was good value for money Staff were all very friendly. Food was really good.

Great pub especially for a Sunday sit-down. Gets busy albeit a good sign

The food was amazing and really good on a hot day and the steak sandwich phenomenal also the salmon and cheese sandwich is mouthwatering good

Delightful efficient courteous staff. Made a special moment for our dinner guest, it was their birthday. Much appreciated.

Food choices were good but all bread for burgers contains egg!! Why do we need egg in bread? They offered me gluten free option which also contained egg. Ended up with a very hard and dry ciabata instead. Not worth the £16 for the burger!

Very good Sunday roast. Excellent yorkshire pudding. I was not impressed with the sausages 😕 and mash 😞 otherwise very good place buzzing at Sunday lunch

Mother's day lunch - professional staff but not a single smile seen from any of the team. Food was cooked well but tasted bland. Men's toilet floor was slippery all over I nearly fell over. First visit here - overall nothing amazing here, which I think I was looking for. 4 stars is being generous.

A great place with the most delicious food! A great outdoor area for the summer months too. We will definitely be back

Lively friendly pub, very busy on a Sunday lunchtime. Parking is tricky. Good quality food and an interesting starter menu particularly. Sea bream was highly recommended by one of our party. Thought the prawn and avocado appetiser looked a little underwhelming although I didn’t order it myself. Ice creams were excellent.

We have been here several times and never eaten anything but excellent dishes. This time it was Saturday evening and the place was absolutely full with maybe 100 diners yet they were able to produce fabulous food, well presented, in a timely manner and with top quality service. I cannot recommend this pub, and it's sister establishments, enough. I can't wait to return.

Amazing service - Holly and the whole team were so lovely to arrange for a surprise happy anniversary desert with a candle for my parents 60th wedding anniversary. Excellent food and service. We will definitely be back.

Just amazing, ordered from the light lunch menu and couldnt even finish it. Delicious bacon and brie sandwich with home made mayo on the side. Good selections of beers, larger and ales. I'll definately be back, rare to find such good value for money with fantastic food and a warm atmosphere.

Busy on a Saturday afternoon with good atmosphere. Extensive and varied menu. Plenty of parking. Good value. Sharing fish platter was nice.

We sat in the barn, an additional area not outside but not in the main house. Service was good,, and there are ambient heaters. The food on a Sunday is limited to your traditional Sunday roast and extras. £25 for starter and main. A good popular pub, in fact very popular, consider booking in advance. Food is gastro pub standard. We would love to go back.

Everything was really good, we had a pleasant time. The food was exceptional just like the service. I would highly recommend this place, it has a unique atmosphere.

This is a great gourmet pub in Cobham. We have been hundreds of times over the years and there is a clear reason for that. The food is wonderful, the staff are great and the service is just great.

What a gem. The food, the service and the ambience are spot on. Best pub in the area

Had a lovely Saturday lunchtime meal with friends. Food was delicious and we had a friendly waitress who made our lunchtime experience even better 🤗 Would highly recommend the slow cooked duck

So we get there packed o didn’t want to go there but my parents wanted to we go out side the seating was in a shed around 100 times they came and tried to give us the wrong food then we got the food wasn’t very good at all then we go back my parents wanted a drink but there was a huge line of like 50 people
