The Old Plough in Lewes

Another good value Sunday roast but unless you like your food smothered in gravy I would ask for it to be served separately. Nice gravy but the quantity spoiled the presentation. Good pub and the selection of real ales was impressive, the quality of the London Pride was excellent

Great pub, love the Halloween decorations 😀 had a warm welcome from the new manager jack will be back again soon

Lovely little pub. Only had drinks but they were lovely.

We have been coming here on and off for over 15 years. Recently re-decorated, updated, but still an old pub feel. We went for the Dinner Jazz, 1st Saturday of the month, we knew the band from previous gigs. It was busy, so service was a bit slow, the food was good, but feels a bit over priced for pub dining, good beer and 0% alcohol selection. Seems there's a new landlord and a problem with a leaking roof that closed one part of the pub/dinning area. Hopefully the new team will bring it up to scratch. Overall a very enjoyable evening hadn't been for a while, but eaten there on and off for 15+ years, under various management, used to be independent, but now part of a chain. 0% Tanquary Gin and a pint if Long Man Old Man winter ale👍🏻😁. Changed hands again, food a bit more up market, fancy and pricey, around £15 for mains.

We ended up here by accident. We were looking for a fish restaurant we'd found on Google. Saw a solitary parking spot with this quant looking pub opposite. I went in to ask if they served food. Response, yes Sir we certainly do, please sit anywhere and someone will come to your table. We have lived in France for 22 years and they just do not do Fish and chips justice. We both opted for it. I had a smoked chicken terrine with caramelized onion chutney which was superb. The cod was perfect, large, boneless tasty with crispy batter. The chips were hot and plentiful. My wife enjoyed a luscious cherry cheesecake. The service was efficient, prompt and friendly, all food delivered with a genuine smile and enquiry into our satisfaction. The lovely young lady who took our payment was charming and genuinely interested in our opinion. All in all a fabulous end to our visit to the UK. Well done all of you. Just called again on our way back to France. Just had the Fish and chips, meal deal not available anymore. As before superb quality, huge portions of fresh white fish in crisp batter. Price increased by a bit but you cannot complain about the quality. Served piping hot with smiles from an efficient and courteous staff. Keep it going, over a 1000 people read my last review. Thank you.

Warm greeting on arrival. Excellent service when taking drinks and food orders from Olivia and food was excellent quality for the price.

We popped in for a Sunday lunch without booking and were lucky to get a table albeit in the bar area - we gave up waiting for the table to be cleared of plates and glasses etc from the last customers and ended up clearing it ourselves. We ordered drinks at the small bar and were charged nearly £12 for a small red wine and 2 glasses of coke, which seemed exhorbitant! The seating in the bar area is really not intended for dining as it is a mix of dining chairs and armchairs, all very old, ripped and tatty - defo more shabby than chic. I get that the pub happy to serve food to anyone anywhere they can find a seat but I'm not sure how you are expected to comfortably eat a meal off a low armchair when your chin is level with the table? The fish and chips meal was a reasonable price, it was quickly served, it was very good and was a generous portion. So overall a rather mixed experience for us.

Demonstrates the true state of the UK hospitality industry. Beer was warm, flat, dubious if it was the brand requested. The staff need a lesson in customer service, the cleaners need to be replaced with someone who cleans.

Staff very friendly and welcoming, very good price for the drinks. Food wasn’t so great, was over cooked and had been sitting a while, did also take an awfully long time to be served.

First time visitors (8 of us!), exceptional Sunday lunch. Meat cooked perfectly, lovely thick gravy and the roast potatoes, often disappointing when eating out, were really good. The bottomless yorkies, roasties and gravy is no lie and went down really well with those that unbelievably could still eat more after the generous meals served. Service was friendly and attentive too.

Great service,food very nice,waitress service superb,ice cream supplied as unable to have sugary desserts,worth a trip to seaford

We had a fantastic evening at the old plough. It was a celebration for my Grandsons 12th birthday. It was a great evening ✨

I can't believe they charged £14 for a hamburger! That price seems exorbitant, especially considering the experience I had. The food arrived cold, and the fries were so bad that it felt like they had been salvaged from the garbage. As for the hamburger, it was not only cold but also tasted as though it had been discarded, then hastily reheated. The whole experience left me questioning the quality and care put into the meal.

One of the best fish and Chips around the coast

Came down from London to take my deaf mum and disabled step dad for lunch. They chose the old plough.Got them to a table and went to the bar to order drinks. Single Jack Daniel’s , pint of bitter, half of cider, The barmaid gave me Jack Daniel’s and coke. I politely said I ordered single Jack Daniel’s. She gave it to me with ice, my mum did not want ice. I said am I speaking your language. Her reply was that’s how we serve it here!! Bad start, i ordered scampi & 2 beef burgers. They were ok. But the scampi was cremated. Call me old fashioned but a little customer service goes a long way. Very ordinary place. Expensive for what you get. Not on my. Bucket list.

Had a great meal there today. Mushroom wellington, was delicious. Haven't eaten there for a while because the last time a good few months ago was not good. But today, got it just right.

My partner and I visited late on Sunday afternoon (25/08/24). Reservations are required for the dining area but a couple didn't turn up for their 4pm booking so the table was offered to us. Poppy was very accommodating and knowledgeable of the drinks and Sunday roast menu options. My partner and I both had the veggie wellington with mine being vegan (so no creamed mash). The meals were delicious! We were looked after by Poppy and Elizabeth (with some help from Jamie from behind the bar) and the service was great! Elizabeth had mentioned to another table that a few staff had left recently (students moving on, etc.) so they dealt with the hungry Sunday hoards pretty well, all things considered. We very much look forward to visiting again next time we're in Sleaford and we highly recommend The Old Plough to everyone!

Had a really nice meal tonight. Haven't been in for while maybe 6 months or more. Found some favourite dishes on the 2-3 course menu that made it really good value. Food was out in good time, hot and tasty. We weren't rushed and was given plenty of time to decide. I did find an offer on the website for a free bottle of wine that was a nice touch and tasty with our food. Well done to the kitchen the food was great, thank you to the polite friendly staff. We will be back again to try other menu choices and purchase a bottle house wine to have with dinner as it was a lovely change to the normal. Thanks again and well done.

After a visit to the old plough this evening for a family meal. First the person took our order told after asking for a child’s roast beef was told could only have Turkey. After the food was delivered to our table we did not have the correct food. The standard of the food was well below a standard I would accept from your establishment such as yours. I appreciate you deal with holidaymakers therefore not important to you. We had to ask for cutlery and an abrupt conversation with a member of your staff. I would appreciate you looking at the standard of customer service at this pub.

Traditional pub set in the town of Seaford, next to the main church, a small garden which is always well used

Stopped of for a bite to eat and to grab a drink after a long drive to the coast. Interesting place on multiple levels, lots of little rooms with steps between them garden area is much the same with many tables to chose from. Clearly the building has lots of history. Staff are very pleasant and helpful service was quick and efficient. Bar is small but service was quick, we ordered food from the menu, quite a typical standard menu. I had the steak which was cooked as requested and accompanying extras were ok, but the pepper sauce was starting to split, but still edible. Wife had mushroom wellington huge puff pastry but not much filling and she didn't enjoy the mushroom filling as it was too spiced, but I think that's personal taste I think a vegetarian may enjoy the additional flavours, the roast parsnips and carrot were good but the potatoes appeared to have been multiple fried and were not good they were not eaten. Great place to stop for a beer and a chat with a good atmosphere, they are dog friendly with bowls out for the dog. Parking is on the surrounding roads and parking spaces are limited. Not a place to go if you are not able to navigate steps.

Lovely pub and food, outside seating area, great time had by all

Great experience with Sunday Roast , a pleasant place to have lunch on the way to the Seven Sisters walking tour

Laurel served us with a smile and happiness....jazz is a good evening...

Very disappointing I was really looking forward to my roast dinner as it stated on the menu crispy fluffy roast potatoes tender stem broccoli and honey glazed parsnips pork with crackling The spuds where soft and bright yellow The broccoli was like twigs the parsnip was tough as a broom handle No crackling no apple sauce I even had to ask for salt and pepper!!! No one came back to ask if it was ok Only ate it as I was hungry What a let down

Ordered hunters chicken, chicken tasted processed, couldn't eat it. Also ordered steak and venison pie, it tasted as if it was warmed up from the day before. Not nice. Disappointed, always had good meals in the past.

typical English pub family atmosphere I can't say anything about the cuisine, the kitchens were closed when I came. Reasonable price

En av servitriserna är glutenintolerant så jag fick hjälp av henne att välja rätt plus att puben har en extra meny ”non-gluten, vegetarian, vegan”. Vi delade på Nacho förrätten, stor portion, smakrik och med fin hetta. Tydligen populär pub. Prisvärt, trevlig miljö och olika öl och ale för dem som tål gluten. Min man valde den prisbelönta köttpajen med grov potatismos. Tyvärr ganska smaklöst, torrt och hårt även när han dränkte allt i den bruna såsen. Glutenfritt valde jag grillad kyckling (något gummiaktig konsistens) & chorizo med het tomatsås och nypotatis.

Very friendly staff and really delicious food. The Hunter chicken is recommended.

Two small glasses of red wine £10.30 - we used to like going in there but not at those prices.

Good pub experience, watched the semi-final of Euro 2024 together with English people. A beautiful experience!

Wonderful food, extremely friendly staff, We took our dog and were accommodated wonderfully, atmosphere was great. they had a “burn the bill” offer so our entire meal was comped !

The website portrays this place to be a beautiful little pub, on arrival I can advise it’s far from that. I was waiting 20minutes (in that time trying to work the app out and find children’s menu which they do not have on the app so wasted time doing this.) I then went to the bar and asked if they had kids menus to which they do but didn’t think to give them to me on arrival wasting 20minutes of time. I didn’t stay to find out what the food was like. Shockingly bad service, seem like nice people just doesn’t match what the website portrays.

Sunday roast dinner for 6 adults and 2 kids , good service, really good food. Will come back

This is my second visit and it did not dissapoint. On both occastions it has been very good. We all had the Sunday Roast which was a good size and well presented and cooked. The staff are helpful, polite and on point. I would highly recommend

Service was very good. Polite, efficient and quick with serving. Food is very good and reasonable. This is my second visit anf just like the previous visit I was not disappointed. I would recommend for a quick bite, a main meal or just a drink and a chat.

Most frendiest pub in Seaford, absolutely sublime service and cliantel

Very nice for lunch. Been 2 weeks running. Food was very tasty and reasonable price. The vege burger was delicious and chips amazing. Nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Had a very good dinner and drinks sitting in the garden area, good value.

Had 2 course lunch option, lovely food and very good value, really friendly and welcoming staff, nice comfy surroundings with large outdoor area if you wish to eat or drink outside, would definitely eat here again

Lovely day sat in the garden, we also had some very nice food!

Booked online for a 5pm dinner for two of us, really east booking process and confirmation received. Arrived at 5pm, waited 10pms for member of staff, she came eventually, really nonchalant and uninterested in us, she said she didn’t know we were coming, said “we print the lists in the morning and then don’t look again”! The restaurant was empty so we chose a table for two. She went off and then didn’t come back, instead she gave her undivided attention to a group of lads who had sat down behind us, they may have been staff on a break. We were really disappointed as have only had good experiences before. We felt like we were just a pain in the A*** for her so we got up and left. Now enjoying food in The Old Boot!

Me and my puppy Stanley had a lovely Sunday roast there this afternoon. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Tom

We travelled here from London to take someone recuperating out to lunch. 11 of us in total. Staff were pleasant and polite, food was good and we managed to park right outside. As it got busier we waited a bit longer but we were a big group so understood.

WOW just amazing food and staff Want to visit again and will recommend.

Friendly pub. Food decently priced.

Beautiful pub with a gorgeous sun trap of a beer garden. Staff are lovely 😍

Comfortable, clean and nice food Greta Scott.

A nice pub and enjoyed our experience, the staff are super efficient but the food is slightly disappointing for the price point. Still a lovely spot to sit outside!

Booked over the internet on spec, so didn't know what to expect. Nice meal very pleasant room & surroundings, staff pleasant & efficient. Only slight criticism, I had a steak & venison pie, although nice could have had more filling.

Booked requesting an outside table - outside wasn't full but we got an inside table. Early arrivals put in a bar order- it didn't arrive until everyone else was there and we chased it. Had to find staff to place food order - food was good. Placed an order for coffee and cocktails- the same waitress then approached us and asked if we wanted to order anything else! Said we'd just like what we'd already ordered! She chased it and eventually we got it, but I'd rate the service as EXCEPTIONALLY poor!

What I can only describe as promising but falling flat. By promising I mean....the welcome we got when we arrived, the Cold! Beers and the options/ variety of the menu were great and that's kind of where it ended for me sadly. I am not a key board warrior by any means, but I felt this visit required some constructive criticism. (I would have brought this to the manager/owners attention there and then but he looked extremely busy) understandable for a Sunday before a bank holiday So Maybe it was an off day or they were short staffed But..... With only 2 people maning the bar and taking food orders.....If you are looking at the Sunday Roast, with "unlimited" spuds, Yoshires and gravy. Be prepared for a VERY LONG wait. I think what my mother almost broke her teeth on was the orange and fig stuffing but who knows it was burnt to a crisp. I went digging for my pork crackling to eventually find one about half the size of my pinky. We asked for more of the unlimited options because the roasties were great but were told it would be 30min! Maybe that's the plan (no one wants to hang around for unlimited seconds if you waiting so long for the main then another 30min for the "unlimited" option 🤔) On a positive note, what pushed the food up to 3 stars was the Lamb Shank and roasties. It was lovely.

We visited twice in a week, it's over 50 miles from our home. A delightful boozer with great food and friendly staff.

Great food and very nice service.

Yummy pasta tageletteli, nice vibe. Saturday night, jazz night? Felt more for a coffee shop vibe in the day, not for a Saturday night when you wanna have a little boogy when your wavy lol

Delicious food and cosy atmosphere

A group lunch ,fish and chips exceptional, good priced wine tòo

Outside seating area was lovely in the sun! Self service drinks and some table service for food - but would recommend going to order at the bar. Food took pretty long! Expect a 45-1hr wait. Was a lovely spot for a stretched out afternoon!

Good for an impromptu late lunch

Friendly staff, let down by quality of food. Food was let down by vegetable prep and cookery. Had the award winning pie, it was a pity that the vegetables were far from award winning. Mash instead of being light and fluffy was the consistency of a flip flop. The roast veg nuked, broccoli not cleaned and stringy and non of it had been seasoned, just tasteless and poorly executed. Will give them another try, as everyone has an off day.

Lovely meal and friendly service

Really pleased with our overall experience. Service was really good, our waitress was friendly and helpful even after having a really busy afternoon. Food was great, large portions and served up hot. Would definitely visit again when l'm back in seaford.

Really nice pub. Food was excellent and staff very attentive.

Really nice pub! Staff were really friendly and chatty, slight wait on food as it was busy for Good Friday but definitely worth the wait! The cheese truffle tiger fries were so good!

Fantastic food! Friendly staff. Highly recommend to visit 🥰🥰🥰 Dog-friendly so bring your pet. Have special treats for dogs ❤️

Great place for lunch and a catch up, food was great and reasonably price, and nice pint to wash it down

Great service, very friendly waiting staff. Food was nice, Hot and we didn't have to wait long.

Brilliant, just brilliant! Staff are fantastic, food is plentiful and reasonably priced as are the drinks, of which the selection is superb. Try it! Update: A quiet Tuesday but perfect for post walk beers around 21:00.

painfully slow service, family members steak was very undercooked, quite unorganised and frantic while we where there. decent burgers though!

I was very disappointed. I was a regular the menu is a poor effort

The food was really good, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the only star I could knock off, wasn’t actually a problem for me, but, there were very few people in there and it took a little while for the food to arrive, I wasn’t in a hurry but if I had been, I may have had to rush my meal…

Me and a friend was down for the weekend, we tried 5 pubs in the area and The Old Plough was definitely the favourite! So we decided to go back the day after for a Sunday roast! The roast did not disappoint! They do bottomless Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and gravy but to be honest there was a lot already on the plate. We had the Mango Cider which was quite unusual but very tasty! Service was on point, Simon had a very good sense of humour and made us feel very welcome the moment we came through the door. I 100% recommend paying a visit if your in the area!!!

A lovely relaxed atmosphere with great service. We really enjoyed the jazz they had playing & our sleepy dog was made welcome too.

Delicious food - I had the yummy steak pie and chips. Excellent choice on the menu and everything my party had was fab. Friendly staff & great service. Will be back

Amazing food and service, lovely cosy atmosphere. Brownie desert is to die for. Very happy spending the afternoon here after our blustery and muddy walk. Highly recommend.

Great food, reasonable prices and friendly vibes. Would definitely come back again. We were very well looked after by our server (he had great taste in knitwear).

Shame, we used to like this pub, good food and good selection of draught beer. Unfortunately this time we were attempting to get another drink when all the bar staff vanished. We heard barrels being moved around in the cellar below so we understood there would be a delay. 15 minutes later a youngish chap (who we gather was the manager) emerged and immediately left the bar area and began collecting plates. My friend called across the bar to ask if anyone could serve us and got the reply “clearly I’m busy mate”. He then made strenuous efforts to find anything and everything he could to avoid serving us. So “clearly” we decided to leave and very much doubt we’ll ever return.

Went in a small group for a birthday lunch for my dad. Lovely food, lots of choice, great service, especially from poppy! Thanks so much, we will be back!

BEST Pub in Seaford!! Have been going here for years, my local and only pub I use in Seaford. Travel to Eastbourne to use other pubs, they're great but still don't beat Old Plough

We tend to go here for my daughter's birthday as a big family party. They've always been really good, good food with choices for everyone, and very accommodating of dogs and kids! Had a lovely time again today, our server Olivia was great. We'll be back again next year (and sooner for Sunday lunch as a smaller group)!

.Lovely pub food and great service. Chilled atmosphere. Reasonably priced and love that it is child and dog friendly..

Lovely restaurant and staff, food was delicious I had the lamb shank. My son had monteray Jack burger. Worth booking if we hadn't we wouldn't have got a table.

Divine food, very close to the beach. Plus amazing decorations. The staff are very kind and tend to all needs. Amazing selection of drinks and condiments.

Amazing service by Liv and Simon. Very nice atmosphere with exquisite pictures on the walls and nice decor on table. Proper old plough pub!

Old fashioned pub with a modern take No food, drinks only (Reasonably priced and some local products) Excellent location near the train station and town centre A large pub garden which is fantastic in the summer

Out for a relaxing wind-down drink. One very loud member of the restaurant staff effing and blinding repeatedly. Not once, twice but repeatedly. Anyone recall Vicky Pollard? She's alive and well working at the Plough.

I wish the food was fresh. So much pulled out of the freezer. Better to reduce menus choice and produce fresh food. Also they have staffing issues.

Excellent food and wonderful service! Highly recommend the Sunday Lunch!! Poppy was so helpful. Also recommend the Stick Toffee pudding with Baileys for dessert.

Great Sunday lunch, very generous portions, very reasonable prices. The children said all the food was delicious. Good service by very friendly Liv & Poppy. Thank you!

A fantastic pub/restaurant, the Sunday roast was yummy. Very friendly staff who were attentive and welcoming. Will def be back soon.

You can't fault the staff....they were prompt and courteous, place is clean...don't know the Sunday roast was just meh ! Meat from the trio roast was good and tender, but the veg just Lacking and meh! Husband said the venison and steak was 'hunt the meat out' The other picture is hunter chicken but forgot to ask my son his opinion

Upon entering we were greeted with a happy smile from a chap at the bar and directed to where we needed to be for the restaurant. We were promptly seated and had our orders taken. I opted for the chicken and pancetta pie which was amazing, however I was a little let down by the portion sizes of the vegetable accompaniments. A tad more and it would be 5 stars all round!

Turned up for a drink only to find not welcome for a drink not a pub any more!! Shouldn't put off locals!!! Made to feel totally uncomfortable Rude staff would recommend not Worth going there

Stopped for a drink. Friendly staff but pub was cold so didn't stay long. Food looked amazing

No staff to be seen on entering the Pub. The meat pie had very little meat and we spent most of the meal listening to the kitchen and bar staff standing in the restaurant talking very loudly and swearing. I can understand now why the...

They sell wine. And wine is good. So...

We found the plough a good place for lunch. Good value food and our dogs were welcome.

Great food and service. Breakfast is amazing especially on a Sunday. Sunday roasts are also top notch and even a perfect pub quiz to finish the week

Food was superb, best pub food I have had in a long time. Service was great, they done very well as there were a lot of us. Will definately be returning.

Great little pub hidden away from the main area of Seaford. Great friendly, courteous and professional staff. Could not give a star rating for food, as I only went for a drink. Looking at what others are eating it looks great. The bar area is not cluttered or too many table close together. Very clean and tidy and this cleanliness is also showed in the toilets. There is an ample sized beer garden which in the summertime would be a great place to hang out. Prices are reasonable for a pub in the southern region of the country but not as cheap as they are Sheffield. But that is neither here or there. Overall a great welcoming pub with staff that are a credit to the landlord. Definitely five stars from my point of view.
