The Plough in Reigate and Banstead

Just popped in for a drink. Very sociable pub

Staff very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the food let them down. I had the cottage pie and have to say that it fell far short of expectations. Vegetables practically raw and pie itself not browned on top. My friend had the salmon and his comments echo mine. It fell very short of expectations.

Great little pub popped I after my nephews christening

We had a lovely calm lunch here during the week. Food was very tasty 😊

Nice pub But I couldn't afford to drink there !!!!!!

We had a lovely lunch with a toddler and 2 dogs in tow. The jerk chicken burger was delicious and huge with amazing chips. The vegetarian curry was also really nice. Such a great local pub and perfect next to the fire after a dog walk in winter

Friendly and welcoming team, will go back.

Great pub, awesome location if you are walking the dog first, drinks are expensive though, we paid £16 for two drinks! Ouch! They have brought back the mixed grill on the menu, I will return to try it, as before it was taken off of the menu after Covid it was the best mixed grill in Surrey!

Thank you so much guys for a fantastic afternoon. You made my dad's 80th birthday a pleasure 🙏 x

We went from Spain and we loved its cozy and exciting atmosphere, as if you were in a medieval tale, we enjoyed a delicious meal and its very beautiful gardens to spend a summer evening

Arranged to meet with a friend last Monday at 19.30, ordered a pint each to be told 15 mins later at 19.45 you need to drink up we are closing in 5 minutes…what a joke, don’t bother going, this pub many years ago was great, not much hope the latest owners are going to change for the better, the garden is falling apart and has rubbish dumped in it like old tv Ariel’s - a sad demise of what was a very successful public house. Don’t bother

My husband and I looking forward to spot of lunch. However no Roasts, never mind! I opted for pie and mash and husband has a burger chops. When it arrived the chips were greasy and cold. My pie was chicken veg in dish with mash on top (not pie and mash I expected, was hoping for pastry...) also drinks very expensive

Went to visit as heard under new management with children now being welcomed. Made to feel very welcome by the staff even with a toddler in tow. I had the bbq wings & Jerk Chicken burger is amazing! Can’t wait to come back to try more of the food!

Great garden on a lovely sunny afternoon. I liked the pub and will deffo go again.

Well done to The Plough for their Oktoberfest '23 - they made a real effort and the bands were excellent (especially the latter two for our age group). Maybe you could promote the event more for the evening part as the bands deserved more people in attendance.

Great food, we were still able to sit comfortably in the beer garden in September.

Amazing pub lovely homely feel and the food is top!

Always been a great little place. Now under new management, I think they are finding thier feet a little, they had problems with some of the food and had run out of both food and drink items including such things as diet coke and orange juice. I hope they find their way soon and wish them all the best. However, the price point of the food means that we will be unlikely to go there to eat on a regular basis.

Having heard the pub had changed hands, my husband and I went for Sunday lunch at the weekend. We were disappointed. The menu was different than that on the website. Pork roast was mediocre, meat fatty & gristly. Warm chicken salad was very non inspired. We won’t go again till we hear there’s been a marked improvement.

Very nice pub , has a new management now from Aug ,2023

Nice place with garden. Great service, friendly with Renzis also !

Beautiful location. Garden with shade and sun. Didn't eat but food looked amazing. Staff attentive & professional.

This is a local pub with a big atmosphere. The staff are friendly and the food is good. They have a great beer garden for those hot summer days. Lots of old nooks and crannies to enjoy a nice drink in the winter as well. Open fires and welcoming people. It is also dog friendly.

Very friendly pub with a beautiful garden.

Really enjoyed my visit. The surrounding was both traditional with touches of modern. The food was lovely and the staff were warm and welcoming.

Very beautiful pub! Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere!

Fantastic old-style pub. All good after 5 years.

Best pub in Redhill. Not even close.

Tip Top - Little Gem, Great staff, Great Venue – Great Food, Superb garden – Great Ales. Thanks to all the Team @ Plough

Diverse selection of customers and passers by (sometimes cycling a penny- farthing)

Nice food, lovely atmosphere and reasonable prices. Staff friendly and helpful

Nice pub Friendly staff Good food Great locals

Very friendly pub Great beer and food

Brilliant atmosphere, reasonably priced and delicious food!!

Olde Worlde pub with a good atmosphere and pleasant service. Enjoyed a tasty lunch here. Parking is on the road.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this pub. My friends and I wanted to have a drink yesterday inside, but we were refused entry because we had a 6 month old baby with us. Instead, we were told to sit in the garden, which was freezing cold. It was unacceptable and I would not recommend this pub to anyone with young children.

gem of a pub. Great cask beer with variety. Good atmosphere. Friendly and interesting staff . Give it a try.

Took my daughter and grandsons for her birthday. Excellent food, service and value. Would definitely return.

Great food in an atmospheric little pub

Excellent location with plenty of outside tables in the garden, spent an excellent 5hrs in the sunshine catching up with old friends enjoying excellent food with great service.

Sunday roast beef and fish and chips with a pint of local ale. Definitely recommended, everything cooked to perfection with the roast, we will be back for this. Fish and chips, the batter was so fine and crispy, not a bit doughy, fish wasn't over cooked, just juicy. Would also recommend this too, great garden atmosphere, see you again for another Sunday meal and a chilled chat with friends.

Very nice and quiet pub. You can sit in and out also. There's no music (wasn't any the times I have been there) so no crazy party there! 😄 Nice pub to relax, have your drinks and nibbles and chat with your friends and family.

Lovely food, lovely garden area.

Friendly staff, nice terrace and really enjoyed the sandwich

Went there for the Sunday roast. The portions are quite big but food was really well cooked, nice variety of vegetables. Excellent service. My only negative would be the cost of the drinks. They are like London prices. We would have had a few more drinks but decided to go to my local instead.

Very nice local pub. More for locals, but friendly for tourists, me. Older style, which I enjoy. Outside seating available.

Great place for a drink and also to eat lovely staff

Nice local pub in Redhill by the Church road. Went with family friend for the first time for a drink as they r living in the area. Has front outside seating. They have large back garden nice and loads of seating. Perfect for private hire and celebrating special occasions. The decors inside amazing! Has well maintained toilet facility. Loads of drinks to chose from. Plenty of parking by side road. Though road is busy at times Recommended. Will try the food next time. Definitely coming back.

Nice garden and enjoyed the food as well.

Great food. The best chips! And super staff.

Welcoming, friendly service. Choice of bar food, sandwiches etc, all freshly made. We visited fairly early at lunchtime and had plenty of space both inside and out. The food was excellent and we will certainly be back.

Went in on Easter weekend and sat in the garden, which tbf is nice. The landlord didn't like us moving some chairs to get more around the table, made a big show of thinking through the reservations before he said it was ok (there ended up only being 3 other tables occupied whilst we were there) Then another member of staff came out a bit later and pointlessly moved cusions around whilst she kept an eye on us. In addition we couldn't have cucumber in a G&T because.. "It's all for the salad". Just a bit odd all round and did not feel welcome at all. Having said that, they have some good beers/ ales on and food has been ok when eating there before.

Stopped here today after a walk with the dog. Sat on the benches outside to have a couple of drinks and some crisps. Staff were friendly and service was quick and nice atmosphere

Really love this pub, fantastic traditional English pub/restaurant

Good food. Lovely garden for summer. No children under 10.

Well looked after by staff, enforce covid rules and protection. Food very good plenty of veg lovely beef .

Great bar staff lager served at a good cold temp. Food needs some improvements which new team are aware of but dealt with issues quickly and offered correct customer service to recompense for inconvenience. Will visit again soon.

Absolutely amazing staff. Very caring and considerate. Cannot stress enough how nice and friendly the atmosphere is. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Great beer garden in the rear of the pub. Beer prices were not extortionate and staff were friendly, I'll be returning in the future.

Sub standard food. Not as good as it used to be. Also quite expensive

Great local pub, lovely beer garden out back, good for dogs too

Very good pub, with a stunning garden on back, very cosy interior inside and friendly staff... Definitely a place to come back..

Management and service not what it was. Better places to go. Always seems to be some sort of drama going on.

Been here a few times, always great and especially enjoy the garden!

My colleagues and I really enjoyed meeting here. We went in April June.The food was excellent. Staff warm and welcoming. The only slight drawback was the limited menu but understandable given just coming out of covid restrictions . The pub garden is lovely and us a nice place to sit and chat over a pint.

The staff are great. I really enjoy visiting this great local!

Had a lovely lunch and afternoon with you

I have been twice, as there isn't much else in the area and the first time was more or less OK. The second time though, my word... Goes to show you that if you have an historic building with a big garden you have a licence to print money. But it would be nice if they put half the effort into looking after their beer that they do into trying to outdo other venues in terms of overzealous Covid rules.

Excellent pub with lovely beer garden, friendly staff, and great beer!

Lovely meal in the plough today. Very well organised with covid restrictions. Excellent service.

I was so excited that the Plough was reopening as I’ve enjoyed many happy times there in the past. We had our pre-wedding drinks there in 2016 and enjoyed a lovely day there the day after too. Sadly today our visit was not enjoyable. On a lovely warm spring day we were basically given a table inside a shed. We asked to be moved and we were told that all the other tables were booked. (Why was I less important than any of the other tables???). When I mentioned that I had not been asked when I booked if I wanted to be in the sun or not the reply was ‘we didn’t know it was going to be sunny’. We then got moved to a better table but it was a shame there was so much fuss about it. The service from then on was poor, we had to keep asking for things and we were not treated like we were welcome at all. I had to apologise to my friend who had travelled down from London to visit our ‘lovely’ local pub. When we left there were still tables available in the sun, why couldn’t we have been allocated one of those in the first place? I have told my family and friends who live nearby about my experience. I always give places leeway especially at difficult times like this but our experience was so bad I will not be visiting again anytime soon. What a shame. I felt like they had absolutely no interest in us being there.

This pub is closed, due to the restrictions that are in place, just sat outside waiting for a lift. Can't believe you have asked for a post!!!!!

Lovely people, good food, great atmosphere

My local pub. Traditional, friendly place with great staff. A varied range of customers and you are always made to feel welcome.

Lovely old fashion pub. Typical pub food. Forgot to take pictures of the food! Also have a lovely garden. It is just a pity that children are limited. Were there yesterday and the covid-safe arrangements worked well.

Excellent covid safety measures in place.

Good food and drink, very well set out for covid19 too

Great outdoors eating environment, pleasant staff, good food.

Lovely little pub with a large beautiful garden. Sitting outside in the sun was perfect. Great selection of drinks to chose from including ales and ciders. The food was gorgeous and not a bad price. It was quite busy but the food still came quickly. Will be going back.

Quality little establishment in a lesser-travelled part of Redhill. They serve Surrey Hills shere drop which is a CAMRA award winning real ale. The garden is bigger than most. You can see St Johns church and the pair of nesting peregrine falcons whilst sipping a beverage. Yes peregrine falcons- the fastest animal on this planet! Real ale and fast brids: why are you still reading this review? Get down there now. Guy

Have been a regular to this pub for over 10 years and enjoyed a visit on first day of lockdown being lifted for pubs.The landlords, dave and Emma have worked hard adhering to the social distance rules and everything was in place.I have heard that a few pubs have not taken the same safety advice,, so basically if you want a drink in a safe environment, then this is the place. Looking forward to visiting again during the week and seeing a few of the regulars..... At a safe distance

Great welcome,such friendly staff which reflex on the great atmosphere....proper real homemade food..its a must

Very nice friendly pub, Ale always good.

Loved this place. Reasonable pricing and good beers!

A cosy pub on edge of Earlswood Common making it a nice stop after a walk. It has four well served ales on top including Progress from the local Pilgrim Brewery. In the summer it has a roomy pub garden with plenty of seating including a covered section. When it's cold a cosy interior with a log fire and snug comfy chairs. Really friendly bar staff too 😀

We had a lovely Sunday lunch. Good food well presented. Thank you

Really great pub and friendly atmosphere

This is a great pub. I have been here many times and have never been disappointed with the food, or the friendliness of the staff. I booked my father’s 90th birthday lunch here, and the staff really helped make it a special occasion. We were with a group of very elderly people and it took a while for everyone to settle and order their food. The staff were incredibly patient and understanding. It is not the first time I have experienced outstanding service here. The atmosphere is always relaxed and friendly, and the food is never a disappointment.

When I was working we often had "board" meetings in this pub. Sadly returning after 10 years, the standard of food has dropped considerably. There was no atmosphere as the pub was empty,something I have never experienced before on a Saturday lunchtime in over FIFTY YEARS of eating out.Whilst the food was not inedible Paying £76 for 4 beers and 4 courses and a rather doubtful sorbet was expensive given the standard.Having eaten out 2 days previously at a pub only 6 miles away and having paid 80% less albeit for only 2 people for a meal that was 100% better, I feel that this pub has lost its way and needs new motivation.

Lovely staff.... reasonably priced

Only been once so maybe dropping a star is unfair. The Plough is an honest local with nice beer and a simple menu. Staff were pleasant and helpful. But in a group of 6, we ordered food at around 7.30, had starters after a bit of a wait and didn't get mains until 9pm. It seemed like they just didn't have enough staff. Food was decent though fairly standard pub grub.

Really lovely people, friendly staff and friendly customers, had a nice time, cosy place, probably one of the best pubs in the area xxxx

great atmosphere and an old english pub

Absolutely fantastic Friday night meal at The Plough. Had the tastiest Fish & Chips - Very light batter and homemade tartare sauce is the best I've tasted. Great service & good atmosphere in the pub - 5 stars from me!

Very friendly staff, amazing service, tasty food and perfect drinks. Couldn't decide what to drink and to eat, great food, very good beer selection.We will be back soon

Visited for a 12pm lunch 31.12.19. Both food and service were poor. Unclear whether it's table service or bar ordered.I ended up going to the bar. Three people ordered a beef lasagne, a steak & ale pie & a hunters chicken.The pub wasn't busy. The food arrived & the lasagne was still frozen in the middle, despite the server describing it as 'chilled'. It wasn't, it was still very solid & was sent back.We were told it'd be brought back out when it had been cooked properly.I asked the waitress if she'd felt how 'chilled' it was as she seemed so disbelieving; she said 'yes',so I asked if they were now sending a new one after she'd stuck her finger in it & the initial response was 'no'! A replacement was ordered. The steak & ale pie was also sent back as it was barely warm & full of gristle, not meat. It was inedible,& a sandwich was ordered instead.The hunters chicken was as tough as old boots, yet not returned as the diner was too reluctant.She later wished she had returned it,& said as much when the replacement food turned up an age after it had been ordered & well after she'd finished hers, resulting in us all eating at different times. The replacement lasagne was still a disappointment & of such poor quality the diner gave up.The pub should be ashamed of serving such dishes,& it really spoilt the last afternoon of the year,& old friends catching up.We were offered desserts which we definitely didn't want if that was the standard of food, & drinks that we neither wanted or needed; most were driving & had a relatively full glass of something soft in front of us anyway. Although the food was removed from the bill we were still chased to pay for 2 soft drinks & a small wine. I wouldn't have minded had the server seemed genuine in her apology, but the general demeanour didn't come across as if she cared. She gave the impression she was neither shocked nor sorry. I wouldn't consider eating here again,& I'd urge others to think twice too if this is normal. This used to be my Grandad's favourite pub & local, so it's a huge shame. It was a really rubbish way to end the year.

Always a pleasurable experience. X

I have been here in July and the food was great but the staff looked miserable. But we put this to one side and re-visited in December for lunch with colleagues. Bar staff were rude, grunted at me to hurry up because I had to keep asking girls what they wanted in the way for food and drink. The pub was not busy so it wasn't that we were holding up a queue! I can not fault the food, it was lovely. Then a colleague turned up with a 7 week old baby (baby in arms) and a female staff member ran over and 'shouted' you can't come in here, no children under any circumstances are allowed in here under the age of 10. We pointed out the baby was asleep and it was a baby in arms, no push chairs, no crying, no mess, no running around, it hardly would be attempting to cause problems. The RUDE staff said, I don't care you can go in the garden, no children mean not children. She was so abrupt and rude, shouting in a loud voice of others to hear. It is such a shame as this pub is a community pub, a pub in an area where a school, church, local nursery is, yet they are not welcoming to where they are. HOWEVER, we watched a dog walker come in with a very muddy dog, who was allowed in the pub, the dog shook and we we saw water matter splash off him, and then the owner allowed the dog to sit on the seats, the staff did not mention to him that HUMANS will need to sit on there. This pub serves food and allows this to happen. Shocking. Ethics of this pub is all wrong. Out of principle I will never come back to this pub, nor will I recommmend it to our clients that in the past we have always recommended the pub. Shame on you plough staff, maybe learn some effective communication, smile and work with the community. I have to give you one star but to be honest I would not award this if I could.

The vegan option today could have been much better. A falafel burger when you can now get such quality like Beyond Meat is disappointing. Lovely pub but I wouldn't rush back

We had a fabulous lunch with excellent food and very attentive staff. The beef medallions were to die for and starters were excellent.The lemon dessert was also good.
