The Plough in Reigate and Banstead

Great Sunday Lunch at a real Pub

This a fantastic pub, friendly great atmosphere for a drink a coffee or a meal the meals are absolutely fantastic I N quality and choice first time we have been will definitely be returning.

excellent food and service was really friendly 👌 will definitely be coming again

A big hands up to Harry and his lovely female colleague for helping mum on her 81st birthday meal out just the two of us. The food was delicious too Such kindness and she loved talking to them.

Went to the Plough for the first time in a few years tonight. Food used to be pretty basic but they've got a new head chef with a new menu recently and the food was amazing! Best mushroom risotto I've ever had and I've had a few. Service was great as well with a mixologist behind the bar!

The food was absolutely amazing! The ribeye with the beef tomato was so good! Well done to the chef! Will be back again very soon

Cracking pub in St John's Redhill. This pub has a great British boozer feel to it, cosy, nice people, good traditional food. Great local community feel to it, where everyone is always welcomed. Keep an eye out for live music. Always loved the look and warmth of this pub. Decent pint of Guinness as well.

Proper pub with great beer selection.

Lovely little pub, great garden for dinner if weather good. Staff friendly if not a little understaffed but we're all smiles, he did a great job on his own. Worth another visit for sure

Charged £19 for a large glass of wine and a pint.

Have been going to this pub for years and haven’t been since it changed owners. Sad to say a pub on my door step i wont be going back to. Terrible service, waited ages to be served as the kids behind the bar had no clue what day it was. Such a shame as I use to adore this pub :(

Sunday family lunch with the little ones, beautiful sunny day in the garden... Loved the attention from the team, thank you

Having worked there for 2 months, the food was rubbish, service was slow

Real shame. Web menu bears no resemblance to what is available at the pub, pub menu bears little resemblance to what is available on the day. Tables full of uncollected glasses, outside area shabby and dirty. Staff tried hard and were polite but were ultimately lacking in basic serving skills. Drinks were ok, food was mediocre and over priced. New landlord has been there a year, has taken the pub backwards.

I was very happy to discover a vary large beer garden to the rear of the pub which I did not know about. The food was also very good. I would go back for the beer garden.

A disaster from the start, only 3 items on menu scampi, burger or sandwiches. Bar staff whilst personable didn't do anything to fill you with confidence. Meals delivered with no cutlery, no mayo, or tartar sauce. Then, 30 minutes to pay and no explanation of the charge was calculated

This used a be a really nice place for lunch, but not any more. Despite booking a table for 8 in the garden area there was no table laid up, and we had to move 2 tables together ourselves. Lack of food available, as per previous review. When the food did come it came one plate at a time, with no cutlery. One of the group went into get cutlery, so that those who were lucky enough to have their food could eat it while it was hot. At no time were we offered any more drinks or coffee and the dirty plates weren't cleared away. So sad to see this pub in decline.

What an awful experience. Eight members of my book group had booked for lunch. On arrival we were told that there was limited food. This was on a Wednesday...their 'reason' ...they'd had a very busy weekend and sold out of food and that their food order had not been delivered! On the previous Friday I attended with a friend....to be told the same reason....this time...there was no oil, so therefore no fried food, including chips..ah hem .. there's a shop down the road which sells cooking oil and cucumber which was also not available. Back to my book group visit....only food available was burger and chips or scampi and chips or sandwiches... also no mayonnaise, tartare sauce or lemon! One very dirty glass added to the experience. The staff members however were super polite and quick to serve....felt sorry for them. Confusion at payment time too..but after much chat back and forth including an input for one of the managers on the phone.,we were given a discount on our bill....too little too late. What has appened to this one time thriving, ecletic, enjoyable, pub with a great menu...won't be back.

Should have smelled a rat when the bear was empty at two o clock of a Sunday lunchtime, food was very disappointing, frozen potatoes frozen yorkshires half the menu unavailable, not an experience I’ll be repeating

Still the best pub around Earlswood. Homely feel at hasn't changed since I've been going 25 plus years. Food is good, beer is good, but is it's a relaxed atmosphere away from Redhill and Reigate that brings me back.

We had a very lovely dinner here this evening in the beautiful garden - the most perfect place to relax and eat with a loved one or friends/family - I get the impression that everyone is welcome here and the whole venue has an inclusive and laid back energy. Every aspect of the service was excellent, and we had the pleasure of meeting the manager, Tamara, who took time to ask for feedback and showed a genuine interest in customer satisfaction. A particular highlight food-wise were the mussels: the bisque was completely delicious. The pork belly and beef noodles also deserve an honourable mention. We will most certainly be back. Thank you for having us.

Really nice pub. Has an intimate feel to it. The beer is really good, good selection of ales. Been there a few times for drinks, haven't eaten yet but I heard the food is good. Also been there for a live music event which was really good fun. The only downside to that is that there is only one toilet (one per gender) so on a busy day, there is a long queue. Also, the wait to be served was 15-20 minutes during the live music event. Although they had 4 bar staff plus 2 collecting and cleaning glasses, there is not enough space behind the bar for that many people. Maybe they need to find an alternative for those busy times. But the bar staff is always nice in there.

We’ve always loved popping to The Plough for lunch in their lovely garden. The service was friendly and welcoming as usual and we were well looked after. Unfortunately, the food quality doesn’t match with the price. The chips are really good and seemed handcut and freshly cooked. However, the batter on the fish and chips was so thick there was barely any fish, and the beef burger was very undercooked in the middle and had no flavour, not of beef or seasonings. We were really disappointed and it cost over £40 for these plus two lemonades!

A lovely pub and dog friendly too! The staff are attentive and the food is great! We had a lovely Roast a few weeks back and would highly recommend!

My family and I hosted my mums life celebration at the Plough in April. We used the reading room for food, the right hand side of the pub and bar and the outside pagoda. We were so lucky with the weather as the sun shone brightly afternoon and we had a wonderful send off for my mother. The Plough is a special building and garden anyhow, but Tamara and her team went the extra mile to really make sure the day was as special as possible with great food, hospitality and thoughtful extra touches. We would heartily recommend the Plough for events as well as a great pub to pop in for a pint and food. Well done all and thank you!

Great local pub to drink and dine in. Watch out for the new chef Ian from South Africa - I’ve got a feeling we’ll have some great new dishes to try

What a Sunday lunch! New favourite pub with great staff; Rob and Jody on the bar and Ian the (new) chef clearly knows his stuff. Will be back regularly!

Amazing fish finger sandwich with salad and home made crisps - great service and very reasonable! Also nice to be in a proper traditional pub!

Can't give rating on food as I'm not sure if they serve it. However, I can say the pub has a great atmosphere and gets lively at night. It can however get very cramped indoors. They have a spacious outdoor area with lots of seating and heat lamps for when it gets cold.

We visited this pub on a Saturday lunchtime. I ordered the scampi and my husband had the burger. The pub wasn’t busy but we waited nearly half an hour for our food and when it finally came it was disappointing. The burger was very average and came with skinny fries. My scampi was seriously overcooked - it was so dark brown as to be almost black! ! I was surprised that the staff thought it appropriate to serve it looking like that as it was so clearly overcooked. I didn’t say anything because we had already waited so long and I didn’t want to wait any more. The scampi was almost non existent inside the very crispy crumb and was luke warm. The chips (not skinny fries!) were however hot. I suspect the scampi was over cooked and cold because the kitchen had to hold the scampi whilst they cooked more chips. Perhaps that also explains the difference between the fries with the burger and chips with the scampi (both said chips on menu). I have to say I have never been to a pub that managed to cremate scampi!!! We may give the Plough another go in a couple of months as I hope this was a one off.

Awful jerk chicken - dry and no taste , no Caribbean rice and peas and no plantain! They did take it off menu but replaced it with an overcooked frozen fillet of sea bass. With 4 potatoes and 4 spinach leaves !

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 😊

Lovely pub with great food and a great atmosphere. Took the family and had a roast. Couldn't fault any of it. Will definitely be back.

Good looking traditional pub on outskirts of Redhill parking is readily available on road . Inside plenty of pictures and ornaments giving it a quaint and warm feel , after getting our drinks from the friendly barmaid we found a table after looking through menu both decided on Battered fish and chips , it did take quite a while for it to arrive for which the same barmaid apologised for the wait , we learned later from one of the regulars she was on her own that day . Looking at my fish it obviously had been over cooked as the batter was dark brown and cracked when I cut into it and was inedible , my girlfriends looked totally different so would seem were cooked at different times, I decided to leave the batter and just eat the fish unfortunately the fish was dry and tasteless, I was going to mention it but apart from the young barmaid there was no one else to talk too as my girlfriends meal was fine we let it go , I am sure this was a one off and would not put us off returning

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

This is a very welcoming traditional pub with extremely delicious food that you won’t find anywhere else in the area with its distinct Caribbean menu including a jerk chicken burger and goat curry which were both top notch and a rarity! The bar staff are friendly and there is clearly a local community of regulars as well as those just visiting for food and the family as well as dogs policy, which is refreshing. The garden facilities, although wet weather was in force at the time, looked fantastic and did have a number of sizeable sheltered areas. All in all myself and my family thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and meal at this little gem of a pub next to a very picturesque church in Earlswood, Surrey. Thanks and we’ll see you again soon

Great to find a nice local pub that is a good all rounder for the whole family to enjoy… great food & drink options as well as a lovely wine list! Highly recommend the new rose. The pub itself is old, cute & cosy and I love the little snug areas. Overall a great cosy little local pub with nice people & staff

Now this pub has been brought out of dark ages and into the light (with the help of an end to a long standing no children policy) it is a real treat I never used to give this pub a second thought but now it’s a place my family and I would like to frequent more often. The new owners have really nailed it….great staff, great company, great entertainment and amazing food (try the jerk chicken or goat curry 👌)

Great local pub, friendly welcoming staff. Fab little spot for a family lunch. Been visiting since Sept and will continue to do so.

Always have a good time in this wonderful pub, such a great vibe. Staff are always very friendly and helpful and management seem full of great ideas to create that real community feel. The food is incredible and so I would definitely recommend.

What a terrific find, myself and the other chaps of Horley Morris Dancers had a wonderful time. We were looked after wonderfully and no mention about the continuous jingling of our bells! We will definitely be back…..with bells on!

Lovely afternoon cuppa, just what we needed after a cold dog walk! The dog enjoyed his treats as well. Welcoming staff and a lovely fire. Great way to end a walk. We will be back

I’ve been here a few times now, for a drinks and for food. The food has always been out of this world and my family and I have really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is amazing and the service is outstanding. Well done to the new owners, your doing and outstanding job. Keep up the amazing work

Friendly and welcoming team, will go back.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 friendly pub with a beautiful garden.

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.
