The Plough in Woking

Great beer, superb garden, very well kept

Good old fashioned pub with a good selection of beers. Nice place to meet up with friends for a few drinks and a good chat.

Lovely staff and always good music. Parking situation has now been sorted.

Great quiz night , will probably come again.

Good as a local pub, but quite expensive, especially if not a full pint.

The food on offer was of high quality, I had fresh fish and prawn salad (2 combined starters) beautifully prepared) I think I had a fruit crumble and cream. The wine was exceptional, as well as the service. We weren't rushed, although we went a little over closing time. We will be back. Lovely staff.

Charming pub with good service and a well kept cellar with a good choice of real ales in prime condition

The plough is a the heart of Byfleet , serving decent wine an providing a hub for the village , good little beer garden and a good selection of drinks , while it's not the largest place they make it work and have love music now and then too . I've been to many many less appealing pubs .

Yet another local pub where all the locals are chatting and sharing the days passing what an enjoyable place windows are wide open with the cool air coming through parking is limited

Good service. Pleasant surroundings Garden.

An old fashion pub ,with good beers 🍻

Just popped in for a swift pint. Very lively on a wet Wednesday. No food. Good beer. Don't forget to hand in your car reg if you are lucky enough to find a space in the car park. We are not local. Passing through. I once lived in West Byfleet though.

Horrid place!! Came here to bide time whilst waiting for our dog to be cremated at the Pet Cemetery up the road, spent less than £10 on two drinks then ended up paying £140 for parking!! We were the only people in there, the bar man should have prompted us to sign in as we did not really notice that you had to, we were not aware of much that day. Then the parking company sent us photos with a fine, And in the photos you could see me and my partner sitting outside with our drinks. We had all the proof that was needed. Bank statement etc. Phoned the landlord twice as we then had a reminder, he said don't worry I'll sort this, if you get any more just throw them away. A couple of months later we get a letter from a lawyer saying this needs to be paid, I tried to disbute it , but all they could do was reduce it a bit because of the reason we were there. So will NEVER EVER use this place again. We'll just stick to hanging out at the golf course if this ever occurs again!!!

Pulled over for 7 minutes while my friend checked for lost property from the day before, got charged £160. I have no words, just disgusting.

Dirty place … washes glasses with ashtrays together… kitchen there was awful when I worked there … I wonder why no one will check the cleanliness there…

Snug little pub and staff and regulars seem very friendly

Lovely atmosphere Nice staff and landlord

Sort the parking out forever robbing innocent people i do not recommend this place or the owners attitude avoid at all costs goto a proper pub

Great and friendly staff and other customers definitely go again

Visited the Plough last month for a drink before heading out for dinner, and 3 weeks later I receive a parking charge for parking in the pub car park! Warning signs are not at eye level and in the dark are not visible! We were NOT told whilst we ordered drinks, that we should sign our car in if we had parked. Which I believe is poor treatment of your customers! Called and spoke to the miserable manager, who advised me to show proof of drinks purchase to the parking company when I appeal! Which made no difference at all! As today I am paying a £60 fine! I will not be giving my custom anymore to a greedy owner, who has no common decency for his/hers customers! I have warned many people especially, our wide range of friends & family who visit frequently and they won't be giving you custom either. Thank you very much for taking money from a already struggling family due to loosing jobs through the pandemic!

Good selection of drinks and friendly service! Great village pub

Great selection of drinks, really friendly atmosphere. Excellent bar staff.

Sat outside in the sunshine. Warm and welcoming atmosphere

Went for the first time last week to have a roast the food was rubbish meat was so tough could not finish it must have used very cheap meat after I told the barman all he told me he pass the message on a complete waste off money I won't be back

Fast service polite nice atmosphere

Great local pub and very friendly service. Good food too 😋

Good atmosphere even in restrictions, friendly and welcoming.

Great calm atmosphere and really friendly staff

An average pub at best but not so disproportionately cheap that it needs to be supplemented by extortionate parking costs. Not advised at the point of being seated or ordering and disadvantages the uninitiated. Made a single drink very expensive. Have left messages with the staff but not returned any calls even to apologise. Disappointing for an establishment professing to cater to a local demographic.

A great friend took me for few pints their services and hospitality is awesome prices are great and the atmosphere is brilliant will recommend anyone to support them

Great night at the plough made to feel really welcome by the staff beer was great and a really friendly atmosphere

Nice to relax in the garden with a few drinks with friends.

Nice local pub, great outdoors area and regular special guest nights, great staff, would definitely recommend

Our local. Nice to be back after lockdown. Apart from not being g able to stand at the bar to drink, very little has changed going back.

New manager and wife been at the pub just over a week,turned the ale and food around,cleaned the pub up to a reasonable standard,obviously went to far to quick as senior management moved them on to other hostelry even though they are not keen to go. Typical general contempt from upper management to customers of the Plough, they are very lucky there is not to much choice in the village otherwise customers might possibly vote with their feet

We have just had a brilliant Sunday lunch. Dave, the chef and manager, was appointed by the owner Paul two weeks ago. In the two weeks we have seen the footfall increase significantly and he started doing food on Sundays again. Tonight we were told his boss was moving them on. We don’t want them to go. It looks we will go back to a lousy drinking den with no food served. When are Wexford Inns going to realise they have gem of an investment on their hands and give us back a proper village pub offering good pub food. We want Dave (latest manager back).

Finally get a landlord who has turned this pub around in a week and the "management" move him on?? It's clearly got a revolving door for landlords, there have been too many, and poor, over the last few years. The "management", if u can call them that, are clearly hell bent in running this pub into the ground. I feel another closure coming on!

Just got a new manager in the pub, Dave and his wife, been here one week, great food on Sunday, lots of bookings for this Sunday and has really turned the pub around good beer also. The management have now decided to move him on? What a disgraceful way to run a pub and really let customers down!

Excellent pub, lots of atmospheric

Lovely homely style pub really cosy, great outside area

Nice pub great beer . Very friendly staff great place to on your own or with friends

I'm from Texas. Only in UK few days and after one visit to The Plough the owner knew to have my large sharaz ready and waiting.

Beautiful garden and lovely staff.

Think the pub doesn't receive a lot of people from other races.. received a lot of weird looks when a few of us brown coloured people went in.. maybe it only sees locals and was curious who these new people are.. the cook was a very nice person though..

I don’t think it’s fair to have children in the bar after 5

Very dead. No menus on table. Waitress not welcoming. No atmosphere. Very small and not very professional looking in comparison with other pubs I have previously been to.

Lovely evening with friends, they even welcomed our dog in with treats. The tribute act was good, looking forward to attending the next one when I have a night off.

Nice atmosphere and lovely garden to sit in. Very welcoming seeing as we were not locals.

Good beer, lovely garden to sit in

Nice atmosphere pub with a large beer garden, good place to go to either simply have a pint or two or enjoy and evening (or afternoon 😉) with friends and family

An old fashioned pub with rickety tables and dark wood paneling, a very limited range of drinks & the sub contracted kitchen supplies hit & miss food according to it's own whims, regardless of whether its advertised as open or not. Bar staff don't tell you food is unavailable until after they have charged you for your drinks. Landlord can be rude at times. Bar staff aren't very knowledgeable about even basic wine -they had never heard of white Rioja and they list white Zinfandel as a rose! On the plus side,, the sports TVs are discreet, it doesn't get crowded, is dog friendly & reasonable prices. If you use the car park you MUST register your vehicle with the bar or you will get fined with no comeback as its operated by a 3rd party company. The tribute nights are very good if you avoid the dodgy Bbq's (the cook was smoking while bbq-ing!) but can get crowded & the awkward layout can mean you end up in a different room to the singer.

Madonna tribute was amazing tonight, as was the atmosphere! Great food and friendly bar staff!

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Also the vegan options were great! Would highly recommend going here if you are in the area.

The dishes are very good. I recommend this pub.

Very polite manager first time visit very welcoming had three white wines would recommend it

Nice friendly atmosphere, lovely large beer garden. A choice of 6 real ales and various largers. They also have ensuite rooms to rent. If you drive there make sure you register your car registration at the bar.

Beware the Parking fines for customers who don't spot the new signs!

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and decent prices. Recommend

They opened their kitchen again and the food is lush! I highly recommend! Staff also nice!

Friendly atmosphere and service. Good place to relax with friends.

Really enjoyed bringing my Chris is Elvis Tribute Show to The Plough. Thanks to Tom and all his lovely customers for another great night.

Popped in here while. Seems fine, locals pub.

Brilliant.. Friendly staff and excellent beer.

Nice place to have a drink in the summer in the garden

Took my daughter there for dinner, clearly says food served from 6pm, only to be told they don’t serve food in this pub and I should try the pub down the road!

Had a great 6 piece band here, average kind of pub.

Typical local pub. Good beers and simple pub grub menu, nothing flashy. Nice beer garden for the smokers...

A friendly Pub with a lovely garden area.

Really friendly and not bad prices for a Surrey pub.

Very friendly pub nice garden worth a visit

Good service. Nice pub to sit and chat.

Excellent food. Friendly staff and great Ales

Turned up for lunch - not serving food at the moment. Barman stuffing his face with a sandwich and didn't seem interested in serving us. Thought I'd walked into Royston Vesay.

Nice cosy friendly pub. No need to dress up.

This is an absolutely beautiful traditional pub in the heart of Byfleet Village. Warm and cosy pub area, very easy to relax here with a recently refurbishes eating area and nice garden area. Suitable for absolutely everyone, so come and meet the lovely landlord Tom

I have been here on a few occasions now since January and the staff seem friendly and accommodating . The garden has been extensively upgraded and is pleasant, quiet and comfortable. The beer is kept well, with a rotation of guest beers. However I have not been tempted to try the food yet as the landlord, by his general appearance does not suggest a high standard of hygiene in the kitchen. He is friendly and personable , he engages well but his appearance is poor and unkempt . If landlords want to welcome people in to drink and hopefully eat, a high level of personal appearance can help enormously. If they are front of house they need to dress and present themselves accordingly. I shall still continue to use the pub but shan't be eating there unless things change .

Friendly place with the best beer locally.

I just popped in for a drink with a friend, but I'd like to return and fully appreciate what they have to offer.

Well done to Tom - well worth a visit if you happen to be nearby!

Great pub with a good selection of real beers. I'm enjoying a lovely pint of Shere Drop.

Good food . Good service .good beer and a lovely atmosphere.

New landlord, been in pub 2 weeks now. Much more civilised than the old incumbent. Just started doing Sunday lunch again. The food was excellent and great value for money. Keep it up Tom.

Great local pub. Good selection of beers, friendly professional staff. Traditional, warm atmosphere. Always feel welcome.

Friendly staff, okay back garden for outdoors drinks, but not massive variety of ales and lagers. I was still pretty happy with the service and the place.

Avoid at all costs, the landlord is the most disagreeable pub manager I have ever met, turns on customers, has no people skills and is just very unpleasant. It's a pity because the pub regulars and the pub itself are not too bad.

We live in byfleet and love this pub. They have a decent permanent beer selection and always have a couple of guest beers to try too. The food is good pub grub. The prices are great for the portion sizes and we rarely miss a Sunday roast here. We held our son's after Christening party here in the conservatory section and Dave (the landlord) and his team did us proud.

Went into this pub a few weeks ago the landloard was very very rude to me chuck my change and me said I was a rude cow did not drink my drunk just walked out very rude man food looked very horrible to plus the Loo's did not look nice who would go in that pub WENT TO A BETTER PUB IN THE VILLAGE DO NOT GO HERE

I went in there with a friend to have a meal. We ordered starters and main courses. The landlord then approached us to say that what my friend had ordered for a starter was unavailable so she chose something else. The starters arrived and we ate and the plates were cleared away. We waited and waited for the mains and eventually the landlord came out and told us we couldn't have main courses as he had just sacked the chef!! We were so shocked we thought he was joking. We were hungry so decided to go elsewhere and as we left we could hear him shouting at someone in the kitchen. It was like being at Fawlty Towers. Decided to give it another chance a few weeks ago and to be honest he is a rude obnoxious man. It also is very interesting that this pub is on trip advisor twice. One listing is in Byfleet and the other is Woking which is misleading.

What a lovely pub, we live in Addlestone and took our friends who are visiting us from Wakefield, if only this pub was in walking distance from where we live we would be " oh so happy" really good service from a very lovely happy landlady , we all had a very pleasant lunch, a lovely place to while away a couple of hours with good food and company, We Will Be Back

Went here with friends based on local recommendation. We had booked, which was lucky because it was packed. Live music all night, which was excellent. We had share starter and variety of main courses, all of which were superb. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. We finished with deserts and coffee. Good value for money and a wonderful atmosphere.

Visited The Plough today and had a great meal. Originally phoned to see if we could take our dog. They said we could as long as the owner was well behaved! We had whitebait, scampi, vegetable lasagne and the mixed grill. All dishes were excellent. The puds were also very good. Staff were welcoming and attentive. Service was quick. Couldn't fault it - and that doesn't often happen!

He estado yendo a la noche concurso el primer martes de cada mes durante un tiempo ahora. El concurso comparar rotativa entre los clientes habituales del pub y es una muy buena noche.

Hmmm I liked this pub, for the odd gin or two, but it seems there is a Landlord problem here. No management skills, if you don't like what someone is doing, take them to one side quietly, don't have a huge row in the pub for all to see. It would also seem that this is not an isolated event (reading reviews, here and on other sites)...... sad that this lovely little pub is being let down.

Said he did not want common people in there shouted abuse to the customers I never go in there again

Wrost pub in surrey the most rude arrogant pub landlord I have ever been served by makes very rude and nasty comments about customers especially female one's was in there when he called two lady's s##ts as they walked out the door and if your a camra member he thinks that you a sad lot and need to get a life this used to be a great little pub until he took over the place you could go for nice drink no mobile phones going off now it's like the pub from hell

All the girls behind the bar are very friendly, polite and a good laugh.The drinks are little over priced but all in all, this is the best pub in Byfleet.

Just had the most delicious spring vegetable crumble. Staff lovely nice welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend

I will be open from the open. I live in Byfleet Village and I have been proud to have a traditional pub here. I occasionally drink in the pub, grab a pint and then head out to the garden in the summer or off to a table in the winter.I went in last night with a couple of friends and was planning to spend only about enough time for two rounds. There were two women sitting on the table near to us who were chatting and waiting for their taxi to arrive. These were two normal looking women who looked like they had come from work. Their taxi arrived early and so the landlord spoke to the driver to ask him to come back in 20mins. I went to the bar to buy the second round and at this time the ladies left saying thanks to the landlord. As they disappeared out the door he commented to me "S!uts!". I was so shocked by what I thought was ironic humor that I laughed and commented that I was only thinking about the fact that on this rare occasion I had a £50 note in my wallet. He said bitterly "It will cost you more than that for one of them." - he was being serious! I ignored this strange outburst and returned to the table.I started talking to my girlfriend about comparing one of the beers we were drinking to the same brand we had just made at home. The landlord pricked up his ears and we got into a bit of banter. One of the other locals joined in and we had a laugh at the expense of CAMRA members. It was all very jovial and then the landlord flipped shouting at me for being rude and taking things too far. The other local looked at me and expressed surprise at this sudden turn. The landlord continued this tirade of verbal abuse for about a minute while he stormed up and down the bar moving glasses. Our side of the pub went dead quiet. We quickly finished up our drinks and headed off. As we were leaving the pub he sneered "Enjoy your bitter!" referring to the beer that we had made.As we got home, in a bit of a shock, I realised that I had seen this kind of interaction happen before at that pub. The last time I was in there with a different friend the landlord was hurling abuse at some customers who were leaving as we were coming in. At the time I assumed that the customers were out of order but perhaps this wasn't the case. So these three isolated incidents have convinced me that the landlord at present in February 2014 is dire enough that I do not wish to ever return to this place to spend my money. It's a shame as I had a large group of friends scheduled to come over to here for the next three Sundays and I would have liked to have taken them here - I will find another pub to go to now.My advice is to wait until the landlord gets replaced by anyone else. I like beer but I prefer for it not to be served with a shot of customer abuse.
