The Plough and Harrow in Wealden

I have almost no memory of eating out when I haven't walked away saying "That was OK, but I have had better". But today I loved every bite! I will highly recommend this place in the future!! Staff was so kind; not overbearingly pushy or sweet... just a really positive experience! Thank you for a wonderful meal out!

Delicious pie. Cosy friendly pub.

Had a very nice afternoon, nice and pleasant, was a Monday afternoon though so couldn't comment what it would be like in a busy period (evening/weekends).

This is a friendly, hard working, more than decent pub in idyllic surroundings which is why I have given it 5 stars for everything. The food is better than most - the desserts are particularly fabulous - service is spot on and the place has more than its fair share of Syssex warmth.

Lovely pub with friendly service and a great selection of local beers and ales from Long Man Brewery. They have a game cabinet that’s great for kids, and loads of outdoor seating. Couldn’t ask for more!

The Plough and Harrow is an absolutely lovely pub. We visited as a party of seven with three dogs and were seated at a table inside. Our drinks order was taken really quickly and when we had an issue with one of the drinks they immediately remedied it. We ordered four Franco chicken burgers, one fish and chips and two beef burgers. The food came really quickly and was absolutely delicious. The chicken burgers were a whole chicken breast that had been lightly battered, with a delicious homemade slaw and the chips were divine. The beef burger was similarly really nice and had loads of fresh salad in it. Just wished the chip portion was a bit bigger. When the child's beef burger came the kids meal had more chips than the adults meal did, as they put them in little metal pots for the adults meals. The inside of the pub is lovely it has loads of fairy lights and old fashioned swirly light bulbs. The staff members were really helpful. There were lots of menus around so we didn't have to share and the whole pub itself looked really clean. The toilets were also clean. That was a good range of seating inside as well as outside in the beer garden and further down past the car park there's also an additional garden with seating. The Plough and Harrow is obviously very popular as it was very busy and we went. I can see why, we had a lovely meal and we'll definitely be going back.

The food was very disappointing. Two from our party had the chicken pie which was soggy and tasteless. I had the vegan bowl which was very uninspiring...basically a bowl of chickpeas and butternut pieces with the odd piece of kale and broccoli and a side bowl of boiled potatoes ! Very overpriced and won't be returning.

Visited today while having a walk, we sat in the garden as it was a lovely day. We both had a pint of the local long man ale, which hit the spot. As for the food my partner had a vegetarian cottage pie, which she said was lovely, i had the chicken burger, and it was the best chicken burger I have ever had.

Great place to stop for a beer and something to eat for all dog walkers

Wonderful food and extremely kind staff! So many happy dogs and one very happy me!

I have come to the Plow and harrow a number of times, I have enjoyed it each time, food is always lovely, the food was a little slow to come out, but that didn’t matter as you could taste it was freshly cooked, I loved the V cut chips, Staff friendly Can’t wait to come back in the summer and enjoy the garden.

I visited for a lunch and was told that I could only have a snack in the garden and then told I could have a starter but I would have to carry it to the garden myself. I asked where I could sit inside and was directed to a small table but then told I couldn’t sit there so had to sit at the bar. I found the staff very rude and disrespectful and the food was average at best. I will not be visiting again.

Too expensive. Nothing special.

This pub looks lovely. You definitely need to book here as we asked for a table, and it has always been booked up . The food looks great. we can't wait to try it one day. Lovely to see a village pub so busy and popular. Will definitely be going back and will definitely book a table next time . Lovely big car park too!

Average menu nice atmosphere great service

What a gem of a pub... Really nice food and atmosphere. Very clean and inviting. Loads of outside tables with views of the Sussex downs and county side. Carpark was reasonable size but would think it could be busy in Summer. Prices are comparable to other pubs and possibly lower than across the river in Alfriston. Had a fantastic meal and will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Looking forward to walking or cycling down from Seaford and using the beer garden in summer

A lovely country pub and restaurant, good choices on the menu and a warm atmosphere.

Really cozy and welcoming pub with excellent food. I'm only a Pink Gin woman do I couldn't tell you anything about the drinks Love this place

Excellent food, good service. Absolutely satisfied!

Great food. Book to ensure you get a table.

Came for a meal with my husband. Tge staff are amaazing and I had the Venison pie. Wow... It was the best pie I have ever had. Well worth a visit.

Great pub post our walk in Friston Forrest! Food was delish 10/10. Long man lager was also very very tasty!

Starter was very enjoyable. The liver parfait was delicious. I had a pie for my main. Highly recommended 👌

Visited for Sunday lunch, fantastic lunch, great service in a beautiful location. Would recommend,we look forward to going back.

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch here yesterday afternoon with the family. Attentive staff, delicious food and plenty of parking on site. We can't wait to go again.

We would like to thank all the staff and chefs for a wonderful evening meal for my wife's 60th birthday. The food was absolutely delicious and served by three lovely attentive girls. Nothing was too much trouble and a great time was had by all.

Popped in here for Guinness (perfect one) on Boxing Day. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and good service despite being very busy. Dog friendly and spotless toilets. Large beer garden too. Fantastic pub.

Great Staff and lovely atmosphere

A wonderful pub great food and ales and friendly staff and locals...loved it

Cosy, friendly pub. Food was okay, beers; a fabulous selection of independent brews. Log fire and quintessential old English pub atmosphere.

My wife and I visited for Sunday Lunch and we were very impressed. There was live music (they had a saxophonist and a guitarist) which helped create a great atmosphere. Even though it was very busy the staff were very friendly and attentive, the food was excellent and the portions were very generous.

The best dog friendly pub for miles. Foods always amazing. Staff are friendly, and location is perfect for walking your furry friends.

A very well looked after pub next to the Cuckmere river in a stunning location. Very friendly staff and the food is very nice. The menu has been laid out well and clearly marked for people with food allergies . I definitely will be returning here.

Lovely pub with such nice, welcoming staff. Tasty food and the best selection of long man beers. One bit of constructive criticism is that due to the sandwiches being quite expensive (£9) it would elevate them a bit to have nicer bread, crusty white or even a more upmarket ready sliced loaf would be better than the basic white sliced bread used. Small thing that would've made the experience 5/5. Thanks!

Food served quickly and hot It was ok but nothing special Chairs uncomfortable Staff very helpful

Just perfect for our family. We had a little area of the pub to ourselves, the children and adults alike had a delicious meal.

Lovely place, excellent staff, but the Sunday roast just wasn't very good. Veg very undercooked for my taste. Cabbage mixed with onion not for me. Peas might well have been local but were bland. Yorkies obviously cooked earlier in the day and therefore were like cardboard. I would love to go there again, but after they've found a competent chef

Excellent food and friendly service. Recommended.

Very friendly staff, and the food is delicious, lovely atmosphere here

Lovely warm welcome and fabulous food in a fantastic homely pub. Will definitely be back again soon. Cheddar and brie ploughmans, beef bourguignon, fish/chips, apple/blackberry crumble and biscoff cheesecake. All delicious 10/10 thank you 😊

I love coming here! We were happy to get a little table for a couple of beers after our walk! Sunday lunch service was in full swing, yet all the staff behind the bar were always ready to take our orders! And they all smiled

We popped in here for an afternoon cup of tea whilst out on a walk in the area . Lovely friendly service and a lovely pot of tea each, which was very good value . In fact, it was so good that we went back there the following day for another one . A very beautiful old pub .

Fast and friendly service lovely beer garden Great selection of Longman beers amd the Sussex burger was delicious 😋

What a jolly time we had. The food was excellent & the two young girls who served us were helpful & attentive. I recommend the Blue Cheese Mash topped Shepherds Pie

The Plough and Harrow in Litlington is a great choice for a Sunday lunch. The food served is of good quality, with a variety of options to suit different tastes. However, what really stood out was the exceptional service provided by the staff. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome and attentive service throughout our meal. The staff were friendly, efficient, and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was enjoyable. Despite the busy atmosphere, they managed to provide prompt service without compromising on quality. Overall, a great place for a good meal with excellent service.

Decent pub experience with a lovely beer garden and good food. Lots of local beer from Long Man Brewing too

Good selection of beers, including local Long Man brewery. Visited on a Sunday. Nice beer garden - plenty of seats. Went indoors for an early Dinner. Sunday roasts are the main items on the menu - otherwise a bit limited. Note the kitchen closes at 6pm on Sundays. Meal was good - but the “seasonal greens” was one stick of broccoli and some peas! But also came with a stick or two of carrot and parsnip. Good Yorky though.

Food excellent Unfortunately for me there were too many dogs in the pub as a few were barking. Didn't spoil our meal but we wanted to leave ad soon as we'd eaten

Excellent service. Staff really friendly . Excellent food will definitely be going back

Very disappointing as regards to dietary requirements, extremely noisy other guests, couldn't hear ourselves think. Gorgeous Chicken Pie though and attentive staff.

Lovely afternoon with friends and great food.

Again, whilst holidaying in Seaford I met up with another friend, his daughter and her boyfriend for an evening meal. It was my choice, so there I was on Trip Advisor checking out local’ish pubs to eat in when this one popped up….. and I’m so glad it did. A lovely quaint pub in the middle of nowhere, and I can only imagine how lovely it would be to sit in the garden on a nice summers day… let’s be honest we’ve not had the best of summers this year and on this particular day it had rained all day! Anyway, I had booked and glad that I had done so as it was fairly busy with diners for a week night, but that’s always a good sign. I had the shepherds pie topped with blue cheese and so did my friend and we both thought it was delicious, so would recommend this dish. I really hope to get back there sometime on a sunny day.

A little tucked away gem! Too busy for us to get a table, as we had not booked ahead. Everything was full, so we sat at the bar for a relatively light lunch. Service was good, as was the beer and food. My only comment would be that the Ploughman's lunch could do with an apple's acidity to compliment the cheese selection. We will return AND book ahead :)

I actually cannot fault this place, we often say to each other "where shall we go eat" and it ALWAYS ends up being here, the food is amazing, the staff are genuinely really nice (which is super rare these days) and the whole atmosphere is really calm.

My personal opinion is the roast had been prepared & cooked a long time before we ordered it, then heated up to a ridiculous heat.

We had a poor fish & chips here, the fish smelt and tasted like it had gone off. These things happen on warm days - it was more disappointing to be told that we were wrong and the chef thought the fish was fresh! Unnecessarily defensive attitude from the lady behind the bar, and I'd question a professional chef who is not able to tell when food is clearly not edible, which has made me feel it necessary to leave an honest review.

Sunday roast wasn't anything special,service was good but food let it down, it was very quick coming out from ordering and must have been cooked and reheated.

Such a beautiful setting for stunning food.

We went to the Plough & Harrow this evening for our ‘Date night’ many had recommended it, my husband really enjoyed his meal (Calamari starter & Pie for Mains) I am plant based due to allergies & fully appreciate that many places catering for such have a limited offer. That said, my starter was most definitely not fresh (other than the pitta) & my main which was cauliflower, Chickpea & Spinach curry was swimming in oil, no creamy curry ness to it. Our meals & 2 alcoholics drinks came to £68 - quite pricey & I can’t say I’ll be rushing back!

Top notch veggie roast! Every element was spot on. Busy pub yet staff were kind, calm and efficient. Loved it, thanks all x

Lovely space, fantastic service and good food!

Great food, service was really good, dog friendly

This is a lovely pub and the service is amazing, so much so they tracked us down after we left our umbrella! Such a nice atmosphere 😊

A wonderful find. Food and service were both excellent. We would highly recommend both the menu and wines. The location was an additional bonus. Cannot wait to go back.

JUST ONE OF OUR FAV PUBS AND OUR REG, THE EIGHT BELLS SHOULD TAKE NOTE , EXCELLENT FOOD , FRIENDLY STAFF AND GREAT VALUE

Awesome spot. Beautiful building, great food, friendly staff, speedy service and an all round top notch experience. The pizzas were a highlight! Highly recommend - thank you!

Stopped off at this pub on 16/8/23 whilst on a local walk for a spot of lunch. It was a beautiful day and we sat in the pleasant garden. The staff were friendly and efficient. But we were horrified at being charged £11.20 for a glass of mediocre French Chardonnay. Surely that can’t be right, and I should’ve queried it. There didn’t appear to be a price list for wines by the glass displayed which I am sure, can’t be legal. Anyway, a lesson was learned and it won’t happen again!

I took an elderly friend to lunch on an August Friday. The pub was well maintained, staff were friendly and we were served promptly. We both had fish and chips which, given we were only a few miles from the sea and it was a Friday, should have been a safe bet. Unfortunately the fish was distinctly old. This really is not acceptable. A pity, because the chips were very good, and the peas also.

Absolutely fantastic in every respect

Brilliant location, outside bar in Nice beer garden near friston forest. Quite large car park.

Really good food with fresh products, very good service, lovely location... The quintessential english country pub !

Amazing food, friendly staff, decor was a bit jaded and they were playing country music, only things which could be jazzed up a bit to give a bit more ambience I think. It has a beer garden too.

Food was excellent Vegetarian curry was amazing Burger was delicious Pub was very busy. Only criticism is too many dogs in there...as some were barking which spoilt it a little

This is what happens when you have a captive market. Superficially an attractive English pub but in reality just a money milking venture. Everything is overpriced. The food is mostly mediocre pub grub served at extortionate prices by surly and disinterested staff. Fine place for a beer on a sunny afternoon but that's about it. If this was my local I'd move.

Lovely pub, great service, food was fine and served well.

Food is outstanding here. Sunday roast is highly recommended

Lovely pub with a good beer garden. We sat inside having pre booked, 4 roast dinner and a kids meal. Nothing wrong with the food or service just pretty average. I had pork belly which was two very slim pieces with chewy crackling which was a bit disappointing but can’t be helped. Wouldn’t rush back but wouldn’t avoid either.

Wonderful 17th century pub nestling at the foot of the South Downs. It was one of my late parents' favourites and is just as good today. It has a traditional and very comfortable interior, friendly and obliging staff, excellent food, a good range of drinks and a very good beer garden. The only thing lacking is an immacultely polished yard glass above the fireplace, but that really is splitting hairs! Five stars all the way.

Was OK. 3 food things to improve on and 1 accident in the car park….. Car parked next to us scrapped our car when they were leaving, shame, and it’s cost a lot to repair…. As for the evening inside, service was slow, almost forgotten about us. Chef would not cook a scrambled egg instead of a fried egg. Chips well, they were more like the horrible crisp type left at the bottom of a packet. Shame really. We had lunch here a few weeks earlier and that was outstanding.

The three of us met in this old pub for lunch on Sunday at around 12.15 to 12.30 pm. The place was very busy and our table was quite close to the bar. My wife and I chose two ploughmans one cheddar and 1 pork pie. These were very good and for drinks I had 2 americano coffees and my wife a bottle of sparkling mineral water. Our friend had a starter and a salad. When we asked for the bill we received an incorrect bill (£82+) which had bottles of wine and had nothing to do with us. Unfortunately I did not check properly the second bill well enough and later noted 3 bottles of mineral water and a splash of lime so was roughly £5 overcharged. I don't like that so will not be recommending this pub.

The service was good - friendly young staff. The chicken Caesar salad was lovely with plenty of meat. The Sussex ham, egg & chips were very good, as was the bacon and brie sandwich. Apparently, the Long Man bitter passed muster too! As we arrived, the car park was almost full which was a good sign but inside and the beer garden weren't crowded. A very good atmosphere and would very much recommend.

This pub is good service with reasonable choice of food. Unfortunately too dog friendly with dogs in (and on!) the bar. Staff regularly petting these animals when serving food and drinks with no evidence of hand-washing between.

We found this pub whilst out on a walk. We had a couple of pints and decided to go back the next evening to eat. The meals were lovely (best chips ever) and all very good value... All washed down with a couple of pints...

Went for lunch and drinks. Very nice, great service.

What a great idea having a small bar outside in the garden to order drinks and food. Very nice young lady was super attentive. Food was great and well priced. Will certainly visit again when next in the area. Well done Plough & Harrow for...

Came here for our sons birthday lunch and would definitely go back. The food is excellent, homemade soup was to die for, and the staff are polite and friendly. The location is gorgeous, and even though it was busy it still felt relaxed. Totally worth...

Magnifique! Cadre superbe du XVIIe, accueil sympatique et excellente cuisine. Rien à redire.. une carte en français peut-être?

Excellent!! Deserves your business. Great Sunday lunch, vibrant and lively pint, attentive members of staff. A well oiled machine and an enjoyable couple of hours.

Lovely outdoor seating area; friendly staff; excellent food…a lovely way to end a morning kayaking at nearby Cuckmere Haven

A wonderful little pub with a fantastic little well kept garden area with lots of seating.

we had a coffee in the Garden. Very dogfriendly

Food 12-6, but they won’t take your order after 17:45 so actually food is 12-17:45!!!! So frustrating. Don’t make the same mistake as us.

Lovely country pub. Lots of outdoor seating. Good food. Staff very friendly and pleasant. Only criticism was loud music playing in the garden

Eaten here many times always consistently great, food good, beers good, service good, music nights(last Friday of month) good. In fact all better than good! And lovely garden for the warmer months, never hesitate to recommend

Lunch for 2 on my birthday. Bread and balsamic oil starter. Bread delicious but dip very sharp. Main meal fish and chips, vegan falafel burger. Fish nice, chip good but not hot. Burger dry, not really sure why you would put cold red cabbage with...

Lovely beer garden, nice tidy and clean. Great food

This is a seriously good pub. Polite and accommodating this pub also served some excellent food. With a plethora of drink options on top & a wonderful beer garden it pretty much ticks every box you can think of. Unsurprised with high ratings & reviews, it deserves them. Can’t wait to come back.

Great Sussex pub with lovely food and friendly service 👍

Nice place, brilliant garden in a great location.
