The Plough & Attic Rooms in Horsham

Myself and two former colleagues agreed to meet up for an evening meal on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. One was travelling 25 miles from Bromley; the other from Crawley and myself from Reigate. We checked on the website which confirmed the kitchen was open on Tuesday evenings. Unfortunately, on arrival at 7.15pm, we found this not to be the case. The kitchen was closed and there was no chef available. The courteous staff explained it had been quiet on Mondays and Tuesday lately so a decision had been made not to serve food in the evenings. I said the website said it would be open. There were more apologies. Sadly we left this cosy pub and enjoyed a great meal at the Star down the road.

Menu was not as advertised on website. Basic meals offered. Ordered neal of chicken and leek pie with mash and vegetables. Chicken and ham pie was delivered. Mash was dry and vegetables delivered was a few spears of broccoli which did not constitute vegetables. Left half the meal, terrible. No apology.

We were a party of 9 and as soon as we arrived, we were greeted in a friendly manner. We ordered starters, mains and drinks- all of which arrived promptly. Every single one of us enjoyed our food; in particular the steak and Guinness pie which was the best pie I've ever had. Kudos to the chef. We definitely recommend and will ge returning at the next given opportunity. Thank you!

Kat and her staff accommodated our two family gathering (18 of us) for Sunday lunch with a prearranged menu in the lovely medieval attic rooms with our sole use for the afternoon. We cannot praise highly enough the service and food we enjoyed and the total ambience of this lovely old pub enhanced by the excellent attention of Kat and the chef who are now the owners.

Lovely country pub with a great atmosphere. First time visiting here and we thoroughly enjoyed our £10 steak night meal and the pudding was delicious. The staff were lovely and welcoming. We will definitely be returning soon.

Booked as it was Sunday and we thought it would be busy. When we arrived we were worried when we were told we could sit anywhere. We were the only people in the restaurant. Not a good sign! Service was appalling. Wait time for drinks and food was ages. Fortunately we hadn’t seen our friends for ages so we had plenty to talk about. We ordered two lamb roasts and two beef. My goodness they were bad. Covered in a brown water which I guess was gravy. Meat as tough as old boots and veg as hard as concrete. The only nice part was the horse radish sauce. Puddings were served in really hot bowls with Luke warm syrup sponge and custard. To get this took about four hours. I would have had another drink but after ordering it it never turned up. Thank goodness we had good company as normally this would have been totally inexcusable. Such a shame as the location and pub are beautiful. Unfortunately we should have checked the reviews before hand. Like so many you only check after a bad experience. Will be giving this establishment a miss in the future.

The staff were great BUT… Waited for 15 mins for an over gassed pint of Guinness to settle. Ordered food which was absolutely atrocious! Lasagne with pieces of gristle in the meat. Dried out mash, with even drier veg, along with what can only be described as unbelievably soggy pastry on a steak and Guinness pie, which was surely made at least a day or two before. My recommendation is to drive past and try somewhere else. The ‘quaint and lovely’ comments on here must be from people who never ate the food! We left the ‘food and guinness’, paid the £40 and left, very disappointed!

On a cold Tuesday there was a warm and pleasant atmosphere with friendly landlady. It's a lovely old pub with low ceilings and plenty of warnings to mind your head on low beams. There was a good beer selection and a good draft cider. There were four other tables occupied. We ordered a steak pie and a chicken pie with winter vegetables. We had wait a bit for the food but it was not excessive. The pies were pretty good, good pastry on top and with mostly tender meat with no gristle but a couple of chewy bits. Overall good. I would go again.

Meal for 7. Sat down at 3.20 and order quickly taken. Starters did not arrive until an hour later even though all but 2 were cold dishes. We waited until nearly 6 o'clock for our mains. Over 2 1/2 hours after ordering, even though the place was not busy (it was late afternoon). Four of the dishes immediately sent back. 3 were venison pie - in fact turned out to be small sections of a much larger pie that has obviously been reheated as they were all heavily overcooked and very dry - the gravy at the side of the pie slice was actually crispy! The other dish returned was slow cooked belly of pork that was as tough as old boots. It was served to a butcher who pointed out it was so thick it was clearly from a very old and large pig, hence the poor quality meat. Only main dishes that were edible were deep fried. 4 of us left the place hungry and upset at the experience This place used to be amazing. Seems to have changed hands and gone downhill. Chef needs the sack before he drags the place under. I'm very local (Capel) and they've lost my business until things change.

A lovely old English pub We booked a table a week ago for 5 for Sunday lunch. It was very busy, but we like a good pub atmosphere. Initially the table we were given was in a chilly area ( it is exceptionally cold today) we were moved without a fuss. A lovely lady apologised that there would be a delay with our food. We didn’t mind as we were warned, and we were comfy and having a nice time The food when it arrived was well worth waiting for, the staff were polite and accommodating. It isn’t a large venue and coped very well

They need to get their act together. Pre booked a Sunday roast but arrived to find they had no roasts available. There was an apology from a young staff member but nothing from the management who seemed not to comprehend how stupid they looked. Seemed very take it or leave it.

6 of us thought we would go for the advertised super Sunday roast. We prebooked, they had full contact details, we arrived on time. They told us that the table was available but they had run out of food! No thought to contact us and stop us from travelling some distance for a non event, and we were hungry. The Star in Rusper came to the rescue, accomodated us, initially with difficulty but as soon as a table came available we were seated and had an amazing Sunday lunch, thank you Kosta. Needless to say we will not bother with The Plough again

Went on a Thursday which was steak night, steak and chips for £10, there are other things on the menu as well. The steak was cooked on the grill perfectly. Starter was lovely too, staff very friendly and accommodating, will be visiting again soon

We went in July and was really good but just been again today and was awful. Had the veggie roast. Very underwhelming to say the least. Very disappointing. We wondered if it has changed hands and just looking on here it seems to have. Definitely would not recommend from our experience. Shame

We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious roast dinner today. The service was brilliant, a warm welcome and great to meet the new Manager Katrina, who spent time chatting to the patrons. There was a lovely fire too. The atmosphere was very cosy, and again our food was gorgeous.

Just a shambles start to finish. Our first contact at the Plough was very sporadic in whether he would reply to emails or not. He got all the booking details wrong and could rarely be contacted. A second manager then took over and again was liable to not reply to any emails - meaning that requests made in good time were completely ignored and people got the wrong meals on the day. On the day the service was very messy. Some of the food was good, but some of it - particularly vegetarian options - were just plain bad. Then the day after, which happened to be my wedding day, the pub started accusing guests (who had fortunately kept their receipts) of not paying. We sent receipts and bank statements but quite stressful really. Another sign of their just fundamental disorganisation. It is probably a good locals pub for a pint but they shouldn’t be doing big group bookings if they can’t actually handle it. I would strong advise avoiding if more than four people.

Under new ownership and food was good enough, not spectacular but decent enough. The charcuterie board was all bread and olives with very little meat which was a little disappointing, let’s just say had better. But overall friendly atmosphere, not back to its former glory, food was coming out but the waitress didn’t have a clue to which table it was ordered by so room for improvement.

I would rate it a 4.5 but you can’t so I will rate it a 5 as my mum didn’t complain about anything! Amazing pub, we sat in large garden and enjoyed the sun. The attics rooms are a must see even if you aren’t eating inside. The food was fresh and delicious, my husband and I just had the ciabatta lunch options while my mum opted for the gammon egg and chips which she said that it was delicious. Set in a lovely village in West Sussex with the church opposite, very picturesque. Will definitely be returning and recommending

Great beer, pleasant welcome and the best cheese chips in the world...well certainly West Sussex, would highly recommend 😋

Very yummy squid, delicious sea bass and very different to usual. Service good and even get a chocolate mint with the Bill! Super!

Perfect Saturday evening family meal out. Walked into a buzzy, warm and inviting atmosphere. Harrie, our waitress, was super friendly, attentive and ensured that everything was okay for us which made the experience even better. Can definitely recommend the homemade pies. I had the lamb kleftiko pie which was delicious and the whole family were satisfied and happy with their food too! Best pub of revived inns for sure.

Had high expectations of menu, but was disappointed, I had veg curry, tasted like from a jar, microwave rice and very small portion ( and I don’t have a big appetite) partner had chicken pie, was fry and looked like it had been dropped, pastry...

I cannot rate the plough and attic rooms enough. I invited 8 guest to join me for a birthday dinner. We all had different meals from the menu and all were delicious. Ben and Chloe were extremely attentive even though it was a little busy....

This pub is great. I have been here through different landlords since the 1970’s and the latest out do the last ones by miles. The food is excellent and the beer is fantastic with a good choice to choose from. All the staff are friendly...

Absolutely perfect for our family birthday celebration. We had 30 people with room for more. An excellent buffet with plenty of food for all. Rob and the team were brilliant from start to finish and all done at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Our band of seven cyclists, known as 'The Pandemic Pathfinders' enjoyed Christmas Lunch immensely on the coldest day for decades. We were welcomed into the warm embrace of wall to wall hospitality. The ambiance, historic setting, and ambitious menu, brilliantly served, were a delight. As...

What a fantastic evening we had. The food was amazing and the staff fabulous. The building is beautiful and all our staff appreciated the historical building. An amazing evening was had by all. Thank you

We visited yesterday to celebrate two of our parties 50th birthdays. There were 13 of us and three dogs. We had the upstairs part of the pub all to ourselves. It was decorated beautifully and the fire was lighting. We all had roast dinner with...

We visited The Plough for lunch with friends and were very please with our choice. The meals were excellent, two of us had the steak pie, another had chicken pie and my husband had the liver and bacon . We all thought the food was...

Loved this rustic gorgeous old pub with loads of character . A good menu , I chose a vegan pie with feta , roasted vegetables and pickled cabbage with horseradish mash , totally delicious . My friend had chicken ham and leek pie with mash...

We feel very let down as we had great expectations tonight but no! Food all dry and tasteless I’m afraid. No one came and ask if all ok so didn’t want to make a fuss as obviously busy as halllowen party downstairs.

We were staying nearby and needed food and wasn't sure whether to head to Crawley and head to a chain restaurant or find something slightly outside. This was the nearest place where I could book online but it turned out to be a great choice...

Met with friends for supper. Beautiful quaint pub and the good really was excellent. Great service and warm staff made this definately a location to recommend

Here at the plough and attic rooms, Rob and Laura kindly agreed to host our wedding day. From start to finish they were attentive and helpful. They catered for our every need and made sure that our day was as special as it could be....

Friendly and welcoming staff who went out of their way to make our visit enjoyable. The menu has a wide selection of dishes for all tastes and is good value. Our food was simply superb,piping hot and looked amazing. The portions are huge too so...

Just visited the Plough and Attic in Rusper, we had 3 different meals and each and every one of them was perfect, tasty and well presented. Well done we will return.

The menu was not as advertised due to the new one still being in print however the current menu offered a decent choice and the staff in particular Laura, was very accommodating. We had the chilli prawns and camberet to start followed by fish and chips and veggie burger. All were well presented, flavorsome and in huge portions - beautifully cooked - amazing chef Thank you. Look forward to experimenting with the new menu. Be patient as coming out of covid is taking time to adjust -for everyone- but we had a very special pre birthday dinner. Oh and the garlic bread was just yummy.

Spending a weekend away with hubby and kids. Just had dinner at the plough, lovely atmosphere and food amazing. Owners really helpful and flexible with food for the kids, would highly recommend.

We chose the steak night for couples which means you get a bottle of wine included. It was a good choice, but I wish the plates had been hotter. My mushrooms were stone cold, but overall it was a good good meal. The wine was very good. Front of house were excellent.

Revived Inns took over in June 2021 after a long period of closure. Food is great and beer in excellent condition.

We’ve just returned home from a lovely Roast Dinner at The Plough, with large portions, just the right amount of attentive service, without being too overbearing, and fair pricing. What was so pleasing about this visit is that this pub, having lived locally for 20 years now, has been through a mixed recent past, hopefully this latest Pub company, Revived Inns, is here to stay because going by this visit the village has its other pub back. Well Done.

We booked the Plough for my best friend’s hen do meal out and the staff (especially Laura) couldn’t have been more accommodating. Laura was happy to book us into a private room when the weather failed us and even offered to help decorate it before everyone else turned up. It was great to have such a gorgeous (and aptly named - ‘The Nunnery’!) room to use and so kind of them to let us cover it with confetti (sorry about that Laura). The food was nice and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Would definitely recommend the pub and it’s friendly owners and will be returning.

Visited today with a friend and had coffee, followed a little later by a lovely lunch. We've known this place for very many years and love the 'olde worlde' ambience. Just needed sunshine to enjoy their lovely garden. The new management, Rob and Laura, made us very welcome. We'll certainly be back!

The Plough and Attic rooms has had a real roller-coaster ride over the last few years. After a troubled period it became one of our favourite go-to pub/eateries when Time Well Spent took it over, especially with Amanda as manager.It was taken over again just before Covid struck (you have to feel so sorry for the poor lady who sunk her money in with such bad timing) but even when it opened it felt like a team that were struggling to find their feet.Spotting that it was open again, now run as part of a small chain by the aptly named Revived Inns, we booked in on Saturday to give it a whirl.The welcome was warm, friendly and professional, with the manager, Rob, and the chef both stopping at our table to chat.The menu was fairly short (actually a reassuring and good thing although it looks like it will develop in future) with a couple of specials to expand the offering.We went for garlic bread with cheese (main menu) with salmon bons bons (specials) as starters and katsu chicken burgers from the specials board as mains.Garlic bread was tasty, generous and absolutely laden with cheese, salmon bon bons (sort of round croquette balls) were delicious, and the mains absolutely on point. Portions all round were substantial so think twice before over-ordering!All in all a great start, with great food, great service and a friendly welcome to a fantastic old pub from an utterly professional team.

After the wonderful service and meal from the previous night, my friend and daughter booked for Sunday lunch the following day. on arrival and being seated we was told the roast beef had gone, also the Yorkshire puddings, but in its place was extra potatoes and veg. My friend decided to continue with the chicken, half a chicken thigh, some cauliflower cheese, some carrots and green beans( she'd been looking forward to the beef), I had a home made burger and chips. The waitresses and waiters was helpful and attentive. The meals came out in good time and all drinks ordered was fine. However, my friends meal came out with a ( single )new potato cut in half to make two. So my friend asked where the potato was. The waiter had been told they'd ran out, but was still taking orders for roast dinners. My meal was gorgeous, expect the side salad had no tomato, cucumber etc. just some rocket. After complaining 3 or 4 times about my friends meal I asked for a discount for her meal ( £5) was taken off themeal had cost £14.50 I asked for a chocolate and raspberry torte which had been amazing the night before and presented extremely well. However, it came out to me in a messy lump, it looked like the base had been left behind and there wasn't much left in the tin so was heaped onto a plate. I spoke to the waiter, he took it back to chef, but came back out to say that's how it's supposed to be. I had another look at it as I thought that maybe I was over reacting, it was very clear it had been scrapped out the cake tin. So I explained to the waitress that had come over that I wouldn't be consuming it or paying for it. Again, I can not fault the front of house staff.

Came for Sunday lunch & wasn’t disappointed great food. Great food great service. We hadn’t booked but they still managed to fit us in. Nice atmosphere.

I lived locally in this village and the plough has had a few owners, it used to be really great food and a lovely atmosphere and granted we are still in a pandemic but I visited on one of the eat out to help out days unintentionally, thank goodness I did because I wouldnt have paid full price for the food. We both had x2 Sirloin steaks that came with chips, onion rings, tomatos, salad and a cooked mushroom which presented well. The steak was 85% grissle in both of ours which was so dissapointing. The surver didnt even ask us why we had left so much so we couldnt get a chance to feedback. It was really quiet in the resturant where as the other pub across the way we couldnt even get a table. I just really think they need to work on there food, this isnt the first time that I have had a poor meal there before that I had a pie and it was so dry which is not what you want from a hearty pub pie. Also in the past we have been kept waiting at the bar for 15/20 minutes when its quiet to be told that they are not serving food anymore. I really hope they do something about the food because before it used to be such a busy pub with a great atmosphere and I think it complements Rusper so well.

Things were looking good when the starters arrived. The halloumi fries were crispy and the chilli dip lovely. However things went rapidly downhill with the main courses. The fish and chips were oven chips and a packet battered cod fillet that was soggy and greasy and plonked on top of the peas making them equally as greasy. The pie of the day was dry and lacked any pie gravy. The mash had far too much whole grain mustard, the vegetables were cold and overcooked and the gravy in the jug could have been sliced it was so thick. We skipped dessert to save the chef opening another packet.

Always been keen to try this pub and after being told they are under new ownership with a new chef we thought we would give it a try. It was Ok nothing exceptional, we both had gammon, one of us had eggs which were very overcooked, we did mention it at the time but didn’t want to make a fuss. Shame really because it’s a beautiful pub in a lovely village. Service was good, staff friendly.

The Plough was always a family favourite of ours years ago, but having changed hands lots of times it had become very disappointing. However, this new owner seems to have got it right. A new chef had just started, who was MORE than accommodating to our requests. Definitely the best fish and chips we've had in a long time, Sunday roast plentiful, pie of the day very tasty. If you want traditional pub grub with a typical country pub atmosphere, this is the place to visit. Parking available across the road, lovely beer garden for summer days and even private dining upstairs. Staff wore masks bringing food out and separate entrance/ exit. PLEASE visit and help build this place back up, you won't be disappointed.

Disappointing visit. Staying in Crawley so used the Government eat out initiative to find somewhere local, but not part of a big chain. The Plough and Attic rooms came up on the list, a look at the website matched the kind of place we were looking for so we booked a table for 7:30.Upon arrival we were seated with menus and left to make our choices. no problems with social distancing as we were the only people at our end of the restaurant. 20 minutes later we were finally asked if we were ready to order food and drinks. We ordered some drinks which arrived quick enough, Nachos to share and hot chicken wings were ordered, these took around 45 minutes to come. A weak apology for the delay was given, but no explanation. The starters were simple, but tasty enough, and were eaten a lot quicker than they took to come.The mains then took another 20 minutes to come. Mixed grilled, spaghetti carbonara and a cheese burger. The steak on the mixed grill was well done, not medium as requested, there wasn’t a trace of pink. Service was poor, we had to ask for a spoon as we were left with a knife and fork to eat spaghetti. The mixed grill was OK apart from the over cooked steak and the onion rings from a shop like Iceland. the Spaghetti Carbonara was strange as it was drowning in a cheese sauce, so not a traditional carbonara. The garlic bread on the menu was also not served. The burger was OK.At the end we asked for the bill and paid, there was no “how was it” or “was everything ok” as though they already knew it wasn’t.So overall not a pleasant experience from somewhere that has the promise of a good evening out.

Typisk brittisk pub med allt det innebär. Fantastisk bra service och hyfsat utbud av olika öl. Åt en fish and chips som var riktigt god.

The Plough used to be excellent and a regular go to place. However it’s no longer the case. Staff are lovely but the food is akin to cafe fair. The burger was good but the rest was average and a far cry from what the plough used to be.After several recent visits. I won’t be coming back for food.I would happily return for a beer and a place to drink. Shame though as the food used to be excellent.

So sad we live in rusper and thought as we hadn't been out for a while that we would treat ourselves to a more expensive meal. Well I would have been better off going to the local fish and chip take out cheaper and so much nicer. We have just paid £24 for oven baked Mc Cains and cheap version of birds eve battered fish sad. Started off with the menu presented on a board the traditional pub menu NOT mac cheese lasagne etc and thought the safest option is fish and chips!!! Well unless things improve it will.loose it's reputation as a great village pub !!! Gutted and wish we had gone to the star as normal

Main complaint was it was freezing cold. We had to keep our coats on whilst eating. Heating is not turned on until the pub opens apparently. Menu is in transition but not much choice for vegetarians or vegans at the moment. Staff were helpful and friendly. Will give it another go in the summer!

Had one the best sunday lunches ever. Loads of veg and meat at a very reasonable cost. Staff were really helpful and friendly and will definitely be going back. Highly recommend a visit.

I’m a sucker for a good old fashioned country pub. And this is one of these. We popped in for a drink as we were passing and immediately loved it when we walked in. Low beams, fire going, happy people eating and drinking. We overheard a conversation about a new menu and the bar lady was listing all the new foods, sounds delicious and we will definitely be returning for dinner. I believe it was a new landlady that we saw about, she was lovely and friendly as were the 2 younger girls serving. Very impressed!

Was with a party of seven who had a weekend lunch in January, at the beginning of 2020. All of us have dined here before a number of times and things are not as good as they were. I understand the pub might be under new management and has a new chef: if so, they need to get some fundamental basics right.First, I though it fairer to email feedback directly (a good few days ago now) but have had no response or even an acknowledgment. This is the not the right way to deal with customers trying to give constructive, discrete feedback. Secondly, the food that is served is not as described on the menu e.g. brioche bun for the burgers (actually served in a plain white bap); fries with skins (actually normal fries without skins); homemade burgers (but they looked and tasted like frozen burgers and not like we have enjoyed previously); and, a choice of nut roast (but this is now no longer even on the menu when you ask). These discrepancies are at best careless; at worst misrepresentation. Thirdly, there is now little choice for vegans or even vegetarians. Service at the table was good, however, and we didn't have to wait long...but we all noticed the pub was almost empty. For a Sunday lunchtime, we thought this unusual (it is normally very busy).An otherwise old, cosy pub, with a nice ambience. But they really need to get their menu corrected and standard of food made much better than it is currently.

This is a lovely old pub with plenty of atmosphere. The beams are very low and you have to watch your head when walking around. They did a lovely Guiness much to the delight of my husband.

WELL DONE TO NEW OWNER/LANDLADY LYNETTE, AND CHEF IAN.Well done fantastic new menu, great food, warm welcome from the new land lady Lynette. The change is definitely for the better. Onwards and upwards. Looking forward to going back after the festive season. Keep it up it's looking better already.

Been here for special events, casual lunches and Sunday dinners. Always good food, always friendly service - highly recommended .

A nice friendly pub with real ale and a good atmosphere. We ate here and enjoyed our burgers and chips. The restaurant was virtually full on a Monday night in October which indicates its reputation.

Great free house pub with long history dating back to the medieval period with an excellent local ale and traditional pub food at reasonable prices. Very friendly and welcoming, my favourite choice from the menu was the 10oz rump steak which came out perfect. Lovely comfortable high back chairs and large fire place which must be ideal on a cold winters evening. Out of the two pubs in the village this became our favourite one for the week we were there.

Lovel country public house with choice of real ales. Large garden area. Service is friendly and good. Beware of very low beams!

Booked about 3 weeks ahead for a meal for my dads 60th, requesting one of the cosy attic rooms for our party, free of cost. Very small quaint place, have to mind you head no problems with going to table, getting drinks upstairs, service perfect timing between courses. As I'm fussy, I had a side of garlic bread for starters which wasnt a problem. Had a lovely fillet steak, best steak I have ever had where I could eat it all, not chewy bits! The ladies who served us were very attentive and chatty, they kept the cake we brought to side and brought it up as requested. Really enjoyed my dinner here so would def come again, and my dad also loved his meal for his birthday. Easy parking across the road although very very dark at night but not an problem with torch on phone.

This is just how I like my pubs - warm, cosy, low ceilings and wooden beams. Two friendly ladies greeted us on Saturday night, making us feel very welcome. Thanks for the tips on the different gins! The food was excellent, too. Really good value for money and absolutely delicious. I hope to visit here again.

Just out for a drive and thought a stop for drinks where there was a garden would be relaxing. G&T; a rekorderlig cider and two bags of crisps came to £14.20. Maybe its a while since we went out just for a drink but it seemed very pricey.

Having had several previous good meals here over the years, I wanted to impress two US visitors with a traditional meal in a traditional country pub. What an embarrassing disappointment. The food was unbelievably poor and the service, if I am being generous, was inexperienced. I can't believe that I drove past so many better venues to go there. I won't again.

A lovely pub and the food and service was excellent. Good value for money and nice location. Would recommend for lunch or dinner.

We were a party of 8 for lunch on our arrival before going off to the hotel next door, we were greeted with a lovely welcoming smile from Gemma. Our lunches were excellent and very good value for money Gemma went out of her way to make a very special ploughman's A big well done to all

We went on quiz night for the quiz. Food took ages to arrive- nearly an hour.Two of the starters were ok but the salad starter was poor and served in an enamel cooking dish. Two of the four main dishes were dreadful.The fish of the fish and chips was cold and tasted of cardboard. Chips were hard and dry . The scampi and chips little better. The curry was quite good but very limited in quantity. The burger was apparently good.

Lovely lunch with friendly service. Would definitely come again. Sunday roast was delicious (maybe should have taken a photo before)

Decided to try their garden for an early supper last week as the weather was so nice, arrived just before 6pm to blag a sunny table in the garden. Half a dozen other customers floating around -mostly drinkers with only one other couple eating who got their food after maybe 20 mins. I had to ask where ours had got to after nearly 40 minutes and it then miraculously appeared. Quality was OK ( wife's chicken was a bit gristlier than it should have been) portion size OK, nothing to write home about on either side, drinks a bit dearer than our local but it was very disappointing to have such a long wait for two standard meals ( ie no special preparation time) when the kitchen was obviously not busy. I don't like having to chase around to see where our order has got to, it shouldn't be needed in a service orientated environment like this.

We met up with some friends here for lunch. We were staying at the Ghyll Manor Hotel and the helpful staff there recommended it.

Yummy homemade nut roast with all the trimmings. Very helpful pleasant staff and excellent speedy service.

We are staying at the Manor just down the road and last night we walked into to the village after our meal and decided we would walk to The Plough & Attic tonight for a meal. As Tuesday night the pub looked very busy which turned out to be a quiz night , we decided to call on Wednesday lunch time to book out table. The staff were very friendly and chatty and helpful in recommending our choice of drinks and meals from the menu. The inside of the pub is very quaint and typical of a country pub from 16th century. When the food arrived at our table I was taken back, I had ordered the homemade chicken, leek and bacon pie with fresh vegetables and mash potato. It was very filling and tasteful , my wife ordered jacket potato with tuna , slaw and salad. We had a break and then tackled the sweet menu ordering the chocolate brownie with ice cream and sauce. Our overall experience was excellent and if in the area again we would call back.

After months of planning and plotting, and a long walk from Ifield station (beware--it's not easy on the narrow roads), I at last arrived at the Plough. What struck me first was the extremely good music--a medley of first-class 1970s hits. The pub feels a cut above an ordinary boozer, with many creative touches such as artistic pots on ledges and a wooden duck by the window. The black beams and fireplace look the real deal, but there are also plenty of new-looking red leather chairs at the dining tables. I wish there hadn't been live candles on the tables, however.

A massive thank you goes to Amanda and her team. As part of my birthday celebrations we headed to The Plough and Attic Rooms with family for Sunday lunch, we had a fantastic time. The staff were all very welcoming and made me (the birthday girl) feel very special x

If you really want a traditional English pub experience the Plough delivers in every way. Great, friendly service and good food. We had a wonderful lunch on Easter Saturday. Thoroughly recommended.

This was a birthday celebration in one of the upstairs rooms. The pub itself is quirky and full of character. Event room upstairs was a perfect size for our party of c25. The staff were accommodating and very helpful, they couldn't have done more, bringing drinks upstairs etc.

The menu looks good, but it tastes even better and the service is always with smile. The ceilings are very low and it’s a beautiful old fashioned English pub. Better for couples and friends though, not all that kid friendly.

What a beautiful pub, with a lovely large garden perfect for sitting out on a sunny day. We took mum for lunch and had a lovely time. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We all enjoyed the food so much so we had pud as well. The Aussie burger and homemade chips was the best burger I have had. And the posset for dessert, well what can I say just outstanding. Thank you we shall be back.

A lovely traditional country pub with good, hearty pub food locally sourced. We’d definitely go back.

Had a wonderful lunch with my nan, the food and service were great. Would definately recommend. Welcoming and warm atmosphere.

Such a beautiful little pub. Lovely and cosy with a great fireplace which was very much needed after a wet and windy walk.

Lovely Lunch for me an my family. Ample choice on the Menu all cooked beautifully. Good honest quality Pub Food. Server was happy to help with all we needed. Perfect relaxing meal. We will be back

Lovely food, great service. A nice little country pub to visit for any situation. Definitely recommend and will be coming back again soon

Went in to get a drink and snack with my family, the place was virtually empty with only two tables dining. This was too much for them to handle so after the staff walked past me 4 times without acknowledging me I decided to take me custom to a pub in Charlwood. I was greeted with a smile and lovely service. The Plough seem to think I should be grateful to be in its Pub. Never again.

Great traditional pub with character and comfort! Good choice of items on the menu and served with a smile. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit for lunch and some great ales!

We booked upon recommendation, couldn’t fault anything, food great there were 20 of us and all meals were lovely. Service fabulous, great atmosphere.. Enrique and Amanda were fantastic, first time visiting and will definitely be back shortly. Thank you all

Great pub, very good selection of local beers. It’s nice to see a pub that supports local breweries. Perfect for those Sunday afternoon walks, thank you guys! See you again very soon

After a long day exploring the countryside, my boyfriend and I stop at The Plough Inn for a drink, we sat at the bar in this quaint pub and asked for two glass of wine the lovely barmaid convinced us to share the bottle instead. We were not planning on staying for food as we said to the barmaid but after Amanda, the manageress, caught me eyeing up the game and vegetable cassrole being taken to other guests by the fireplace, she promptly showed me the menu and I couldn't resist. It was a beautiful meal and just what was needed on these cold January evening. the food was 5* and the service and venue matched! We will be going back again and again.

Didn’t book a table, got seated straight away. Had a great lunch with my partner! Staff were lovely, good service! Will be returning soon!

Good quality Sunday roast. Price is a bit more expensive than other places but you are paying for a better meal. The place has a good atmosphere, a traditional old country pub/restaurant. Booking is advisable at busy periods as it can be difficult to get a table. They don’t appear to rush you so they can turn tables, which means you can have a leisurely meal. The menu hasn’t got a wide selection but what it does have is good quality food.

A birthday meal for my son this evening was disappointing. One person ordered a starter but this was served at the same time as his main course (whitebait and chicken) . They did take the chicken back and served one later which we were told was freshly cooked but whoever would want these 2 dishes together. The manager? did apologise. The meals were slow to arrive and edible but mediocre. Service was not good, plates passed in front of other people despite room behind the table and without an 'excuse me'. I can only assume it was untrained, new staff. It was my second visit here but I will not be returning.

Nice small local reasonable pub. Lovely old low ceilings. Warm when the fires are lit. Draughty otherwise. Menu not great for fish lovers. Otherwise popular. Wines hit & miss. Welcome to England!

Great food and service in a great old pub. A real shame the advertised Gluten Free and Vegen menu no longer exist. Saying we can sort out a Gluten Free meal is one thing, then having no GF bread and only one GF sweet is very disappointing.

I've been here on several occasions now and every time I've left feeling well fed and happy with the whole experience. Amanda runs her team very well and I'll continue going to the Plough to enjoy their food.

The Plough is a pub/Resturant which is old so old that one has to stoop due the low beams which can be challenging,... set in rural Rusper a time capsule village.We a party of 20 were led to the upstairs/attic which again showed off its antiquity with oak floorboards and thick heavy furniture.The meals which did take a while to materialise wholesome food although not a la carte were all well cooked.The service added to the occasion where patience and smiles were the currency of the day,with the prices being amazingly good value...REALLY!!!

We recently stayed on a Sunday night at the nearby Ghyll Manor. Having visited the Plough earlier that day for a beverage and a peak at the menu and serving times, we were looking forward to evening dinner their.
