The Plough Inn in Hastings

The Plough Inn is a fantastic and friendly little pub at the top of the West Hill...great for both locals and visitors - definitely worth the walk / ride up the hill in the Funicular. Great outdoor garden out the back, which includes a Petanque court, as well as a covered heated area.

Lovely little local pub which is dog friendly with a great beer garden and plenty of seating and bbq. A petanque pitch is equipped with boules - great fun to play! Also giant jenga and a giant connect 4 are under the covered area. Well worth popping in if visiting the West Hill for a walk and the views.

wonderful quaint pub with a great garden area, had a splendid pint of guinness, very friendly staff, highly recommended

I'd go here again but the night I went it was unfortunately too busy and crammed,(a funeral /wake, a birthday and open mic all on same night!) it's only a little pub, points for serving my favourite beer tho! X

It's not far from the seafront if you don't mind taking the stairs up to the top of the cliff. It's worth it. Just off the lovely green space you come to the pub. The food was way above pub average and my burger and chips were under £10 in 2023! The back garden is a tiny bit scruffy but they have a petanque terrain with boules. The pub itself is light and welcoming. I'm writing all this because I think it deserves to be busier than it was when I went for lunch on a sunny Saturday.

Great little pub with a fantastic atmosphere. Sensible beer prices too.

I've been there on a quiz night,so a bit serious the atmosphere but the manager tried her best to accommodate 8 lads with a few to many on board 🙈🤣 and don't disturb the serious quiz player, seating outside also reasonable priced drinks 👍

Nice pib, just as a pub should be.

Nice pub with friendly staff and a big beer garden

Impossibly cute pub, good beer, even gooder food.

Lovely local pub with nice size garden. Lovely staff.

Held a retirement gathering here a week ago amazing place. Staff were so polite and helpful ,BBQ was great ,garden and pub dog friendly. Myself and my baby enjoyed this very English traditional family pub and will be returning lots more .

Lovely local pub, not far from my allotment, very welcoming bar staff and a great beer garden to enjoy 👍

Spent a most enjoyable Saturday afternoon with friends and colleagues in the Plough. Fantastic beer garden and excellent staff

Not dog friendly despite what they say, terrible music, cucked staff to the landlord, scammed my credit card inside. Police investigation ongoing avoid!!!

Great pub good choice of real ales and friendly staff

went there for my boss's retirement party with the people i work with.

Nice beergarden food looked nice but never had any, only pub on the west hill left so should get a regular trade to keep beers fresh

Great pub friendly staff great atmosphere good size garden great in the summer for adults and children as well as dogs love this pub

We really enjoyed our drink in the plough Inn we met some really friendly people

My new local. Great pub! Really amazing locals!

Excellent cosy English pub, as they should be

Nice and friendly, the staff are so nice too

Loving this little local pub really friendly bar staff very laid back .

Not enough toilet paper. Had to smear the remnants on one of the ploughs. Still ok though

Well what a wonderful pub this is Staff are very pleasant and friendly The beer is great, with a selection that will suit most palates , we had a ploughman’s lunch plate and everything on it was fresh and tasted as is should. We will have another visit Very very soon .

Very nice, knowledgeable staff, excellent real ales and comfortable seating.

Wow what a selection of alcohol free drinks. I normally get palmed off with Heineken 0, but I was split for choice here. Really well maintained pub very clean with a great beer garden.

Great atmosphere, friendly great lunch thanks!!! Recommend a visit but not too much cause we won’t be able to get a seat lol x x x

Lovely pub, Becky was super friendly, and the lunch was delicious. Great garden with big dog bowls 😀

Delicious sandwiches Nice place 🍻🍖

Great service lovely atmosphere cheery staff

Nice family garden, and good selection of drinks.

Fantastic community local, with the best beer garden to catch the sunshine in Hastings. UPDATE Spring 2022. Still the best pub on the West Hill! Overjoyed it's reopened and even better than before. Say hi! to Gerry the landlord from me and you might even be able to get a Sussex half out of him ;) He's doing a great job Weds quiz nights are fun and the legendary Gina from Cushty doing jam nights every Monday night. Very dog friendly too if you've taken your pooch for a walk on the Hill. And they're doing food too, Ploughman's lunches:)

Great locals pub. Brilliant landlord and landlady. If you are in Hastings go

A proper pub. Dog and family friendly.

A brilliant local pub for me. Great booze great staff and great atmosphere... What else do you need?

Great friendly pub. A lot of locals but very friendly fantastic beer garden.

Friendly gaff, lovely bar staff.

Fantastically quirky pub with a very comfortable back garden area and most likely the world's friendliest hand dryer machine 😲🤘 Who could deny the magical attraction of a "Meat Raffle"? 😂

Big garden friendly staff great beer dog friendly

Great pub, perfect beer garden for the family

Very quaint and well run village type pub with large child friendly garden

Braw ale and staff. Great friendly pub.

Excellent pub. Brilliant staff. Great atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend! 😊

Nice enough little no frills pub with a lovely big garden, we were staying in Gordon Rd so popped in a couple of times. Pleasant and welcoming staff and the beer and cider selection was fine! On our first visit we were going to eat but the only serve pizzas so we headed elsewhere for a wider menu but I'm sure the pizza would've been tasty... One downside though was that on our 2nd visit there were a few smokers under the smokers shelter which you have to walk through to get to the garden, as we both find smoking disgusting walking through a fog of smoke wasnt very pleasant at all! Still, I havent marked down for that...if there had been a breeze there probably wouldnt be a problem!

Cool vibes, great views, good beers.

I had my daughters 2nd birthday party here back in June. It was a brilliant day for the children and the adults. We where aloud to have a bouncy castle in the garden free of charge. (The pub didn't charge us for the space) They also put on a lovely spread which was a very good value for money and everyone enjoyed it. The staff where very nice and welcoming highly recommend it.

Great local pub with large sun-trap of a beer garden

Lovely sun trap and great staff and beers X

Brilliant welcoming place to drink

Friendly staff and garden space

Brilliant just an all round good quick service pub I love it

Shame about one of the bar staff she acts like she own the pub and annoys new customers who will probably never return. Too clicky for my liking.

Good old traditional local pub, no frills, friendly bar staff, open fire and a decent gin, served in a proper gin glass! Dog friendly.

Awesome as always 😁 probably the best pub in Hastings 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A good old fashioned local pub. A tidy and friendly place to have a pint. There was plenty of company for my dog too, 👍.

One of the best back gardens I've sat in. A great atmosphere for all.

Only 4* because you can't get perfection, service and surroundings lovely, a really good old pub, would totally recommend

Good food good time to meet up for a drink with from Hastings

Proper pub with good beer Friendly staff.

Passed by for a pint.my first time there. The staff made me fill welcome. My experience was pleasant worm and cosy

Love this pub just along the road from me ideal

I found a wonderful establishment lots of history, interesting building and furniture, fantastic barmaid who was most brilliant to both a young child with "pos learning difficulties " and a middle aged gent with a helper, a tribute to the pub 🤠 v. well kept boozer, clean exceedingly well kept old Rosie, thanks for a great afternoon 😁

Got to be up there in my top 5 pubs in Hastings 😀

We reached this pub by taking the restored Western lift and walking 5 minutes but walking up-hill is an equally good option. There were two ales on offer, Timothy Taylor Landlord and Wye Valley HPA. Both of these were in lovely condition. Whilst this was clearly a locals' pub we were made welcome by the friendly bar staff. Generous outside seating with shaded areas. The toilets were well looked after. There is a cheese raffle every Saturday at 5pm and a meat raffle on Sundays. There is also a regular live music scene. All in all this is one of many reasons to visit Hastings and explore its pubs

We visited the pub to celebrate a birthday party. There is a nice size rear garden, where you can make your own BBQ, you bring the meat, they give the gas BBQ! I have only 4stars not 5, because there wasn't any apple juce, only fizzy one, what my children didn't like. Otherwise excellent place!

Great beer garden. Good selection of beers

Lovely friendly local family pub!

Huge beer garden and lots of outdoor furniture, plus a nice pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord

How pubs used to be, mostly, but slightly upgraded. Nice garden out back to keep the kids happy. Haven't had a pint here for a while but the Harvey's always used to be well looked after.

Not many pubs have a garden with a sunset and comfortable chairs also serving great beer and friendly staff - this one does!

Good pub, no food but can order pizza delivered, kids play area in the garden.

Friendly local pub, excellent beer garden. Family friendly

Great staff wonderfull locals amazing large dog friendly beer garden . been using this pub on and off for 27 years never had any problems allways a friendly welcome .

Great pub, lovely garden, great pint and staff.

Beautiful pub friendly staff! This has been done up to a lovely standard and feels very homely with open fire and beautiful garden! They also have a barbeque and you just supply food to use it! Regular live music,cheese and meat raffles weekly If you dont fancy alcahol you can also get a number of different hot drinks i personally have had the tea,coffee and the hot chocolate all of the above were pleasent! What more could you ask for?! Pay a visit x (For the records i am a customer i do not work here or get paid to review)

Great local pub with lovely big beer garden

Barely tolerable. Often shocking music being played by bar staff with no thought to atmosphere. The Harveys is ok. Really should do food. (Pot noodles for sale behind the bar don't count)

Nice beers if you like a timmy Taylor and great beer garden in the summer

Fantastic pub very friendly and pet freindly

Great friendly pub with a good atmosphere as well, lovely garden, family and dog friendly.

Chilled, dog friendly and child friendly with a proper pub atmosphere. Definitely my favourite Hastings pub (sorry Hastings Arms, you do the best food!)

Lovely beer garden, alright range of beers, no food.

Excellent friendly community pub on West Hill with beautiful beer garden. No hot food but well kept ales and coffee. Occasional live music, raffles, quizzes, bingo. Good atmosphere and smart rustic decor since being taken over in 2015. Lovely landlord, Jamie, runs an attractive and efficient pub that has become a vital hub of the community.

Lovely cozy pub. Nice beer garden for when it's sunny

Fantastic garden with facility's for children & very close to Hastings castle the oldest castle in England

THE PLOUGH, Darts, Bar billiards, Smoking (tobacco) A pint of beerr1/8d, comfortable walk to either the Angel or the Whiteriars. Days gone, but many happy memories. Especially the view of the old town from the Westhill.
