The Plough Inn in Horsham

A very sparce vegetarian menu but chose the celeriac steak at £18. I could hardly cut through a thick wedge of celeriac which was so so tough

Called in previous evening to check it out and really liked the atmosphere. So returned the following day for lunch and it didn’t disappoint. Staff are really friendly, professional and the pub provides good pub grub at reasonable prices

Following our mid-week visit to the Plough, see review (terryat808) Sunday lunch certainly didn’t disappoint. Portions were generous, nice hot plates and served in good time by lovely Meg and Ruby who were so polite and helpful. So, all in all we can’t fault the Plough, we are officially now regulars.

We hadn't been to the Plough for around twenty years so time to visit again. Mid week lunch was well presented and reasonable. My sea bass was so tasty and the chef had it spot on, thanks chef. Small down side, fish mongers apprentice must have done the filleting, there were 10 / 12 bones that you wouldn't want to swallow. Jennie was good fun and professional. We must have been impressed as we are heading back today for Sunday lunch.... watch this space.

Our normal Sunday roast spot a couple of miles away was fully booked so I booked into the Plough. The pub had a great ambience and the landlady was lovely. Really friendly and funny. The roast was superb (and I am really fussy). Just the right amount, delicious meat, great roast potatoes and yorkshires and an absolutely fabulous selection of at at least 6 if not more vegetables. Despite it being a busy lunchtime we only waited 10 minutes for our food. Really impressed. Thank you everyone at The Plough

We enjoyed an early supper before attending a show. The food was delicious especially the fish special. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. We were welcomed by one young lady who seated us then explained she was going off shift but her colleague would be over to look after us. That duly happened and we felt very well looked after.

The plough Inn is a lovely old pub in the middle of Henfield Village. On the day we visited, with my Aunt, it was quite quiet, but the staff were all friendly and attentive. There was a wide selection for lunch, although we were slightly disappointed that the specials board, prominently displayed, was not available for lunch. Nevertheless the selections we did make - my aunt had sea bass with new potatoes and I had spaghetti marinares- were absolutely delicious! My aunt commented that she had never had tastier potatoes. We shall certainly return, maybe in the evening so we can have something from the specials board!

We called in for a few drinks and a light lunch on a very warm Sunday. Good choice of real ales and a wide selection of white wines suited us very well. For lunch we tried the king prawns and a hummus & olives dish - both were outstandingly good. Friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere completed a very enjoyable lunch.

My husband and I both ordered the steak that came with chips, mushrooms and tomatoes. When it came out it had salad and ratatouille!!! I'm not a salad person and hate ratatouille. When I asked about it, was told chef has run out of mushrooms and tomatoes, I was going to eat the steak but it was very tough, so changed my meal. We ate our meals separately and no discount for a ruined afternoon.

Our friends recommended this pub for Sunday lunch and we were not dissapointed. Our roasts were freshly made and cooked to perfection! Even the place was full but the service and food was excellent. Definitely we are coming back!

WORST ROAST IVE EVER HAD. 2 small “roast” potato’s not substantial. More like deep fried baby potato’s. There was nothing about the potato’s that screamed roast potato. Me and my boyfriend ordered a side of extra veg for our roasts. In the side of veg that comes with the roast and extra side of veg was just enough for two of us. In each veg bowl was one piece of broccoli so if we hadn’t of ordered the extra veg only one of us would of been able to have broccoli. There was a teaspoon of swede in each bowl of veg. All in all expensive for small roasts. Chocolate fudge cake was clearly bought in. Wouldn’t recommend this place atall…

Had a lovely meal out on a Tuesday evening. All four of us agreed it was probably the best meal out we have ever had. The food had such lovely flavour and the portions were of a decent size. Our waitress was lovely and very professional but could still have a joke with us. Very pleasant evening and would go here again.

We visited today, we had a lovely roast. Paid £30 for 2 roast dinners and we're served less than a table spoon of cauliflower cheese each. We asked for some more as the portion was very stingy and then was charged £5 for an extra portion. When we queried the bill the staff member said that's how the new chef does it and slaps a tiny bit on and that was that. We also tried to go for lunch yesterday here as it was advertised open 12-4 to be told the chef was just on his way out just before 3. Unfortunately, I will not be returning or recommending. The staff were friendly, shame about the chef...

Sunday roast. Service fast and efficient. Friendly and good Harveys best. Only complaint was pork was belly pork and no crackling. Where did it all go? Roast chicken excellent but no stuffing. All round a good visit and will return.

Friendly service , lovely food. Only downside is that every table in the courtyard garden has an ashtray and although there were only four parties in the garden two were smoking which was unpleasant for us being non smokers. Ashtrays at the top end only would help. Dog friendly. Reasonably priced. Ciabattas come with chips rather than a few lettuce leaves.

My friend and I stopped in for an evening drink when she was visiting in Henfield and we had a warm welcome. The chap behind the bar recommended us some gins and even gave us a complimentary double (well received, don't get out much now due to toddler!). We stayed for a few more! Though it was quiet for a Friday evening, the ambience was nice and cosy, with the lovely lights and traditional decor. I would like to try the roast one day, but I never seem to book in time! As a local, will pop in again.

Came here for a sunday roast yesterday.the veg was lovely and the wife’s roast beef was very nice, but i ordered the roast pork which came as 2 very thin slices of belly pork full of bones, maybe they had run out of the roast pork and this was a substitute, but it would of been nice to have been told it was going to be belly of pork when ordering.

This was our first visit here,lovely service,The restaurant was very busy and was the beer garden.we ordered steak and chips with peppercorn sauce.This was the best steak cooked to perfection,very tasty.Highly recommend.

Called into the Plough on a Tuesday evening. Hugely impressed by the high standard of food and very friendly service. There was a little wait between courses but we couldn’t fault the exceptional quality and delicacy of taste. We had sea bass and scallops followed by creme brûlée and sticky toffee pudding - restaurant standard of food in a cosy pub atmosphere. We will return.

Exceptional food. An unexpected find. Good variety of dishes on the main menu, and several ‘specials’ to choose from. Loved the French influence! The fish was cooked to perfection.

Really great pub food. Hungarian goulash cooked by Hungarian chef - need I say more. Home made gnocchi wild garlic pesto, original and delicious desserts. All the food was flavoursome , well presented and charming staff. Couldn’t fault. Thank you

Always exceptional in all ways. We just keep coming back. Our go to pub for family and friends. Their toast dinners are amazing honestly can’t recommend them enough.

Lovely pub. Good food and service. Highly recommended. Quaint beer garden at the back. Open fireplace and good size pub

We are out early evening in Henfield, and had first tried the White Hart but were slightly off put with the attitude on arrival so left and went into the Plough. Great warm welcome. This place is not trying to offer a gastro type experience...

An excellent pub with very friendly and attentive staff. Every village should have a pub like this!! The food is great and the log fires are a joy this time of year!!

Rude and Unfriendly. Visited for a last minute lunch, before sitting down I asked if there was a children menu, was told yes, we get unpacked and then told no childrens menu and can’t even make a ham sandwich for my 2 young children. I...

A delight of a pub. Staff are wonderful, friendly, welcoming and attentive. Food is fabulous-the roast is especially good. Moved into the Henfield recently and delighted to have such a great local.

We came here on a Sunday evening looking for food after everywhere else was closed. Despite being 15 minutes before the kitchen closed the staff at The Plough were happy to accommodate us and served us the most amazing roast dinner! It was so tasty...

Splendid pub with excellent grub. One of few places that doesn't just do roasts on a Sunday, what a joy. Staff are awesome, food is excellent and prices reasonable. If you want a nice pub lunch in a Sussex town at a chilled level then...

Had a lovely lunch here on Saturday. Three of us had the sandwiches with fries and all three were very pleased. Particularly the BLT. My niece had the vegan pie which she said was delicious. My mum had a pot of tea which gave her...

We popped in because we had never really tried the food here before, and I was absolutely amazed. We ordered the chicken strips off the bar snacks, and they were MASSIVE. Between two people we were blown away!! We ended up recommending to friends and...

Who ever said plant based was boring ? Literally... the tastiest veggie food I've ever tried. 100% recommend the veggie pie and the mousse cake... just amazing ! 🙌

Just popped into the Plough for a late evening drink on a beautiful Sunday evening. Their courtyard garden is so wonderful, full the most vibrant flowers. Always such a friendly service, can’t think of many better places to be in a warm summer evening

We were very lucky to find this fantastic pub at 1pm on a Sunday without pre-booking! I had the vegan loaf roast. It was amazing! So refreshing to be offered something different to nut roast! The whole dinner was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. My...

After a bit of a disaster trying another local pub we ended up the plough. Had a roast beef and it was awesome !! The staff, as always are super friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere. My top pub in henfield for sure !!

Thought we would try to celebrate a birthday with lunch in a pub garden. What a find. Lovely friendly greeting as soon as we arrived. Small walled garden with sunshine and shade--nothing pretentious just a cottage garden full of pots. Fantastic choice of gluten free...

OMG just had a Sunday lunch takeway from the plough. We had 2 courses for £15 , amazing value. Calamari was still hot and crispy. The roasts were HUGE, the meat, potatoes, lovely selection of vegetables, gravy all hot and plentiful. Arrived bang on time,...

This was our first Sunday lunch out for 6 months,it was worth the wait, Best roast dinner ever sticky toffee was to die for,AMAZING.Bob and Janetx

Had a takeaway meal during November lockdown which was delivered. The fish and chips were excellent, tasty fish, light batter with chunky chips, delivered hot and on time. What could be better!

Concerned we would not be able to enjoy the amazing food at the Plough in lockdown 2 - so happy they offer a takeaway service. Food is superb, nothing lost in transit, chicken strips, halloumi fries & calamari still fresh, crispy and hot. What a...

henfield has at last got a great place to eat (and we have waited a long time!!). The food at the plough is consistently good, beautifully presented and all the staff, together with steve and amanda, are so welcoming and pleasant.

We had a lovely chilled lunch today at the plough. We felt totally comfortable in the lovely surroundings. Steve and his friendly team made the experience all the better for that. Lovely food...Any chance of roast chicken on the Sunday menu Steve? Thank you for...

The Plough in Hendfield is a superb eatery and bar. With Steve's smiling and warming welcoming we had an excellent Friday night dinner with myself, my partner and motherinlaw. The choice on the menu was magnificent, we had 2 Beef & Ale Pies and 1...

Lovely food in their Thali Night dinner. Reassuring Covid measures taken, and managed a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and management. Will return soon and try their everyday menu, and hope to sit in the garden which looks great. Ignore old bad reviews - this pub...

We visited on Sunday for a late lunch and it was amazing! The roasts used to lovely, but the new chef has taken them up a notch! A huge selection of fresh vegetables and cauliflower cheese served with tender roast beef and rich gravy. Very...

Me and my family (6 adults ) had a Sunday roast on 13 September .. The food was amazing, great atmosphere and great service. Would highly recommend 😊

Table of 4 had Sunday roast, we all had a different roast, meat was beautifully cooked, delicious well seasoned good selection of vegetables and the gravy was lovely, highly recommend and we will be back!

Just had the tagliatelle for lunch here. By far the best I've had. Coming back to try rest of menu!!

I have loved the plough for a long time, due to a mixture of great food, brilliant atmosphere and extremely dedicated and friendly staff. Steve and Amanda are highly attentive and are running it brilliantly, and Bliss and Ness behind the bar are lively and perfect for the setting. Can not fault this pub!

Visited as we were staying close by. Lovely sun trap rear garden with benches. Modern, smart interior and wonderful service from the landlord Steve, who is obviously very good at what he does. Even got recommendation for breakfast the next morning!

Steve has created the proper boozer environment and its warm a cozy with great ales. Proper pub grub on the menu and it epitomises what Great Britain is all about. I highly recommend this pub if your passing through Henfield

We had an excellent Sunday lunch in the Plough. There was the choice of roast lamb, pork or beef, all came with roast potatoes, parsnip, carrot, peas, cabbage, home made Yorkshire pudding and good gravy. My roast beef was delicious, a thick slice, perfectly cooked. For pudding I had triple chocolate fudge cake with ice cream, yummy!Nut roast and a great selection of pies were also available.Service was really good, staff were friendly and welcoming and we will definitely be back.

Steve & Amanda took over the Plough a little over a year ago & have transformed the place.It’s cosy & friendly, and has the best selection of Ales in Henfield.Food is perfect pub food, they do a lovely Sunday Roast & the bar snacks menu 3 for £12 are good value & very tasty.They have a quiz the 2nd & 4th Mondays of the month which is always good fun.Highly recommended.

Stopped into the Plough for lunch whilst out and about. We usually go to the white hart but though we would try something different. I ordered the Streak and Stilton pie with mash. When it arrived it was with chips, but I quite like chips so I didn’t worry. Chips were really hot on the outside but a little under done and firm in the middle so I missed the mash I had ordered. The pie was a little dark on top which made it taste a touch bitter but was filling was quite tasty. The gravy was rich and very tasty. The pudding selection was limited, I had the fruit crumble which was nice, but I make a better one at home.

We were staying on a local campsite on holiday and nipped into the Plough for some dinner. The staff gave us and our dog Holly a genuinely warm welcome. The food was so good we returned for Sunday lunch which was also lush. Reasonable too. The Sauvingnon Blanc was one of the best I've had in a pub. The dog was also fussed over and given treats by the staff on each time we visited. All in all a great find and I would recommend!

Very enjoyable quiz night on a wet miserable Monday - nice atmosphere and the usual friendly efficient service. Can't recommend this place too highly

Ordered 4 doubles and came to £37.30!! When questioned I was accused of ordering 5 drinks. When you make a mistake just own up! Thankfully the manager stepped in and refunded the difference. Watch out for the bar staff!!

Went to The Plough for a little date night last night with the little one being away for the evening.Lovely table reserved for us and a really lovely atmosphere in the pub. Usually we go sundays for a roast but this time we thought we would try the bar snacks! £5 each or 3 for £12!!! Such a bargain! Presented nicely, big portions, well cooked and just scrummy. Lovely barmaid called Bliss who served us with a happy and smiley face. Amanda and Steve as always welcoming, friendly and amazing hosts ensuring everything to our satisfaction. Thanks guys you are doing great!

Dropped by while out for a lovely walk with my wife and 2 grown up children. Haven't been in for a while but I'd heard that it had changed hands again so I'd thought why not. We all walked in about 2pm to the bar. If ever I'd seen such an unhappy barmaid in my life. What is wrong with even a smile to greet people? Asked if we could order food, met with 'no food until 6pm'. What a grump. Ordered some drinks and sat out in the back beer garden. Everyone one said 'whats up with her face'. Wont be back in a hurry!

Have been to this pub several times since moving to the village in November. Already they remember us and really make an effort (even got asked how our holiday was). It’s genuinely nice to be remembered and welcomed. The service is brilliant ! The pub is very clean, well looked after and the pies are great. If I was going to give any feedback it would be just the stock of pies and running out. Highly recommended to all...hands down the friendliest pub in Henfield

I ate the pork, my wife went for veggie. They only did the roast and I wasn't in the mood for one initially but my god it was guurrrddd!

Once again I was fondly welcomed as I entered this beautiful country pub. Steve and Amanda, not only make you feel so welcome, the food they serve is tasty and incredible value for money. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. If the weather is good, you can enjoy the beautiful courtyard.

The Plough is the best it's been in years. Really good roast dinner today, bags of flavour and good value. Best range of real ales in Henfield from Dark Star, Long Man and Harveys.

If you want proper home cooked pub food the plough is definitely the pub in henfield to go to! The other 2 pubs in the high street are fine if you want fancy food but if like me you prefer a simple menu but with delicious home cooked food the plough it is! I had the pie and mash and it was lovely. Staff very welcoming and friendly and the pub is cosy with a nice outdoor seating area. Have already booked to return to try the Sunday roasts which I’m sure will be good!

Ten of us, including a baby, had a Mother's Day lunch at the pub today. A variety of Sunday roasts were ordered and mine was a vegetarian. Everyone enjoyed their food, although the carrots were a bit underdone for some but I like mine crunchy! The staff were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go there again. Thank you!

The Plough is a lovely, cosy pub situated on Henfield High Street in the heart of the Village. The staff are welcoming and friendly and take time to get to know people, so there's always a decent buzz about the place no matter how many people are in. The Pie and Mash menu is a nice point of difference to other pubs in the area, it's supported by a decent pub menu if pies aren't your thing, and there are roasts on a Sunday. Living in Henfield, it's also great to have a place where I can get a Vegan option for food and drink, which can be hard to find outside of the bigger towns in Sussex. Tofu and Spinach Pie or a Vegan Nut Roast on a Sunday, washed down with a Vegan Craft Ale keep me happy. The Real Ales are kept very well too, that along with the log fires for winter, the beer garden for summer and the friendly atmosphere make it an excellent place to visit.

lovely pub, next door to my favourite pub, where theres someone i like

We thought we would try The Plough again after we had heard it changed hands last September.

Nice old place with real fires but no Vegan meals and only a couple of vegetarian choices, also both lagers on tap were not vegetarian, the only two that aren’t (Fosters & Kronenbourg) good friendly service.

I have had lunch a couple of times over this festive period and the food/service were excellent. Good range of beers too and value for money. Pies excellent. Not searching for meat like in some establishments! Had sandwiches the first time we went and they were great too. Steve and his partner really show they care about their pub and its customers. Well done and keep up the good work!

We used the Plough as our local while on holiday in Henfield recently and I found it to be a great pub with a convivial atmosphere and well frequented. We didn't eat here so I can't comment on the food but it had a good many diners when we were there, and the beer was excellent. Steve, the manager, was friendly and my impression was that he certainly knew his business. This is a very well run pub.

I've visited The Plough two or three times since it changed hands and have found the service, the food and the welcoming ambience faultless. The new management is trying very hard, and succeeding as far as I'm concerned.

What has happened to this beautiful vibrant pub? There is a novice running the pub who clearly has no idea what he’s doing. No Food unless you like pies (not even homemade) or sandwiches, same for dinner? Sandwiches???

Took my family hear for lunch and dinner during my trip to the UK. Meals were great in a nice atmosphere of an old English pub

Used to eat here regularly, but oh dear, what has happened to this pub. The previous management provided such a great service, with lovely food from the excellent chef, it was hard to get a table if you had not reserved.

I last reviewed this pub on 26th July 2018 & was really looking forward to returning. In July gave it 10 out of 10, best village pub in Henfield, 5 star review on trip advisor. Unfortunately my visit today was very disappointing & this pub has gone downhill again.

Discovered this place in July and came back with friends and their small child again in September. There's new owners who have cleared some of the clutter from the walls but have kept the cosy feel. Dogs are welcome and it seems that many locals come here. The garden though is a hidden gem! It's an absolute suntrap and full beautiful plants and colours. Its a beautiful little pub with light bar snacks. The staff are lovely and we will be back.

What a great find, a delightful charming pub in the heart of Henfield.

The pub seems to be under new management, the atmosphere has disappeared with the old owners along with the menu, lights, customers etc.

I like a good burger and this was exceptional with Stilton with a strong flavour, thick juicy patty, topped with onion rings. Not normally a fan of skinny fries but these were very crisp and get a thumbs up from me.

Haven';t been here for 30 years, historically it has been a drinkers pub, we heard that the guys now running it had made significant improvements.

My girlfriend and I booked Sunday lunch at the Plough and both enjoyed it very much.

Great Pub for all occasions. Staff are very friendly and always helpful. Food is of a high quality and fairly reasonable. It also has a lovely garden that’s a sun trap when it’s warm as well as two fire places indoor which are generously lit when it’s cold. Suitable for families and groups.

The best ham, egg & chips I have ever had. Thanks to Adam who cooked it, the chips were amazing (cooked 3 times).

Friendly, relaxed village pub, good food, good service, charming courtyard garden, ticks a lot of boxes, recommended

We ate in the beautiful small garden at the pub, our meal was brought to us and it was excellent. Minted Lamb Donuts to start, then Gammon served with Hollandaise source, two poached eggs and MARMITE chips... Brilliant!!! Good selection of ales and friendly, helpful staff.

The Plough is a wonderful pub located in Henfield High Street. Unlike most pubs I have been to, The Plough does a Sunday roast with CHICKEN. There are other roasts on offer. I had a roast pork and beef, my wife had the roast chicken. The service was was excellent, as was the food. We will definitely be back. Thanks to James and the team for a lovely time.

It’s a quirky little pub, but James and Keith have really improved the service, menu and most importantly the quality of the food. Staff are lovely and friendly. My only criticism would be there is quite a lot of clutter - ornaments, and too many plant pots in the garden. Good value for money. And I would recommend it. On the cold days there are 2 fires and they are always lit, and well attended to, Comfortable seating and always clean.

The Plough is a beautiful gem of a pub in Henfield. The had a new Spring menu. We had the Sea Bream which was light and delicate and my friend had Wild Rabbit, all fresh and homemade.

Had pie and chips in The Plough. The fat chips were excellent, can't rate them highly enough. Nice pub, nice staff and nice surroundings. Will be going again soon.

Thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday lunch last week. I had the mushroom, spinach and blue cheese wellington and my husband had the vegan roast. Both were very good, and generous portions. More vegetables on the plate than when we first came, which was welcome. We only had room after this to share one of their banoffee pie desserts, one of the few I have tried that tastes like the one that I used to make from the Hungry Monk receipe - the original home of the banoffee pie.

Absolutely fab, very friendly pub, good beer and excellent service from all staff, first time used for lunch. Service very good, good for vegans ,veggies and meat eaters. When food came it looked great and tasted great, thought could do with more veg but being fair we were full up so they got it right. Best SUNDAY lunch for a long time, try it!

Warm, friendly service with a table by an open fire, what more could your asked for! The roast dinners were delicious and healthy portions. Will definitely be back for more!

Since James and Keith came back again,the Plough and garden are beautiful again.The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We enjoyed delicious meals.and the venison pie was one of the best I have ever had.I recommend booking a table

We stayed in Henfield 2 nights and drank in The Plough both evenings. Very popular pub with locals who made outsiders feel welcome. Dog friendly which was nice especially as there was a 10 week old pup in there.

The best, so delightful and friendly. Each time we went in we made new friends. Please do go you’ll not be disappointed 🙂

Good food and service at the right price. Might be best to book a table on Saturdays although they did manage to squeeze us in without a reservation.
