The Plough Inn in Tandridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fantastico. Met with a few friends. Sat in the sunny garden. Ordered 3 dishes to pick at, between us. Lovely. The girls were understaffed. They did tell me food only in front garden. However they were brilliant. Just an all round lovely lunchtime.

Popped in here whilst out cycling and myself and my friend both had the Gammon one with chips and the other with bubble and squeak. Food was really nice only gripe was the bubble and squeak was mainly veg and was watery. It’s a fantastic old pub with plenty of outside tables and gardens to the front side And rear. Savvanah was a great waitress and made a right fuss of my dog

Nice beers friendly staff good beer garden

Lovely pub grub and service with a smile!

Great pub with very friendly staff! Thai food is fantastic. Chefs are amazing. Great selection of beer. Thoroughly recommend.

A brilliant find from a work colleague. Great food.great service and excellent food it's a must try. Will definitely be going back it ticked all the boxes for us. THANK YOU.

Ate there last night. Hadn't booked and it was very busy, however the young lady behind the bar couldn't have been more helpful. She found us a table and brought our drinks over. The number of dishes on the menu will satisfy even the most picky of palates. There wasn't one dish out of the 8 we ordered that wasn't authentic, seriously tasty and reasonably priced. Despite being so busy the service was excellent too - 4 different people, each one engaging, polite and with a smile. The whole experience was uplifting and the food was everything we hoped for and more. One of the best meals out this year.

Lovely pub. Had food a while ago. And drink a few days ago. Shame they don't serve food on Sundays.

The best service, the best food, the best location. I don’t like to tell anyone as it’s just so good. Loved the Thai food so fresh and delicious. Wish it was closer to me. Thanks so much.

Amazing atmosphere and great Thai food

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Always consistently good

Visiting the area and found this gem of a pub. Very welcoming and both the vegetarian and carnivore were blown away by the Thai food, best we've eaten. Will try to go again before we leave.

Food was good however a little bland. Service was excellent and the pub has a good friendly atmosphere

Stopped doing food, well normal British menu, car park is always rammed, street outside rammed, ignorant people parking on public verges because they are to lazy, poor local people they must hate these lazy people, one would ask how they can be in a pub for hours and then drive

On this occasion we only stopped for drinks but I do love the food here. Everyone is so friendly and happy to help.

Stopped doing normal food, only Thai which is OK once in a while, always busy, noisy, ignorant people, parking is a complete joke, all entitled people, cars just abandoned, public highway jammed, cars dumped on verges

Pleasant traditional country pub. Plenty of car parking. Disabled access a bit tricky due to steps. Mainly Thai menu, which is extensive and very yummy.

Previously only been there for drinks and bar snacks and it was ok. Heard that they had good Sunday roast,so took my youngest there for Sunday dinner. Came in a approached the bar and asked for a table,and the owner was there and almost shouted,"Do you have a reservation?" No smile, no greetings, just a pretty much rude challenge. It actually was not that crowded there so this woman owner , kind of sneered at me and said " go sit at that table over there and someone will get your order. No drink order, just go over there and sit down. Well we literally sat there for 35 minutes and were completely ignored. After which we left . I will never go there again. Not even for a drink. Very rude owner woman. Also there is a small deep lake in the car park. So put your waders on. Seems like a real local place,and apparently the owner does not like new customers. Absolutely horrendous treatment. Shameful for a restaurant/ pub owner to be so rude.

Great country pub, friendly and homely. Good quality food

Good pub . Nice pint .Helpful friendly staff. Will be back Tx

We were recommended this pub for a Thai meal. Went early in the week. Loved the pub, very cosy and the staff were super. But, sorry to say, the Thai food was a let down. We had ribs which we couldn’t eat. They were in a watery saice and really did not appear fresh. The currys were also in a thin sauce and in our opinion lacked flavour. The stir fried veg however were lovely - very fresh. To be fair the staff were apologetic and took the ribs off the bill and we were given drinks. The coffee was excellent. Perhaps the chef was not there that evening because friends went the following week and had a terrific meal. Maybe we will try again!

What more can one say than exceptional Thai food, exceptional service in a rustic British Pub atmosphere. This pub is always very busy and that comes as no promise.

We made a last minute booking after covid cancelled other plans and we're so glad we did. They were busy with a great atmosphere, but service was very good with lots of the staff coming to check on us. The food as always was really good, slight mix up meant the starter arrived with the mains, but that was fine. A lovely evening ☺️

wonderful as usual. I stop off here every month and it never fails, great staff great food-whats not to like! plus Thai food

We came to try Fat Will's but it was underwhelming generally. Burgers were ok but definitely nothing special. My boys complained they had too much squeezy cheese on the chicken ones. At £15 each I felt they were overpriced. One nice waitress but the other one was not friendly and left us with the impression that we were an inconvenience. The desert menu advertised by Fat Wills and on the website was not the one that appeared in the pub. The belgian waffle was a packet waffle with one scoop of ice cream for £8 and not even warm - rip off! The cheesecake was straight out of the freezer - my son was cutting it with a knife it was so hard. Again overpriced. Disappointing as our Thai experience was much better.

Was given a table, then waited over 30 minutes before being served. To be told sorry kitchen closed 10 minutes ago. Manager had to apologise. Finally got food within 7 minutes. No discount given. Poor.

Can't quite understand why we have left it 13 years to come back here. It's not changed a bit. The Plough is what a pub should be, catering for locals, diners & dogs! We had a wonderful welcome, served out drinks almost straight away, even though the bar was busy. Lovely, friendly atmosphere, attentive staff & the food & really good. We thought the prices were reasonable for what we had to eat & drink. Our dog got as much attention as we did from the staff which made us laugh lots. We most definitely won't be leaving such a huge time gap for out next return.

Disappointed with the Thai food tonight. We’ve eaten here on many occasions and tonight’s meal was by far the worst food we’ve had. The butterfly grilled prawns were poorly deveined and arrived with no marinade so were therefore dry when served with the boiled rice. The rice arrived in a chipped boil. When I tried to alert the manager to the issues she was quite dismissive albeit she did bring extra marinade out. Other bar and waiting staff were very apologetic and gave good service. Hopefully this was just a bad night as normally the food here is really good.

We went to this pub with friends as I have been told that the Thai food here is excellent but as I love Thai food and have been to many fine Thai restaurants I beg to differ I’m afraid. The pub itself is really old and atmospheric and is very buzzy but it’s almost impossible to get a drink at the bar as so many regulars just sit around and stand by it which is extremely frustrating as I had to shout my drinks order across people at the bar who just don’t really care and carry on chatting regardless as if you were invisible ( Rude, and should be stopped by the landlord/landlady immediately as it is a small bar ) Enjoyed the mixed starters but my friends ordered the Thai Beef salad which they love, but this was very poor and nothing like the ones they had before, saying it lacked the proper taste and no sauce, no heat and was very sweet ( Should have lime, fish sauce, chilli and slight sugar ) I ordered the whole sea bass which come in fillets, and that’s the first time I have ever ordered this dish in a Thai restaurant without the whole fish coming out, so they should alter that on the menu as I’m sure that the fillets just come out of a frozen pack from the supermarket ! However it was a lovely evening and the ambiance was superb, and we enjoyed it there enormously but will not be returning for the Thai food, but for drinks and a roast dinner if I can get to the bar and order !!!

The food was spectacular. Great atmosphere and lovely staff! It was also a perfect place to lose a wallet ... it was found, stored and returned intact the following day. I will eat there again on principle whenever in the area. 😀

Lovely Pub. I've had food in the past and is always good.

Excellent lunch here today. Choice of Thai menu or English pub restaurant menu. Both equally good. Food was excellent. One of us had Thai, the other had English menu. Staff & service also very good. Will be back

The Plough has always had a good reputation for food and it did not disappoint. We had starters of Prawns Tempura and Pork Spare Ribs which were both superb in taste and quantity. My main course was Prawn Pad Thai and Sweet & Sour Beef - it was stupendous. My partner's Seabass with rice was just as good. From an old English pub, one doesn't expect superb Thai food but this offering beats any dedicated Thai restaurant in the area.

Dropped in for a pint and some food at lunchtime following a circular walk from the Plough. We arrived and were able to go in with our dog. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, even offered a bowl of water and a couple of biscuits for our dog. They were serving Thai food with an extensive menu of Thai food. The food was very authentic and made with fresh ingredients and was outstanding. Amongst the best Thai food that I have had in the UK. Will definitely be back again 👍

I have eaten at the Plough a few times now and never been disappointed. The food, especially the Thai menu is excellent. It is always hot, nicely cooked, really tasty, well presented and the portions are filling to say the least. The bar staff and waitresses are polite, friendly and attentive. Regardless of some previous reviews you cannot in fairness fault the service. Bar prices are average for the area and the food is very good value for the quality you are served. A few considerations if you are visiting. The car park is small and you can end up parking a fair way along the road if it is busy. The interior is quite cramped, having steps to enter and different floor levels. The ceiling is low with some beams so mind your head. There is indoor and outdoor seating, it is dog friendly, I would most certainly book before attending at weekends. It's a really nice traditional English village pub, well worth a visit.

Friendly pub, lovely old building. Plenty of room outside

Amazing pub, great atmosphere and the fat wills burgers were spot on. Highly recommend. Staff were so friendly and the service was on point. Food was quick and prompt.

Great place for pre-race drinks.

Had the Fat Will's lamb burger along with a side of hot wings. Really good burger, and the wings hit the spot too with just the right amount of spice.

Had food from the Thai restaurant section. It was the best I've ever had. Loved it and look forward to eating there again. The service was excellent, and we felt well looked after. There was a party event on so it was quite loud and very busy but that wasn't a problem at all. Loads of outside seating and a cute restaurant area indoors. Overall, it is a lovely country pub with a Thai restaurant attached. Very dog friendly with towels, biscuits, and water bowls available. Parking is difficult when busy and quickly spills out of the carpark and chokes the local road.

Excellent customer service! Great food.

Food was amazing... The salmon was beautifully cooked 😋 family had roast beef and they enjoyed it

First time at this pub. The food was fantastic the staff so lovely every thing was brilliant we will always go there when in the area thank you

My wife and I have recently moved to this area and we had Sunday lunch at the Plough today. The food was excellent and the service from the attentive friendly staff could not have been better. It is a lovely pub with lots of character. We will definitely be back.

Came here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We came on a Wednesday evening thinking it will be calm, we did book. When arrived it was pleasantly busy, no parking spaces in car park but plenty on road. The girls who served us very pleasant and hard working and attentive. The pub/ restaurant has a nice vibe, this was added by other people in the pub the clientele were families and couples. Not loud louts. We did not know what to choose from a very extensive Thai menu. This menu is large. So opted for the set meal. We liked all the food and choice in the set menu was very nice. Some of the starters were deep fried, as meant to be. However for some reason and not the first time my wife had upset tummy later, we think there something to do with cooking oil as it has happened before in other nice restaurants, this is NOT a reflection of the food. We just need to work out what oil is used. To avoid in future. We will return and alter, choose food not deep fried, Would recommend, but book.

Great pub & the staff are excellent. The food is also amazing.

Lovely country pub with great staff

Another great meal in the plough ... steak night...the meal tasted superb ... asked the owner where she gets such fresh cuts of beef... off local farmer .. Allen matin meats ashurstwood .. .. off to there tmoz 👌🔥

The Thai food is incredible, possibly the best Thai food we've ever had! We loved everything we tried, especially the Pad Thai (#46), the Pad Kra Prao (#24), and the Lab Kai (#16). I'd recommend trying the coconut rice too! Cannot recommend the Thai food enough!

Superb traditional pub. Excellent ales and a wide range of delicious meals 👍 Thai Tuesdays are a must, delicious traditional Thai dishes 😋

Great Thai food! Can't wait to go back.

Great pub, really nice staff, good food.

Very good evening and the food was excellent aswell as the service received from the staff 100% Second visit

The Thai Food here is absolutely fabulous and very reasonably priced - defiantly recommend.

Excellent food and terrific service. Will be going back soon.

Excellent English country pub, with a Thai food twist. All very good food and beer etc. Book early its popular.

Staff friendly, prices ok. Haven't eaten here but have been told by a few people it's delicious

How lovely it was to step inside this beautiful tavern - warm and cosy - and doing a good trade on a Friday winter’s lunchtime ! Really lovely food - very fresh and well presented - there’s even a very extensive Thai menu to run alongside traditional pub classics. Yes we would return !

Really nice pub with friendly staff and great food, especially on the first Wednesday of each month where they do a steak night.

Went to the plough today, called last minute and they managed to fit us in (table of 5 + high chair) within 45 mins of calling. Lovely cosy traditional pub. Greeted when we arrived and shown to table. Staff friendly and polite. Starters were lovely, and beef roast was absolutely delicious, best in area by far and lots of veg and potatoes. Kids meals were great, all 3 children cleared their plates. Busy but didn't have to wait long between courses at all. Deserts were also really good. Staff great with the children as well. First time coming here but we will definitely be returning. Thanks you all at The Plough!

Arrived at the plough, found our own table. Not greeted at all. Booked for 6pm finally approached by waitress at 6.25. Staff all chatting, on phones and one was eating. When we were eventually approached staff very friendly. Food was good although a questionable starter,...

Another top Thai delicious dinner and the usual excellent service. Such a great pub. We love it.

Lovely countryside pub, just had a drink no food but has a goid atmosphere

My advise is don’t book here . Rude , surly waitresses who would rather give filthy looks than make the occasion a happy one . They upset the Bride and Groom , messed up orders but spoke to the newly weds and guests as though...

Very busy, but lovely staff, good beer and food. Prices have gone up, but I can't blame them! Cosy, open fire pub. Yes please.

Great Thai food value for money

Ok portions, expensive, didn't quite get the expected quality given price. Dog friendly and booking the lady was very helpful and gave us an appropriate table for a bigger dog. Service started really well, friendly and fast, then simply disappeared, had to ask for the table to be cleared and dessert menus after waiting 40 minutes with staff constantly walking past (was very busy). Would try again on a different day as everything is resolvable and given popularity maybe we got unlucky this time.

Fab atmosphere, lovely staff and amazing food.

Amazing Thai food, great staff.

We went for a Sunday roast. We were advised when we were seated that the service may be slow as they were short-staffed. The service was very slow, unfortunately it was also extremely rude. The waiting staff did not make eye contact when giving us our food and drinks, and were actually turned away from the table at the point of putting our food and drink on the table; such was their rush to get away. This was problematic when they provided me with the wrong drink but I could not tell them as they were facing away from me as they put it on our table. As we were only able to get the attention of the staff approximately once every 45 minutes, there was then no opportunity to get my drink changed afterwards. The staff did this on other tables as well, and we could see the look of offence on a neighbouring table when the vegetables for their main were eventually brought five minutes after their meal and thrown on their table without acknowledging the customers. This created an unpleasant atmosphere. I ordered a £7.95 "lemon sponge pudding" for dessert. I was given a slice of lemon cake. I didn't have an opportunity to say anything or change my dessert, as, again, the staff put the plate on the table whilst leaving. When we were able to ask for the bill, I said that I ordered a lemon sponge pudding but was given a slice of cake and the response from that member of staff was 'Well that's nothing to do with me" before immediately leaving. A different member of staff came to take payment and asked if everything was okay with our meal. I said that the service was rude, rushed without being quick, and that there were problems with my drink and dessert order. This member of staff defensively responded that the cake was homemade but did offer to get it deducted from the bill. She unfortunately was visibly shaking her head when walking away from our table afterwards. I found this dining experience actively offensive.

Friendly country inn offering a fine menu selection and choice of real ales. Cosy and characterful with plenty of outdoor seating - even sold locally produced honey at the bar.

We live around the corner, and thank goodness we do! This is a perfect local pub, with amazing food. It very friendly, and loves having dogs, which we love. We order Thai takeaways regularly from here, which is a superb option.

We had a wonderful meal today. All cooked to perfection. Friendly staff, good service. Food was great, with plenty of choice on the Sunday menu. We opted for roast beef, lamb shank. Apple and rhubarb crumble, poached pear. Delicious! Love love this pub!

The food was great and the service fast and friendly. Lovely cosy atmosphere, especially with the wind and rain outside. We’ll definitely be returning!

Had a lovely meal with my wife, kids and dog last week. Excellent food, excellent service and a lovely pub all round. Thanks !

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Gorgeous place, super atmosphere. Thank you to them for a fabulous family lunch. Lovely girls serving too. So sweet. Huge thanks!

Been awhile but had a quick Thai lunch today and was lovely. Staff was very nice in servings and recommending dishes. Thanks All..

First visit here and will be definitely going back .The thai food was to die for absolutely gorgeous

Food was great and the service was good.

Well, that was disappointing. We have been here many times before but today it was a shambles. Two pints of Harveys (usually excellent) were sent back before we had to switch to London Pride which was still not great. We waited 45 minutes for our...

The best halloumi fries I have had, great staff and a lovely garden

First time in my life I ordered an adult meal (short rib, 17,95) and went hungry. Normally order the children's menu because I eat very little so this was shocking. A portion of veg to go with meat and mash would have probably been enough.

The Thai food was absolutely delicious. We can thoroughly recommend a visit.

Very good place to eat drink and socialise and everyone's so friendly and makes me feel welcome. 😊🍺

Lack of a typical pub lunch all sophisticated food not to our liking no sandwiches salads or plain English food and quite expensive won't b going back

Tasty Thai Takeaway at reasonable prices. Good quality ingredients. Short waiting times (under 30 mins on weekdays). Makes an enjoyable change from Indian/Chinese. Check availability on different days of week.

Stunning gardens are worth the visit alone. House has an interesting history and was used in the filming of Wolf Hall. Coffee and pastry was good too

Have eaten most of their menu over time. Prefer the lighter bites to the burgers etc. Sunday roast is bland. Vege burger dry as a bone. Lovely old school pub with fabulous Landlady and staff more than make up for the food.

It’s a lovely old pub with fantastic gardens and I had not eaten there before, so we booked for a Sunday lunch. I had a lamb roast but was very disappointed with the meat, as it was just more fat and gristle which I do...

We go there for the Thai food it's fantastic.

Lovely place. Friendly staff. Restaurant area clean Nd spacious. It was Thai night and the food was excellent.

Great country pub. Well-kept beer, but only two ales on tap when we visited. Would love to come here for dinner some time.

We booked lunch at this pub on the off chance as we were going racing at lingfield. What a beautiful pub and as for the food I cant say anything bad against it. I had the chicken bacon and avocado salad and it was seriously delicious. I only wished I lived nearer because I would be back.

Turned up with my kids 9 and 4 yo's, got handed a Thai menu 'thought to myself hear we go, we'll be leaving now I guess' waitress asked straight away about the kids if they wanted chick nuggets an chips. I said oh yes plz....

Stunning food, packed full of flavor, wasnt expecting much tbh, from a local country pub serving Thai food 'how I was wrong'!! Young helpful and very friendly staff with a faultless service 👍

Very nice friendly local pub. Good beer. Thai food in the evening Great

We arrived late in the afternoon after a drizzly winter walk locally. Despite the pub being very busy, we were made very welcome and ordered some mains at 2:45pm. A recommendation from a friendly local at the bar was the pies. He wasn't wrong. If available I recommend the steak & kidney pie.

Excellent service from confident and friendly staff. The lunch was simply sensational. We were a group of 5 adults with a small child and the quality of each meal was very good indeed. We had a mixture of Thai and English dishes and a few...
