The Plough Inn in Brighton and Hove

What can I say? So far my favorite place for a Sunday roast has always been The Bristol Bar in Kemptown (which is always exceptional). So what a delight to find this place in Pyecombe. Me and my girlfriend came here today for a Sunday roast. What a lovely pub. And the amazing staff (big shout out to the wonderful Alyssia who was just delightful and very friendly). The lamb roast was delicious. Pretty much every thing was perfect. I would 100% recommend this place and we will definitely be going back for more. 10/10 for everything and a huge thank you to the wonderful staff.

Excellent meal. The food was great and so was the friendly staff. The portions were huge and I would recommend the fajitas.

Excellent food. I ordered the broccoli soup and salmon and pea risotto. Both were full of flavour and presented tastefully. Throughly recommended.

What a lovely place! Driven past here loads and always wanted to pop in. So decided to come here today and was not disappointed! Service was great, the ladies were lovely. Food was fantastic. Had the veggie burger with was mozzarella stick with pesto and salad and it was so tasty. The rest of the family really enjoyed their food. Would definitely come here again.

Food is beautiful here, medium priced but very special and staff are always friendly. I always come here for the Curried Risotto......delicious.

I went here for a family meal on a Sunday lunchtime, there were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try! My niece recommended the pork belly so I opted for that and I was hugely impressed. I didn’t want the meal to end but it was so filling I knew I couldn’t finish it. My sister had the smoked salmon risotto and said it was amazing, my brother in law had the chilli beef and that looked incredible (I will be having that next time!). My 3 year old had fish fingers from the kids menu and it was such a generous portion. I was so impressed with the quality of the food and the prices. I will definitely be going back.

Ive just eaten here with my family after a country drive. The food was fantastic, also very nice and bright inside, nice pine finish in the wood panneling. All 3 who ate felt the mains and desserts were great. The staff had great manner and...

Great service and great food very satisfied Went with my daughter for lunch Hadn’t been for awhile and the levels of service and food are still top very happy

Walked over from Clayton with the dog and decided to have something to eat. We were made very welcome and had the spicy prawn starter and mushroom risotto...very good freshly prepared restaurant quality food served with a smile. We found everyone there very relaxed and...

Fabulous food served by very courteous staff in very generous portions, all at an extremely reasonable price.

Delicious food, great service, amazing environment. Will definitely be back! Recommend to everyone!!

Came to the Plough for the first time in many years for a special family birthday. We were a large group (11) and easily accommodated. Booking via telephone was easy and whilst many would prefer to book online it took no time. The service throughout...

Menu looked nice until food arrived. Portions feed two people; the fajita meat swims in oil and piled high and the risotto was bland and mountainous. Garlic over powers the food. It’s definitely a place for quantity over quality if that’s your preference. Unfortunately it’s...

Dropped in today for the first time for lunch. Greeted by friendly, welcoming staff and had fabulous food and service. We will be back!

Had a delicious Sunday Roast today the beef just melted in your mouth. Staff were amazing and very friendly. Not been before but certainly will be back

Just got home from Christmas dinner at £70 a head All I can say is all they are interested in is getting as much money in there till as possible No Christmas atmosphere had to ask to clean table hadn’t even put cutlery on table...

Can’t praise the Plough and it’s staff high enough. We went for a family celebration 35 of us and it was awesome. The food was delicious. The atmosphere lovely. Clean, friendly, welcoming, accommodating and I’m really not sure what else I can say Anytime I...

We had a few hours till we could check into our hotel so stopped for lunch here. We were met by very friendly and welcoming staff with a smile and continued to be attentive and friendly . We ordered our food and got our drinks...

I went post football and despite our appearance they were very welcoming but advised us to take some space outside...I have a feeling our general scruffiness somewhat brought the standards down. My only gripe bar being cast outside was the price of their drinks. I...

Great welcome as we entered, our waiter was great fun and very helpful, the food was fantastic, I had the smoke salmon and prawn salad and it was really good everyone else was pleased with their meal, the desserts were served and although I didn’t...

On our last day of hols we asked the sat nav for a close restaurant and turned up here! It was certainly lucky for us as I do love fish and I had a choice without the usual inevitable battered covered fish. I chose the...

We had chicken avocado salad and my brothers had lasagne and a burger. Food was fantastic and served very quickly ! Service was great too. Our server was polite and not pushy asking about any food allergies. We sat in their conservatory which was warm...

We came for lunch today after a visit to a nearby farm and we so pleased we stopped here! The staff were all very friendly and helpful, great with our children and polite. The food was fantastic! My partner loved the baby back ribs! Kids...

Surprisingly for a pub located in such a picturesque spot for walking the downs with your dogs, they are not allowed anywhere inside. Just outside by the front door on an outside table. The lady behind the bar confidently told me that not many pubs...

We live in Hove, and this has to now be our favorite place to eat. Its perfect for all ages. The food is amazing and reasonably priced. The staff are always so happy to help and are friendly and polite. I have been on different...

Perfect 30th Birthday Meal! I had a booked a local Air BnB stay in Pyecombe for my fiancés 30th Birthday. And when I was looking around for a restaurant/pub for a meal out I came across this one and been better it was a 3...

We visit The Plough a few times a year as we find the staff, atmosphere and food all very good. Today we had a nice burger and chicken fajitas, very tasty and enjoyable. Thanks guys 👍

Stopped here for lunch whilst walking on the SDW. Nice food and ambience........our burger and salad were both tasty enough - but pricey compared to many other similar places. On top of that they add a 10% service charge on at the till without mentioning...

Location & food was really enjoyable, but it was the waiting staff & attention to detail for our requirements that was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent service.

Brilliant birthday meal. Had a lovely meal for put daughters birthday. Great waiter (George I think ) yummy plentiful food. Will be back again soon!

The staff were friendly the starters were good but the mains were awful. Pork belly was very overcooked and dry. Pigs in blankets has to be sent back as the sausages were raw and then the replacement was deep fried to hell! The kids burgers...

If you get the chance to go here DO! Its such a lovely place, very friendly staff and the food is unreal! Been a few times and not once had anything to complain about. Everything is full of flavour and well priced. Highly recommend and...

Delicious food, fantastic vegetarian options and extremely friendly and prompt service from all members of staff. Thankyou very much 😊

We have visited The Plough on several occasions. There is always a wide choice of excellent dishes to suit every taste and occasion. The staff are friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable

What can I say the food was delicious, service fantastic a really lovely evening. Will definitely be going back, this is my new favourite restaurant.

We visited here for a surprise meal for my husbands special birthday .. I’d booked a table for 8, but when we arrived at the restaurant , they said it was booked for only 4,, this never would have been an option ., The menu...

Great food and hosts . We have visited several times over last few months the food never disappoints. Superb hospitable and entertaining staff . thank you

Having just started my retirement days out mid week are still a treat. We came and had a wander round Devils Dyke and then found the plough at Pyecombe. We had a warm welcome were offered a drink at our table and surveyed the menu....

Our 1st visit to the Plough was very pleasant, we had exerllent service from all the staff. The food was tasty and hot. We didn't feel rushed or ignored. A prefect balance. We would definitely recommend a visit.

We visited here a couple of days ago. It’s a place that we always drive past but never stop, after seeing a good selection of photos on Instagram we decided to visit! The food was great! My pork belly was beautiful. The service was great...

I just wanted to write a review about our second Christmas Dinner in a row. We enjoyed the experience last year so booked and went again this year and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing and the staff were again excellent. Most definitely...

Four of us visited this month. We each had a starter and a main course. The service was fantastic, the food was absolutely delicious. There’s a lot more on the menu we would like to try so will be back. Excellent health & safety measures...

Going out for a lunch with friends and this was a convenient halfway venue. Menu looked fairly standard. Wow, were we impressed! The staff were so friendly and helpful, the venue has been beautifully (tastefully) decorated for Christmas, and the food was superb. Two of...

I came here for an all-important birthday celebration and was lured in by the expensive prices and warm country atmosphere. Whilst I couldn’t say my experience was terrible, I feel the quality of the fare was not up to par. The mulled wine was tepid...

Visited in the evening on a Sunday and was able to get a meal other than Sunday roast. The Staff were friendly, service was quick and good. Our food was nice along with our drinks.

Stopped off on the way home from a short hol. Chanced our luck with no booking and welcomed in. Great atmosphere and friendly staff Good sized portions and tasty food

Dropped into the bar at noon on the off chance and although they had a fully booked restaurant they were able to fit my son, grandson and I in for lunch. People were lovely and helpful and food was nice and well presented and tasty....

Lovely atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful staff, especially the lady that served us during our meal. I'm sorry we did not catch your name, but you made the experience and day much more bearable, as we had just come from a funeral. The food was...

We dropped in for Sunday lunch and weren’t disappointed. We both had the roast dinners, one beef and one turkey. Dinners were well presented, tasty and generous. Service was polite, cheerful and timely. Well worth a visit.

We just need a quick meal in pleasant surroundings which was exactly what we found at The Plough. Good food, friendly staff, excellent service, thank you.

The Plough is always good when I visit. I had a three course meal and enjoyed every course, I really recommend the duck starter!

The best burgers ever, beef and lamb and we’ve eaten a lot of burgers in the past!! Would recommend it particularly if you’re walking the South Downs way like us and need a boost!!

The food at the Plough was excellent. We had duck parcels and prawns in tomato spicy sauce to start. We both then had tacos and chicken and peppers with sour cream etc. Main was very substantial. The pub is clean well spaced out and the...

Visited on the back of a recommendation from a friend and if didn't disappoint. The staff were so accommodating and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. The menu has something for everyone and the food was lovely. On top of that they have...

Bank Holiday Sunday at 6pm - No Lamb Shank, no beef for a roast beef, no dauphinoise potato to have with the Sea Bass [so served with mash but no veg]. Only 4 Turkey roasts left - no Apple pie. Over an hour from seating...

The restaurant was clean, staff excellent and food very good. Booked at last minute as our usual meeting place was not available, but not disappointed and will return to the Plough. Overall excellent.

Popped in for lunch when walking on the Downs. Just lovely. A warm welcome and plenty of seating outside, we had the grilled lamb and mixed grill. Both were cooked to perfection; tender and full of flavour. The team are a delight and the chef...

This was a very impromptu visit so we had no time to check out reviews etc but we were not disappointed. Visited here on a Sunday for a late lunch. It was very busy but service was still good. We all had lamb - BBQ...

We were first timers at the Plough, passed it many times and finally came to try. Not disappointed at all ! The interior is great, a mixture of the old pub it was, and the new conservatory extention, plus a big terraced garden, make it...

A group of 5 of us went for lunch. We had two particular dish requests which were accommodated without question. Friendly efficient staff.

Attended as a family of four; two adults & two kids, had a table for us even though we hadn't booked. The staff are always friendly, polite & accommodating. Great menu to choose from & reasonable prices. Whilst we were there the heavens opened and...

The fantastic Plough team hosted our wedding reception with short notice. They served us great barbecue buffet and pizzas in the evening. The space was totally perfect and made our day special. Thank you to the whole team for being so accommodating and friendly.

We visited here yesterday and my partner had Fajitas, I had lamb kebabs and my daughter had some chips, they were very accommodating to us, always on the bull with drinks and orders. Very polite and helpful staff.

Me and my partner were looking for a hearty lunch after a sunny trek across the South Downs and this definitely hit the spot! Food was excellent, usual pub favourites but with fajitas and pizzas too. Service was incredibly friendly and we enjoyed chatting to...

Very friendly staff .We have had excellent takeaways through out the Pandemic . I would highly recommend the fajitas and the pizzas .

Dropped in when the legs stopped working on the southdowns way. Food was delicious and the staff extremely friendly and considerate, given my state! Especially the young bar tender who made sure I had the sauces I needed before I left. Thanks guys, short but...

Gentleman behind the bar was very rude, he walked off whilst I was still taking to him! Food plate dirty, tea cup dirty and was served with a wet, manky tea bag which clearly had been damp whilst being stored ( was in a sealed...

After driving past this place and hearing all about it for a long time, we finally came in for Sunday lunch with some family. Was a nice day and outside was busy - but still plenty of tables, as we came later (2.15 reservation) things...

Just returned from a ‘birthday’ family meal at the Plough. Cracking food and marvellous service. The staff were very engaging👍

Conveniently located adjacent to the A23, this country pub is close enough to still hear the traffic at significant enough decibels that you won’t forget you were travelling and you will therefore soon be leaving again and heading on your merry way. No doubt popular...

Rang to see if there was availability for lunch after a visit to a local garden centre. Very friendly & accommodating staff, who welcomed us straight away . The lunches my friend & I had were fabulous. Fresh, crisp salads with beautifully cooked chargrilled chicken,...

Friendly Service, traditional Pub grub. Very well looked after by the staff. Stayed in local B&B and were totally happy to walk down to Pub to unwind. Definitely hit the spot after a hard day!

It’s was mid-week and decided to take a drive from Worthing over to the plough at Pyecombe. We have been many times as the staff and food are great. We sat out the front and ordered two chicken fajitas. They promptly came and they were...

Food is absolutely beautiful and very friendly service, highly recommend and will definitely visit again

Just been in your garden for lunch and have come out feeling very upset by the way we were treated. We were upset with the service we received as we were here for 4 hours because of extremely slow service. We waited for 45 minutes...

Really nice food, bit more interesting menu than the usual pub, BBQ definitely recommended! Great service, super friendly. And nice terrace with heaps of space

We have, through lockdowns, fallen into the lazy, but satisfying, habit of treating ourselves to Sunday lunch from The Plough. In happier times one of our favourite places to eat - over many years never had a poor meal - currently takeaway roasts are providing a highlight in these very grey times.As with a sit down meal at The Plough, the food is always perfectly cooked, the ingredients of very high quality and the portions satisfying by any measure.All in all a welcome treat at very modest cost.

We all fancied something different and I had seen The Plough Pyecombe were doing takeaway. So we thought it's treat time. One had calzone and salad, One had lasagne and garlic bread And last one had plough beef burger with fries. Wow what a treat...

I have been going to the plough for 19 years!! Never a bad meal or a bad experience! No matter what the occasion the plough has got you!! Personal favourite is always calzone & focaccia 😜. Staff are always great too!!!

We visited for Christmas Day lunch and were really impressed. Half our group were vegetarian and all food was heartily enjoyed. Staff were really friendly, and we’ll certainly be coming back for Tier 4 takeaways in the next few weeks!

We ate out on Christmas Day and had a fantastic meal. The starter, main and desert were all very tasty and of high quality. The staff were exceptionally friendly and made the experience very enjoyable. We are certainly going to be visiting for takeaways during the lockdown.

We enjoyed a nice evening meal here - would recommend! Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Only very minor criticism would be that there aren’t many veggie options on the menu, but the food we ordered was lovely.

Always a great meal served by lovely staff. Can’t go wrong with the Plough. Excellent food excellent service. Thank you.

Popped by on Sunday and picked up two superb ( more than you could possibly eat ) Turkey Roasts - Takeaway ready in 20 minutes ! £13.00 per head - you can't go wrong

Currently ordering takeouts from the Plough. Excellent service and delicious food as usual. I’m delighted they are still serving the community. Thank you

Fantastic pub - super clean and staff really friendly and helpful. Menu options were good for us all, including vegetarian options. I’d a fantastic vegetarian Wellington roast. So many vegetables and cooked to perfection! My son had a chocolate brownie and ice cream for dessert and said it was amazing! Will definitely be returning!

Family lunch - first visit here. Fantastic food and service. Bbq great feature of the menu. Highly recommended.

Went for a family lunch on Bank Holiday Monday. Great food cooked on the BBQ. The mixed grill was massive. Loads of lovely meat.

Being right on our doorstep living in Brighton we visited The Plough for a pub lunch out on the back patio. The weather was perfect for being outside and you got to enjoy the yummy BBQ smell. There was a variety of options on the menu and having seen some things come out it did seem a couple looked better than others. I settled on the lamb fillets which come with pita bread, mint yogurt sauce, chips, roasted tomato, and a XS salad. The lamb was well cooked and seasoned however other bits needed a little uplift. toast the bread longer, a bit of salt on the chips, for mint in the sauce. My hubby had a burger that looked good but he said it was dry. Overall not a bad pick but not sure I'd rush back. Also the service was slow and the staff seemed to forget we were outside.

A very warm welcome from staff, seated prompt and food was super speedy! I had the lamb shank and what a great choice! Amazing ! Fell off the bone and was a delight to eat, my wife had the chicken from the BBQ and it was amazing! Tender and delicious ! Will definitely be coming back! (Cauli cheese was amazing) thank you

Disappointed that they were not part of eat out to help out and their attitude when asked “by law we have to display a sign”... also so sanitiser evident. Food good though.

Haven't been here for years and was impressed. Came on a Saturday late afternoon and food & service were great. Only downside is that the beer/ale selection is not the best around and on the expensive side. Will come back.

Haven’t been here for such a long time but we thought we’d pop in as we were passing, disheartened to find at 6pm no roast dinner option was left. But chose another dish which was lovely. Everything was going well until another group of 4 were placed to sit on the table next to us. There was definitely not 2m between us. There was no one else sitting in the restaurant. Felt that this could have been avoided and they could have been placed elsewhere to adhere to the strict rules. No member of staff was wearing a mask either, and had been touching the glasses around the rim where I was going to be drinking. Haven’t been out to eat many times since restrictions have been lifted but made me feel uneasy. However great food and great service. Not sure if we shall be going back.

Absolutely brilliant meal as always with such incredibly kind and lovely staff and atmosphere. Always such a pleasure coming here.

I was quite worried When we decided to brave it out for a first meal post lockdown and visit one of my all time favourite restaurants for an early dinner. I had nothing to worry about, staff were amazing as always , food just out of this world and the place is just a piece of countryside heaven. We were offered a lovely table outside , eating Alfresco and all physical distancing adhered to at all times. We felt very safe and had a very enjoyable evening. If you haven’t visited this little gem , you should.We Will be back very soon XOXO

Always have a wonderful experience here! Food is lovely, staff are a delight. Friendly, chatty, good knowledge of menu, bubbly, always smiling. Looks like a great team. Fantastic customer service, how it should be done. My partner and I have been here many times and will continue to go back! Good value for money, can’t wait for our next visit!
