The Plough Inn in Shepway

After being let down by a restaurant in Dymchurch we stumbled across this gem, we had a great Sunday carvery which was delicious and plentiful and the three young girls serving where delightful, will certainly return when we are down next

We were very fortunate to be able to book in last minute for a lunch for 10 people. The food was amazing, piping hot, generous portions. The staff were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

At the Plow Inn, we had a traditional Sunday Roast, where you choose a portion size and scoop the finished meal onto your plate. The menu included beef, turkey or pork, gravy, baked cauliflower, roasted potatoes, broccoli, etc. The food is rather average, the service is excellent, the prices are reasonable.

We were staying in New Romney and drove by several times. We decided to stop in for supper one evening and were not disappointed. It is definitely a local watering hole as there were lots of locals. Someone bought us our first round of drinks because we were Canadians. The Hamburgers and especially the chicken burger are huge, and probably 2 meals. The staff are very friendly and accommodating only issue is parking is very tight with a motorhome.

was welcomed by a lovely waitress who seated us, the food was incredible and would 100% say the best roast dinner/ carvery i’ve ever had in a pub

The staff were friendly and helpful, food was great, served quickly, hot, with good sized portions, and very well priced.

Gathering with 7 friends for lunch and had a great meal. We had a variety of meals - Lasagne, Sausage and mash, Prawn cocktail, Steak and Stilton pie and Combo platter. All extremely tasty. Good prompt service. We all paid separately and very efficiently were given our printed individual bills ready for payment. Will definitely recommend.

Had southern fried chicken delivered it was hot arrived quickly not at all greasy perfect

Went in this amazing pub Monday evening with my family before school restarts. Was not disappointed..food was stunning even right down to the service..big ups to the chef and Dean and Becky you should be so proud of yourselves...

Arrived in New Romney for a holiday from Stoke-on-Trent. Called in for an evening meal and from walking through the door we were greeted by a friendly lady who showed us to a table. I was really hot as we had walked from our holiday camp down the road and she switched on the air conditioning which was a lovely gesture. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable. The food was lovely and served with a smile. Overall we would eat there again as they were so accommodating. I highly recommend. First class.

Has potential to be a great place but our experience as a group of 6 was very mixed. Definitely overpriced for what we had. Starters: the fried brie was amazing we couldn't fault that at all but the BBQ chicken bites were terrible drier than the table legs and drowned in sauce so you couldn't taste the chicken. The steak wasn't cooked to requested preference and over done. The chilli con carne was swimming in water from the rice and turned up 5 minutes after the rest of the food. The mixed grill was substandard and I'm sure the chef took his insole out and called it gammon. Only one high chair was available. changing facilities only available in the female toilets. The most expensive meal from 4 different place we visited that week and was by far the worst. On a final note the presentation of the food was actually not bad I suppose that was to disguise the taste a little bit.

The service we received from the young girl was fantastic. Unfortunately the food was pretty average. Poor quality and the kids macaroni cheese was inedible.

Not alot of choice with the carvery, roast potatoes had loads of garlic on them which I don't like, no other potatoes at all, no notification that they had garlic on, so disappointed as made the whole dinner not nice, cramped eating area

Didn't have any food myself but the rest were enjoying a curry.

We managed to get a table for 5 for Sunday lunch which was a result as we hadn't booked food and service was very good and there's a room for the kids to play which come in handy and there's a nice garden area well worth a visit

Came away for week to caravan park just down the road ..and asked few fellow campers where to go out to eat .they recommend the plough and I must admit it did not disappoint..all food feashly made and delicious..lovely friendly pub and very welcoming. Kids also loved bouncy castle .thankyou for making our night out a lovely one ..will definitely be returning

On holiday in the area and just happened to find The Plough when searching on line for an eatery. What a lovely place it is to, lovely Sunday Carvery and friendly, delightfully attentive staff as well. The other good points are that it’s modern, spotlessly clean and fairly priced. Loved it!!

We visited the area again while on holiday, we stopped off here for lunch, and what a great lunch is was, food was great as was the service, plenty to do for the kids with games room and bouncy castle in the garden.

Two stars, one for the bouncy castle, one for the service. We ordered 3 children's meals, the portions are tiny for the price. The mashed potatoes are a sticky, gooey pile, from the freezer and heated in the microwave, bah, our kids couldn't eat them. We parents had the ratatouille, which only consisted of eggplant and zucchinis, with rice and a small salad, and this portion was also relatively small. Then we had the vegetarian chili, also a very manageable portion and cold too. The rice was hot, the chili felt like it came straight from the fridge. So I complained, when everyone else was finished, a replacement came, yeah, but I was happy too early, the rice wasn't cooked... At that point it didn't make sense to order a replacement, so I went back to the kitchen with it. The waitress apologized repeatedly and management didn't show up. I would have expected someone to come to our table and at least apologize or offer a coffee or something similar on the house, but apparently the managers are doing too well... It's a shame, because the location is excellent and the place is also attractively decorated. .

If you like unfriendly bar staff and disorganised waitresses + waiting over 40 minutes for an incorrect order, then you'll love this place

Great pub,great food. Excellent service. Happy customer.

Booked a table for 18:00. We finally got the food at 19:40! They poor waitresses were left to take the flack from customers rather than the manager explaining to people what the delay was. Dreadful Management who really let their staff down. Food was standard pub grub when it finally arrived.

Omi and Melody did an incredible job considering they were seemingly the only two people working there this evening. Incredibly unfair on the management and other staff to leave them high and dry to take care of all of the tables. All things considered, these two did an excellent job despite the rest of the staffs best efforts to make life a nightmare. They deserve much better support and I sincerely hope that they find it somewhere else.

Table booked for 6pm. At 6.50pm we were told another 20 min wait for food. Absolutely ridiculous.

Only friendly with their regular's

Great food great fast and friendly service and the outside area with inflatable helter-skelter and live singer was great. We loved it great for all the family.

Dined here Sunday, 3 had carvery & 3 had homemade lasagna, all enjoyed our meals. Very friendly service. Will def return the next time we’re local.

Food and drink watching euros in beer garden

The southern fried chicken is the best we have ever had!

Lovely staff. Lovely food. Great Gluten free main meals.

Nice surrounds more Importantly great food! We visit again!

The food couldn't be faulted in the slightest big portion sizes well worth the price and the food had incredible flavour and was cooked to perfection service was a little slow but all around amazing experience

We discovered The Plough Inn this week while looking for somewhere we could eat and drink that would also accommodate our large dog. The Plough Inn was very welcoming, there was a decent number of friendly people on both sides of the bar and the food was good. We returned to eat there again the following night.

Visited here on a weekend trip to Dymchurch. Came here for the carvery dinner, and was not disappointed. The portions were stacked high and the quality was locally sourced. Childrens portions were pretty much the same just on a smaller plate. The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond for help with a family member who is wheelchair bound. Fantastic all round.

Great roast! Large booking and we all were looked after really well 😁

Food portions sizes are really good and are good value for money. There is a kids play area. Dart and pool table is fun to play with family and friends

Have been wanting to visit The Plough for a while.Managed to visit recently and was very disappointed. The staff were very friendly but for quality it was very lacking. There were no serviettes available at all...The salad that was served was awash with tomato and little else.So really disappointed.

We love eating here - friendly staff and wide range of food to suit everyone’s tastebuds! Love the vegan options too.

Had an absolutely fantastic carvery for 2 last Sunday. Needed to have a seat near the window, to keep an eye on the dog in the car. The meats were superb, as was the vegetable selection. Stunning. Thanks to Becky and team for your great hospitality and my compliments to the chef. Back later in the year for a week - see you then!! 😋👍🏻👍🏻

Had Sunday carvery. Well cooked but tepid food served on cold plates. Was OK but recommend trying The Warren just up the road as far superior for same sort of money.

Lovely waitress who was running about all over the place. Food was below average and fairly expensive . Also a very long wait for food to arrive

Lovely pub, not very busy, food was delicious and we were served quickly. The pub garden would be great on a nice summers day...

Went for cavery and ot was excellent! Kudos to the chef

I came here on thursday with my son.The food was excellent I highly recommend the cod and chips the batter was beautiful.If I had one thing could have done with a little more sauce on the prawn cocktail but that was a personnel preference.My son had the sausage and leek pie he said his food was excellent to.The restaurant was lovely and clean and the staff were welcoming highly recommend a visit.Certainly going back.Thanks for a lovely afternoon Donna sorry its come up under my partners name but we are going to bring him andim sure he will enjoy it too

Staff was great really bubbly and well presented however the food was. Under cooked not great even saw a rat down in kitchen area. Was out with friends we was not happy with the locals they was loud swearing a lot and even at one point see them take cocaine in the toilets. Not a bit of me so we we left shame cos we heard good things about this place but will not b bk there. Anytime soon unless I’m a coke head

Sunday carvery is awesome! Really nice pub for sunday lunch, good portion sizes and very reasonably priced.

Just love this pub, Becky and Dean and the staff are always so welcoming. Have sampled the food a few times now including the carvery and it’s always spot on. Even tried the new chicken menu and just wow! They have regular live bands or singers on the weekends and it’s just the perfect place to go for any reason. If you haven’t been there already you need to go! You will not be disappointed

Absolutely fantastic carvery. Plenty of choice, piping hot and great service. Staff were extremely busy as it was Mother's Day. But stilall friendly and efficient. l

Big Thank-you to Becky Miller and all her staff for an amazing buffet done for us following the burial of our Dad. Can't thank Becky and her staff enough for what they did.

Arrived at the pub, friendly reception from bar staff when ordering drinks and informed had table booked for 3 people at 5.15pm. Waitress came and inform table was ready and showed us to our table. Staff very welcoming again and took order for food. We ordered the bbq ribs which was the worse I ever had so tough. Would not recommend having these. Really lovely atmosphere within the pub. Just will not eat here again.

One unfriendly bar person needs lesson on people skills and hospitality not the only one who feels like this. Sad really as everything else is really good

Food was good and friendly staff. Dog friendly.

We ate here just before Xmas and it was lovely.Our recent visit was just OK for the food.The staff were really helpful and friendly,lovely ladies.

We arrived on time for our meal. The table was near the door so when people came in you got a blast of cold air. Our table was in the pub area so lots of people coming in and out. Would have preferred another table in which we asked for but they were unable to move us. Three asked for the Carvery and one Lasagne and two children meals. We then had to wait for an hour for the food to arrive. The food was good and we enjoyed the meal. The carvery was very good meat tender and good choice of veg.

Brilliant pub, lovey and cosy, had a fantastic carvery

I took my father for a lunch time meal. All the staff were really welcoming and friendly. Nothing seemed too much trouble. This was the second visit for me and on both occasions I was really impressed with the efforts they made to cater for my vegan diet. Because of the service and the delicious quality of the food I am going to take my father again for a pre Christmas treat.

A very good Sunday roast. With apple crumble for pudding.

Incredibly steep steps to get in, more steps inside. Staff lovely. Very large portions. Lovely open fire.

Went in here with someone I support. We had meals each. He had a chilli and I had cheese burger loaded chips. Absolutely banging meals. edit* had the chilli loaded chips today, without a doubt, the best chilli I've ever eaten in a pub or restaurant.

First time ever in this place, the young lady behind the bar was amazing,

Went for Sunday lunch recently, the roast beef just melted!!! Possibly the best roast beef I've had in several years 👏👏👏

We had a really lovely carvery. We have visited a few times previously but the carvery was definitely nicer than it use to be. The meat was cooked perfectly and the roast potatoes were very tasty. Nice to enjoy a good carvery and really good Portions of meat. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the young lady’s who were waitressing. We ordered our drinks which were served promptly then she came back to take our order, we all had the carvery. She said she was going to get our tickets, we waited about 20 minutes for her to walk past us twice dealing with another 2 families. My husband asked for the tickets and she said she would go get them. It wasn’t very busy as only a few tables in use. When we asked for the bill, she came back with the bill, I asked to pay by card, she said she would get the card reader. She never returned. I waited about 10 minutes with no sign of anyone returning so I waited up by the till. The phone was ringing for a while and one young girl eventually returned and was on the call and giving me the card reader to pay at the same time . I think that a little tweak with the not forgetting bits and a bit better customer service and it would have been a really great place to go. Like I say it wasn’t busy so couldn’t probly understand if it as busy. I think people could just walk out and not pay if they were dishonest and not even go noticed. The two lady’s seemed quite young and maybe it needs a supervisor there to help and support them.

We love eating at the plough and have now been several times. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is freshly cooked and has good portion sizes for the main meals and platters. They have a lovely fire and we really enjoyed our last meal there which exceeded our expectations. My husband loves the food here, so this has now become our regular. 😀

We came for lunch on our way to stay at a holiday park. We arrived a few minutes before opening time and the door was already open. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The pub was very quiet. We all ordered a drink and chose from the extensive menu. We had 3 x baguettes and 2 all day breakfasts. The food was very good, good vfm and great quality. So glad we decided to stop here. Clean toilets and parking available . Definitely worth a visit if in the area.

We had already visited this Pub in the Summer & had a fantastic Meal, so yesterday (Sunday) we went back to try the Carvery & were not disappointed! Absolutely Beautiful & the Staff are so welcoming! Highly recommend this Pub if you are in the area!

Great atmosphere, incredible food! Good choice of beer and the owners and staff are amazing! This place is a must to visit if you’re in the area!

I booked a Table for 5 Friends & Myself for the Sunday Carvery and what a Feast it was. We arrive with our two little Dogs has well we eat in the Gin bar just right. We all went for the two meat option to be fair I don’t think I could have got through 3 meats it was Lovely plenty you don’t come out there saying Ian hungry that’s for sure . We had a sweat I don’t know how I got inside me. The staff were Cracking Highly recommend and will go back when we are down that way again. Thank you to all the staff for making us welcome and for a Great Sunday Dinner.

Stopped for their Sunday carvery. It was fantastic. Meat was cooked perfectly for me, vegetables there was a really good selection and was delicious. Wish it was nearer to where we lived. Price was spot onb

Great pub...lovely Harvey's beer and the fish pelie was great

This was recommended as a great place to eat. Our experience was anything but great, the servers were really rude, some of the food was only just warm, the ribs were not cooked, one meal returned as cold, can of coke just put on the table and told by the server they were to busy to pour from the pump. The prawn cocktail was good. No apologies until the manager was called to our table. She did take some items off our bill. Would not recommend.

There was a party of 12 of us. We all had a wonderful carvery. The food was great very filling. Table booked for 2pm carvery at 3pm only issue. Definitely recommend.

Food was fab. Table booked for 2pm. Got to eat at 3pm. Otherwise fab xxxx

Huge portions . Good veggie options . Recommended

The pub was so noisy with heavily alcohol intoxicated people who were regularly dropping splashes of there pints all over the floors.We couldn't properly enjoy a meal there due to this the meal was also lukewarm we will not be returning.

Was here for a Sunday carvery just gone, and wow! What can I say, the carvery was amazing and spot on! The veg was very soft and tasted very fresh. The roast potatoes and stuffing was very flavourful. The meat and Yorkies were perfect! My children loved the cauliflower cheese and we definitely will be back for another carvery soon!! The staff and food was amazing. The atmosphere is lovely, would definitely recommend.

Me and my wife came away to new Romney for the weekend and ended up having dinner 2 nights on the spin in the plough inn because it was that good! Both nights food was lovely to eat with unbelievably large portions, we have definitely put on weight just from this pub. All the food we were served was cooked well and nice and hot with plenty of choice aswell. The waitresses were really nice aswell as the bar staff . We were recommended this pub and I’m so glad we came ,if I ever come back to this area the first place I pop into will be the plough inn , excellent job by all there .

I have never left a Trip Advisor review before and am not really a complainer but I felt that the reviews of the Plough were not true of the experience we had on Sunday. We booked into the Plough for Sunday carvery as we were staying at the local caravan park. After reading the reviews we were looking forward to a nice lunch unfortuately we found the food to be inedible. The roast potatoes, carrots and brocolli were hard to the point you wouldn't cut them. We didn't try the beef as it looked dry and overcooked but the turkey and gammon were nice. The stuffing balls were so dry and powdery that they fell apart, into dust when you cut into them. Overall the only thing edible was turkey/gammon and the yorkshire puddings. We didn't bother staying for pudding and promised the kids an icecream back at the caravan site. We also felt that the £60 bill for 2 adults and 2 children was overpriced.

Excellent roast dinner, will be back for sure. Friendly staff too.

Just had a Beautiful Meal there today! Had the Scampi & Cheeseburger! Both were piping hot, beautifully presented & huge portions! We loved it! Definitely going back to try the Sunday Carvery! Highly recommend to Family & Friends!

This place has been updated recently with a bigger outside seating area in the directly sunlight. There is a local seafood bar too in the garden area. I always stop off when cycling past.

Lovely pub, sat inside but the garden makeover looks amazing..the food was delicious especially the sticky toffee pud..... just had a lovey family chill and catch up, thank you, will be back

Great service food was very good and the fresh made chips were amazing.

Good food, reasonably priced. We enjoyed the fish & chips and the lasagne.

Great family pub lovely food and atmosphere all staff was really friendly

We are staying locally, even though we live locally and decided we would try The Plough and we weren’t disappointed…. 2 of us had Cod, Peas and Chips, 1 Ham, Egg and Chips and a Child’s Lasagne and it was delicious. We didn’t have to wait long, presented well and definitely good value for money. Large portions, maybe to large as we could not manage pudding unfortunately. We certainly will be back to try your Sunday Roast. Thank you

very good service and excellent food

Great place for a roast carvery meal, we went on fathers day 2023 and£17 per adult 😋

Very quite on Tuesday but such great place for a drink

went into the plough inn nice pub staff fine drank the romnley pal ale lovey till the last time i went in there i don,t think it had been pulled off it trasted like vineger but a one off i enjoyed the pub

Saturday 10th June. Lovely bar garden, where we had our food in which was served by nice waitress. Food arrived & portion size for BBQ Ribs was massive, but my partner didn't complain. Overall Food, Service & Atmosphere was great.

Food was disgusting - couldn’t get through half of any of the dishes I ordered, everything tastes frozen and the squid was grim - food overpriced for what it is - only good thing was the friendly staff

We got recommended here by our friends, and I'm so glad we listened, the atmosphere was lovely, was so lovely to walk in to a pub with friendly staff, warm welcome the smell of the food was to die for, even spoke to the owners about their new bar garden which looks so good, the food aswell was exceptional! Was very busy but everything was no trouble, we will definitely be returning. And we will be recommending to everyone.

After visiting last year, we booked to come back here with the family whilst we are down on holiday. We had another lovely meal- the portion sizes are great and the food was fantastic. What made it extra special was the staff who took the time to make us feel greeted and made a real effort with the children. We will always visit when we are in the area!

This pub was recommended to us for the food but unfortunately we didn’t get that far, as we walked into the pub the atmosphere was very unwelcoming so we sat outside where a very nice man who worked for the owner was entertaining the children when one of the cliental opened the window and shouted and swore at him in front of the children so surface to say we left and the pub lost out on 6 meals

Great carvery! Perfectly cooked selection of meats, perfect roasties and yorkshire puds,wide range of vegetables and very good service 😋 highly recommend!

The food here is very mediocre, and to be honest the amount of 5 star reviews baffles me somewhat, it would be OK if it was cheap side but it was far from that, it all tasted frozen to me. I’m not sure about fresh,...

Very nice staff and carvery, with very good portions.

This pub is a fantastic mix of modern and traditional. Live music, football, and good food.

Good food, great staff and all for a small price. Will definitely go again.

I was staying at the Marlie holiday park which is down the road from The Plough pub. We came in here on our first evening for something to eat and a few drinks. I had the Lasagne which was very nice, my brother in law had the same and he was happy with his also. We enjoyed the food so much we booked a table for the carvery on the Sunday. On the sunday our table was ready at the arranged time and the carvery was delicious. The food and drink here are great, and the staff are excellent. We will be back in the area in a few weeks and will definitely be coming back to The Plough. Keep up the good work guys, see you soon
