The Plough Inn in Shepway

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Huge portions . Good veggie options . Recommended

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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

Very bad. To flee. Vegetarian burger with bread and a steak, no sauce, no cheese. Soup of the day full of salt….

Staff were excellent as was the meal a bit disappointed that there was no cask ale on at the time of our visit

Nice roast shame about the potatoes for me ready made are a no no

Amazing place to eat . Service and food absolutely brilliant and not at all expensive . Nothing was too much trouble . Lauren? The young lady serving was so pleasant. Couldn't fault anything . Definitely recommend .

Friendly service, carvery very good value for money plenty to choose from. Children well catered for and veggie and vegan options available. Enjoyed our Easter Sunday dinner with family.

We spent the day at our daughters who live in Lydd & she treated us to the plough Inn which I can recommend,staff very friendly & lovely food very nice & plenty to choose from.

Very popular place with very good food and friendly helpful staff. A varied menu for all and a good children's menu. We'll worth a visit. The Sunday carvery is well worth the money and one of the best I have had.

We popped in to grab some lunch, 3 adults and young child, very warm welcome from staff, and shown to a table, drinks order taken. Menu had good veggie/vegan choice for me, and scampi and chips for my wife and daughter, grandkid had chicken nuggets...

Lovely food good service too will deffo be back

Lovely pub, great food and drinks, family friendly.

Very busy, just popped in for a pint whilst out on a walk. Staff were friendly.

I’ve been wanting to try this pub/restaurant out for a couple of years now. Finally booked us up for Easter Sunday lunch. I was very happy when we entered the pub to find out they do a carvery each Sunday. I had the adult size,...

Good food, nicely presented. Very pleasant staff

A lovely meal and excellent service. Food was a very good quality. A good choice of pub classic dishes.

Great atmosphere, local beer and great lasagne.

brilliant little pub. Big enough to be very busy but small enough to still care about every customer. very friendly staff. a good selection of beers and amazing food (the carvery is to die for). I would reccomend booking for food at weekends though as they get very busy.

Lovely carvery.. lovey staff.. Will return..

Friendly and very helpful staff. Great food, great prices!

Excellent carvery also, when ordering the very good fish pie, you can select vegetables of your choice from the carvery with it, which is a good idea. Good range of draught beers including a couple of real ales. Friendly, cheerful staff. It can get busy Sundays so might be better to book if there are a few of you.

My Wife and I met 15 friends for lunch at the Plough and not one of us could find a fault. Our food was delicious and portion sizes were very generous. My Wife, who is coeliac, can not eat anything containing wheat, oats or gluten, but the waitress who took our orders was knowledgeable about what she could have and what to avoid. On a couple of occasions, when our waitress did not know how to answer a question, she went back to the kitchen, to find out. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she remained happy and friendly and even told us that they were starting up a deep fat fryer, specifically for my Wife's food, to avoid cross contamination. This restaurant has set the bar very high and I wish others would just try to look after customers this way. After the main meal, the waitress made up a dessert just for my Wife and even made bananas in custard for one of our friends, although it wasn't on the menu! A fantastic experience today, which means we will be heading back to the Plough just as soon as we can! Thank you to everyone there, for a brilliant lunch.

Lovely meal last night with my family- the service was excellent and the food was lovely- I had hunters chicken and tequila strawberry dessert-, will definitely be going again

Went to the plough last night for a family meal the food is really tasty and the service was really friendly and the atmosphere was lovely too would definitely recommend it 😊

Had Sunday lunch, carvery very good. Service was first class.

Good food with friendly staff and appeared clean. Good car park .

This has become one of my favourite lunchtime "go to" spots. Friendly staff. Really nice food. Great gluten free options.

Lovely warm welcome. Food was good service was excellent all served by Sue who could not do enough. Will definitely visit again.

Fantastic meal & friendly staff

Lovely, friendly place, food was delicious, the only complaint is the plates were not big enough for the amount of food, 😂, very reasonably priced, lovely lady who served drinks and food. Will be coming back.

The four of us went for lunch today ahead of our trip on the Santa Special from New Romney Station. We were pressed for time but the staff were so good and got our order sorted out in good time despite it being really busy....

Lovley staff and food -spot on. Homely and affordable. Wine was lovely and room temperature just right Will definitely return

Pleasant but otherwise unmemorable pub. Had a pint of perfectly acceptable ale.

Very good food and very friendly

Great pub and staff. Beer is always good as is the food.

Great atmosphere, food fantastic. Very friendly Staff. Our waitress Georgia very attentive. Well done all of you. will visit again.

Would like to thank the staff in The plough for such a lovely meal! The food was absolutely delicious and very good value for money! Nothing was to much trouble for our waitress, as there was 12 of us she did an amazing job! I would highly recommend eating here! Thank you so much 😊 x
