The Tally ho in Lewes

Super friendly helpful staff. Couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome with small well behaved dog....well until the dog tipped the water bowl. Thanks for being so lovely

Having had a walk round town to find a fish & chip shop we passed the old plough with lots of people sitting outside & it looked really inviting. A welcoming staff member taking glasses back in let us go ahead of us & saw I was looking at the board informed me they do have a kids menu. As the menu had fish & chips most of us went for it & when ordering the bar lady was really patient as we had to return to the table to ask a question. She was lovely with my youngest too when she ordered her drink. The meals were beautifully cooked the fish said hand battered & it was so crisp & light & the chips were crisp & fluffy inside. The bar lady didn’t need to be asked to bring my youngests dessert as that was included in the kids deal. We had actually forgot so her attentiveness to our service was very good. I often think it’s hard for waiting staff to get a balance of checking on patrons to be approachable/present without disturbing them. All the staff were really friendly & able to help us as when needed it. We will definitely return to the old plough as the menu looked quite wide usual pub fayre but our last meals were anything to go by we’re sure the rest of the menu will be of the same standard. Thanks to the staff for a lovely meal & lovely service.

A little cold and empty but I know it's a great little pub when busy.

Service was friendly enough and luckily plenty of room for all 8 in my group to sit. However, there was flies everywhere which made it a fairly unpleasant experience. There was also a dead fly in my son's beans. When I took it back, they found more dead flies in the beans 🤢. Disappointed by only 3 choices on the menu, Also, no mention of allergies/what was in the pies. If I had known there was mushrooms in the pie I would not have ordered it.

Staff were friendly but we waited 40 minutes for sandwiches. I was told that they had lost our order due to a technical issue. When the food arrived it was mediocre and not worth the wait. As an apology they offered a free drink; when I requested a drink for each of us I was told that it was one drink between four of us, so clearly not really an apology at all. We were also absolutely freezing by the time our food came despite having winter coats on because the heaters weren't working. Again, I was told this was due to a technical issue.
