Fantastic. Mel ensured my birthday trip to the Plough was extra special. I had roast potatoes and vegetables which was more than sufficient for me. All food was well cooked and hot.

We was in the area house-hunting and decided (as we found a property) we would check out all the area. Came across the Plough as its only a 10 min walk from the house we will be buying so hoping it would be good, as it would be a local for us. We have 2 dogs an English Bulldog & a Frenchie who were with us, my wife went in first to ask are dogs allowed (the dogs go everywhere with us) BONUS a dog friendly bar. Pub wad quiet as it was only around 12 in afternoon. Chap behind bar was really nice, friendly and accommodating. Asked did dogs need water then after we told him why we in area he explained what the pub puts on, Sports, Bands, Quiz nights. Its a proper old school local and ticked all the boxes. Looking forward to the move and coming here on a regular basis with the doggies. I seen a few comments about non locals coming here and felt unwelcome ?? Am a Northerner i didn't get that vibe whatsoever must be another Plough in the area they went to ????

Great 3 course Christmas meal, better than other overpriced places. Highly recommended and I would definitely go back again.

Came in for the Sunday roast and it was absolutely delicious. Food was freshly cooked, served quickly and with friendly service. Very generous portion sizes. I would recommend to anyone. We'll be back again soon.

Fantastic local. Clean, friendly, good food, reasonably priced, good staff, good selection of beers, welcoming atmosphere / regulars. Not much else you could ask for from a pub. Brilliant.

Found this lovely pub whilst staying near by the end of September. The staff are all very welcoming, can't do enough for you. Good homemade food and the roast was so good that we decided to come back for another long weekend near by and enjoy one of the best roasts we've had out in a long time. Will be coming back again

What a great pub! Came yesterday as we were staying locally and what a treat. Originally popping in for 1 but when we found they had Harvey’s that started a very nice afternoon. We ordered food which was very very filling and very reasonably priced for the size portions (would recommend) They even gave the dogs an ice cream which was greatly enjoyed. All in all a very nice afternoon at a friendly well priced pub. Thank you!

We had an amazing Sunday lunch. We were not locals, and had read some posts about not feeling welcome. We felt very welcome indeed. Dinner was delicious and our desserts were excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive.

Lovely place to come and loved the recent event. There was some trouble with a really stupid inconciderate man but the people behind the bar were very quick to sort it out after I had mentioned it. Very professionally run and happy to go back more and more.
Turned up ( four of us) for lunch," not doing cooked food" " got a function on soon" came the rude words from the chap behind the bar.Two days before this, I tried to book only to be told, "you don't have to ". Not a sign of a apology. The Wheatsheaf is just up the road.

Met up with an old friend for drinks and chat. Have to say the service is excellent. Garden at rear is well kept and shuts out road noise making it perfect for conversation. I think if I had any specific improvement,it would be to have a ramp in the garden for mobility users. Definitely will visit again.Parking: Classic large front of venue flat parking

Went for Sunday lunch . Despite the unlucky result with the football . Couldnt fault the food or service. Very helpful staff , we had our dogs with us and couldnt eat with them in the normal place as it was full of football fans . So they allowed us to eat in main resturant area with them . Meals were all well cooked and presented .

We stopped here for something to eat not actually knowing much about the pub! We were not disappointed! We were a group of 4 adults, 3 of which happily had the pie and mash, which, I am told, was delicious. I opted for the burger, which was lovely. Will definitely return when we are next on a little outing from Folkestone ?

Re. the review left by Kim K in July 2023 and the reply from the owner, to which Kim K is not able to reply to. I was there and can 100% verify this is an unwelcoming pub if you’re not ‘a local’ / your face doesn’t fit. First off rather than the review being strange (as stated by the owner) I find it very odd the owner seems to be able to identify precisely who left the review and the day of the visit, even though there is no date of the visit given. How did you manage to do that? Surely we weren’t the only people who sat in the garden in the month of July? Or could it be we weren’t the usual type you expect in the Plough? Secondly, there were multiple people staring and behaving in a hostile unwelcoming manner - pretty much in keeping with previous reviews stating ‘no longer a friendly local’ and ‘such an unwelcoming pub with locals dominating the pub and look at you as if to say how dare you walk through the door’. The first observation when entering the pub was the woman serving behind the bar two metres directly in front of us raising the back of her hand to cover her mouth and leaning over to the man serving to make a comment, all done while both of them were looking directly at our young family group. We all know that’s what people do when they want to hide what they are saying - why would they need to do that I wonder? I’m more used to a friendly bar greeting customers with a smile rather than feel the need to conceal their mouths to make comments about people entering the premises. The fact this was the least diverse group of people you could possibly imagine in a bar in multi cultural England in the 21st century probably hints at the nature of the comment. Perhaps the owner will be able to assist in deciphering what that comment was by reviewing the CCTV footage again? Now obviously the owner has a reputation for not receiving honest feedback well so I’ll be expecting the familiar denial and refusal to accept there may be a problem welcoming customers who are not ‘a local’ or ‘faces don’t fit’. To any other unsuspecting customers who want to avoid an experience like this, I’d recommend you assess what side of the cast you’d be on in Mississippi Burning before subjecting yourself to this type of experience.
