The Plough Inn
We're very lucky at the Plough Inn to have an enviable spot right by the village pond & green in the beautiful seaside village of Rottingdean. The pub dates back to the 1840s, and some of the original flint walls are still intact from that time. The impressive brick building is home to a popular and vibrant village pub with a great reputation for both food and drink.

Step inside and you'll find not only a cosy traditional pub, complete with oak beams and wood panelling, but also a warm welcome and friendly service. We are child and dog friendly too! Our function room upstairs is a popular choice for events up to 50 people and has a private bar and facilities. The room is tastefully decorated and perfect for any celebration from a children's party to a christening to a business meeting.

We had a meal there and the main meal was very good however the dessert was not so good as the Menu was miss leading the artisan cheese did not say how many and the crumble did not come with two scoops of ice cream as expected the staff were helpful and as a result we were given a discount which was appreciated the whole experience was good but perhaps the menu should be clearer

I love this place. It's a full on pub with great food and service. The quirky pics on the wall gives it a sense of whimsy that works with the centuries old architecture. Fantastic!

Had no reservation but found a table that did not have a reservation notice. Sat down, ordered menus, pleasant young lady took our drink and meal orders and settled down to receive our grub. 5 mins later was greeted by a gentleman stating "you havn't reserved, we have no food left, and this table is reserved. Wow didn't seem at all sorry, can't say we would go back again. It was one table that didn't have a reserved notice on it! Shame as just moved into the area and we would have been good customers! Went to the White horse which was top notch and much cheaper anyhows!

Comfortable, traditional pub in an attractive setting in the Rottingdean district of Brighton. Real ale, decent food, small area of outside seating (part of it covered).

Had a wonderful roast dinner at the Plough. The staff were really friendly, even helping us get a taxi in the evening. The food was great. Best cauli cheese I’ve had in a long time.

Lovely pub in idyllic setting.
Easy to book. Friendly staff, who give fantastic gin suggestions. Prompt service, the food is well presented and more importantly delicious.
Definitely going back.

Totally hated the miserable tart who served us over the May Bank Holiday. As you can see from my photos the place had several tables free however the said miserable tart kept telling us the tables were reserved. We would of gladly moved once the people had turned up I’m sure the food is great here but staff really make the fun and enjoyment. Will not be suggesting or recommending this to any one
