The Plough is a country pub, restaurant and rooms just outside Rye, with a beer garden offering picturesque views of the Brede valley. Our food offer is pub classics made incredibly as well as creative cooking, whilst being ingredient led. We primarily use British produce and work with local suppliers to ensure we always source the very best ingredients we can get our hands on. Inside we have a warm atmosphere with log fires and friendly service.

The Plough delights with "excellent food," a welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service. Known for its "outstanding Sunday roasts" and delicious pies, this cozy pub offers inventive vegetarian options and "lovely beer garden views." While service can be slow, the charm and quality more than compensate. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience.

    The Plough has become our favourite restaurant since we moved to the area back in the summer of 2022. The food is amazing, and it’s so nice to see that they make a real effort to come up with very imaginative vegetarian and vegan dishes. Service is efficient and friendly, and dogs are always welcome, which is hugely important to us.

    Have been to The Plough before and once again was not disappointed. An early (18.30) Monday evening dinner for two and The Plough was surprisingly busy but service was prompt and friendly. An interesting and varied menu at reasonable prices, well presented and delicious.
