We booked a table for a Wednesday lunchtime, The Plough was moderately busy, a sign of a successful business. 3 of us ordered the Steak and Ale Pie, and my wife the shredded aromatic duck salad, we found the food to be tasty and the size of the portions about right. Service was friendly and relatively quick, and the price of the meals about right-what you expect to pay in Surrey. Recommended.

Hello Andrew for your great review, the duck salad is a firm favourite at the moment with the sunny weather! Hope to see you back again soon.

Food was nice enough. Staff had no idea what they were doing. Chefs were great and ended up bringing food out.

Thanks Olivia for your feedback, we're sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience, we were unexpectedly busy and the staff were caught off guard, we will feed this back to the front of house team though and make sure next time we are prepared!

The sunshine helped of course, but we had a lovely lunch-time experience at the Plough at Effingham. It has been newly refurbished inside, with a smart ladies loo, including Bramley soap and hand lotion. There is new wooden furniture at the front and the back garden is calm and sunny with trees and shrubs. I understand that cushions will soon be supplied for the seats. The food was fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and we felt very welcome and relaxed.

Thank you, Sonia, for your review and glowing report on the toilets and soap — we aim to please! We’re delighted that we can finally use the garden and hope the sunshine is here to stay so we can continue enjoying the new garden furniture (with cushions) and the sunny space. Hopefully, we’ll see you back in the garden soon.

Very disappointing. We have been visiting the Plough for years and the lunchtime menu has always been suitable and well priced. Prices have gone up by about 30-50% and just not enough choice at a decent lunchtime price. There was very few people in the pub or the garden whereas before it has always been buzzing. It was very noisy though. The staff were very helpful and pleasant!
Plough - EffinghamResponded on May 2, 2025
Hello Phyl, I'm sorry to read that your recent visit to the plough was disappointing, we have a whole new menu and if anything the choice has increased and its shame you don't agree. Prices have increased across the whole hospitality industry and we are matched with the area and try to be inline with other pubs in the area. We will feedback on the noise as this is not ideal when you want to enjoy a meal with friends. Thanks again for feeding back on your recent visit. Regards Sara

We were 5 people and 3 meals were good. Beef and ale pie was lovely and the duck salad quite nice. 2 meals, both chicken schnitzel, were very over cooked, very dark bread crumbs and very dry. Chips also not so nice. Ambience was very nice and I believe that there has been renovations, which looked lovely. The service was a little slow and a little abrupt at times. Although we are a friendly bunch.
Plough - EffinghamResponded on April 25, 2025
Hello Marie, Thank you for your feedback, we take all reviews seriously and appreciate your detailed comments. Sorry to hear the schnitzel was overcooked, this is one of our more popular dishes so we need to get it right ! Thanks again Marie for your review. Regards Sara
