Directions

You want to visit - You have this in

The Plough Inn is a picturesque pub situated by the pond in the village of Rottingdean. It is part of the Golden Lion Group and a substantial refurbishment was undertaken in late 2009 which considerably improved the standards of the facilities and helped to create a village local with a vibrant atmosphere. The pub has a good reputation for its homecooked food. Offering a classic pub menu along with a innovative Gastro Menu this venue caters for all tastes Weekends especially, get very busy so booking is always advisable. There is also a first floor function room which can cater for parties, meetings etc.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Attractive 1930s pub, with the original layout discernible, although the pub has been opened up.  Note linenfold panelling on the bar counter, bar back, and at the top of the extensive wall panelling.  1930s doors and beamed ceiling are amongst the other fittings.

 A large, attractive 1930s pub whose interior is of three distinctive parts: bars to the left and right separated by a wall with a double-width sized gap (was single size as proven by floor markings) and a separate room (was function room) at the rear now opened-up. A lot of good inter-war fittings remain. The walls have attractive panelling with a linenfold pattern section at the top The counter has linenfold patterning too. The back fitting faces two ways and also has linenfold pattern sections. The small brick fireplace at the rear left seems interwar but was moved from its original position, as evidenced by the chimney breast now panelled over (check the alignment outside!) possibly with panels from the stripped bare section. There is a modern fireplace on the right. A third room/area (formerly a function room) can be found through a wide gap on the rear right. 1930s doors throughout.
