Bletchingley Arms, Bletchingley

Vast pub on two levels off the main A25 at the east end of the village. Formerly the Plough, the name was changed in January 2015 when the pub was sold by Chef & Brewer to Baron Pubs, a small local pub chain. Food is served all day from midday from an extensive menu until 10.30 (9:30 Sunday) and there is a children's menu. There are several distinct areas, not all of which are obvious at first sight. Wander round a corner and there are another half dozen tables, then around another corner and there are more tables and there is an inglenook with a woodburning stove. Most of the pub is carpeted, while the area to the front and side of the bar is laid out in floorboards. The beer garden, which also has its own bar, is also on a large scale and set out in two sections. The upper area is more of a patio while the lower one is grassed over and provides scintillating views of the extensive car park. There is also a large lit and heated umbrella for smokers. Live music is performed on the last Friday of the month.
