The Plough and Furrow Inn, Smallfield

Pint of Stella and a glass of wine £9.60!!!

I nearly spat my pint out when she told me the price!

Not the same feel as before and seemed dead compared to how it used to be.

The Plough and Furrow Inn, Smallfield

UNDER NEW MANGEMENT
The Plough & Furrow has recently re-opened, and to say I am disappointed would be a colossal understatement.
You either need to have no children or personality to be allowed into the secret club. I’ve heard that they are trying to turn the once nicely run family village pub into a venue that is normally found in Chelsea! They have also managed to botch this up; the once nice granite bar has been replaced with plywood.
The village pub characteristics of TV’s, games machines, themed nights and children’s play area have all been removed. They have been replaced by lovely looking clocked wallpaper. I fear the only thing the loyal long serving punters will be looking at is the wallpaper while they wait to get served a pint! The cowboy bar was left unattended for 5 mins before I was served my one and only warm pint of Fosters.
I had a brief look at the menu and all though pretty to look at the £18 charge for a burger caught my eye. I opted to leave that one.
Although my children have grown up, I have been advised that any child entering the pub would need to be vetted, gagged and sat in the corner unable to move unless given the nod of approval from the sergeant from behind the bar. The village pub has gone and the Police station has opened!
I would stay away from this want to be wine bar unless you have a personality disorder or enjoy sitting in silence staring at the clock.
Feeling aggrieved
