If you fancy a little bit of exercise the Plough Inn is only 30 minutes or so walk from Brighton Marina, along the under-cliff walk. So not far to go if you want to stretch those legs and get out of the busy city and visit one of the prettiest villages and pubs in Sussex.

The Plough Inn Rottingdean – Home Cooked Food

The Plough serves home-cooked lunch and dinner daily, 12-9pm Monday-Saturday, and roasts until late on Sunday, 12-7pm. Brighton chef, Phil Bartley, created the menu at The Plough Inn to showcase a selection of modern pub classics. Their famous Deli Boards, which use locally sourced cheeses and cured meats, are a particular favourite. The ‘Bartley Roasts’ are popular and booking is advisable, especially at weekends when this East Sussex country pub draws a hungry crowd. With a private function room on the first floor, The Plough Inn Rottingdean is also available for private bookings and events.

    Great little sleepy pub nestled at the side of the village pond. Love it! Full of character, home cooked classic dishes. A great walk to the Sussex countryside.
