Description
The Plough is a freehouse pub with very low beams and flagstone floor. Beers include Fullers London Pride and two guest beers. Good food and a seasonal menu [changed every three months]. Cosy atmosphere.
There is an outside front seating area and a recently refurbished beer garden at the rear. The attic rooms are two function/dining rooms on the first floor and are over 500 years old. One room is for 30 people and the other is a private dining room for 12.
Favourite pub pastime ... watch people bang their heads on the low ceiling .. and then do it yourself!

How to get there
By car
Rusper is approximately 5-6 miles north of Horsham. It's not on a main road but you can get there on country lanes from the Capel A24 roundabout.
Cycling
Take Rusper road past Littlehaven station. After the station, straight ahead at next roundabout to the A264 north bypass. Straight over the bypass
roundabout [can be busy]. Follow this road up a steep hill [it's all downhill on the way back] for 2.8 miles [4.5 km] to Rusper itself. At the T-junction next to the Star pub turn left and the Plough is 100m on the right opposite the church [why is there a pub always opposite a church?!]
PS If you want, you can stop at the Star as well.
Suggested cycling routes from here
Explore the small, quiet country lanes between Horsham and Dorking. Try the Six Bells at Newdigate on the way to Brockham, which has a typical village green atmosphere. Not many hills .... ideal for that Sunday afternoon cycle ride.
Other pubs near here

Had a lovely meal on Saturday. The pub had just started a new menu and the Morrocan chicken was beautiful. Staff really friendly, lovely old oak pub with big garden for the summer. Will be back on my bicycle.

Booked lunch by by phone for daughter's birthday and requested a table with no steps as there was a disabled person in our party. When we arrived we were given a table up two high steps. The lady was unapologetic and unhelpful. Would not attempt to eat here again. Very disappointing!

Visited the Plough in Rusper today. Had an edible but rather dry and tastless meal. However my main complaint was a safety issue. We ate upstairs and when we came downstairs my cousin caught her foot in an electric extension cable which was stretched across the top of the stairs from a little room at the top down to the bar. Very dangerous, she was lucky she didn't fall all the way down. I mentioned it to the lady at the bar but she made no reply and did not go upstairs to remove the lead while we were there. A health and safety issue if ever there was one!

Had a lovely meal here Saturday night and what a lovely friendly pub. Always pass it so pleased we actually ventured in.

Went to this pub as we were passing as it looked inviting. We received a frosty welcome when we asked to see the menu before sitting down. We asked for a table and were just pointed to a table. The same person served us and never said a word even when she brought the food. The food was okay but expensive to have (what seemed like) oven chips served with your steak. On the good side, another lady served us with dessert and was most polite. However, overall, we will not return.
