At a glance
The Plough Inn is a pub and dining venue on Vicarage Lane in Rottingdean, within Brighton and Hove. Its offer centres on food, drinks and a relaxed inn setting, with a separate function room for organised gatherings. The venue suits casual meals, drinks and occasions that need a dedicated indoor space.
Dining is available across the main part of the week, with food served from midday until the evening on Monday to Saturday and through the afternoon and early evening on Sunday. The drinks side remains open later than the kitchen, giving the venue a straightforward pub format for meals followed by drinks or for a shorter visit focused on refreshments.
The Plough Inn also presents a Christmas offering, making the venue relevant for seasonal meals and festive gatherings. The function room adds flexibility for group occasions, while the standard dining space provides the setting for smaller bookings and everyday visits. Larger parties need advance contact with the venue, as tables for more than eight guests are handled by telephone or email rather than through a standard table booking.
Located in Rottingdean, the inn offers a village setting within easy reach of Brighton. The Vicarage Lane address places it away from the central city restaurant scene, with the character of a local pub and the practical facilities of a venue that accommodates dining, drinks and functions. The format works for residents and visitors looking for an uncomplicated place to eat, meet or arrange a group occasion.
Opening hours run from midday into the evening on Monday to Saturday, with a slightly earlier close on Sunday. Food service finishes earlier each day, so anyone planning a meal should check the relevant kitchen hours when arranging a visit. Table reservations, larger group enquiries and function-room arrangements can be made through the venue directly.
