Nestled in the foothills of the Surrey Hills, The Plough Effingham is a beloved local pub and a cornerstone of the local food scene for decades. With its rustic charm, warm atmosphere and massive orchard beer garden, it's not just a gastropub—it's a gathering place. From casual pints with friends to community celebrations. Join us for a taste of local camaraderie at The Plough Effingham, the heart of our community.

The Custodians

Step into The Plough Effingham and meet Ewa and George, the dynamic duo behind the bar and kitchen. Celebrating two decades together, they bring a unique blend of international flair – George from Australia, Ewa from Poland. Formerly managers with Young's, they charmed patrons at the Nightingale in Balham (amongst others). Now, as passionate tenants, they've made The Plough a warm haven, weaving the stories of the community into every dish and pint.
