Plough Inn, Rottingdean

Large 1930s pub with an attractive exterior of brick and gabled frontage. The interior is of three distinctive parts - bars to the left and right separated by a wall with a double width sized gap (was single size as proven by floor makings) in it and a separate room (was function room) at the rear now opened-up. A lot of good inter-war fittings remain.

The interior has walls of attractive interwar carved fielded panelling with a linenfold pattern section at the top - only a couple of sections of wall are not covered - and there is a beamed ceiling. The bar counter is of a distinctive style being canted and with linenfold pattern panels on it. The bar back faces two ways and has linenfold pattern sections. Small brick fireplace at the rear left looks to be inter-war but was moved from original position, as evidenced by the chinmey breast now panelled over (check the alignment outside!) possibly with panels from the stripped bare section. There is a modern fireplace on the right. There is a third room / area through a wide gap on the rear right (was function room). 1930 doors throughout. Toilets modernised.
