Having had a glorious meal at this fair establishment with 3 friends washed down with hearty ales my luncheon companions and I went home truly satisfied. However, upon learning of the brewery's treatment of their hard working guest chefs there is a foul taste in the mouth that lingers and will continue to linger until said chefs are paid for bringing their skill, passion and pride to a workplace that clearly doesn't honour or respect them. By cheating the staff they are also cheating the customers who want to see those who provide their good experiences rewarded, not stolen by unscrupulous management on the take. I'll be telling my friends and local business owners to avoid. That sicky taste is still in my mouth.

Beer is cracking (although I do question the high price a pint considering the brewery is walking distance away!) Nonetheless, remains one of my favourite ales. The food however has nosedived since we last visited a few months ago. They used to offer really good toasted sandwiches, fish fingers, chicken and bacon etc with chips, which nice and pretty reasonably priced. I was disappointed to see these gone from the menu and instead, plain Sandwiches offered (which I think are around the same price, cost cutting maybe?) Anyway, my wife has the salmon and cheese Sandwich and I had a steak pie. The steak pie, brought in and not made on site, was one of the worst I have ever had, all pastry and sauce, spot the meat. My wife's sandwich has the cheapest looking sliced bread going. Apparently it's from a local bakers...if it was, it's a crap bakers. All in all, food not as good as it was, bring back the toasted sandwiches/baguettes as they were SO much better. Won't eat here again if that menu and the quality remains the same. Good place for a pint still.

Used to go often but haven't been for about a year. I can hardly believe how far it has declined. They used to do really good food - the squid with fries, really great fries, was my favourite. Went on a Saturday evening when a wedding party was on upstairs so it was busy. But there's no excuse for the quite dreadful food. Staff were friendly and the service was fine but the food was awful. I had scampi and chips and my friends had cod and chips. The food was barely warm, served on cold plates. Scampi tasteless and mushy, chunky chips about the worst I have ever eaten. Tepid, mushy and tasteless. I dislike chunky chips at the best of times but these were beyond awful. A smudge of tartare sauce, not nearly enough, and clearly out of a bottle. The peas were ok - how hard is it to mess up peas? I asked if they only did chunky chips and was told yes, and that many others had complained. To cap it all, the place looked neglected and grimy and long overdue for a facelift. The mens toilet was disgraceful, so bad I used the disabled toilet instead. The beer, of course, was great. But I can get Harvey's anywhere around here. This is Harvey's flagship pub, right opposite the brewery, so it baffles me that they have allowed this to happen. Come on, Harveys, get shot of the chef for starters. He clearly doesn't care what rubbish he puts out. Sadly I won't be returning until this place is under new management.

Fantastic to be able to buy a pint from freshly tapped barrels kept behind the bar. A little frustrating that the brewery tap itself charges more for Harvey's than other pubs in town but it's a great place all the same.

Great pub I assume the brewery tap for Harveys brewery. A great range of their beers available on draught . Lovely old world atmosphere just off the unspoilt High street in Lewes. Will have the food next time but was seduced by warm pork scratchings. These helped work up a Thurs for the second and third pint. It was quiet, went there early Thursday night , I can't believe it wont get busy

Came in for dinner with friends after finding out they have a new manager and headchef, had been previously but the food quality was hit and miss. Came back to a lovely vibe, all bar staff very bubbly and easy to talk to. Had the fish and chips alongside some other things! It was probably the best fish and chips in lewes. Fish was cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend! Can’t wait to visit again soon!

This was our first trip into Lewes & being unfamiliar with the area we decided to go by some google recommendations & found this pub was highly rated. I honestly do not know how. We should have known from the moment we ordered as the greeting was far from welcoming, the man behind the bar made it perfectly clear he didn’t want to be there, in fact at one moment he let out some lovely expletives just because the phone was ringing! He did not even bother to tell me how much our order came to & proceeded to just point the card machine in my direction. I let this slide, working in retail my entire life I know what it is to have a bad day but I’m afraid it went from bad to worse. We waited nearly an hour for our food to arrive, a problem that was obviously wide spread as I heard another customer questioning where their food was. When it finally did arrive to say we were disappointed is a total understatement. I ordered Gammon…well this pub is clearly not aware that packed, processed ham is not the same as gammon because that is what turned up on my plate. I’m not exaggerating when I say the ham I currently have in my fridge at home from my local supermarket is better quality. As for the Vegan Lasagne, I have never seen a more crispy, dried out cube placed on a dinner plate…not forgetting the stale, cold ciabatta with some lurpack garlic butter spread over it as an accompaniment. I have always resisted leaving reviews such as this because I am aware every place can have a bad day but this was one of the worst pub/food experiences of my life & I’m afraid I wouldn’t want anyone else’s trip into Lewes to be spoilt by a trip to this pub.

A lovely quaint pub next to the river. A pleasant atmosphere, really friendly and welcoming team of staff, and the Sunday Roast - I had the minted lamb - was delicious. A generous portion, with plenty of veg and just the right amount of gravy. I say at a small table outside, and the sun shone down on us. I enjoyed my visit here and trust you shall too. 5 stars for the food and the service. A high 4 for the atmosphere. Overall, easily 5 stars.

Please change your food times on your website, to avoid disappointing visiting customers. I'd made a special trip to eat there and sample Harvey's excellent beers as the kitchen is advertised as open until 9, but on a Friday evening before 8:30 the kitchen was shut! So a walk was needed to other pubs selling Harvey's and food elsewhere

We were a party of 5 people and we pre booked selecting from the Christmas menu so the restaurant knew our order in advance. The front of house got the date of the booking wrong twice and we had twice to give our pre-orders. No- one had ordered a starter. Nonetheless we then had to wait at least 40 minutes for the main course to arrive. When it did, two of the advertised items from the Christmas dinner, pigs in blankets and stuffing, didn’t appear. The standard of the meal was about what you’d expect from from one of the budget carveries, everything smothered in a thick gravy. As the plates were being cleared, I asked the waiter if our desserts would be long, explaining that we were under time pressure, and he replied that they were then being plated up. After a further twenty minutes I asked a member of staff what was happening with them and said that we’d been told that they were almost ready twenty minutes ago. I added that we’d been sat for ninety minutes and so far received one course, despite the kitchen knowing our order in advance, and I felt this wasn’t good enough. After some minutes he reappeared and said that they had just started to prepare them, which typified the muddle and confusion we’d experienced. At this point we expressed our dissatisfaction and said that we’d have to forgo the dessert due to time constraints. It was agreed that we would pay for drinks and mains, but at no stage were we offered any reduction or comping. Upon examining the bill it appeared that we’d been overcharged for the mains but we were told that the price given for the mains was in error and that we’d been charged a higher price than appeared on the bill. No apology for this error on their part was given, nor indeed for any of the muddle or non- appearance of listed menu items.

After visiting Lewes Castle we were a bit peckish so walked down the high street and found the John Harvey Tavern. It's sort of hidden away on a side street, but we're glad we found it. My husband had wanted to try some of the Harvey beers, so this was perfect for him. We ordered sandwiches - a pork sausage sandwich for him and a falafel and halloumi sandwich for me. Both were enormous and came with a generous serving of chips. Great value for money!

What happened to this place? Food use to be great the super generous portions. Today we waited 40 minutes for our food, and the wait really wasn’t worth it. Uncooked chips, very measly portions and hugely overpriced, bill came to £140 for 6 adults. They even forgot my sisters order of bangers and mash so we had to wait for that to arrive which eventually was also rank. Give this place a miss.

Visited the John Harvey Tavern on Thursday. As it is regarded as the Brewery Tap, it was no surprise that the beer was top notch. A pint of Olympia was excellent, so I thought the food must be good. So quickly ordered a steak and ale pie and another pint, this time of Armada. The food was excellent, too. Good chunks of beef in the tasty pie. Again, this pint was also top-notch. Therefore, rather than mess around finding somewhere to eat a few days later for Sunday lunch, I thought I must book the JH Tavern there and then to have a Sunday roast. Just eaten it. So pleased. It was wonderful. Excellent beer again. Good portions of meat and veg. The beef was well cooked, slightly pink, and good-sized slices. The roasties, broccoli, carrots and other veg were very good but the creamy leek... wow!! ...lovely. 10 out of 10. You can't go wrong with this place. I'll be back.

A total rip off. We ordered two Ploughman’s Lunches, having been very happy with the same meals in the same location a couple of years ago. For £12 all we received was a small lump of cheese, a single slice of ham, half of a small baguette (if that), a sliver of gherkin, a single small pickled onion, and a dessert spoon of coleslaw and pickle, topped off with a few strands of rocket! It wasn’t worth half the value that we paid. We did tell the staff that we expected more, all they said was ‘we’ll feed that back to the kitchen’. No hint of apology, a larger helping or a refund! Very disappointing after being very impressed a couple of years ago. I accept that things have changed over the last couple of years, but this was a total joke and shameless profiting.

3 of us came here yesterday for a post-hike roast and beer. They have their own range of craft beer, and a good selection of real ale. I had one of the 3 veggie roast options. It was fantastic. The Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, swede/sweet potato mash and gravy were absolutely in the top 5 roasts I've had. My friends had the lamb shoulder and chicken. They both said it was seriously good. We didn't have room for dessert but the options looked decent both on the menu and on other diners tables. The bar staff were knowledgeable about the beers and whoever was chef knows how to cook well. Absolutely recommend a Sunday Roast here!

I stayed in a room here at the end of September . Dirty room, dingy room, manager not contactable , noisy and cold. Do not stay here
