The Engineer in Lewes

Great pub if you're waiting for a train as only a 5 minute walk away.

I don't know if they do food but this was my first time here the Guinness was beautiful. The park was perfect for the little one just wish it had a wider slide 🛝 😉. Perfect hidden gem 💎 don't let everyone know ✨️ thank you to the lady Engineer's 😀

Lovely quiet and friendly place filled with kind locals. Beer is cheap and service is superb!!! Lovely place to stop and have a drink and a snack before catching the ferry to Dieppe.

Didn't have food so can't comment on that, but staff and atmosphere was great

A nice reasonably quiet pub which is dog friendly, great staff, very good prices and a warm welcome from all people in the put anytime day or night. Although they don't serve food here, you are always welcome to have a takeaway delivered to eat inside the pub!

Excellent out side garden kids will love it

Local pub between the retail parks and the ferry terminal. Very cheerful, welcoming staff and readily accepted by the locals. Several real ales on offer at very reasonable cost. The only pub in that area so a great surprise and visit.

We went to this pub for a family wake. Beautiful spread of food put on. The toilets were nice and clean and the staff friendly. The pub is much nicer than its surroundings indicate.

So I popped into this fine port side establishment last week , actually arranged to meet my tinder date in here , bit nervous at first as I was there a bit early ,but the bar staff were very kind and reassuring, A few minutes wait and there she was , Golden brown , great body , hour glass figure , bubbly personality , and the head was just perfect, and it only cost £4 , I do love a pint of Stella. Shortly after my 2nd pint my date turned up ,she was a lot younger than me, i lied on my profile ( who doesn’t ) , so I thought sod it when in Rome . She was ok looking but not quite as attractive as the £4 pint of Stella , she got better looking as the evening went on for some reason ? Pub was pretty busy with attractive tradesmen as it was just after work , Wendy couldn’t keep her eyes of them , bless her, sometimes wish I was a bit more alpha , anyhow it was a great evening until Wendy went home with one of the tradesman , I don’t think I’ll be seeing her again , but I will definitely be seeing the engineer again ! Great atmosphere and fantastic value for money !

Went in to watch the football waiting for our ferry back to France, the atmosphere was lovely and the staff accommodated us brilliantly would definitely pop in again 😊

Great garden and lovely staff. I don't know whether you can eat there

Lovely pub near to the the port Perfect for sailors

Proper pub been going there for years

Always fantastic. Love the place and the staff. Hope it never changes. Great family atmosphere with children's garden. A must visit for all. You need to visit if in Newhaven.

Friendly staff, great prices, lovely local atmosphere. Great- thanks!

Great pub garden with play area for kids.

Rustic... Staff also super nice... Gladly again... It's a shame the mega construction site opposite. But no one can do anything about it...

Nice clean pub friendly Staff an the beer isn't to expensive. Definitely call in again when passing

Brilliant staff in there, a massive thank you to Nikki for the kindness you showed for my daughter. Can't thank you enough x

What a pub should be No need to say anymore.

Lovely traditional pub, very friendly.

A few quid bee spent on this place I last few years, good beers and garden has loads of seating. Always friendly welcome when you turn up.

Beers are great & staff are so polite, thanks for having us!! Blaine (Goodwin's Removals)

I have never been in there before but have driven past many a time, it's a good real proper working man's pub and just how it should be !

I have been working in Newhaven for a few weeks recently and struggled to find a "proper pub". I am a Camra member and am lucky enough to live in Derby which is according to the Lonely Planet the "Real Ale Capital of the World" so had been fairly disappointed, this was until going to The Engineer. Cracking pint of Harveys at a sensible price. The staff and regulars are really friendly and make you feel at home even reserving me a seat for the Euro games. Highly recommended am looking forward to my next visit. (I haven't eaten here and wasn't aware it was a restaurant, that may need clarifying)

Very quiet and nice pub. All seemed very friendly and welcoming of strangers. Nice big garden area too. Thanks for welcoming us in.

Nice pub good selection of beer friendly staff.

Excellent hosts and the beer is great. A must visit if your in town👍👍🍷🍺

Amazing, best pub I've been to in a while

Prices has gone up alot since Bob use to run, it's not the same anymore. Cheaper and more lively pubs in town centre!

Amazing pub and staff very welcoming pub highly recommend

Excellent service and felt completely safe during covid 19 restrictions. Served at a table and signed in brilliant. These places deserve our support.

Love it! So relaxed, so friendly!

Good beer Toilets spotlessly clean. Given a good welcome by staff. One of the best Doom Bar ale I've had

Excellent pub, a great pint of Doombar. Very nice decor and clean. Large beer garden and play area.

Popped in out of interest towards the end of a long walk. We were not disappointed, The pub was obviously newly refurbished and set out really well for Covid with sanitisers along the bar, a one way system inside and tables all well spaced. Beautiful bar with an impressive selection of all drinks, ales and spirits. Sparkling toilets. Really friendly staff and lovely spacious beer garden/ kids play area with tables nicely spaced and all labelled with latest Covid socialising reminders. Wish this was our local but as it’s only three miles from home, we’ll definitely be returning!

Verry nice pub. Friendly to outstanders

A fantastic, near forgotten. House. Families welcome. Well run. Been in the same family for years. Egon Ronnay it isn't. Egg on Ronnie. It is. In Spades. What's the matter, you foodie pants. Afraid of a life experience.

Lovely family run traditional pub good selection of beers and spirits at a reasonable price, staff have always been friendly and welcoming. The recent refurbishment looks great but I liked it before anyway.

Good company honest pub. Always go back.

Lovely place lovely staff the food was fantastic and plenty for every one

Lovely pub in newhaven, newly refurbished. Great beer and ales! At a great price, cheapest pub in newhaven! Plenty of spirits to choose from and a lovely garden. Pool table and dart boards available to play on.

Typical old style English pub, but it's nice there.

As posted elsewhere magic pub. Lovely staff and customers. Proper pub. This is a very special place. All you locals - Guard it well!

A fine establishment, creamy Guinness ,great staff , relaxed atmosphere and enjoyable banter

Lovely pub and staff. Well priced, very good pool table and dart boards. Just off the ferry, and decent beers!

This is a great family run wet pub. Excellent viewing for football screens without being intrusive. Bar staff are very appropriate and a refreshing contrast to the indifference commonly encountered. The regulars were helpful and friendly.As a stranger passing through, it is never entirely certain what the atmosphere is going to be. The absence to tension was clear and clearly certain things have been done to make it that way.Like one local said, if the pub was threatened, I'd buy it!

Do not bypass this pub! Friendly locals good staff and half decent food!

Quirky, friendly pub with a couple of decent ales on.

Lovely friendly pub right on my doorstep, really should go there more! Huge garden for the nicer summer days too.

Great pub. What you see is what you get. No fancy expensive food. The ale is very well kept and at a very low price.

Just had the most amazing evening in a pub that still holds traditional values at it's heart. The publican Bob and his daughters were friendly and really good at making you feel included. Fantastic karaoke that I normally don't do but felt safe enough in this pub. Haven't laughed and talked to so many new people in ages and all were friendly and welcoming. I really will look forward to coming back. Thank you so much we had a ball!

Superflexible staff and management!

Lovely nice bar staff nice and safe area. Lovely garden

Good pub and very nice people to

A little isolated in that its part of an industrial estate and near a seemingly derelict station, its more comfortable than it looks from outside. Limited to a single option on hand pump, the beer is nevertheless well kept. Friendly staff, somewhat dated interior and the ubiquitous large screen TV , permanently on and muted , nobody actually watching, which seems to be a modern requirement.

It is a very nice and friendly place.

First time I visited this pub on Christmas Eve and i have to say it is very friendly, small but you are given a warm welcome.

Great experience will go thrre again

I drink in here every so often and the landlord bob is so welcoming and friendly and always helps u if he can will come back again cannot wait til the hog roast next year

A proper working mans pub and the best kept cellar around

Very nice little pub especially when you are friendly with the locals definitely would pop in for a visit.

Bloody good time family always welcome. Does good for charities every year. Nothing the Daniels family won't do for you at short notice if they can. Good old traditional pub. Bobs a credit for all that stands for running a pub.

Lovely little pub, cheapest in the town!!

Typical English pub, great beer

Rough & ready pub with good beer

We visited for a Birthday. Although we didn't book, the staff were very helpful and sorted a table. Good menu with a good range of foods at competitive prices. worth another visit

I love this pub, I'm lucky it's my local.

Newhaven's only pub on the East side of the river is equidistant between the Town and Harbour Stations but if you get off at Newhaven Harbour and pass by the long defunct Harbour Tavern you will have a slightly shorter route to this fine Edwardian building in Railway Road. In times gone by there was a captive audience amongst the workers of Parker Pen and the many other light industries nearby but these days the Engineer has to rely on passing trade. It is worth making the effort though as the Landlord Bob Daniels runs a proper old school boozer with a couple of ales always in good nick together with the usual wine and lager offerings. Every year in August the Engineer hosts a charity fundraiser which is well supported. If you are looking for a gastro style menu and twenty craft beers this is not the pub for you but if you want the real deal it will not disappoint. Go and support it.

Great charity event held yesterday. Good food, ale and altogether we'll run day with live music/bands into the night.

Friendly down to earth pub. Nice ales. Meet the real people of Newhaven and have the cheapest beer in town!

Great little community pub does charity events every now and again which are amazing friendly and helpful staff nice and quiet sometimes and has a pool table thumbs up in my book

Proper pub cheap prices friendly

Lovely friendly pub with a great landlord. Best priced beer in Newhaven!!

Actually a pretty good pub with a really good vibe and atmosphere

A nice little pub near the train station and a 10 minute walk from tide mills beach. Beer is a little expensive but a nice beer garden out the back

Great little pub tucked away, shows all the sport, great beer/ale/cider selection. Do not be put off on its location or appearance from the outside. Very friendly staff inside. Bob the landlord is lovely guy also

Had a great night in here with my twinny! Good price for drinks and snacks, very competive in Newhaven. Will be back soon!

Landlord a nice guy, chatty and welcoming to a stranger on their own, would return with friends definitely, cheers.
