The Peacehaven in Lewes

This is a lovely place, great people great atmosphere and the waiting staff bend over backwards to help you, food reasonable price.

Excellent and efficient service- monika was very friendly and helpful as well as attentive - would definitely bring the family again

Monika went above and beyond for my family. We turned up for a party of 8 and had an extra person. She sorted it out no problem. She very friend made us feel welcome. My family from Hampshire absolutely loved their carvery and will come again and surprised to the value of their meal. Well done to the team always so friendly when my partner and I visit.

Really good service very attentive. Food was lovely . The only thing i would find fault with is the table next to us one gentleman was vaping at the table. I never complained or spoke to the waitress because we had finished eating but i found it a bit disrespectful of others.

Elaine was a great host. Very attentive Food was great Will definitely return and will recommend this restaurant to others.

Great local carvery but needs a good update, but we love it here .

Food was nice ,bit busy ,I think they try to fit to many people in, a bit chaotic, you had to keep chasing the staff,the man carving the meat wasn't very happy 😕

Service and greeting excellent, waitress brilliant

Liz as always is lovely polite and helpful

We like it here. The breakfast choice is very good and constantly replenished. Similarly the roast choice is excellent too. Excellent value. Beers are cheap too. Definitely one of the better buffet places to eat. The place is due a lick of paint tbh.

The burger special was not great, however, the Sunday roast every day is great value for money and with delicious options. ( no lamb is the only downfall ) the restaurant is warm and Cosy not an upbeat place but an easy roast goes a long way.

Great food. huge servings! STAFF HAVE GONE DOWNHILL.

Often pop in for an all you can eat breakfast. Selection of items seems to have lessened of late but still has a decent choice. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Don't forget to register your car for parking.

Don't bother ordering online.. portions are smaller then kids meals. Had to drive down to the stonehouse because they wouldn't help.. had a very small potion before and accepted it as a one of, this time I called before placing my order to adress my concern and still got sent out this

Friendly service. Ample seating and parking. Lovely pint of Peroni.

The staff are always polite and friendly. The food is always good

I visited here today with my daughter. We both got the traditional carvery £9.40 . I hsd a Cappuccino from the machine and my daughter had a pint of pepsi max. I had roast beef and my daughter had the beef and gammon. It was quite nice, sometimes it's a bit hit and miss. But it was nice today.

Great place for a no nonsense Sunday roast Carvery was well stocked - Roast Pork, Glazed Gamon, Roast Turkey & Beef Loads of veggies & crispy Roast potatoes Staff were friendly & efficient !! It was busy but that's because it's a good carvery and great value for money

Excellent service from Eileen, friendly. Also the main thing is that the food quality and taste has vastly improved! Will be back again!!

Emily was very good such a lovely waitress nothing was to much bother either food was amazing as always and the table and table service was amazing on such a busy Sunday

Lovely in here. Great view, tidy and clean

This is a very beautiful spot with absolutely delicious food and very kind welcoming staff. Really nice roast dinner.really nice landscape outside and a very calm area

Felt very welcome! Our waitress Eileen was amazing and cheerful. She went above and beyond even when my baby son made lots of mess. Thank you soo much.

I've not been here for >10 years. Even after being here tonight, I'm still not sure how it works. Thankfully, the staff are really helpful.

Our young granddaughter wanted to go for carvery. Didn't have to wait long. We all had plenty to eat.

Sever was very rude with her words and facial expressions her hair was messy too! Cobwebs everywhere and hair on tables When I told the women at the bar about the servers rudeness she said yes we get complaints about her often she was very rude not just to me but and elderly couple next to me ! Never coming here again!!!!!

Fantastic roast dinner At last somewhere that does crispy and fluffy roast potatoes and nice quality meats

Visited here many times over the years. Fish and chips is cooked to order, always hot and not greasy. Carvery veg choice varies slightly each time. Liz and John always attentive and friendly. Tables always clean and well stocked

Very nice caravary, helpful staff.

Great price food and tasty too, pub is a bit dated but you can get past that for the portion sizes

This is a case of one bad experience outweighing several ok ones. I say ok ones because this is a fairly regularly visited venue for us, and, on the whole it’s a pretty consistent, average meal and environment, you get what you pay for, and it’s not expensive. Unfortunately, on this occasion, the waitress was unable to grip the tray properly and one of the drinks ended up all over me. That, in itself, doesn’t really bother me, as accidents happen. It was the lack of apology, and almost inference of blame that was infuriating. Along with that, we had to wait for food to be replenished on the carvery, being met with comments of ‘this is the last of it’ from a very unhappy looking meat carver. At end of the meal, we were offered my meal for free, so that was a consolation, and we will come back again. So, I would summarise by saying, it’s ok here, for a cheap local, easy meal out.

Amazing carvery Amazing value Amazing puddings

This is a great spot with ocean views. Our waitress was warm and friendly. The carvery food was OK at best. I tried to strike a conversation with one of the young chefs carving the meats however he did not seem friendly nor interested in what I had to say. If it wasn't for the views this place would be a dive.

Great price carvery,good quality food,yum yum

A choice of dishes for adults and children with some vegetarian options too. Prices are reasonable and food is too. It was predominantly a carvery with a number of other options but now it does offer a wider selection of other dishes. Most of the time, although it can get busy, it's often possible to just turn up and get a table but best to check during holidays, special occasions and weekends, as well as in the run up to Christmas, when lots of groups have meals there. Visited recently with my daughter and 2 of my great grandchildren. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was ok and children loved getting their own ice cream. There was an offer on kids meals so the price was very reasonable. The veg with the carvery could have been better, not helped by being under lights. I wish they did roast parsnips but not many places do them. My daughter enjoyed a burger and the kids liked their food.

Nice restaurant with good food but I'd like to see more on the menu which was somewhat limited when compared to The Drove near Sainsbury's which has much more varied choice.

Nice place to take the family out for a decent dinner at reasonable prices!! Nice food ★★★★★ very friendly staff ★★★★★ good service ★★★★★ Nice Atmosphere ★★★★★ Ps Remember To tap in your vehicle number plate when using the car park ‼️

Very good experience ! Our waitress was very friendly and that's very nice ! Good meals for a quick lunch ! We'll be back !

Great buffet! Very warm welcome, I almost didn't finish my plate because I was so full. A good address to remember.

The staff where very welcoming and helpful and as for the food we had a the carvery and omg I loved every bit, roast potatoes super crispy perfect, gammon was perfection honey glaze and the saltyness mouth watering and the beef and turkey spot on I only have one suggestion not a complaint I just like my cheese extra strong in my cauliflower cheese but that's just me,

Great pub/restaurant. There are typical pub dishes, pizza and burgers. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are marked accordingly. The service is very attentive and friendly. And there is non-alcoholic Guinness 😍

In 2023 I was a regular, the place had a great atmosphere and the food was very good. Sadly this was not the case on my recent visit after bigging up how great the place was we were very disappointed. They used to ask you to wait to be greeted at the entrance but now it says register your car number plate, find a seat and order via the app... Pretty straight forward using the app to order but asking me to add a tip without even talking to our waiting staff is a bit much! Our drinks and carvery tickets came out and from there the evening declined. The carvery had gone from delicious to average since my last visit. Then we waited around 30 minutes for our pudding... Overall if I do return in the future I won't be using the app... I prefer human interaction as it adds to the enjoyment of the evening.

Haven't been there in a while , met some friends for lunch ,very pleasantly surprised about the greatly improved food. But must make a special poiint about the cleanliness of the place ,especially the toilets

Friendly & helpful. We were assisted with adapting the choice of food regarding the menu. Enjoyable lunch for the two of us.

Great speedy, friendly service from Eileen and great value food. Been here a few times and has great views of the sea and food is unbelievable value.

This is a spectacular Sunday lunch carvery. The roast is beyond excellent - great meats and I lost track of how many veg were offered. I give five stars to the atmosphere because a couple of hundred people scoffing Sunday lunch speaks for itself.

A typical good value Carvery. Ideal if you are hungry and fancy a Carvery.

Very clean, good food, prompt service

Asked for a take away box due to not being able to finish my meal. A lovely lady gave me one but it wasn't big enough. Asked for a second box with another lady. She was so rude. Slammed her phone on the bar and stormed off and then proceeded to slam the take away box on the table and shouted across the room to the team on and around the bar. I spent near £100 and was going to get another drink to sit outside. Me and my family changed our minds and went somewhere else on such a lovely day. Think customer service training might be worth looking into but I don't think I would come back or recommend this place to anyone I know.

Great carvery. The rest of the menu is really good too. They do a great full breakfast from 9-12 Really good value 👏

I always have a salad ,would have the Carvery, but I like my Roast dinner hot and I only ever seem to get it warm,be great if you had access to a microwave.

Carvery and regular menu, although we had a long wait for the latter orders (which we were warned about). Daily offers make it a cheap place to eat.

Just an honest little place. You get what you're paying for. Grate staff. Loads of free parking. Opens at 9

Come here quite often for either breakfast or just some snacks and a drink. Staff are all bubbly and lovely and the food is incredible. Will continue coming. The only small downside which can’t be helped is during breakfast buffet you find that certain items have run out but no place is perfect 👍

It's usually good. But yesterday was terrible . Had to wait 50 mins for a pizza. The caravy wasn't great potatoes hard . Mushy vegetable Considering you charge double weekends should be better . And cost of 3 water down pepsi nearly £11 wasn't even large

There had run out of Turkey by 6:30 And the desert I wanted and then the icecream mechanic broke down

Very delicious food, very relaxing, friendly staff, good service as usual,

went to the peacehaven & Eileen our waitress was very welcoming ,& efficient , polite .

Was last here the bank holiday weekend at the end of May 2024, always go here for breakfast and sometimes dinner when visiting family in Brighton and can’t fault it. Food is always spot on with lovely well maintained surroundings and all the staff are really helpful and friendly, in particular Lisa, Monique and Kirsty. Have tried the pub in this chain local to us in the midlands and it’s not a patch on the Peacehaven which is a credit to all who work there. Will definitely be returning whenever we’re back in Brighton again.

Eileen Is so kind and lovely person. Food perfect! Thank you for all.

Eileen is perfect Great carvery

Our friendly waitress Liz looked after us very well as usual. Cheerful and efficient as always

Eileen served us. Everything was marvelous, super service, fastly prepared pizza only was a bit not fully fried potatoes. Apart from that good atmospheric music.

Eileen is great! Very friendly staff

Carvery is good value for money and tasty. Kids really rate their pizzas. Pudding menu has been revamped over the past few years and has lots of options. Breakfast is good value but a little greasy. Only negative is the refillable hot drinks; the dispenser touches the rim of every cup, which is not very hygienic.

Very good no problems very good price

I love the Sunday roast I have here the bubble and squeak is really good

Very busy when we went and very under staffed ,I felt sorry for the poor lady doing it all herself, food was great

Enjoyable Fathers day breakfast. Good food and good service.

Booked the table online which was easy On arrival was seen to our table Staff very polite and said hello, one staff member Nicki always finds time to speak with my dad who has dementia which is lovely Was able to get our roast straight away no queue like Sundays where you can queue for at least 20 minutes, so we always go on a Saturday now Food was hot and fresh, drinks were on the table on return, staff checked on us throughout the meal can’t ask for more thank you

Your chair literally caused a hole in my hand 🤬🤬🤬

A few interesting and reasonably priced beers. Comfortable with plenty of seating and good value food.

Went here for a Birthday celebration, went to order our food. Was told after ordering that there would be a 1h+ wait. They brought out one of my party’s dessert before any of us had even received our starters. The Pizza I ordered was not hot anymore as It was on the counter for 10 minutes and overall rather tasteless. The staff were unapologetic and even the Carvery had a 5 minute each time we asked. (it took 20m to even get served a ticket) Overall a not very nice experience and I wouldn’t advise anyone to go here if you’re booking for 5-15 people as they couldn’t be less prepared to help us with our booking.

Good and service were good would recommend to anyone

Last review was 6 years ago when it got 1 star from me. Much better this time.

Lovely food and great service from Eileen very helpful and pleasant

A really nice place to eat. High quality food at a reasonable price. Food well prepared and presented by helpful and friendly staff. Easy access and plenty room to manoeuvre if you have mobility issues.

Reasonable price , food quality is amazing and fast service with amazing customers service. I will go again when I get chance.

We booked a table at 8pm, and were told that there was no carvery left. That was fine, we’d order from the menu. My son asked for sausage and mash from the main menu, to be told he couldn’t have that ‘because it comes off the carvery’ . We ended up all having fish and chips, which was ok, but when we asked for dessert were told the kitchen was closed and we couldn’t have any. This was 8.30. I can honestly say that I have never been told half way through a meal that I could not complete the meal. I’m afraid that I would never recommend this place. I’m amazed they are still in business

Ok roast dinner could have been more meat supplied on my large carvery. Thought it was a little tight myself good choice of veg which you could have as much as you liked. Offered a normal sizes sausage when very small pigs in blanks were in the next dish to them. When asked for a couple of those instead was told they were extra by the chef, but not mentioned at the counter when purchasing my meal 🎟. Overall a pleasant meal so would not dish it (pun intended.)

Food was really nice and service was excellent.

Lovely carvery friendly staff especially the chef who carved the meat would definitely recommend

My self and 3 friends who having been eating at the carvery for many years and found it excellent apart from this evening. We arrived at 7pm and went to get our meal. The food was scattered all over the serving area plus the meat and turkey of which was left was hacked to pieces. The young guy who usually serves us was not there. He keeps the food area tidy and in order. It will not stop us visiting the carvery, but hope it was a one off. We noticed the the usual staff were not there tonight.

Lovely friendly staff and delicious food

I stopped for lunch and was satisfied. It has a large menu with lots of choice. Interestingly, it has special offers on various days of the week. I had lunch on Tuesday, and on Tuesday there is a pizza offer with a 50% discount. Compliments!

Despite visiting on a busy bank holiday we were seated quickly and received our drinks shortly after. Considering how busy they were the wait for food was only around half an hour. The service was great (thank you to Eileen) and the food tasted good (clean plates all round). Overall it was good value.

Nice little pub. Stopped in to watch the football. Locals seemed friendly enough. Bit of a wait for a beer as the staff were busy doing something else but acknowledged me and apologised for keeping me waiting, so no issues at all.

Elleen was lovely and accommodating

When we arrived at 7pm we were told we can only order carvery as they had too many tickets for other food to be ordered. The restaurant wasn't even very busy. We left and went to the one in Saltdean which was absolutely horrendous. They had hardly any food we could order and we were rushed to order what we could order and eat so quickly so they could close. Absolutely awful restaurants. Food was awful they wanted to bring out all three courses at the same time so they could close the kitchen at 8pm. Will not be returning

Always warmly welcomed, the staff are always friendly and professional. My only small complaint is they are very tight With the amount of chips given with the burger meals

Would not serve any food apart from Carvery as it was busy! They also have a lack of staff. Carvery was nice,

Our server Eileen was lovely and attentive /friendly 😃

I have tried other carveries in the area but The Peacehaven is by far and away the best.The food is excellent and there is always a great selection of fresh vegetables and lovely crispy roast potatoes to go with freshly carved meat choices. The atmosphere is very pleasant and in no small measure down to the excellent and friendly staff.All of them make me feel valued and welcome and that is why I go back regularly. A little unfair really to pick out any particular staff member as I have found them all great but Liz in particular always has a smile on her face and has great customer service skills.Everyone is warmly welcomed and her attention to detail is spot on.Nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Went here today was very busy. Food was ok not over cooked. But the chef 👩‍🍳 a bit tight with handing out the meat 🍖 happy to hand out the Gammon, but tight on the other meats. Weekend prices are a bit steep for what you get but they are never short of customers the ice cream bit cheap and not white some yellow looking and not milky taste.

Eileen was lovely, quick service. We weren’t left with dirty plates for ages like some places. She was lovely and friendly and assisted with a smaller portion for my Grandad. Highly recommend

Pizza was not very nice, staff was okay

Plenty of food what ever you choose .staff brilliant .became quite busy around 1.30

Excellent service interior a little tierd but value for money

Good food at very good prices, I had the carvery and it was excellent.

Went and had a breakfast. The food was very enjoyable. The staff were friendly.
