The best restaurants in Lewes South East

Great service, easy access, and plenty of seating. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the whole place is clean and tidy.

Called in on spec to this pub for a quick pint. Ordered 2 pints of Cruzcampo lager that looked lively but was completely flat by the time I got to the table. Outrageously expensive at £12.80 for the two pints. Absolute no atmosphere in this pub. At least the barmaid was welcoming and friendly..

Ate here with family. It was a Wednesday evening and we booked a table but hadn’t needed to as they were very quiet. Greeted by a very friendly landlady who was helpful but not intrusive. Only had one course each but the food was piping hot and tasty

Food and service absolutely 💯 drove from hove to try was not disappointed definitely recommend The roasts to the bully burgers .

Lovely pint of Guinness, served with a smile. Thanks

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly and attentive bar staff, best food ever. Shout out to Taylor for giving me the best customer service I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend!

Popped in for one quick drink. Seemed an OK pub

I've never had a bad curry here and the food was excellent again this evening. It was very popular, so I'm glad we booked. Since they removed the carpet a few years ago, it's slightly noisy, as there are few soft furnishings to absorb the noise. It also feels a bit chilly - not cold, but on the cool side. The staff are a bit business-like and lack charm with their service, but the food is why we come here.

Lovely food and plenty of it :) and Harvey's on tap! Great views too. Lovely place to enjoy a chilled Saturday afternoon.

Met up with some friends for afternoon tea having been pleased before.I was disappointed this time. The sandwiches seemed cheap, no salmon, no salad of any description either in or around the sandwiches. (Tuna,Egg, Cheese & pickle, ham. No tomato or cucumber or lettuce) There was a small square of brownie and millionaires shortbread the same as you buy in those supermarket tubs of 2 for £3 etc. These were the cakes, not like before where there was lemon sponge and red velvet cake. Although there was nice looking cakes on the counter. The scones were ok, the sausage rolls ok (literally a sausage in pastry) and that was it for my £22.50. I had done a previous review in July and you can see in those pictures there was salad, cakes and strawberries and redcurrants. I’ve also been since, but this was so disappointing I will go elsewhere next time. Oh and 2 small bottles of Prosecco? £17.90!

Every time I go into this place with my son the young guy on th till never listens 3 times in a row I’ve asked for my sons bacon to be well well done as he hates any white fat showing and every single time I’ve had to put it in the bin because they bacon still looks uncooked big waste of money

Good food but very expensive . Limited menu . We had to wait a log time for our food to appear Lovely location . Friendly atmosphere .

Most amazing dinner, between us we had roasts, burger and risotto and it was all fantastic. Lovely staff and cosy pub atmosphere.

We were told the takeaway food would be about 20 minutes, so arrived after about 25 just to be sure. Unfortunately this was nowhere near how long it actually took. We waited an hour in the end for the food and quickly drove the 2 minutes home, when we arrived home everything on the order apart from one item was stone cold. We ate the food because we were all hungry by this time and needed to feed the kids, the food itself wasn’t bad. But the wait and fact it was cold I probably wouldn’t return. Unless you’ve got plenty of time on your hands and like cold food! A shame because it’s the only kebab place in the village, during the week it’s still slow but better. Maybe I’ll drive the extra few minutes to Lewes in future…

Finally managed to get back to Lewes for a short break and as usual the first place we head for is Wickle. And wow! what a change - it seems lock down has been put to good use, the store has had refit and looks fabulous. It's still the treasure trove it ever was but somehow it feels lighter and bigger and easier to browse. It was disappointing that the cafe wasn't yet reopened and we couldn't sit and rest our legs over a cup of tea but the owner explained they hope to get it back open very soon. It saddens me to read the previous review - we have always had nothing but wonderful and positive experiences in the shop and I felt compelled to write a review in the owners defence. Customer service has always been excellent, She has always been very kind and calm and welcoming to us and our dogs - she is obviously very passionate about her store and this shines through in the shops sheer brilliance!I'm sure lock down hasn't been easy for independent shops like Wickle and its great to see this one still thriving! If you haven't been before - pay it a visit!
