The best restaurants in Lewes South East

Afternoon tea: Delish sandwiches and scones, cakes looked nice but were a bit sickly and soggy. Stingy amount of cream and jam for 2. Tea was also stingy, small pot, no hot water as standard. Some of the servers were also quite rude. For the price it was disappointing

We had our Christmas work dinner at The Juggs last week. I was very impressed with both the quality of the food and the standard of service, particularly as they had to serve quite a large number of us all at the same time. Thanks for a great evening and I’d certainly recommend The Juggs.

bored with getting no dips with nuggets...

Food was great, and Olivia who served us was very positive and friendly, Very pleasing visit, very clean, great food and ale selection, great friendly staff, a good old feel main saloon.

Food was amazing,Skewer was great, deffo will be back! Great job, also the service was great that ginger guy was very nice and polite

Great place after a nice country walk!

Another enjoyable night. Food and staff were great again. Matt is a superb host and engages with his customers so well. Sadly, not the first time some of the menu isn't available due to low stock. Come on owners, start getting things right and supply these hard working managers with the stock they need.to serve what is on your menus, so they don't have to constantly apologise to customers. They are doing their best and a great job, they need better support. Will certainly be back again..

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Atypical of the usual over cooked watery offerings of most pubs. Generous well cooked portions and a decent wine list

Great find whilst walking in South downs Way, really good meal. Definitely superior to normal 'Pub Grub with their French chief. Staff exceptionally helpful and attentive. Big added bonus of being able to pass a peaceful night in our campervan in their large , flat carpark. Will definitely return, thank you Tom and your team

Very good food and excellent gluten free selection. Only trouble was the staff's insistence on calling us all 'loveley', 'dear' 'my love' and other ghastly terms of affection which apart from being very patronising, felt very odd and forced coming from people in their 20s (many decades younger than us). I commented on this when i orderd our food and we were then treated to a deluge of such language by the waiting staff. Why do people have to be so patronising and unpleasant? A definite reason not to go there too often.

Lovely meal, really interesting ideas in a small but perfectly formed menu - 3 pasta dishes, 3 mains. The antipasti were large enough to share and the house wine was good. Excellent dessert. Wine a tad slow to arrive but the service was very friendly.

A traditional Sussex pub which does food, there are the usual pub classics and a specials board and the portions are always a good size. If it's the right time of year you might be lucky and find they are doing venison bourguignon. We've always had a warm welcome from the staff, and there's usually an open fire in the winter. In the summer it's popular with groups from the various glamping sites nearby so I would recommend booking for food.

Another meal out whilst holidaying in Seaford…. This time with my Dad and his wife. We went here for lunch. What a miserable day it was, raining and blustery winds but we walked in here and the welcome was very warm from the staff. It wasn’t very busy but that’s to be expected for a cafe on the seafront when the weather isn’t great…. but it meant we got served quicker. I had a tuna and cheese panini which came with a salad and crisps my Dad had ham, egg and chips, both were very nice and large portions. We then had a hot chocolate with the works… cream and marshmallows… well it would have been rude not too!

It was not the worst Chinese food I've had but not the best at all the chips we'll all I can they was not chips they where fries the sweet and sour chicken balls looked like road kill more batter than chicken and veg spring rolls there was no veg in them but part from that ok suppose

Very poor takeaway. Took over an hour to deliver, and I don’t mind waiting for quality, but this was very poor. I know eggs have gone up in price but they should still be a predominant part of an egg fried rice! Everything else tasted just bland or a bit weird. The beef in the beef and mushroom was too thick and chewy. Thought we’d give this place a go, but certainly won’t go back, sorry.
