The best restaurants serving British food in Lewes South East

Treated ourselves on our anniversary. What a treat that was. Very well presented and food cooked to perfection. Little expensive but worth it

Great place for Breakfast or Brunch, although they do Lunches and Afternoon teas. Friendly Staff, Mark and Ellie are always attentive. Food is always cooked great, as you would expect. We try to get there at least once a fortnight as a treat.

The food was delicious and healthy. I had the salad option and it was packed with variety, colour and great taste. My son had soup and fresh bread and a sausage roll. We plan to return because the food was great at a really affordable price.

The owner is an engaging, friendly character who made the entire experience of attending court a more relaxed one. Please visit and enjoy a lovely coffee

Good food and great service in a small space..! The chef is very entertaining and there are a lot of regulars.. highly recommended for the experience and a meal..!

We went for Sunday lunch yesterday for a big birthday celebration. We had a booking at 2pm. We arrived promptly and were asked to wait at the bar. We were still there 45 minutes later and had to keep chasing up the table. We then sat down and waited a further 15 minutes as no-one come over. We eventually found a waitress and made the orders. The food was nice and generous portions, again after dinner the plates weren't cleared away we had to ask and had to ask again for them to take desert orders. There was no-one to ask for drinks or a jug of water. On arrival we gave the staff a cake which we wanted brought out after the meal, we waited a long time for them to bring out even after asking. The staff were unfriendly and service was slow and painful

We enjoyed a vegetarian Sunday lunch here. Very good price and I appreciated the fact that they did a smaller plate as I can’t eat the usual huge portions that pubs serve. Also good for kids. Traditional interior pub decor and ambiance. Great service. Would definitely go again.

A really lovely cafe, I hadn't seen it since it's been refurbished and it looks fresh and inviting. We had salads, quiche and the vege chilli, all excellent and obviously freshly prepared. I like the ethos of using local and sustainable suppliers too. Friendly service and the prices reasonable considering the quality.

Came across this place on the last leg of a walk on the Downs a few years back. Returned today to find all was closed down and overgrown, despite a website i ducati g to the contrary. . How on earth someone managed to submit a good review on 4th Sep is rather strange. The location and feel of the garden, with the gravel pathways and cottage type beds, was once absolutely idyllic. Not surprised it hasn't survived - the following is what I drafted back then. Pethaps I should have read the signs... "There were lots of tables and chairs to choose from, some in some very welcome shade. We were rather dirty and sweaty, so didn't really notice the standard of the furniture. We sat and recovered, reading our papers. The drinks and lunch were of very good quality and tasty, so we didn't mind the above average prices. However, the speed of service and attitude of the older woman were bad. I can't therefore give a good rating.. The place was not crowded, and we had to remind them about our order (tea, cold drinks and salad) after 30 minutes - when an adjacent table was served before us, having arrived 10 minutes or so after us. When our order was delivered, our comment was "oh, lovely, we're ready for this", to which the woman replied "oh have you been waiting - we can only work so fast in this heat you know". Clearly someone who finds it easy to make it the customer's problem. Just an apology would have done. Shall go back though, for the location, but perhaps just for a cuppa next time (would possibly be cold tho).

My sister and I attended a wreath making evening tonight at 'Little Cottage Tea Rooms and Gardens'. It was so enjoyable and I came away with a Christmas wreath! Never made one before and was quite pleased with the result (my ability was the only drawback 😄). Jo, who owns the place, was absolutely charming and it was obvious that she has her customer satisfaction at heart. Jo went above and beyond and I am sure that any experience in that delightful place will be a good one.

I have been to Frankies beach bar about a year ago. The service and food was very good. Travelled from Worthing on a beautiful day to enjoy a lunch. Was I wrong! We ordered toasted sandwiches. They were very greasy and inedible. I was told that because they had been busy a buildup of oil had built up on the grill. Greasy spoon,definitely!

Best to walk as parking is limited, although not necessary depending on time if day. Excellent cafe, competitively priced and good quality cafe food.

The kind lady serving was so helpful providing us with a ramp for my mother in law to get her wheel chair into the cafe. The food and drink was great and we will definitely be going back again..

Looked up cafes for breakfast near the port and found this gem. Nothing to look at as its a porta cabin but inside its clean and the food is excellent. Thick bread and butter, great breakfasts and very reasonable prices. Love the dog but not sure everyone would appreciate the staff stroking the dog and then continuing to serve food but we love dogs and doesn't bother us. The tea and coffee were best tasted, not fancy just proper tea and coffee. Would definately recommend, parking at the rear too. Easy to walk from port or premier inn, and great value. Staff very friendly and will definitely return next trip to Newhaven.
