The best restaurants serving British food in Lewes South East

Another fabulous meal at Ollivers, Intimate restaurant with bags of atmosphere . Fresh , original menu and food , host Steve is nothing but attentive , with his wife preparing great dishes , can’t wait to return

Food was amazing so much choice, staff was so friendly and kind, quick service. Every time I have been there brilliant service and so many different choices of cakes each time!

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

We were coming back from the Beachy Head cliffs and wanted a quick lunch; boy what a treat! Don't let the shop's small size fool you, the subs are huge, loaded with flavor, and very well priced. The owner and customers were laughing and joking around, Tony even plinking out a few tunes on a keyboard. We really enjoyed feeling like we were regulars from the minute we walked in the door. If you're anywhere in the area, definitely stop by!

Food good, service good. Problem with this place is its far too cold, asked for heating to be turned up only to be told the manager is not in today and she is the only one who can do it. Why do you have doors wide open right through the WINTER. Most people eating with coats on not a good experience.

A few drinks in Lewes, as a Christmas celebration, with my usual Friday drinking companions. We ended up at The Brewers Arms for supper. The food was excellent, very jolly Christmas atmosphere and superb Harvey’s. First rate pub.

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!

I came here all the time, today I will not return the lady staff was extremely rude! Because my kids came in with 2 cans of cherry coke from the store next door ad they do not have drinks they liked or are the cans cold, I was rudely told to put them away ,so we left sp for a £1 can of coke they lost £20 in profits plus I'll never return and I'll spread the word i have my own business, and if I found out a staff member cost my business money and a customer she would be gone this is not good business.

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.
