The best restaurants serving British food in Lewes Castle Lewes South East

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

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.

Classic traditional pub full of local characters.

Tried to visit the Rights of Man looking forward to trying the good selection of Harvey’s on tap. Be warned if you turn up in a group you will be turned away. We are in a late 50’s and were told we would disrupt people eating.

3 of us came here yesterday for a post-hike roast and beer. They have their own range of craft beer, and a good selection of real ale. I had one of the 3 veggie roast options. It was fantastic. The Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, swede/sweet potato mash and gravy were absolutely in the top 5 roasts I've had. My friends had the lamb shoulder and chicken. They both said it was seriously good. We didn't have room for dessert but the options looked decent both on the menu and on other diners tables. The bar staff were knowledgeable about the beers and whoever was chef knows how to cook well. Absolutely recommend a Sunday Roast here!

Really grim. I went with 2 other female friends in their 30s. We were in the disco area and the landlord (late 60s, male) kicked me after I touched one of his blow up Christmas display penguins. We weren’t being drunk or rowdy. Other reviews have said that the landlord and landlady have threatened to kick other patrons for random things like talking too loudly. I reported the incident to the police who said what he had done was an assault and I could take him to court. I opted not to go to court instead agreed to receive a written apology from the landlord, but have yet to receive one. Don’t go here - there are WAY better pubs in Lewes. Try The Lewes Arms, The Swan, The King’s Head, The Rights of Man, The White Hart, The Gardener’s Arms, The Brewer’s Arms, The Pelham Arms, The Black Horse, The Royal Oak, The Lansdown Arms, The Snowdrop, The Abyss Microbrewery, John Harvey Tavern. They’re all lovely pubs where you’re much less likely to be assaulted by the landlord.

This is such an addition to Lewes. Went on Bonfire night and staff friendly, building just fantastic, cosy in winter and lovely outside space in summer with brilliant views. Food excellent and reasonable. Would go again.
