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

What a gem of a place, a very tidy traditional pub with excellent staff and food. A bit of a tardis as the pub extends way back and also has a small private dining room on the ground floor along with a beer garden. Well recommended

We thought we'd give The White Hart a go a few Sundays ago as we were child free. We've tried most places in the area and most have been thoroughly disappointing so after looking at reviews on here we thought we'd give it a go. I will admit when I saw the sign that said 2 for £14 on roast my heart sank a little as I expected it to be a cheap wetherspoons type roast. Well I was BEYOND WRONG. The roast was AMAZING! We both had the 3 meat roast, chicken, gammon and beef and the care and attention that the chef had put into the food he served was obvious from the moment our plates were put down. Beautifully presented with perfect homemade Yorkshire puddings, perfect roast potatos and all of the meats we're tender and juicy. We were just astounded at the quality. Since then we've been back twice, once for a roast and another time on a Friday night and all 3 times have been equally good. The food is incredibly cheap but absolutely delicious and plentiful. The bar staff friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere welcoming. This is absolutely now our go to place for a roast, being a qualified chef I get so sick of places serving par standard roast dinners but The White Hart far exceeded out expectations. Our new local. Keep doing what youre doing and compliments to the Chef!

Always friendly and helpful, will always go there for chicken supplies

Pelham House was the second venue we saw, and even though we had another couple of venues booked in, we decided Pelham was for us. The building has such a natural beauty, and not just in the main rooms, every aspect of the house and gardens is beautiful. It is in an ideal location, an hour from London, and although it is in the central of Lewes you would never know it from the building as it's a bit set back with beautiful gardens. The staff were great, there were a few things that happened behind the scenes on the day, but the staff handled it so seamlessly that we didn't know about it until the next day. The food was amazing as well, the amount of people who said it was the best food they'd ever had at the wedding was crazy, and the amount of clean plates that went back to the kitchen spoke the truth. Not to mention how amazing the canapes were. Emily was a lovely coordinator, and kept our day moving perfectly. The hire, food/drink, and rooms were exceptionally good value, and the bar is well priced. I would say just outside London prices for pints etc. The only comment was the price of a 6 pack of beers for the groomsmen before the wedding was very overpriced, and I hope they change that. I couldn't recommend Pelham more, they helped us have the perfect day.

Well, it all started when we came to the front door and the bar man was so unwelcoming he may as well of told us to leave before we entered. To say the least it was a disappointment. However the bar ladies was very nice. What a shame the barman’s unwelcoming behaviour overshadowed the bar lady wonderful customer service. It would a much better pub with out him in my opinion.
