The best restaurants serving British food in Lewes South East

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.

Well don't quite know what to say about this place , other than its very ran down. Today we went for lunch as we thought it would be quick, how wrong were we --- we waited 3/4 hour for 2 dishes. After 30 mins I asked the waitress if she could check on our food, she came back and said another 15 mins. at exactly quarter past the hour our food came out by a young boy I asked him why it was so long and he said.. you are not the only customers here. Anyway rude staff and food and no refund or apology. the manager came to see me and he said it's done sorry for the wait. Tables dirty and very young staff unsupervised who are wkd staff . Do not eat here if you want a good meal the food is not worth it.

This restaurant used to be our go to a quick, great value, tasty lunch. No more! We had to wait quite a long time for our food. We ordered the cod goujons in brioche bun and got only one measly goujon that was more batter than fish and the fish was dry, it was so overcooked. Same for the fish & chips where the fish was a skinny strip of fish in several inches thick batter, tasteless and dry with a very small portion of chips and very unappetising mushy peas - costing £13.95! My daughter’s salad was missing most of the ingredients and we had to ask for them which took quite a while to arrive. Won’t be returning here.

Left without having dinner due to feeling hotel manager was unprofessional and unwelcoming. This is the second review I’ve ever written in my life! (The only other when a pie man shouted at my young daughter for curiously touching a pie). The hospitality business is 50% about the staff imo and I have given 3stars because the revamp is good and the ambiance nice and cosy and tasteful. The young bar staff were pleasant and the receptionist was charming and helpful. However, this has been the second time I have found the hotel manager to be short, unfriendly and downright rude. My partner then arrived and the first thing he said to me was the bar manager is really rude! Sort it out! You’re losing customers. How hard is it to be welcoming and polite and helpful? We went to a pub down the road the food was questionable but half the price and the customer service was friendly.
