   We had our sons first birthday at the kings head on a busy Saturday 1pm for 20 people and a few kids, they were so accommodating and went out their way to make the party perfect. All staff were super helpful and welcoming and Ollie was great. Really recommend this cosy pub for a party or just for drinks.

   We booked in after a long walk for 10 adults with 11 kids! The kings head smashed it out the park, they went above and beyond the make both kids and adults feel extremely welcome! We loved how the kids food came out first which meant they could play outside whilst we had a moment peace to eat, and our roasts were out of this world! From tender half chicken roasts, mixed meat to tasty veggie/vegan options it was all amazing! I just have to add that everyone got FREE stuffing and pigs in blackest with their roasts, amazing little touch! Great food, great beer and great service, thank you Kings Head, we will be back soon (maybe with less of us)

   Absolutely fantastic Sunday roast. Perfect, crispy roast potatoes, a giant Yorkshire pudding and homemade gravy that ties it all together. Cozy pub atmosphere, great portions, and proper comfort food done right. Highly recommend!

   Went for something to eat here last night & the food was amazing, there was a great selection to choose from and very friendly staff and good service. The pub is ideally situated by the train station as well, couldn’t recommend any higher! Will definitely be coming back to try more of their menu!

   Stayed one night here. The location is fantastic, near everything but quiet and with great views to the castle. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was amazing with unique quirky features you'd expect from Lewes. Huge comfortable bed, great bath and shower, huge size. Kitted out with everything you need, including lots of tea and coffee! For the price, I thought it was unbeatable.

   This was the best Sunday roast we've had in a pub for a very long time. We came to the Kings Head with family on New Years day to enjoy a roast dinner and found the quality of the food to be superb and the service extremely friendly, helpful and speedy. Between us we tried all the different roast option (chicken, pork belly, beef and nut roast) and all were fabulously tasty. There was plenty of veg and delicious gravy plus pigs in blankets and cauliflower cheese. The staff catered to some of our "off-menu" request really well and looked after our family with great attention. Can't wait to come back to try the burgers next time!

   The King's Head pub in Lewes is an absolute delight since the new landlord took over! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was top-notch - Some of the best I've ever had. The portion size was generous and my friends also raved about their meals. The drinks selection was impressive, with a wide range of local and international beers, wines, and spirits to choose from. The pub also had a nice selection of non-alcoholic options, which is always a plus. Overall, The King's Head is a fantastic pub that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Lewes. It's become the most perfect pub due its recent reboot. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious food and drinks! 5 stars!

   Great drinks! Really well priced and a good selection, it's clear they take care of their alcohol well. Nice atmosphere for a Friday night. Food left something to be desired. I don't know if we came on an off night but the fries were soggy and the rest of the food wasn't up to a good standard. Everyone was quite disappointed with their meals. Additionally we tried to book a table before hand and they said they didn't take bookings for less that 6 and it would be completely fine when we got there but we waited a long time for a table because it was so busy. However they did get our order wrong and remedied it efficiently. I would say a good place to go if you just want drinks but if you are looking for nice pub food in lewes there are far better options.

   This pub has enjoyed a thoroughly successful reboot in my opinion (late 2022). Great service, easy to find a table for drinking or eating without worrying about reservations, practical menu, and a useful selection of drinks below the town's highest pub prices. I'll be back.

   We were sent here from their sister branch The Black Horse (which was fully booked for Sunday lunch). Being their first Sunday since re-opening it was packed, but worth the wait for the delicious Sunday roast - great veggie option, amazing gravy and friendly staff.
