Refreshments in Lewes

“I think this must be fairly new as I have no recollection of this pub / restaurant. Thomas Paine has strong local connections, unlike Casta and Madge. He helped inspire the American revolutionary war and almost lost his head in the French one. Silly so and so. I had another Harvey's Sussex best bitter. One of three real ales on my visit. Very good. Up steep stairs finds a roof terrace. Must be lovely on a warm sunny day / evening. Free wifi.”

“Food was excellent service was great and very quick. Pranay in particular was incredibly patient with us while ordering!”

“A lovely pub with friendly, attentive staff. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Nice and cosy seating areas didn't feel overlooked. Good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend a visit.”

“Tiago and Anna do a great job here. Community Skratch Music appreciates the opportunity every year to use the pub as the venue. Top marks”

“We were welcomed by the staff warmly, shown to a table and our drinks arrived promptly. The food was very good and very well presented. Two had the steak pie, delicious, two friends had the Bok Burger which looked fab and tasted great too! Our other friend had Thyme chicken breast, tender and tasty. We will definitely be back for more! Thank you all at The Barley Mow”

“Was here nearly two years ago and remembered the very friendly staff so sought it out when I visited again. Exactly the same; I’m not sure of the man’s name but he provides exemplary customer service.”

“Absolute Perfection: Top-Tier Coffee and Cake in Town!I stopped by Trading Post Coffee Roasters and can honestly say this is the best coffee experience I've had in ages. I ordered their classic pairing: a Flat White and a slice of Coffee Cake, and both were flawless.The Flat White was absolute liquid gold. It had perfectly extracted espresso with a deep, rich flavor, and the microfoam was silky smooth—a true sign of a skilled barista. It was the ideal temperature to savor right away.The Coffee Cake was the perfect companion. It was incredibly moist, packed with rich coffee flavor and spice, and had the most delicious crumb topping. It paired flawlessly with the bold coffee.Beyond the drinks and food, the atmosphere is fantastic—bustling but cozy, clearly a spot where people care deeply about the craft. If you're looking for genuinely top-notch coffee and baked goods, look no further. Five stars all the way!”

“Popped in for a quick pint. Very friendly welcome and a good pint. Comfortable surroundings with a mixture of tables and chairs and comfortable sofas. This seems to be a lively pub judging by the posters for bands and various events. There's also a garden for a sunny day.”

“I had a fantastic experience at Pizza Express on Lewes Road! From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. They really paid attention to every detail, ensuring everything was perfect from the service to the ambiance. The pizza itself was absolutely delicious – perfectly cooked with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The flavors were amazing, and it was clear they take pride in every dish they serve. Highly recommend this spot for both great food and exceptional service!”
