The Sip Lewes
Netwerks, 4 Fisher St, LewesFantastic little place to eat. Fantastic food, Fantastic staff and very dog friendly.
Obviously driven by passion, unlike many Chain eateries, my food looked as good as it tasted.
It’s a place I’d not noticed before when visiting Lewes, but I will definitely be back to try others from the menu.

Big fish
7 Fisher St, LewesPopped in Big Fish for the first time last night, had not had fish and chips for a long time and had a real ’hankering’. Was not sure what to expect but wanted to give it a try. So glad I did, was very, very good. Chips were great but the fish was fantastic. Crispy batter, that was not too thick, and a great sized piece of haddock. Big pots of curry sauce and mushy peas! They do have a bit of an identity crisis if you look at all of the different types of food that they sell but this experience has just made me want to try more of the menu. The lady who served was also really nice.

Food was delicious especially as we were able to replace the triple cooked chips with gratin potatoes. We only had the two course lunch menu but the desserts looked delicious as well but decided to pass this time. Service was excellent and the time between courses was ideal, coffee is really good and quite substantial. We rated this as a really good lunch in a lovely restaurant, thank you.

Cafe Ringmer
58 Springett Ave, Ringmer, LewesWe've just enjoyed another tasty meal at Ringmer Cafe, so they definitely deserve a positive review.
We had Eggs Benedict the first time, with everything earning 5 stars, as it was delicious, filling, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.
Tonight's meals of moussaka and scampi were just as well cooked and very tasty, with good portion sizes, as we were left feeling very satisfied but not uncomfortably full.
I can't comment on previous decor but the current atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing and I feel like I could easily enjoy several hours with a coffee, meal and dessert etc, if I could.
The service was very quick and well done both times with all staff being pleasant, welcoming and polite.

Cafe Ganges
72 Springett Ave, Ringmer, LewesAbsolutely Outstanding – A Go-To Spot!
Cafe Ganges,has consistently delivered an exceptional experience every time I order. Their tandoori dishes and butter chicken are absolutely stunning—packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Whether I’m dining in or ordering takeout, the quality remains top-tier.
The staff are incredibly polite, welcoming, and always friendly. Even when I order for delivery, the service is prompt, and the food arrives warm, well-packaged, and without any mess. That level of care really stands out.
I’ve also had the pleasure of dining in, and the experience was just as great. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the management personally greets guests, which adds a lovely personal touch.
On top of all that, the pricing is very reasonable—especially considering the location—and there’s plenty of parking available nearby, which makes it even more convenient.
They also serve halal meat which is much appreciated!
Highly recommend Cafe Ganges —great food, great people, and always a pleasure.

The radiator in our unsuited bathroom didn't appear to be working (however, we didn't report this to staff) and the mattress is probably due for replacing. However, the staff, atmosphere, quality of the food and drink, and the cleanliness more than made up for it. We are looking forward to going back the next time we plan to visit family in the area.

34 Lansdown Pl, LewesMe and my wife booked a table for dinner, both ordered a chicken massaman curry, one with sticky rice, the other with coconut rice. My wife is coeliac and they catered for her with no issues, she felt fine afterwards and the day after. Also bear in mind, they do only have benches, no chairs with backs, some benches are against walls though.
It was the best curry we've ever had, and we go to Thai restaurants everywhere we go, it was just incredible, we even ordered 2 more chicken massamans to take away for dinner the day after, if you're in Lewes and looking for somewhere to eat, eat here!

Ringmer Village Bakery
62 Springett Ave, Ringmer, LewesWorking for a local customer who bought me the bakery's doughnuts. They were far better than most of the big outlets produce. Properly light and fluffy with a proper filling of jam! I returned at lunchtime and purchased a BBQ chicken, coleslaw and cheese sandwich. £4.20 at this point in time. Hand cut thick bread with a lot of filling. It was more filling than any prepackaged shop sandwich. Unbelievable for such reasonably priced food that fed me for the day. Well done to all staff.

From the very beginning, Will has been an absolute dream to communicate with. He thought of every single detail imaginable, and truly made the planning process so easy and enjoyable. On the day, Will and the lovely team were absolutely incredible. From helping with decorations first thing, to clearing up at the end of the night- the whole team were truly outstanding.The beers, wine and cocktails were all delicious (of course!). The layout and organisation of the food truck, DJ, dancefloor, prosecco table etc were absolutely spot on, which honestly made our day perfect.
We are so grateful to you Will, and the rest of the team at Beak. Thank you for making our day so perfect- having our wedding day at your amazing taproom seriously is a dream come true.
