Netwerks, 4 Fisher St, LewesI found The Sip through Google search. It's a cozy lovely place. Breakfast was good. I had the small English and I am full! I like the vibes here as the guy who looks after the guests makes everyone feels welcome, including the dog. It's a pet friendly place too☺️.

Big fish
7 Fisher St, LewesI have never been able to shake the nagging feeling that sushi could be improved solely by the addition of one thing, chips. Thank god I no longer have to wonder as Alex and Lilly have bravely answered the age old question: what if a sushi restaurant was also a chippy. Extremely happy to have found this unlikely yet superb establishment. Not only can it's sushi compare with the best restaurant fare but it's an honest to god proper chippy as well, down to the pickled eggs. The food speaks for itself and Alex and Lilly are as cordial as local businesses owners come. Go and see for yourself, I implore you.

A great old pub with excellent beer and really friendly staff (the landlord used to run the falcon in Clapham junction and does terrible jokes). Beer was very well cared for. We may move down to Lewes just because of this pub. Ok, maybe not, but it’s great.

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 Bull
The Green, Newick, LewesFirstly, before I had got to the hotel, I was being messaged by a scammer who had my booking details and my phone no, wanting me to pay for the room again. I mailed both Agoda and the hotel, but have still not had a reply, as why they had my details..!
Room was lovely, warm, clean, quiet. Afternoon and evening staff very polite and helpful. Our 2 evening meals were very good, tasty and value for money, the beer choice was very good.
Now the bad part, on both days the breakfast service was appalling. On the Saturday we had a taxi booked for 8.30am, the food came out in drubs and drabs, I managed to get some bacon and sausage, my partner had to take food away to eat, as our taxi had arrived.
On the Sunday, despite complaining the previous evening, the standard was worse. A group near us ate most of the breakfast (see photo) leaving little for us to eat. The waiter managed to cook 2 sausages and 2 toast for us, but evidently there was no bacon left and he couldn’t cook anything else…

The Dorset
22 Malling St, LewesStayed one night while trekking the South Downs Way. We felt it was an excellent value and a very fair price for our accommodations. Enjoyed a hearty dinner, comfy room, and a light breakfast before continuing on our trek the next day. The small staff was very busy tending the bar, serving dinner, and running the hotel, but they could not have been kinder or more attentive. We had a medical emergency with one of our party, and we inadvertently forgot to leave our room key on checkout. When we called to ask about paying to replace it, or mail it back, they offered to drive to our next hotel and retrieve the key, no charge. They also found a bag that had been left behind by one of our party, and they made sure to deliver it early the next day, when they came to retrieve the key. Amazing service! So glad we were able to stay at the Dorset, they made us feel welcome and really went above and beyond.

Caffè Nero
61B, 62 High Street, LewesI know there are some reviews regarding it not being perfectly clean, but this is Lewes and what goes in any city as normal would be frowned upon here by the Lewes Gentry. That's Lewes for you. A bit sniffy. A bit Amandaland (a lot, Amandaland, actually). I'm surprised that they come to Cafe Nero in the first place tbh.
The staff are happy, lovely, and the coffee is really good. I come every week and have done for a while now and it's my favourite Cafe Nero, though I live, and am in, the centre of Brighton each day. It's here that I like to come, and as I'm in Lewes most weeks, this is my preferred coffee shop.
It's staffed by young people, so you get what goes with that; great coffee like they really know their coffee, young outlook like they are excitedly setting out on their lives, and a little grubbiness that gets overlooked maybe, which goes with youth. It's the perfect place to make you feel that the world might actually be OK after all.
Just understand the vibe and you'll get it.
Chill out Lewes folk. Try and embrace the charm of the whole package.

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.
