Brilliant local pub. Liz the landlady joined us for a round of Cards Against Humanity. Pool, darts, and more. Fab.

Terrible pub. Slow service. Barely any tables. Ran out of Guinness at 6pm on a Saturday. Clueless business management.

Landlord Assaults Women Two female friends and I went into this pub for a drink on Friday December 1st 2023. I was posing for a picture with some inflatable penguins that were part of the Christmas decoration display. As I turned away, the landlord, a man in His mid-50s, kicked me hard in the backside. When I turned to ask him what he was doing, he told me he was the landlord and seemed proud to have kicked me. He did not apologise or seem at all sorry for kicking me. My friends and I left soon afterwards, feeling shaken. We genuinely were not expecting, having gone in for a drink and a little dance, for one of us to be kicked. We felt that if there had been a man in our group that this would not have happened. It felt misogynistic, it felt really odd and it absolutely ruined our night. We were not rowdy, drunk or destructive. The landlord seems unhinged: he is willing to physically assault paying customers. I can only wonder how long the pub will remind in his hands, as he behaves this way. Women, I advise you only go in here with a man. Or, probably best, don't go in at all. There are so many great and atmospheric pubs in Lewes, where women can go without the fear of being kicked. Avoid.

One of my favourite pubs in Lewes. Staff are friendly, beer is good & has a good rotation, food is good. Shows sports, has toads & pool for games. All in all a great pub to

Unpretentious and friendly pub next to the castle with well kept beer and decent food. Plenty of on street parking and perfect for soaking up a bit of British culture !

Proper boozer with superb ales and enthusiastic staff. We had to extend our QA season just to be sure.... Of course!This one should definitely be on your 'to visit list'.

An ordinary-looking pub from the outside but a very friendly and lively place inside, great bar food and well kept beer!

Slightly out of the centre but it was serving food on 2nd Jan when everyone in the centre was an hour's wait.

Slow service, £12 for jacket potato with beans, 1/4 tin of beans on top. Dreadful
