So it doesn't take Einstein to work out where this establishment got its name from. Its a really…read moreimpressive pub set at the foot of Lewes' chalk pits that they used to mine in the 18th Century. Its about a mile outside of Lewes so its a little bit quieter than some of the places in town but I think that's great now and again when you want to get away from it all and just take in some beautiful surroundings. The food is all home-cooked pub grub, not too many frills and fancies but its reasonably priced and really tasty. There's some nice beers on tap that I would highly recommend you enjoy in the beer garden which is actually set in the chalk pit itself!

The Chalk Pit Inn is one of those pubs with that little bit more, than just good food or beers. Set…read morewithin the disused chalk pit, you certainly get a unique location to enjoy a pub lunch or a pint. Be warned that you will need a car to get to it, as it is far enough out of town (on the road to Haywards Heath). The pub has a rustic feel and a timeless quality that you seem to get at country establishments. They have a nice range of ales on tap and serve staple pub grub. Whilst the pub is on the edge of a busy road, the gardens are set back in the actual pit and this makes fora lovely location for a summer lunch. Keep in mind that the pub does have limited daytime opening hours during the week, but on weekends this won't be a problem. If you are in Lewes, it's only a 5 minute drive and a nice break from hectic weekend shoppers.

This place is great!!! The location is cute, and the building is unique with character. You can…read moretell that people really enjoy coming here. They have typical British pub food. I ordered cheesy bread and the shepherds pie. Oh my goodness... both were incredible!!! It was a weirdly cold day when I went, so the food was not only delicious but also very comforting. Coming here is a good time.

A great, slightly quirky, traditional pub in a great Sussex village…read more You won't find Chiddingly by accident - it's off a narrow lane off the A22, between Lewes and Eastbourne. The village itself dates back to Domesday and has a fine mediaeval church (worth a visit while there). In fact, the village has 55 entries in the listed building guide, so there's more than enough history to occupy the most hardened tourist before retiring to the pub for refreshment. The pub building dates back to 1774 (and possibly earlier) and is a Grade II listed building; the frontage of blue and red bricks looks suitably traditional, and through the front door there is a main bar area to the left and a wonderful snug room (with a huge fireplace) to the right. The interior is all wooden beams and stone floors, with a bar serving a good selection of real ales and generous portions of traditional pub grub, all with friendly bar staff. (NB The food is popular, so be prepared to wait at busy periods). Towards the rear of the pub, the walls are festooned with old pictures and photographs, and a motorcycling theme predominates: it is a well-known meeting place for bikers, and there's a club board by the back door giving details of events, runs, etc. Outside is a large garden, with lots of seating. The rear of the pub is decorated with old enamel advertising signs, covering every subject imaginable. Also at the back is the large, surfaced car park - perfect for rows of shiny (or, in my case, not so shiny) motorbikes. If all that wasn't enough, the pub also host a fortnightly folk and blues club (http://www.6bellsfolk.co.uk ) as well as its biker meets. Oh, and on my last visit, my mate and I (on our bikes) opted for 2 pints of soda and lime to quench our thirst, with a couple of packets of crisps. It came to £1.80. How great it is, not to feel ripped off with outrageously priced soft drinks! (Next time, though, I'll get someone else to drive so I can sample the real ales...)

Well-known gastro-pub in an idyllic countryside setting, close to the slopes of the South Downs…read more The hamlet of East Chiltington is situated at the end of a small lane, and can be a little tricky to find. Once there, the path to the front door is lined with a dense 'hedge' of lavender, providing an aromatic and sensual welcome. Very clever... Although I'm not a fan of gastro-pubs generally, I'll make an exception here, partly because it's still quite a nice pub despite the emphasis on food (although the space inside for drinking only is a bit limited), and partly because the setting is so peaceful. They do a couple of well-kept and reasonably priced interesting real ales (served straight from the barrel), several local ciders and they have very extensive wine and whisky lists. It's possible to have a light snack rather than go for the full-on dining experience: the 'Blackboard Menu' has smaller dishes between £4 and £10, including a five-cheese Ploughman's lunch for £8.45. The full menu is more expensive, but is highly regarded - expect to pay about £40-£50 a head, including wine, for three courses. A fixed-price lunch menu is popular with business types, at £15.95 for three courses. The web-site gives lots of detail on the food. The atmosphere is a combination of rustic setting and professional service: I found the staff willing, knowledgeable and friendly. There's both a terrace (at the rear) for dining and small garden at the front (dining only at lunchtimes). The only quirk I didn't understand is that they specify exactly what you are allowed (and not allowed) to eat in the garden, on the menu. The area has a dense network of public footpaths through varied countryside, if you want to walk off your indulgence afterwards...
