Recommended to book in advance as it's reputation ensures a busy restaurant. Food is very tasty. Would recommend virtually anything on the menu. The homemade stonebaked pizzas are A-maz-ing! Food isn't cheap, but i didnt think it was expensive either. It was well worth the money. Roasts look incredible, I didn't have one myself. There is a couple of climbing frames and swings for the kids. So they can run around and leave you to enjoy the good and vast drinks on offer. I will be going back

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!

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.

Its a nice old family run boozer so you can always have a bit of banter with the locals or just sit and listen while they moan about the price of booze and fags going up etc. They serve a mean pint of Harvey's here and always have a few guest ales on the go. The wine list isn't bad but could probably do with a few more high-end brands available. The food is reasonable but they do put too many things on the menu instead of concentrating on a few things and cooking them with a bit of flair. I had a very nice gammon, egg and chips though and it was only £8.50.

It is your…read morequintessential English pub with low ceilings, wooden beams and a roaring fire - is there a better place to wile away the hours on a cold January afternoon? They have an extensive menu featuring an array of British classics. However, on this occasion, it had to be a roast. They only offered lamb or beef. I went for lamb and I have to say it was a pretty good effort (and I'm a tough critic when it comes to Sunday roasts). The meat was tender and tasty, the spuds were good, and we even got a Yorkshire pud (bonus point here!). Only complaints were that it could have been slightly hotter and the veg selection (carrots, cabbage, cauliflower cheese) could have been a little more extensive. However, the real star here was the pudding menu. An extensive list of all those classics that bring back memories of your childhood - apple pie, rhubarb crumble, treacle tart, ginger pudding, banoffee pie, cheesecake...the list was endless, how on earth is a girl to chose! In the end I plumped for treacle tart, and although not as good as my Nan's (it was never going to be), it was certainly devine. My friend was struggling with her rhubarb crumble, and being the great mate I am I was quick to intervene to help her out - deliciously sweet and crunchy topping complimenting the tart rhubarb (I'm dribbling again!) The staff were really friendly and offered us an alternative table as they were concerned that the one we had booked would be too cramped. I would advise that you book as it gets really busy here, particularly on a Sunday. If you do over-indulge on those delicious puddings, there is a great circular walk you can do to experience the Sussex countryside as well as burning of a few of those excess calories!

Its a beautiful oak beamed free house that has featured in the Good Beer guide for two years running due to the fact the cellar is so well kept. The Harvey's in here is so good! The food is fantastic and they change the menu on a pretty regular basis depending on what fresh produce they get in. I tried the wild boar pate which was such a treat to the taste buds. For main I would suggest the sirloin steak - order it nice and rare as the flavour is mouth watering. Do phone and book though as it does get very busy indeed most nights.

Everything about it was home-made, from the meaty burger, to the chunky cole slaw and fresh ketchup. There is a bar menu and a restaurant too, so you can do casual or something a little more planned.
