Bella Cafe - (Near Islington, South East)

MADDOGLEP I think this must be fairly new as I have no recollection of this pub / restaurant. Thomas Paine has strong local connections, unlike Casta and Madge. He helped inspire the American revolutionary war and almost lost his head in the French one. Silly so and so. I had another Harveys Sussex best bitter. One of three real ales on my visit. Very good. Up steep stairs finds a roof terrace. Must be lovely on a warm sunny day / evening. Free wifi.

Lee Bowler This is a beautiful old pub that serves excellent beers and the best pizza you will find anywhere around here (Pats Pizza). The bar staff are very much on the ball, welcoming, knowledgeable, kind and funny. I’ve now made this my local as a newbe to Lewes. The front bar is small and cosy AF but there is loads of space at the back bar and in the fire place room. They also have an upstairs and a great terrace at the back for times of good weather. This is a must spot if you are coming to Lewes.

Mary López De Ricaurte Today, I delighted in having a fantastic passion for fruit juice and a delicious buñuelo. The service is excellent, very friendly, the food is spectacular and a very good atmosphere. Highly recommended, I felt at home.

Elisabetta Ferrazzi Love this place! Food is great, good portions and the team is so friendly, caring. Even the owners are amazing. They offered a proper handmade limoncello to die for! The limoncello tiramisu… oh my! So good! Keep it up guys you’re great!

Rosa Yates I live 1 minute down the road from curry cottage yet didn’t know about it and I am so annoyed I didn’t find about about it sooner because the food is amazing!! Really well priced curry’s for how amazing they are! If you live near you it’s worth picking up the food as it is cooked so quickly and they give you a free beer or soft drink if you pick up. Couldn’t recommend it more

Roskherin roskherin We accidentally stumbled upon this small, authentic Korean restaurant and it turned out to be such a pleasant surprise. The menu isn’t extensive, but honestly that just shows how focused and well-done the food is. We ordered the bibimbap, sundubu jjigae, and bulgogi, and every single dish was delicious. The bibimbap was comforting and flavorful, the sundubu jjigae was perfectly rich and warming, and the bulgogi was tender, juicy, and full of savory goodness. Simple place, big flavors. One of those hidden gems you’re really glad you didn’t walk past.
