The Pelham Arms - (Near East Sussex, South East)

jemma willis 1st time trying this new Japanese in lewes. We arrived at 8pm on a sunday. The food was incredible. Fresh and good portions. One of the most authentic Japanese meals we have had. The atmosphere is chilled, and the decor is authentic for Japanese restaurants. Simple and stylish. The waitress was so lovely and we chatted after the meal and even though we were late eating and they were closing, we never felt rushed at all. We also got complimentary mochi which was so kind of them. We will definitely be back regularly.

Caroline Pepper Tom our waiter, was wonderful right from the initial greeting. We came for lunch with our baby, & our friends with two small kids also joined us. Tom was really thoughtful re the childrens needs, e.g. high chairs, offered to put pram in a safe place, he was just very warm & kind, and patient! Also - food was Delicious, recommend the calzone campagna. Grazie a tutti. Will be back!

Dominic Fountaine This is by far the best and most authentic Thai food I have experienced in the UK! My wife is half Thai and has lived there and even she was amazed at some of the dishes available here that we havent found anywhere else except Thailand itself. Its a BYOB, which we didnt mind at all. There is a corkage fee but it wasnt over the top by any means. The staff were lovely and were very quick to accommodate anything we asked for, including things like providing small bowls so we could share a larger soup like a starter and other random requests. If you are a fan of Asian food or especially Thai food and can get over to this restaurant I cannot recommend it enough! The venue is small, however, so its best to book in advance as theres no guarantee you could get a table otherwise.

Juliette McKay Super nice and generous staff, great atmosphere, food is to die for!! 100% recommend!! :)

Angie Oakwood Couldn’t have asked for a friendlier welcome at this pub. Went with a few friends after a long walk it was it was perfect. Really nice atmosphere, great service and brilliant Sunday roast. And all on a day when they were short staffed. Will definitely return next time I’m in Lewes.

Iain Solly Amazing craft beer spot. Lovely burgers and tacos. Fish tacos, veggie, steak and pork. Outside in the summer is amazing. The beer garden faces due west so you get sun all afternoon. Beer is amazing, I absolutely love this place!
