Rustico Neapolitan (Lewes) - (Near East Sussex, london)

ST Third time here and just amazing. Simply one of the best meals Ive ever had and great to have somewhere I can really recommend. Staff, ambience, food, drinks and facilities all brilliant. Having seen previous reviews that knocked the fish and chips and the pork belly, we decided to risk it and see for ourselves and we couldnt disagree more. The Pork belly meal was flawless and the fish and chips were lovely. Some of the best chips weve ever had and the fish definitely wasnt all batter. Its debatable over how good the fish is but thats the personal preference, but it was very good. The Chicken Milanese was brilliant and we love the Jolly Ginger mocktails. Dessert wise, again, we thought they were excellent. I must say however the crumble isnt quite to my liking due to the cluster type of crumble, but again this is more personal preference, but definitely had enough filling inside though it is very hot, so I do recommend leaving it to cool down a bit first. We will definitely be back and so far everything has been very consistent and I would definitely recommend going and seeing for yourself.and if things arent to your liking, mention it at the time as I can assure you the food is very good and you may have just got unlucky.

Robin Rudwick We went to Fish Friday at the Kings Head. Great service. The fish was excellent. Between us we had a whole, stuffed sea bream and a lemon sole for mains, plus pil pil prawns (I think) and oysters for starters. We overdid the sides with chips plus smashed potatoes and a green veg.

RJS An amazing evening and dinner service at this great little gem in Lewes. The team were attentive, the food was stunning and we had a lovely time post meal in the bar too, following a chat with the head chef who was clearly passionate about creating a fabulous experience. We can’t wait until our next visit and we will be dreaming about the gnocchi!

David Villars Late booking for a Sunday roast and the staff couldnt have been better, even accommodating our dog who needed a bowl for their dinner. Huge portions and very tasty. Friendly staff, quick and attentive, plenty of menu choice and lots of free parking.

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.

David K Fantastic! Love the friendliness and warm welcome of the staff. The service is excellent. The food is superb and has some modern alternate dishes as well as the traditional ols school Indian dishes. The restaurant itself is modern and classy. Highly recommend.
