SMASH BONES - (Near Islington, london)

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!

ziang Guo We ordered a lot of skewers and honestly, everything was solid. The lamb skewers had the perfect fat-to-lean ratio — juicy, tender, and not dry at all. The grilled smelt was lightly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with roe, very satisfying. Tofu skin rolls are always my go-to, and these were fragrant and great for cutting through all the meat. I’m usually sensitive to offal, but the grilled kidneys had zero smell and were surprisingly flavourful. The lamb chops are a must-order. The portion was huge, the meat tasted fresh and natural (not overly marinated), with crispy edges and a tender inside — pure lamb flavour. One surprise highlight was the small pot beef rice noodles. The beef was generous, the broth rich and comforting, and it paired perfectly with the BBQ.

Vince Tersegno Authentic Italian food with a good selection. Homade tagliatelle is delicious. Owner is very friendly and accommodating.

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.

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

Tom Leon Always banging flavours, proper juicy meat, and the freshest ingredients every single time. You can taste the quality straight away, portions are spot on, prices are fair, and the service is always top tier. The boys there know what they’re doing real graft, real flavour. My go to spot in London, hands down. Shout out to Ozan who looked after my meal today!
