A great characterful pub within walking distance of Lewes High Street. Staff were friendly and polite. Great selection of drinks and food on offer, including from local breweries. It was a Sunday, so we had roast beef and roast pork, they were delicious, good quality ingredients, and the portion size was fantastic. We would recommend it to anyone, and will definitely be returning. The only thing I would suggest is that you don't charge customers for extra gravy that they may want, this should really be reflected in the price of the meal. We've been to many establishments, and this has never been the case.

Asked for Zinfandel Rose, got something like a dry Pino blush, couldn’t drink it, they said this was the only Rose they had. Asked for a pink gin instead, no didn’t have it so in the end had a lemonade. Asked for non alcoholic cider NO we asked if the did sandwiches NO We left and just asked for the drinks bill, one pint draft larger, one zero alcohol larger, coke and lemonade £20.25 what a joke, we were probably charged for the wine that we did not drink Main meals may be good but wouldn’t return to find out Drove out to Ringmer and found a great pub with lovely Plowman’s great price

Lovely friendly staff. Had particularly delicious fish and chips. The chips were the best we've had for a very long time.

Absolutely fabulous Sunday roast experience one of the best I've had in recent memory. Despite it being a busy, busy lunch service, the staff were all very attentive and positive. The cognac I had with dessert was even served on a tumbler of hot water! The vegetarian wellington was top notch as was the sticky toffee pudding. Great selection of local beers including lovely stuff on cask. Prices all very reasonable for 2023. We parked right across the road in the council office car park which is £1 Saturdays and free on Sundays. Worth going out of your way for a roast here, we will definitely be back, hopefully soon. Vegetarian options: Multiple vegetarian and vegan options available. Vegetarian wellington was excellent. Parking: Parking opposite in council car park, free at times including Sunday.

Was so happy to come into this pub and experience their amazing customer service. I was treated with care and their food was top notch! Thank you to the Pelham Arms! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
