Dill Restaurant
Found in the Michelin guide Dill Restaurant is great place for sharing dishes with an ever changing menu. It is one of our favourites - relaxed and friendly with a knowledgable serving team. Complimented by great wines and brews. A short walk from ours along the High Street
Squisito
Squisito is a predominantly Italian restaurant, with everything freshly made in-house. They serve delicious fresh pasta and excellent Neapolitan dishes, all beautifully presented and prepared in a warm, friendly atmosphere. The cocktails are also very good. It’s usually busy, so booking is essential.
Caccia & Tails
Modern casual dining where everything is homemade. On the menu is a regional style of Focaccia Genovese, which is eaten upside down to allow the salt to hit your tongue, a novel experience. Fresh and innovative Italian food.
Flint Owl Bakery
Flint Owl just opposite and a little up the hill from Montys Accommodation is a perfect place to either pick up a few croissants or speciality bread for breakfast. A great space place to relax and enjoy the wonderful breads, cakes, pastries, sausage rolls and savoury items, salads and quiche's with a cup of tea from Good and Proper Tea, or fine speciality coffee roasted by the prestigious Square Mile.
PUBS
The Lewes Arms
Our favourite Pub, The Lewes Arms. Just as a Pub should be - good beer, conversation, a friendly crowd, cosy and no fruit machines or TV. Famed for its fine food and drink, enormous charm and character. This lovely pub is more than 220 years old and is tucked away just off the high street.
The Swan
The Swan is a little pub with a big personality. It boasts great food made with love, vinyl only music policy & lots of other beautiful things that make a pub great. When the weather is fine there is beautiful garden to enjoy with planting very much embracing the English cottage garden aesthetic.
Wine Bars
No 34
Just up the hill from Montys is a great wine bar. A great selection of wine and fresh seasonal dishes. Everything is prepared at the large zinc counter which you can also sit at. The space is flooded with light by day and candlelight at night. Wild flowers on the tables and a great team very focused on making sure you have a lovely relaxed time.

Symposium Wine Emporium
A great place to enjoy a glass of wine or share a bottle. There is a large selection of wines to choose from. While there is a focus on Italy, there are lots of exciting wines to discover including some gems from obscure vineyards.
There is a corkage policy (Retail Price + £12/bottle) which offers a great value way to enjoy wine by the bottle, but if you’re popping in for a quick drink, we’re sure you’ll find something to enjoy on our ever-changing selection of wines by the glass.
White Hart Hotel
The White Hart Hotel. At last, a venue that fits Lewes and provides a great meeting place for friends and family. Either just a couple of drinks in the great new bar and lounge, of stay for lunch/dinner in the restaurant and enjoy the marvellous view of the South Downs.
