The Brewers Arms — Restaurant in Lewes

Everyone local raves about this place, so of course I tried it out. I see nothing special, the food is nothing to write home about. It is fine, it fills you up it tastes ok, but to be honest it's hardly worth the trip or the price.

It is worth noting that I payed £16 for the disgusting lasagna and a mediocre drink. A rip off!

Could not recommend less! There are so many wonderful pubs in Lewes, so many better options. Don’t...
