Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lewes

Each time we come, it’s a delight. Staff members are caring and lovely, the place is really nice and the food is just amazing. Thank you very much that was spot on.

Our second visit to Fork didn’t disappoint! A real gem of a restaurant with excellent food, attentive and friendly service coupled with good value! The fixed menu @ £39.50 provided a diverse set of choices to suit all palates cooked in an open-plan kitchen on full display to the diners. As a wine nerd it was also fantastic to take advantage of a £15 corkage fee which is extremely reasonable. I had scallops in a celeriac purée to start, pork tenderloin with pancetta and then an apple pie to finish. All superbly cooked and presented. We will most definitely be back!

We enjoyed our Xmas Eve lunch, service and ambience great, food was good, particularly the desserts - bit disappointed with my gluten free yorkshire puddings which were a bit dense and stodgy. I make them at home so I know they can be light and fluffy, however I was pleased to be offered them at all as many restaurants don’t. Drinks are a little more expensive here than you might expect but extensive choice. Overall experience was very good, love the location at the foot of the downs, and look forward to a return visit.

We were served by a lovely lady at the bar who was taking all the orders on her own, who I think was quite new to the job or to recent changes to the menu maybe. I felt for her having no support. She was very apologetic for any delay in taking orders and I could see it upset her that she couldn’t do her job to her full potential. But she certainly gave it her all. One guy seemed to bring the food to the tables and I didn’t see any other waiting staff. They were both really lovely friendly people. And it didn’t affect our visit. But I did feel they could have done with another pair of hands to support them. The food was lovely. The kids burgers were a good size and a nice quality meat. The pub itself is cosy and friendly. We will return. Thanks.

Beautiful steak and top class service ,so glad to see the new owners constantly improving and very pleased the restaurant is always busy and supported x
