Rose & Crown

Contemporary pub in the heart of Lewes. The place is lively and energetic with an active bar scene featuring multiple big screen TVs. The food is very gòod, but the service is inconsistent. We waited several minutes for the hostess to acknowledge us and once we were seated, it took forever for our drinks to arrive. That said, our server was very nice, hard working and apologetic. Our other courses arrived in a reasonable period of time. We started with the bacon wrapped scallops. The scallops were tender and tasty and blended well with the crispy, salty bacon. My wife had the burger which was delicious and cooked perfectly. I had the chicken picatta which also was tender, tasty and was an appropriately sized portion including 2 sides of rice and mixed vegetables. We shared the key lime pie for dessert. It was sweet, creamy and mouth watering and had a wonderful crunchy crust. Overall, a pretty good dining experience, but could be better with a little faster, consistent service.

The atmosphere Is very English Pub. It’s a popular spot, especially during the summer, so expect it to be busy.

We ordered a variety of small plates and cocktails. The cocktails were good. The food was ok. A few dishes lacked flavor. If you plan to go, definitely make a reservation.

We sat in the main dining room, which gets very loud. Especially as the beer and cocktails start flowing.

Great wait staff, perfect lighting. The dining room is clean The food is always fresh and good. The prices are fair for today's economy. This a favorite for us.
