The Pelham Arms, Lewes

We love this place.

Okay my partner and I have friends in Lewes who we visit every now and again, the first time a few years ago we visited this pub before it was taken over by the current management. It was a dump, the worst decor i've ever seen, the food was rubbish it was a stinking old man pub.

We went back recently and our friends suggested visiting again, we thought they were kidding, but the place has been transformed, it looks amazing, the staff are friendly and pay attention to everyone now ( not just the 'regulars'), the food is excellent, great range of drinks and a really lovely atmosphere.

I get the impression from the few negative reviews below that some of the 'regulars' have had their nose pushed out of joint by change, which is a shame because this is a truely great pub, and we'll be back again.
