"It was my birthday, and my other half booked a room at the Kings Head as a special treat as we wanted to have a look around Lewes. Their website showed numerous photos of the newly refurbished bedrooms, and they looked very nice. We checked the menu while we were on the site, and much of the food seemed to tapas related, but there was also burgers, steak, fresh fish and fish stew, so we knew there would be something decent to eat. The room, The Brighton, was as expected. Freshly decorated with a sumptuous bed, brand new carpet and a bathroom with underfloor heating and even a sauna! 5 stars all the way. However, when it came to dinner, we 'd booked a table but that was totally unnecessary as the place was almost empty at 7:30 which was odd as the had live music from 8 pm. On being given the menu, we soon found out why it was almost devoid of other customers. The first page of the menu was almost entirely tapas, then baguettes. The burger turned out to be a vegan burger, and there were no steaks, fresh fish or fish stew as promised. The online menu mentioned a specials board, but when my other half asked about that, the young barman looked at her though she were insane and said there was no such thing. They didn 't even have so much as a position of crisps available!We left and walked into town to find a decent pub with food and a soul. When we returned to the Kings Head around 10:30 that night, the live music was in full swing.... but the place was still virtually empty. We saw 3 people inside as we trudged passed on the rain towards out room. In summary, the rooms are stunning, but the whole food issue needs to be urgently addressed. The current menu maybe okay for lunchtime, but is poor in the extreme for evenings. Stay there by all means, but go to another pub to eat!!"

Extremely poor customer service for some business accommodation bookings. I sent a complaint by email last week and I've heard nothing back. Very poorly ran. Won't be booking here again.

Attractive modernised interior with old motorbikes. Decent pint of Harvey’s and nice garden with views of castle... But... Noisy extractor fan in garden, poor food and unwelcoming staff.

Nice staff, can’t fault. Only issue being that there was nobody adhering to social distancing. The owner was hugging people and prancing from group to group like a gazelle. Such a shame. The refit looks very nice. Hope the staff find somewhere more legal to work.

The Brighton Suite is newly refurbished and has a stunning view of the castle. It is comfortable and attractive with an excellent ensuite shower room with underfloor heating, plus sauna and shower. We felt an armchair, shelf by the basin and something to dull the very bright emergency light which kept us awake, would have made the difference between good and perfect! Voir le carte

Well, it all started when we came to the front door and the bar man was so unwelcoming he may as well of told us to leave before we entered. To say the least it was a disappointment. However the bar ladies was very nice. What a shame the barman’s unwelcoming behaviour overshadowed the bar lady wonderful customer service. It would a much better pub with out him in my opinion.

Had my daughters wedding reception here was amazing catered for all dietary requests they went over and above my expectations and very competitively priced extremely good value in my opinion I am glad I didn't see the previous review beforehand as it seems they had a very different opinion and I would have missed an amazing venue Thank you so much Penny and your amazing team for making our special day super special .

Beware of cancellation terms. Glyndeborne announced indoor performances so booked the kings head and glyndeborne. Glyndebourne cancelled but offered a performance two nights later. I booked the later night and requested to cancel the earlier night, but the owner would only agree to a refund if it was booked again by others. Everything took place within 3 weeks of the performance so not really enough time to sensibly take stock but there was no compromise. I was disappointed as a regular visitor to Lewes and Glyndbourne and we were making a 560 mile round trip to support Lewes and the Opera. This is the first ever negative review that I have ever written for Trip advisor or indeed any other s... Voir le carte

There are three rooms and the one we stayed in was recently decorated and extremely well appointed and comfortable. Large TV, deep standalone bath and excellent shower with plenty of water and three settings.Staff were friendly and helpful.The slight disappointment was the food, although to be fair I think that was due to a limited menu due to Covid so only three Tapas selections.My steak pie was really nice though and I’m sure it would be fine when everything is back up normal.For the same reason we couldn’t sample the bar but it was nicely decorated and quirky. Lewes itself is a sleepy little town, made even sleepier by the pandemic but has plenty of historical buildings and interesting pl...

We expressed our interest in using this as our wedding reception venue! we then spoke to the manger/owner who was rude and unhelpful! We wanted to go ahead with their wedding package despite this because of the location for our wedding guests but the owner made this seem much more difficult than it had to be and tried to charge us £2000 above what the package price stated because we had 50 guests, she told us we had to have exclusive use, even tho the package states for 50 people we didn’t need exclusive use! They then back tracked and told us we didn’t have to pay the extra £2000 but we’re not aloud music! I’m not sure what venue can offer a wedding package without any kind of music celebra...
