Food Scene

​Perched above the Pevensey Levels next to the village church and standing between Herstmonceux Castle and Pevensey Castle, this 16th Century former coaching Inn now extends a warm welcome to both locals and travellers. James Braxton, BBC antiques expert and family bought The Lamb Inn in 2012, which is run by his sons Charlie & Ned, who with vinyl records and log fires create the warm ambience. The team in the kitchen is led by the youngest Braxton, Annie, who is passionate about using local seasonal ingredients. Great Pub for drinks and food. Worth booking though as can get busy.

The Ram Inn has been at the heart of the vibrant farming community of Firle for over five hundred years. The rambling old brick and flint building has three main rooms, each with its own open fire lit every day between October and April. Whilst our splendid flint-walled garden is perfect for a peaceful summer supping under the greengage trees.

A lovely little cafe right on the sea front. Great for breakfasts or lunches after (or before) a walk on the beach or promenade if the tide is in. Fish and Chips there are a solid favourite and served all day.
