The Lewes Road Inn is a neighbourhood pub at 158 Lewes Road in Brighton. It combines drinks, events and table dining in a relaxed setting popular with residents, students and groups meeting along this busy route into the city.
The current kitchen focuses on generously filled burgers and pizzas. Wings and other smaller dishes suit sharing, while a dedicated pie menu adds a more traditional pub option for diners wanting something hearty.
Sunday roasts extend the food offer into the weekend, and a children’s menu makes family visits straightforward. Waffles, desserts and locally made gelato provide a sweet finish after the savoury menu.
Regular food deals pair selected dishes with drinks and keep the pub useful for an informal midweek meal. Bookable tables and a lively social atmosphere make The Lewes Road Inn equally suited to a quick bite or a longer gathering with friends.
