A friendly shop that my son thought was actually someone's house.

This place is a real gem. It's a cosy restaurant with the most extensive menu i have ever come across. The food is exceptional and the service, friendly and economic. My wife's a vegetarian and very rarely satisfied by the choice of veg dishes on offer. Here she was spoilt for choice for a change!

A fantastic old fashioned pub selling the best pint of Harveys (brewed in Lewes). Situated in the castle precincts, it recently made the news as the locals boycotted the place for months until Harveys was restored (it had been replaced by Greene King - boo).
You can play the local game - 'Toad in the Hole' - they also have some incredible competitions like the world pea throwing championships!
Lewes Arms, sort of opposite Dilraj, Lewes
Bentley wildfowl and motor museum is a wildfowl and motor museum which is a great place for kids to visit. It is not very crowded, and there are loads of interesting and cool cars to look at, as well as some beautiful birds. Some of the cars are really old, and they also have some racing cars. There are loads of model cars and car books, some of which are for sale. There are also some people who do different crafts like glass etching and a man who makes model boats. You can watch them doing their craft, and the glass etching lady even let me have a go. At the shop they sell loads of great postcards and they sell birdseed for feeding the birds. There is a huge restored mansion that you can go and look at, but the bit I found most interesting was the cars!
