Somewhere to eat - Lewes Road

WATFORD zero · Apr 14, 2016

Wanted to meet my son for dinner tomorrow before the match. He lives near the Franklin Arms on Lewes Road and despite being Brighton born and Bred I can't think of a single place round that way where we could get a sit down meal and a bottle of wine. Any suggestions ?

The fox on the downs ( old winner) at the top of Elm Grove does great food. Then you can use racehill park and ride &#55357;&#56397;

If you travel to Lewes plenty of places to eat and travel back to Amex much less queueing than from west.

This. Lewes Road is takeaway central and there's not much there (there are three restaurants at the bottom of Elm Grove - an Italian, Chinese and Indian but the latter two aren't great)

The Reservoir does excellent Thai food. It's on Howard Road, at the bottom of Elm Grove. Some lovely beers, too.

'Wrong Direction' lives opposite the Franklin :ohmy:

I'm sure he could rustle up some beans on toast (not necessarily on the same plate tho) :moo:

I could bring down a nice New Zealand's Finest

No, it's been replaced by the Italian gaff I mentioned earlier. Not been to the Italian but the Turkish place was rather good. The fish and chip shop near there is excellent though ... but no good for a sit-down meal

big shame as it was a decent place for a posh kebab

in which case you're struggling for decent lewes road places....give london road a go

I also live a minute away from the Franklin Pub, just up the hill from it. The Turkish place was brilliant, shame it closed down and so has the Italian place! It's currently being turned into a sit-down Indian restaurant. The shop next door is now a cafe, looks nice but I prefer greasy spoon cafes.

Hell it has ... it was only open for a few months. That's the shortest lived business I've ever heard of

Poor fella is just round the corner from me too.
As regards the question, I haven't found anything that I'd recommend, although they're not too far away from Bardsley's.

Try Carlito Burrito at St Peters . A mexican. Great food.

Think The China Kitchen still has the same sign, floor covering TV and staff it had when I lived that way in 1979. Is Beavers Nest still going?

CHAPPERS · Apr 14, 2016

Grubbs.

Not too far from the Park Crescent which does a jolly decent steak.

Not that keen on the Badger beers myself but if you're after vino then I'm sure you'd be well catered to
