Where's good for Sunday lunch in Lewes these days? Ideally walking distance from the station as we are going to the Amex but if necessary we can drive. Kings Head in Southover, is that still a good place?

What about the Swan at Falmer, do they do Sunday lunches? I haven't been there since way before the Amex opened.

The Swan in Southover Street, Lewes is recommended. About 10 min walk from Lewes station. Worth booking though.
Lovely roast dinners on a sunday and a good pint.

We go to The Lewes Arms regularly for Sunday lunch. Good choice on the menu - most people have the roasts but other meals are available. Harveys always on - plus guest beers for those who don't like Lewes's finest. The staff are always friendly and it's generally not a hassle getting a table.

I've also heard The Swan at Southover is decent but not been there personally

Swan at Southover is really good. Think I've had all the meats (not at once) and all are lovely. The beef especially is good.

I've heard mixed things about The Real Eating Company (the name's stupid though) but Bills is for tiresome middle class wankers that have heard the name and don't know any better. Truly jumped the shark.

Big up for the Black Horse too. Great beer and good food. Also has a bus stop up the road straight to Falmer.

Pelham Arms down from St Anne's Church imho is trading on past glories and is not that great (and overpriced)

Sounds like the Swan is the place. Appropriate name, as well. Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll call them now.

You must of course have the car, but I too was going to recommend the Green Man at Ringmer, but please book if it is to be a weekend.

Reckon there's a major killing to be made for the first pub to offer full-on sunday lunches on days other than sunday. Sort of sunday lunch equivalent of the all-day breakfast.
