Restaurants near The Dripping Pan

Warm and welcoming staff. Lovely atmosphere. Amazing food. We will definitely go back soon. However, disappointed at how rushed we were for this special birthday lunch. Their website states opening hours ad 12 pm to 10 pm giving the impression they are open all day. Our table was 2 pm and we were told the kitchen shut at 2.30. We had to rush to order, including an order for desert before we had eaten the mains. All food came together and the ice cream desert was delivered whilst we were still eating our lunch. When we asked for a drink to go with the desert we were refused as they said they were closed and started to clear up around us. It was a shame to be so rushed and whilst the food is excellent and good value for the quality and quantity, £105 in an hour felt expensive. However we will definitely be returning to this gem of a restaurant and will book a much earlier table to enjoy the food at a slower time pace. I strongly recommend the restaurant changes its opening hours on their website.

The attention of the staff was very good. The menu had a good selection and the Sunday roasts were as expected. The roast lamb was excellent. The desserts were good The cider and real ale were very well kept We will certainly be returning

Excellent all round as usual. Food, drink, location and staff all excellent.

Despite being Sunday lunch time and busy ,the service was prompt and very attentive. Lovely brunch main plates.

Staff and food always 10/10 at this Côte in Lewes
