Elephant and Castle Lewes East Sussex

Welcome

The Elephant and Castle pub is a well established Lewes venue, built in 1838. Taken over in March 2007 by Declan and Huw, the pub is slowly being repainted and broken bits mended, with more improvements in the pipeline.

The downstairs rooms allow clientele to play pool and table football (a proper, open topped Bonzini), watch sports on various big screens, or just relax in one of the quieter corners. Recently, a pleasant outdoor patio area has been built, allowing customers to take in the brief glimpses of sunshine available in the British summer.

Upstairs is a high ceilinged function room available for hire at nominal charge, or free to local and charity organisations. Refreshments can be arranged, from tea and biscuits to buffets and sit down meals.

Huw and Declan have got the pub in the hallowed pages of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide for the last four years and have good relations with the CAMRA organisation.

Harveys Best Bitter is stocked all year round alongside, currently, Hobgoblin and Deuchars IPA. Also available at the moment is Old Rosie, a traditional hand pump cider from Westons.

The Elephant and Castle boasts one of the largest ranges of draught lagers in Lewes, with Heineken, Kronenbourg, Stella Artois, Becks Vier, Carling and Fosters all available.

Food is served from 12.00midday to 2.30pm and 5.00pm to 8.30pm Monday to Thursday, 12 middday to 2.30pm Friday, and 12 till 5 Saturday and Sunday. The Famous Ellyburgers are still available and are still homemade with the same locally sourced, beef that they always have been.

The Elephant and Castle is proud to be home to the Commercial Square Bonfire Society, and if you have any queries regarding the society please feel free to contact us.
