The Bull on the Green in Lewes

Had pleasant drinks and food order taken outside...but...nobody came to get us for our meal so we went to table and told them! Asked for wine list no one came to take order...food began to arrive in stages (there were 5 of us) asked again to take wine order...and again...we tried to eat slowly as no wine arrived,finally one of us went to bar to ask was met with 'well you can see we're busy' ...wine arrived when we had eaten all but a couple of bites...sent it back unopened.Shame as food was excellent, service let the kitchen down.

The three stars are for the food - which was very good. The menu seems much reduced compared to years gone by. What did let the place down was the poor level of service. Staff were young and not that interested in providing anything like an acceptable level of table service. Innattentive, poor awareness, no eye-contact and lacklustre would be the good points. There was no manager to be seen conducting and overseeing the service. An excellent building let down by an amateurish set-up. It seems the place appears to be run on a shoestring, with staff more interested in gossiping to one another or dancing to the 'music' than serving the customers. Another indication was that empty glasses were not removed from our table in a timely manner and cutlery not replaced between courses. A table outside had empty glasses on it when we arrived, they were still there 2 hours later when we left - and the place was not even busy! Seriously thinking twice about going there again. Poor show.

Very comfortable accommodation for a couple of nights while working away from home. Great hospitality and delicious food on the menu, good breakfast too. Nice village location.

Really lovely country pub! The food was great, the staff were friendly, the pub itself was really well decorated, loved the low ceiling. You do have to park around the back, but it's well signaled for qhere to go. Definitely recommend!

Very disappointing. what is a beautiful old English pub, is totally spoilt by poor quality tables and modern chairs. Zero charm. Poor quality food, arrived looking unappealing, microwaved, zero presentation. Loud inappropriate music, I heard someone ask if the staff could either change or turn off the music... only to be met by a disdainful look from a member of staff who frankly couldn't care less.The Bull deserves much much more.

Very disappointed. I hadn't been for over 20 years so was looking forward to it. Minor point initially but the furniture seemed out of place: modern style in an old style. One wine glass was not properly clean and whilst drinking a Diet Coke I noticed my glass had lipstick on it which I particularly dislike! The staff member apologised but didn't seem to think that it was that big a thing. Food was OK but microwaved. Staff were amenable but very young and lacked support. The establishment needed a mature, experienced manager to oversee things and provide gravitas.

A very old pub with low ceilings and lots of character. The food was fine but didn't really hit the right spot at the time. Service was good and friendly.

A lovely pub with a warm and cozy atmosphere. There was a big party on the day we went so we were sat at the back of the dining area and once the mains had come out we were somewhat forgotten about. I can't really blame the staff though as they were run off their feet and were still polite and friendly when seeing to us. The food was good and of ample portion size, overall a good experience and I would definitely visit again if I'm ever back in the area.

We came here after going on the nearby steam train. It's a nice looking place and is looking very festive at this time of year. Staff were helpful, if not overly friendly.The food was fine but the adult portions seemed quite small for the price, especially the venison stew and the salmon. The burger was a decent size but was fairly no-frills for £14.The kids food was great, both the pizza and bolognese were devoured very happily.We had plenty of space, which is always a blessing when trying to eat out with kids.

Had one of the best roast dinners in a long time. Roast breast of chicken with all the trimmings - so tasty and good size portions. Huge Yorkshire pudding. Could have done with a few more veggies and not cheap at over £14 but well worth it for the taste. Great service too - quick, pleasant and efficient.
