• Join a bonfire society - a great way to meet people. Find out which is to be your local society and sign up. If they are over subscribed then I recommend South Street Bonfire Society which welcomes members from all parts of town and likes people to get involved in all aspects of the run up to the night itself. (Google the society..)


• Careful Friendofyours, some people on this forum take exception to people criticising their favourite restuarants ;)
  But seriously, I'd recommend The Swan for good value no nonsense pub food, Sunday lunches and good beer garden, Lewes Arms for excellent burgers (had one a couple of hours ago!), Chuala's or Shinaz for Indian, Lazattis for Italian (although haven't been for a while; sounds like I may need to reappraise it!),South Street for good fish&chips, Caburn Tea Room for tea&cakes. All in my humble opion of course. Can't think of a non-pub 'down to earth restaurant/bistro with a variety of good food for all the family' unfortunately but prepared to be corrected.
  Sorry about the uproar your original post caused - despite slurs to the contrary I enjoy good food and don't actually want fast food chains myself, but being dictated to by arrogent Lewes NIMBYS brings out the worst in me! >:|


• Bit self-righteous there, Uncle Sam. I don't see anyone objecting to Charcies, Effies, South Street or any of the other fast food joints. I've never had a better Doner than Charcies (in this country, at least) to be fair. I think a lot of people who would welcome an Uncle Sam's as they're a local (and quite decent) burger chain.
  I think what most people who don't want McDs just want to avoid the 'Burgess Hill-isation' of Lewes, and I agree.


• Last time I looked it was for sale.
  But we too have had tardy and sloppy service in there, although the food, when it comes, is good. Coffee seriously overpriced as well.
  
  I'd go to the cafe in the antiques place on south street - it's lovely and friendly.
  
  And the tea room behind the ice cream place on school hill is very pleasant, not at all trendy, well priced and very popular with oaps
