We love
food + drinks.

The Pelham Arms inspired food built on flavour. Loaded burgers, vivid Baja tacos, smoky wings, pub classics and desserts made for sharing.

Plant-based, omnivore and gluten-free choices sit alongside named independent suppliers from Lewes and Sussex. The 17th-century pub character remains; the food keeps moving forward.
