A Lewes original with centuries of character
Historic bones.
Restless spirit.
A centuries-old Lewes pub, a flavour-led kitchen and an obsession with good local suppliers.
Two identities. One pub.
The Pelham Arms’ history.
Boho Baja’s fire.
The roundel celebrates Lewes and the South Downs. The sunburst brings the tacos, burgers, smoke and spice. Together they make a brand that could only belong here.
The building
A pub with
real character.
The Pelham Arms is widely described as occupying a High Street building dating from around 1640. Its historic setting—timber, warmth and familiar corners—is part of the experience, not a theme applied later.
The historic building and the contemporary Boho Baja kitchen sit side by side: familiar Lewes pub character with food that keeps moving forward.
The kitchen
Boho Baja,
born from flavour.
Loaded West Coast burgers meet vibrant Baja tacos and reimagined bistro-pub classics—shaped by years of craft, fire, smoke and the urge to keep pushing.
Local suppliers
Named suppliers include Chef’s Farms, Court Garden, Downsview Farmhouse, FISH, Infinity Foods, Latchetts Farm, Bodiam Meats, Plumpton Estate, The Cheeseman, Tigermoth Coffee and Trenchmore Farm.
No generic menu language
Smoke, spice, pickles, salsa, chimichurri, local meats and seasonal vegetables give the offer a recognisable voice.
