The Dorset is all about fine food and drink. It’s about a friendly welcome, an extensive choice of Harvey’s real ales, ciders and wine, and a mouth-watering menu with the most spectacular offering of fresh seafood around.

It's about seasons. In summer, a high-stooled table in the cool of the open-plan saloon bar or al-fresco eating in one of Lewes's largest beer gardens. In winter perhaps a Harveys beer and a meal to remember by the warmth of a fire or an elbow on the bar in the traditional snug.

If you want a sensibly-priced, town centre base from which to explore the many delights that make Lewes so special. The Dorset offers six beautiful en-suite bedrooms. Perfect if you're here to enjoy the antique shops and auctions, the Norman castle and the arts and craft displays. Equally good if you treat your partner to an evening out that ends not with a drive home but with an exciting overnight stay and a leisurely breakfast in the morning.
