Reopening watch
Restaurant reopening coming soon.
The venue is currently closed. LewesLive has been advised that it is reopening as a restaurant. We are deliberately not publishing an opening date, menu, booking link or opening hours until those details are confirmed.
This page will be updated as verified information becomes available, so older directory or pub-opening data should not be treated as current.
Previous venue history
A familiar White Hill landmark.
Previous pub information
Historic listings referenced beer, sport, music, food and functions. Those details describe the former operation and are not presented as promises for the new restaurant.
Coming next
Once supplied or independently verified, LewesLive can publish the new restaurant concept, menu, opening hours, bookings, accessibility, photographs and launch events.
Current-information policy
No stale opening hours.
Some public listings still carry information from the former pub operation. LewesLive now marks the venue as closed while the restaurant reopening is prepared and will only reinstate opening hours or service information when it has been checked against current operator information.
