We had a delicious bubble and squeak meal at The Sip. The staff put care and passion in all they do, from the kitchen to their customer service, for a seamless experience. Great atmosphere and delicious food - have been here twice, and will definitely come back for more!

Just a lovely place to eat and relax in Lewes. Attentive and kind service, excellent food, a real local treasure. We chose fish fingers sandwich, Croque Monsieur and chicken poke. All were really good and very proudly presented to us. Well worth a visit.

A great little place for a snack or light meal in the heart of Lewes. We went for lunch & loved what we were served. The venue was relaxed & exuded a kind of unassuming charm. Service was excellent, made one feel welcomed.

A great cafe right in town center. It was not too busy and allows you space for chitchat and enjoy music. We were amazed by super great customer service. Feel like we were taken cared of by an uncle. There are not many options for non-bread cuisine yet you would not go wrong with this menu. We chose the pork belly and chicken keto, they were super delightful highly recommended

What an amazing find, we both had the large full English breakfast, which comes with toast. All ingredients were of a high quality and tasted delicious. The staff were attentive and friendly. If I'm in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Very friendly waiter, the building seems to do a lot of things including a workspace (not in the cafe) The food was very tasty, was told that everything is cooked to order & it did take a while to come, so if your in a hurry this isn’t the place but if you want a relaxing chat & some good food then it’s spot on. I had finished my drink way before the food came so my suggestion would be stick to the water until at least 10 mins after you order the food
