Pelham Arms

About

The Pelham Arms is a quintessential Sussex pub perched on Lewes High Street, welcoming locals and visitors with its warm oak beams, cosy inglenook, and an inviting courtyard garden. The ambience blends historic charm with contemporary flair, highlighted by the newly launched Boho‑Baja menu that fuses Western‑coast burgers, vibrant Baja tacos and smoky wings—all crafted from locally sourced, plant‑based and gluten‑free options. Whether you’re after a hearty brunch, a leisurely lunch, dinner, or a relaxed late‑night beer, the pub offers friendly, table‑service hospitality that feels like a home away from home. Open daily, the pub is open from 5 pm to 11 pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, from noon to 11 pm from Wednesday to Saturday, and from noon to 10:30 pm on Sundays. The kitchen serves guests from noon to 2:30 pm and again from 6 pm to 9:30 pm on weekdays, while on Sundays it offers an early lunch from noon to 4 pm and a late‑night menu from 6 pm to 8 pm. Parking is available at the rear of the pub and nearby council car parks, and the pub is easily reachable by bus, train or car, making it a convenient stop on any South Downs exploration.
