The Half Moon Pub

About

The Half Moon is a lively 200‑year‑old country pub tucked into the rolling hills of the South Downs, just a short walk from Lewes. Over the years it has become a favourite stop for walkers, cyclists and locals alike, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a carefully curated menu that showcases the best of Sussex produce. Diners can sample traditional Sunday roasts, hearty brunches, a rotating selection of craft beers and a range of vegan‑friendly dishes, all cooked with locally sourced ingredients. On the front street sits an open fire and a full bar that stocks local wines from nearby Plumpton and fresh apple juice straight from Ringden farm. A spacious terrace and adjoining picnic grounds give guests a relaxed spot to unwind, making it an ideal venue for both casual drinks and family gatherings. The pub is open Monday‑Saturday from 12:00 to 23:00, with food served between 12:00‑15:00 and 18:00‑21:00, and Sunday from 12:00 to 18:00, offering food from 12:00‑16:00. Reservations can be made online via the official booking page on the Half Moon website.
