About The White Hart
The White Hart is a former coaching inn on the High Street in the centre of Lewes, a building with a long history in the town that has traded as a hotel and pub for generations. It is now run as a gastro pub with rooms, combining a busy bar and dining room at ground level with individually decorated bedrooms upstairs.
Its High Street position puts guests within a few minutes' walk of the castle, the antique shops of Cliffe and School Hill, and the railway station, while the pub itself is a popular spot with locals as well as visitors, particularly for its seasonal Sussex-focused menu and range of local ales.
As a working pub in the centre of a lively market town, rooms can pick up some noise from the bar below on busy evenings, but the location and character make it one of the most convenient central bases for exploring Lewes on foot.

What guests say
I have been coming to the White Hart for about a year and a half and I like to consider myself a local. It is a fantastic hotel/pub. The staff are always friendly and you can have a laugh, especially Niamh (Credit on the Guinness art too!). The service is good, food is good. Atmosphere is nice and having a car park is great. They have an event room which have regular functions. They have a great pool table and dart boards. There is something for everyone here. Perfect pub for me!

Came for the races and found this bar, very lively and great DJ's. Drinks were well priced and the team were lovely and smiley. Will be returning for the next races, we were well looked after and had a fantastic evening!

Lovely setting, staff are very friendly and helpful, the service was great and I didn't run into any issues while having my stay here. Rooms were clean when I got to mine, alongside the service of being allocated one very simple and easy. Staff helped greatly with order choices due to an allergy I have which simplified the process for me and let me know what I could have.
