Trevor Arms

Really nice place to have a quiet lunch when out for drive. I like my old Lewes for some good pub/​grub, but The Trevor was a nice discovery for us. Not often will I risk the Fish and Chips at a pub, but this one is worth it. Very nice. Couldn’t risk drinking the well stocked/​displayed beers/​ales, (driving), but it sure was tempting!

Fantastic location with great views onto the South Downs. A good selection of hand pumped beers including six hop, Harveys Best, Harveys Hadlow and Knots of May. An interesting choice of German/​Belgian fruit beers, wheat beers etc. also stocked, most unexpected. The menu had something for everyone, light bites including homemade sausage roll (it really was homemade), sandwiches, salads and a variety of ploughmans. Main meal choices featured homemade pies that were delicious, fish and chips and award winning Sussex steak. The dark chocolate brownie was also delicious. Restaurant quality food at pub prices.

A lovely typical Lewes pub this with a beautiful exterior and an equally inviting interior to boot. The staff are really friendly and welcoming and they (as they should) serve an excellent pint of Harveys Old and Best.
The décor is old but not tatty, just well lived in as a pub should look in my book. The food is great home cooking and not too pricey which some of the pubs around here can be.

Glynde would be just another sleepy Sussex village, were it not for the world-​famous opera venue just down the road at Glyndebourne.
The Trevor Arms pub is at the other end of the village, just past the railway station (which has an hourly service to/​from Lewes, Eastbourne and Brighton). A large Victorian building, the interior is very traditionally decorated, and very spacious — there are four rooms, including a restaurant area. It has a huge garden area, with tables and seating, as well as space for picnics, and is great for kids to run around and burn off their energy (as indeed they do).
Beers include the usual Harveys range from nearby Lewes, and there’s an extensive and very well regarded food menu, with the emphasis on traditional English pub grub, and there’s also a special menu for children. The pub is especially popular with families, walkers (the South Down Long Distance path is a mile away) and, of course, visitors to Glyndebourne. On a week-​end summer afternoon it can get very busy indeed. Deservedly popular.
