Nights out

Pubs in Lewes, and a cab home.

Lewes has more good pubs than a town its size has any right to, and Harvey's on tap in most of them. Here are the ones we drop people at most.

Opening hours change, so check with the pub before you go. Not an endorsement, just the places we know.

Getting home

Book your ride home before you head out and tell us roughly when, or ring us when you're ready. On Friday and Saturday nights, pre-booking is the safest bet. On Bonfire Night, see our note on the Lewes taxis page.

Book your lift home.

Ring us, message us on WhatsApp or book online. We'll confirm your cab straight back.
