Please be aware that The John Harvey Tavern will be closed from the 10th to the 23rd January.

This time will allow us to undertake some repairs to some of our houses and to ensure that our hard working staff can take a break after such a hard year last year. We hope you understand and look forward to welcoming you back to us on the 24th January.

Situated opposite Harvey’s Brewery and the River Ouse, our riverside ‘brewery tap’ is aptly named after the founder and brewer of the first Harvey’s beers, John Harvey.

With an abundance of history and charm, the tavern is the perfect location to immerse yourself in Lewes culture and tradition. Look out for Morris Dancing throughout the summer months and of course ‘Remember, Remember the Fifth of November’ – we offer the perfect place to soak up the Bonfire Night fun.

 View our menu for delicious pub favourites and fresh sandwiches. Why not try some local Sussex cheeses in our JHT Ploughmans lunch, a firm favourite with the Lewes locals. Test your taste buds with our daily changing specials menu, there will always be something new for you to try.

We hope to see you soon, and please get in touch for enquires or to make a booking.
