"There 's nothing like a traditional English country pub inviting you in for a warm welcome and this fits the bill as nothing like a traditional English country pub inviting you in for a warm welcome. So obviously a very popular pub by word of mouth but after the odd experience we encountered we were left wondering if 1st timers come back for a 2nd time. Ok so the staff are all very young and well presented but on entering the establishment,out of the 5 members of staff around and behind the bar we were greeted by 0% of the team. It took a prompt and a rather loud 'hello ' from one of our party of 5- so hardly invisible. Following a 6 mile thirst and hunger and the sight of the pub made us eager to taste the ale and sample the food. It was table service so after waiting 15 minutes without sight of any waitress approaching us-the reason why will shortly be explained,we returned to bar for a top up. I asked if we could order food at the bar as we 'd had no joy at our table. Indeed we could order at the table but not knowing a table number I explained where we were sitting, then all came to light. We had committed the cardinal sin of sitting in the 'non- locals ' exclusion zone where food was not permitted, reserved exclusively for 'locals ' who fancy a pint without having to mix with outsiders. This area was approximately 10 steps Futher through the hallowed arch past the riff raff section. But behold, after explaining that I only wanted chips, I 'd ticked the food allowance box as snacks were allowed. Dare I push my luck and ask for the cheese board too?. I plucked up the courage,took the plunge and ordered the cheese board, only to be knocked back with a refusal as cheese board didn 't fit the criteria of snacks. The look of sadness must have resonated as the kindly barman went above and beyond and put a request in for me to a colleague. A few umms and ahhhs later I was granted permission to be served cheese on sacred ground but this was obviously a one off and I 'd pushed my luck to the limit. This so nearly went very wrong when my friend asked for a bowl of roast potatoes. I think by now, they knew the strict laws of snack categories had been smashed into smithereens and with our fingers crossed, our order was granted. Confusion reigned with young waitress 's daring to walk the further 10 paces , through the arch almost as if an electronic tag would be activated and the 4 minute warning siren blast into action. Chips are chips, cheese board is just obviously a cheese board minus any cheese cos it took a double take to spot it. 4 miniscule portions of cheese with loads of multi coloured biscuits. I think this was around the £10 mark which was very disappointing when the cheese was barely visible- were the 4 grapes on the side a desert? We asked for sauces and apart from being offered mint sauce and mayonnaise, no others could be thought of as they don 't serve cheese with chutney or pickle, so we swerved the mint sauce and had the cheese bare and naked. On the bill, a 10% service charge was included but I 'm rather baffled as to what service there was. The food came out in dribs and drabs, the 1st lot being finished by 1 party member before the next delivery, a desert came out before the chips and I had to ask, then get myself some cutlery. Lovely setting and the staff were polite but the bill was far more than I 'd pay elsewhere. Think il just stay in my local town pub, may ask to introduce a secluded area for outsiders . Is the service charge being saved up to buy a new radiator in the gents?. The garden picture shows the exclusive through the arch area that we dared to invade ."

October lunch called in and sat outside for a pint and some lunch all ok and reasonable approx £22 head for a pint and 1 course service charge added, which on reflection was a bit odd. Well located for some great walks

So pleased we visited this lovely pub for a late lunch at the end of our walk on the South Downs Way. Such a warm welcome with great food and friendly efficient service. New experience of a ‘hot’ ploughman’s which included a little bowl of delicious soup as well as the usual ploughman’s fare. Set in a pretty village, well worth a very short detour off A27.

We stopped by without a reservation on Saturday evening after visiting Charleston nearby and were able to secure a nice table. Our three course meals were all excellent. The boeuf bourguignon was rich and delicious, while the hake was perfectly grilled and served with a light, creamy root vegetable purée. The service was friendly and efficient. This gastropub is top-notch and located in a charming village near the A27 and Lewes.

I have heard many intriguing reviews about this pub, so I was eager to check it out. It is in a great location and has the potential to become a favorite spot for us. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by a group of staff who seemed overwhelmed, led by a rude and stressed manager. Her customer service skills were abrupt and aggressive towards both her team and patrons. If I were the owner of this pub, I would be concerned about the staffing strategy in place.

This was such a lovely find in an area which does not seem to have a great number of hotels to choose from. The food (dinner and breakfast) was absolutely on point. The room was lovely with every amenity we could ask for a coffee machine, white linen robes etc....And to top it all off, Ben the barman collected us from the fireworks in Lewes when all the taxis were booked up/no longer taking bookings! Bravo Ben and the rest of the team at The Ram will definitely be back!

The Ram is located at the end of a quiet lane in the heart of the Firle village.It is heavily associated with artists Virginia Woolf lived in Firle for example. The Inn itself is a lovely old building constructed in wood and flint with a number of cosy rooms for dining. we stayed the night in Beanstalk which is quiet and located above the dining room very comfortable with a well appointed en suite bathroom. We dined there, too good local produce and friendly service. Great breakfast, as well.

I like The Ram. I like The Ram at Christmas with the fires on. I like The Ram in Summer outside with the sun shining. I don’t like The Ram when you have to order food that is over priced and over cooked… good god… I could do better myself at home… and to hear a Chef shouting “they can f&£k off!” When I complain that the meat is like brown leather… well… all I say is don’t eat there. You’ll save an expensive family meal at over £100+ and have some fish and chips on the coast instead! I’ve had enough of giving money to this place. They are taking the… Fire the chef.

We called to make a reservation for Sunday lunch and were given the options of a very early 12 noon or a late 2.30pm. We chose the later time, which turned out to be a mistake. If you want to be served close to your reservation time, book an early slot. We arrived on time and were seated at a nice table in a pleasant atmosphere. However, we had to wait until 3.40pm for our food. Although we received an apology, it felt like a tactic to make us purchase more drinks. The food was nicely presented but only lukewarm, likely due to being served on cold plates. It was our mistake for not requesting hot plates. When the bill arrived, a 10% service charge had been added. Since we did not feel we rec...
