"We had relatives visiting from The States who after a pleasant day in Lewes decided they wanted to goto a country pub for dinner. WE suggested a few in the area some didn't answer the phone others were showing full booked online until a lot later that evening. The Rainbow fitted the bill with seemingly good reviews. Having had experience in the past, some good and some not so good and knowing of its reputation over the years, we were pleased to see it all looked positive when we visited. We phoned up about 5.30pm prior to arriving for dinner about 6pm on a Saturday. We were told just turn up as there was space for our party of five there was no need to prebook. We arrived and were greeted by a lovely young lady who explained we could sit in the Dining Room table service or garden order from the bar. It was a hot day, so we elected to sit in the garden. We were told once we noted the specials board that several dishes were not available and some of the main menu had sold out also. We were surprised to find the Dining room sparsely occupied and the garden was similar. We picked a nice spot under a gazebo on a terrace area with seating rather than picnic benches. once seated I noted that the table had drinks spilt on then and had not been cleaned. The our server came back to us to tell us what was not available. there was such an exhaustive list at least half the menu and specials. We suggested it would be easier to tell us what was available. With this done she duly left, so we could make our choice. The people on the adjoining table introduced themselves as the owner/manager and apologised for the lack of food as it had been rather a busy afternoon. We reluctantly chose what was left, which wasn't really what we wanted. Then one of our party stated it was unpleasant where we were sitting as the adjoining table were smoking and another smoker had sat close by. He was not keen to eat while someone was smoking near him so he suggested the Dining Room. By this time with the lack of food available and other issues we left to find another venue. It was a shame as it all looked pleasant and inviting the people were friendly, with our rerlatives wanting to experience an English country pub this had evapourated because of the lack of food and the other issues. I would hope this was just a hiccup, but to run out so early on a Saturday evening of most of their menu items it seemed like a lack of foresite. The weather had been good and even if it was bad they would have struggled to fill the inside seating with the amount of people in the pub. It felt like a bit of poor management on their part . We will keep an eye on how things go and may return without relatives in the future."

Amazing food so much better than a standard carvery. Everything home cooked (cauliflower cheese was next level)……..

I went to this charming family-owned pub for lunch and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The pub food was of great quality and I will definitely be returning soon.

Driven past the Rainbow so many times saying “we must give it a try”. Well today we did. Couldn’t fault it at all, everything was perfect so get yourself along there for a good value meal and pleasant staff. Carvery (Sunday and Wednesday) is first class TR

Terrible customer service,very rude believe me if looks could kill when you walk in...No smiles just glared straight through..Didn't even say thank you when paid for drinks how rude!this is the reason why pubs and hospitality businesses are going under all the time because companies let folk like this run these places.Would never return

Had a lovely lunch with old friends. Not been back here since management changed. The service was good. We sat outside on a lovely sunny day in their large garden. The food was good. Prawn and crayfish cocktails and soup for starters. Red Thai curry and fish and chip for mains. Sorbet, ice cream and crumble for desserts. It was all very enjoyable. We will be back

We stopped here after coming from the Midlands to pick a car up. The owners and their son were absolutely lovely and opened the kitchen a little early for us as we had a long drive home. The food was amazing and quite simply the best pub fish and chips I 've ever had. My partner said that the burger was 'immense ' and I 'm disappointed we didn 't have enough room for pudding.

I went to The Rainbow on Sunday, July 16th to celebrate my mum's 80th birthday with a group of 12 people. We were welcomed by the friendly and polite staff. We all opted for the carvery and were impressed by the excellent selection of vegetables. Everyone enjoyed the service and food. I highly recommend this place for a visit, as we had a great afternoon and will definitely be returning.

I recently visited this charming pub located just outside of Lewes while staying with my family. The spacious garden offered beautiful views of the South Downs, and the service was exceptional. The atmosphere felt like a true family-run establishment, a rarity these days. The owner's son, who also serves as the landlord, took the time to explain the menu and share some interesting information about the area. We will definitely be returning to this pub on our next trip to the area.
