Tris C left this review about Elephant & Castle

Dating from 1838, home to Commercial Square Bonfire Society, which celebrates native Americans’ rights (should’ve chosen The Rights of Man as a home, surely?) and unusually for Lewes, a Harvey’s tied house.
As described below, I went for a half of Thornbridge Wild Swan, £2.75, unknown to me and unmemorable.
Worth it for the carved door surround.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Elephant & Castle

Very close to the Lewes Arms which is a good double header. The interior of this pub is on the large size, with two main rooms supported by a central bar. The lounge area on the right hand side had a tiled floor, pews and large ornate tables. I thought the wood carved panel around the main entrance to be an unusual antiquity [see photos]. My Big Hug Brewing Pave the Way was an excellent choice.

Bucking Fastard left this review about Elephant & Castle

A large street corner boozer ,the interior winds around the back of the central bar with a games room to the left with a sports flatscreen,pool table and table football and a BHA flag looking a little sad.The right side of the pub has some large tables and the food revolves around burgers but everyone inside was just drinking.
The ale selection on my trip was Thornbridge Wild Swan and Jaipur IPA (NBSS 4),Big Hug Pave the Way,Harvey's Sussex Best together with a Lilly's cider.I enjoyed the boozer atmosphere and would include it on any crawl around town.
