A proper traditional alehouse style boozer, basically two roomed but walk through with the door removed. both ends of the pub were fairly busy with locals,daytrippers and beer tourists alike. Seven handpumps split between the two sides were offering Harveys Sussex Best and Harmony,Gun Parabellum,Rother Vally Hoppers Dry Ale and Old Dairy Blue Top, Sandford Reserve was the Cider. All in all an excellent pub.

Certainly a proper traditional boozer and a haven away from the bustle of Cliffe High Street. But a bit smelly and I don't think cleaning is their top priority (see photo). Interesting choice of ales.

The Gardener's Arms is the closest any Lewes pubs get to being a proper town alehouse. Whilst being very close to Harvey's brewery and stocking their Sussex Best Bitter, it is a free house and has a few guest beers.
The pub has 2 rooms, with the rear one being larger than the front one. Conversation reigns and you will soon find yourself getting into a chat with some random locals. As the previous reviewer states, there are also some metal table and chairs in the passageway to the side of the pub. With the sun peaking through, this is where the majority of customers were on our Saturday lunchtime visit. It also seems to be a place where children are now allowed, as they're certainly not allowed inside.
Guest ales were Rother Valley Northiam, Errant Claw of the New Sun, Only With Love Let's Go IPA & Tring Toto. A further handpull in the rear bar had Gwynt y Ddraig Ancient Warrior.
CAMRA discounts are now offered, but not widely advertised. We overheard somebody else asking when ordering our second round.
5 years on since my last visit, I think this is still just about the best pub in Lewes. We actually returned later in the evening to find Pitchfork having replaced the Tring beer.
