FOOD<br />

HIGH ST • LEWES<br />
A Great British pub, a warm welcome,<br />
wonderful food & ambience<br />
Falmer Bar<br />
It's buzzin'<br />
Now the Attenborough Centre for Creative Arts<br />
(aka ACCA, formerly the Gardner Arts Centre)<br />
has opened, the University of Sussex campus is<br />
going to be a much more frequent destination<br />
for <strong>Lewes</strong>ians in search of a bit of cutting-edge<br />
culture. A more intimate experience than going<br />
to Brighton, somehow. Less hassle, certainly. But<br />
what to eat?<br />
One option is the Student Union Falmer Bar,<br />
just a few seconds walk away. The music is loud,<br />
it’s true; you sometimes have to be fairly hawkish<br />
about getting a table. And the menu is aimed at<br />
the simple culinary tastes of your average twentysomething.<br />
But it’s aimed at their small budget,<br />
too… and their big appetite.<br />
The service system is quite something. When you<br />
order, you get given a square plastic contraption.<br />
When your food’s cooked, this lights up and starts<br />
buzzing: you take it to the bar, and your dinner is<br />
waiting for you. Genius.<br />
I’ve eaten there twice, post ACCA. The first<br />
time I went for ‘House Chilli’, which came with<br />
slightly rubbery rice, tortilla chips, soured cream<br />
and jalapenos. The sauce was excellent, and, best<br />
of all, it cost just £5.25. The second time, I went<br />
for ‘Southern Fried Chicken’, four bread-crumbbattered<br />
mini fillets, with a big portion of skinny<br />
chips, and some coleslaw and salad garnish. A<br />
guilty pleasure, then, but at £4.95…<br />
Oh, and the beer is cheap, too, especially in Happy<br />
Hour (Monday to Friday, 5-8pm) when you can<br />
get a pint for under three quid. Don’t aim to get<br />
there too early, then: in my experience experimental<br />
theatre and more than one pint of Kronenbourg<br />
don’t mix. DL<br />
