Sunday (19/11) was our first visit and we didn't fully understand how things worked in terms of dish sizes etc. Now know exactly how to order on our next visit. Food excellent, staff also, and very knowledgeable. Being a bit of a wino found the list a tad lacking but did enjoy the Beaujolais Blanc. Concluded that it would be more fun experiencing the fabulous dishes with 4 of us rather than 2. Will certainly return.

A gem of a place for foodies. We had walked past Dill on a previous evening and thought it looked interesting. When we went there to eat it was fabulous. The prices are very reasonable and yet the food is in a different league to any regular restaurant. It is proper food, absolutely delicious and a taste sensation. There is plenty of choice so if some of the menu items are not to your taste then there is no problem. We will definitely be back and consider it a great find. Do go before it becomes so popular that you can't book.

We loved the food - different with great flavours and it looked good on the plate. Service was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The only suggestion I would have is to add cushions to the chairs as they are a little hard and uncomfortable. Overall we loved our experience and have already recommended Dill to our friends.

Thank you so much for a wonderful meal! Everything was perfect, except for the fact that I ate too much and could barely walk home.
I love that you get to try flavours and ingredients you’d never have thought of, and they are always delicious. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff if you have any questions about the food or just want some advice choosing drinks.
I feel so lucky that we have Dill in Lewes!

We've lived in lewes for 30 years or so and this really was the very best meal we've ever had when eating out. From start to finish we loved everything we had to eat and the buzzy atmosphere and vibrant staff made us feel totally relaxed and at ease. the only thing we thought might improve things would be to be able to order wine by the carafe ........

Excellent food - highly recommend. Only downside was the wait at the beginning - an hour before we got our first dish, once the service started it was nicely timed. If they had given us an indication of the wait time we would have ordered some bread or snacks to be going on with.

Dill is what Lewes has needed for decades. Creative yet unpretentious dishes using unusual ingredients and locally sourced produce, all made with care. You can taste the love! We couldn’t fault the food or decide on a favourite dish (we had 6 small plates between us) and felt that it was good value for such amazing food.
The only thing that would have improved the experience and ambience was more ambient music, or none at all. Can’t wait to go back.

Been once before, the menu remains like a list of components from which to construct a meal.
With only one person serving we didn’t receive any food for nearly an hour - two quail eggs - and there was another wait after that.
The sea bream platter was a fish on a plate with several bowls of accompaniments - tricky on a small table.
One of our party was vegetarian, one of their two small plates was forgotten and then assembled quickly. It showed.
Everything I ate was delicious, the server was friendly but somehow the experience was less than the sum of its parts.

Arrived for lunch at 1. A member of staff started grinding raw meat noisily on an adjacent counter. Beyond the hygine issue - it was near a serving area - this type of disruption to diners simply should not have occurred. We complained and were told they had a late delivery. This task could have been done after the lunch service concluded. We were offered free desserts and this was appreicated, so amends were made to a degree, but this is not really the point. We are fairly regular to Dill and it is usually informal but professional. The last two times we felt aspects in staffing esp have slipped. At its best it is a wonderfully inventive and well priced venue.

Loved our meal there. Service was excellent, quality of food fantastic.
One suggestion; the main ceiling lights were still glaring when it became dark outside. Would suggest candles or dimming the lights just to make it less clinical and more comfortable. A minor thing, as thoroughly enjoyed our time. We’ll be back for sure. Many thanks!

I love Dill and have been a few times with family and friends and the food is great, I did request this time well in advance that one of us was vegan but felt a little disappointed at the choice, maybe because it a summer menu so nothing substantial. I know it’s hard to cater for all needs but they do request 48 hour notice which was given. Will go back with vegan friend when the menu changes.

Beautifully cooked and thoughtful food with great flavour combinations. Stand out dish for me was the hake with chorizo which was superb. Only thing is they need better extractor fans as you tend to come out smelling of cooking/frying. Otherwise charming and efficient service. Would certainly go again

Our party enjoyed the food, which is unusual, varied and very tasty. However, the restaurant runs a strange serving system where you can order three types of plates but if you order a large platter, you will have to wait (as we did) for over an hour and a half for it to arrive. As a result, my 82 year old father didn't get to eat at all until 10pm while our smaller plates arrived early on. The staff did say that the large platters would arrive after the small plates but if it is going to be over an hour and a half wait from the point of ordering, this really should be explained to the customers. It was quite stressful as a result. The staff themselves were lovely but the waiting time - or at least explaining the time to the customers at the point of ordering - really should be addressed.

Dill was absolutely sublime from start to finish. We went for a late lunch and loved the exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable service that made us feel really welcome.
The food is, simply, amazing. Beautiful, creative, full of interesting ideas and flavours that work so well and really blew us away.
Fantastic (and reasonable) drinks menu, and even an awesome playlist!
Dill is my new No.1 place and we have already booked to return!

It was a superb meal after a long cycle on the south down’s. The enthusiastic explanation of the dishes and help with ordering brought the whole experience together.

As on previous occasions, the welcome was warm, the service great, the food imaginative and brilliant and the wine (as well as the wine advice) excellent. Highly recommended; we will be back!

They seemed too busy to cope.
15 minutes after arriving we had to ask for drinks. Food comes when it comes but was delicious. Had to ask for everything when someone was passing.....
Maybe someone hadn't turned up but they said that wasn't the case so.....?

Brilliant food but we ordered too much, we needed guidance on quantity. A choice of lower price wines and wines by the glass should be available. Music a bit loud at times.

This is exciting and imaginative food, well executed, with good ingredients. Probably as good food as you'd get at a celebrity chef restaurant and probably at a fraction of the price. The service was a bit haphazard so leave plenty of time to enjoy your meal.

We booked a table for 6.00 and just before 8.00, we were told we had to vacate the table as it was needed and there wasn't enough time for us to have desert. When we booked with you, I had no idea that this was a limited time slot. Did I miss something?

A lovely evening at Dill. The menu was creative and delicious with beautiful presentation. Friendly and helpful staff. The only downside was we were a table of two situated super close to the next table of two which felt like we were in each others space a bit and couldn’t relax quite as easily so would want to sit elsewhere next time. Would definitely go back next time we visit Lewes.

Somewhat of a golden ticket in our area. in a sea of mediocre this is a lifeboat on many levels not least the innovative cooking.

It was a really wonderful experience from the waiting staff to the food. It’s really well decorated but I feel a slightly bigger venue would do you more justice, this is a very minor detail, just something for the future perhaps. I would highly recommend to my Friends to visit you, thank you.
