Amazing food, flavour, ingredients, presentation and service. These guys have so much passion for what they're doing. Loved the whole experience. For me, only improvement would be to change some of the restaurant light bulbs to a lower wattage and warmer colour temperature.

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!

An explosion of flavour. The service was informative, knowledgeable and friendly. Will definite be going back and telling others to go.

Dill is a huge positive addition to the Lewes food scene. It’s a creative menu and execution, really interesting wines and beers, and a nice intimate setting and staff. It’s the best “nice” food experience that one could have and even competes competently with some of Brighton’s best places.

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.

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 had the best time here last Sunday. Theo treated us to a yummy wine tasting, and when our late guests arrived, another one! (Loved the orange wines.) The food was perfect - all I can say. We're clearly crap at mental arithmetic, cos when the bill came it was significantly lower than we were expecting. We've been telling everyone - you have to try this restaurant! Tim

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.

The food was outstanding just served too fast. The lighting needs adjusting and the interior lacks character.

We all had a great time and a simply delicious meal made up of a huge array of well combined, imaginatively prepared creations showcasing the love, skill, technique and caring of the chefs and buyers. Very impressed. Thank you.

Fantastic food, fine dining quality without the pretentiousness. The staff were warm, friendly and very informal. We were given excellent advice on menu choices and I genuinely felt they wanted us to have the best experience rather than trying to upsell to us.

Excellent imaginative food and informal ambience. The hummus was a real miss, too thick like tasteless peanut butter.

Delicious selection of small plates and appetising bites. The mouth-wateringly good flavours including some unusual drinks, very friendly service and informal atmosphere. The oysters will be talked about for a long time, heavenly! A great experience and lovely to sit outside on a hot day in this quiet corner of Lewes.

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.

We were a group of 6 and had a wonderful meal. The only tiny comment was that the music just wasn’t right for the atmosphere of eating a meal - just a bit more chilled vibe would have been a 10/10! Thank you so much for a wonderful meal.

Would have liked more fermented foods to be honest… and a cheese course instead of two desserts maybe? but it was overall fab and can’t wait for the next one

The best food, wine and service in Lewes by a mile. Have been before, will be going back. Lights a little bright in the evening but who cares when you’re eating this well in good company?!

We absolutely loved our meat at Dill. All the staff were super friendly and obviously love their jobs. My only reservation was the desserts. We had the pain perdu, which was not to our taste. The croissant was a bit stodgy and the cheese rather strong. The pear and almond pie, the pear didn’t taste of much and there was little taste of almond in the pie. I hate to criticise, but just thought I’d share our thoughts. But we will definitely be back

Dill was a revelation, the food truly extraordinary - a delight for all the senses. Chef Theo was incredibly knowledgeable and genial and treated us to some wonderful insights into the provenance and preparation of the evening's menu. I would highly recommend a visit!

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.

Visited on a cold Thursday evening to a warm and welcoming restaurant. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Had 2 x bites and then 4 x small plates, the later are a very good size to share. This was a very filling meal for 2. Great to have another creative restaurant come to Lewes.

Fantastic food! Have been looking for a restaurant like this for ages, doing something different and serving amazing food. Improvements would be colder beer, taller tables (knees hit the bar (I’m 5’7).

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.
