If you're going to be big crowd then either the volly or the elly would probs be best for space. The landsdown will be packed anyway and it's a small pub
63 pubs and 9 breweries in 1887, plus Lewes would have been smaller in those days !!!
"Lewes has a strong brewing heritage, at one time having nine breweries in the town, and only seven churches. Today, of course, only the award-winning and much loved Harveys Brewery remains in Cliffe High Street. The town was also lucky enough to have 63, yes 63, public houses in 1887."
