  Rude staff. Was asked not so nicely to move whilst eating. Then made to feel like I was being unreasonable for saying they were rude. Typical Lewes attitude people.

  A really sweet little tea room with lots of train photographs. Home made sandwiches and cakes, it's like stepping back in time (except with modern day prices). Very warm and cozy

  What a great place- nicely arranged flowers on each table, a good range of sandwiches, paninis, smoothies etc and hot dishes prepared to order like fish pie and frittata - all at very reasonable prices. Best of all such friendly helpful staff to make this a regular port of call rather than eat in the town - almost worth a detour to stop at Lewis Station!

  My partner and I have spent many a happy half hour here with a cuppa whilst awaiting our train, the atmosphere and provisions are always charming and welcome. Unfortunately this morning I was greeted on the till by an exceptionally rude young man who made me feel very unwelcome and almost convinced me not to return. As fortune has it I have never been served previously in such a manner in The Runaway and my other dealings within the cafe have been wonderful. Had this been my first visit, I would absolutely not have gone back.

  Its great, but old fashioned - mostly in a good way. The fact it doesn't take cash is either refreshingly quaint or insane. That's up to you i suppose. The sandwiches are brilliant, hand-made and taste great - but don't forget your coins. Decoration could probably be updated by 20 years or so. Still - better than the generic offering of most stations.
