Cleo

The gardens and terraces are ours. The restaurant isn't. Clear rules are a kindness, and the terrace gets the sun.

Bonnie

I'm allowed at the bar counter while you order! I'll stand there looking tall and hopeful. It's my best look.

The pawrents

Depot, Lewes's cinema, has a café, restaurant and bar with gardens and terraces. Dogs are very welcome in all the outdoor areas, and at the bar counter while you order, but not in the restaurant or the screens. Take your drink outside.

Only so we can ask you about it. We won't add you to anything, and it's never shown.
