Cleo

Home of the spaniel race, where the hare wears sausages. I'd have views on the handicap.

Bonnie

Sausages on a person, for a dog race, outside the pub? All breeds are welcome. I'm entering next April. Also, pizza smells.

The pawrents

A proper Lewes town pub with a real fire, a patio up some steps, and Pat's Pizza Wednesday to Sunday. Dogs are welcome inside and out. Every spring it runs the spaniel race, open to all breeds. Two deep steps at the main door.
