SEASONAL EATING.
Our small considered menus are guided by the seasons and our trusted local suppliers. We change our lunch and dinner menus 4 times a year, with seasonal specials appearing weekly to make the most of what is growing around Sussex and the surrounds.
Our cooking style is ingredient lead, letting the wonderful produce shine on the plate, with a little help from the expert cooking of our talented Head chef @chefjesjames and his team of course! At LOST we enjoy the ceremony of sharing food around the table and most of our dishes are designed with this in mind, bringing people together over seasonal plates.

WELCOME, FROM OUR FOUNDER
Natalie opened LOST in 2017 with the ambition to create a warm and welcoming restaurant-café in the heart of a very special city. Our approach to menus, service, and décor is uncomplicated, but we hope, special. We offer small, seasonal menus, using quality ingredients from local producers. Our service is warm, friendly, and most importantly, welcoming to all. Our décor is laid-back and soothing.
We hope you enjoy your visit to LOST, and we look forward to getting to know you.

DELICIOUS DRINKING.
Good food requires a considered drinks list! It all starts with great coffee....thank you @murmurationcoffee for meeting our exacting standards here!
As we progress throughout the day, we make sure that all your drinking needs are met with a small, well-made list of cocktails that change seasonally and a small but accessible wine list. Our wine choices are guided not just by the wonderful small-producer world wines that we discover but also the incredible ones we have on our doorstep.
We now serve wines from 5 local wineries and will be bringing you some new ones again in 2026! Watch this space for our new list, including some really special wines by the glass, thanks to our new @coravin wine preservation system.
