    Sussex — every beer and cider we pour is made in the county

    Our Story

    Nestled in the Heart of Fiveways

    Jon opened Lost And Found with a few mates four years ago, about a mile north of Brighton town centre. It's grown busier every year, but the idea hasn't changed: a small, cosy taproom where the beer is worth talking about and so are the people at the next table.

    We're community-led, community-driven and community-focused, and we've set ourselves one rule that shapes everything else: every beer and cider we serve is made in Sussex, and a local wine specialist puts together the wine list. It keeps the money close to home and it keeps us honest. Everyone's welcome through the door too — children and dogs included.

    The whole place is available for private hire — we're small, so hire means exclusive use: up to 80 guests inside, 100 with the outside space, and no hire fee.

    What We Stand For

    Sussex Beer, Poured by Your Neighbours

    Sussex Only

    Every beer and cider we pour is made in Sussex — small-batch, independent, and brewed by people with passion rather than by corporations.

    Community Hub

    More than just a place to grab a pint — a vibrant hub for beer lovers, neighbours, and anyone seeking good times and great company.

    Beyond Beer

    A wine list put together by a local specialist, plus spirits and soft drinks — stocked like any good pub should be.

    Everyone Welcome

    A warm, welcoming space where everyone feels at home — from seasoned beer lovers to first-time visitors. Child friendly and dog friendly, always.
