Sad to hear the best food venue with the best staff in Lewes, Le Magasin is closing at the start of September. Another fine independent gone to be replaced by more chain crap probably.

Is Le Magasin really closing? Confirmation please. What a shame.

If Magasin closing, not to mention Pelham House turning into a vents venue and various pubs closing perhaps the Brexit is really happening ....

The only reason restaurants close is because they're not making enough or any money

Yes it is really happening. I was in this morning and was told by a member of staff. The building has been sold. The Kitchen is almost closed offering only light snacks.

Sad news - we are losing the best coffee shop in Lewes, great quality coffee, quick and cheerful service, and a lunchtime (& dinner) specials menu to die for. The new coffee roaster place in the old Elphicks Shop is good, but painfully slow and fairly expensive. Let�s hope that any new tenant will set the bar as high as the Magasin crew.

I'm not sure a special menu to die for is a good advert. It's a bit much to have to die before you can have a decent meal.

What a shame. Do we know why it�s closing? I would have thought it was successful.

Head chef leaving, owner can't be arsed.

That's very interesting, owner can't be arsed - nice to be rich. Think he originally bought the property and business for his daughters.

The head chef is Matt where is he going - anyone know

Originally bought for their lazy and over privileged daughters and that didn�t last long. Obviously not making enough money for them to feed their fat faces. I met the owner once, didn�t have a days work in him. Good riddance.
