Though we�ve lost Aqua and Bus Club it looks like we are gaining two new cafes: a crepe place replacing bus club and a Caribbean? Place where the Nutty Wizard was. Good news surely!

Do the restaurant food delivery apps work in this area ?

Maybe no more than a rumour, but I�ve heard Wimpy are considering a franchisee for the Aqua site.

Wimpy would be awesome! A McDonald's with plates and cutlery! That's the kind of compromise a sometimes snobby Lewes could potentially handle.

True Lewesians would appreciate a Wimpy Diner imo, tried and tested brand with good value food, albeit not that healthy but everything in moderation!

Not sure there would be enough business in Lewes for a Wimpey, you only have to look at Subway, hardly ever see anyone in there.

Wimpey were a construction company. The name came from "We import more paddys each year".
I remember the Wimpy bars. They could just about be called a restaurant; as they had waiter service, with a bill at the end Hamburger and chips for 20p. They probably replaced the coffee bars of the sixties, like the Polar Bear.
There is still one in Telscombe Cliffs on the A259.
