Dalliance at Depot
May – September 2025
Every Saturday
Food served from 17:00, music from 18:00
The best Saturday night out in Lewes is back for the summer!
Dalliance is Depot’s weekly live music & street food extravaganza, which has been bringing those summer festival vibes to Lewes since 2021!
Each Saturday from May to September, we host live music and delicious street food vendors on our beautiful open terrace, guaranteed to give you that great festival experience. Mix that with a great selection of local beers and ciders, and you’ve got an unforgettable night out planned.
Throughout the summer we’ll have a mix of musicians, bands and DJs visiting us, along with a selection of Dalliance food vendor favourites – and some new names for you to try out!
Check out our listings below for the coming weeks lineup. We’ll be updating the listings regularly, so keep your eyes peeled!
Hope Street
Before jazz and rock&roll, there was the blues. Before soul music there was gospel. Before country there was folk music. Hope Street fuses all these genres with a dynamic interplay of voices and instruments: Lisa Guile, tenor sax and vocals; Michael Munday, vocals and guitar; and now with Lindsey Oliver on double bass and vocals.
Winterbourne Kitchen
Winterbourne Kitchen is a family run business that focuses on wholesome and nutritious food. Their dishes are packed full of flavour and aromas guaranteed to fill your body and soul – all made fresh in the heart of Lewes.
This week’s menu:
-
- Chicken and chorizo, prawns and mussels
- Sweet potato, chickpeas and red peppers
Django Chutney
Hot and swingin gypsy jazz. A guitar virtuosity, 3 part vocal harmonies, an unnecessary amount of slap bass solos and the sweet music of Django Reinhardt (and Slayer). What more could you want?
Kabak
Kabak specialises in food from the Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa: the incredibly rich and diverse cuisines of Turkey, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, Egypt and Morocco. Reflecting these cuisines, Kabak’s food is a delight to the senses: colourful, deeply flavoured and richly fragrant.
