We stopped off here for breakfast and was very happy that we had. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. The food was very tasty, fresh, and well cooked with quality ingredients. The seating was unique, an array of different chairs. I sat on an old school chair, metal framed with a wood backing and seat. It brought a smile, as did the food and cappuccino. I would really recommend this place to anyone wanting a good place to enjoy some time with others. The pricing was reasonable, and plenty of seating options were available, 2, 4, or larger tables. A great start to our visit to Hastings old town. Many thanks to the staff who served us. Sorry, I am useless with names.

The staff here unfortunately come across as quite unfriendly, which significantly impacted my experience. It seems they struggle to manage busy periods effectively, and while I understand that things can get hectic, that shouldn’t excuse the subpar service. As for the food, it’s decent, but given the overall atmosphere and the feeling of inconvenience when making requests, it feels overpriced.

Wow... never had loaded fries with goats cheese and roasted peppers before, no photos as the dish was wolfed down in a few minutes! If you love goats cheese like we do, you MUST try it! The burgers we had (1 beef, 1 halloumi) were delicious too and had really lovely buns!

Very good quality food, presented well, at reasonable prices. Broad menu across food and drink so lots to choose from. Staff were friendly. Venue was pleasant although a little cramped between tables and could have been a bit cleaner. Meticulously wiping the tables and high chairs down after each sitting would have scored full marks. I'd definitely go back

Excellent food, helpful and very friendly staff. Excellent for people with mobility problems, and young families. We were in both categories. Nothing was too much trouble for mum and her walker. Also a lot of lovely fuss made over my daughters new born baby. Food was very tasty and varied menu. Special plate done for my daughter as baby was allergic to diary. Would highly recommend a visit if in Hastings.

On a sunny February day, this was a tad warm ! Toilets a bit narrow but clean, food was very hot. Be warned about that. Portions maybe could have been a bit more for the premium price, but it's in a tourist hotspot, so it's going to be pricey. Coffee was great. Noisy kids not great, but it's a small space. Friendly and helpful staff. Would we go again? Yes, but would try other places first.

We were greeted by an abrupt male member of staff and we were informed that the kitchen was closed on last 2 occasions that we came here. Both of them on a Sunday afternoon in winter. The place was almost empty. On our second visit we left, because unlike the previous time it wasn't bucketing it down so we could go elsewhere. We have visited previously - mostly in summer, and the the staff were polite and friendly. Bit of a shame because its a great location.

As they was so yummy, I had to get both in a pot! My daughter got a Lotus Biscoff milkshake and she said it was the best she ever had! It was thick and full of flavour! I will definitely be back to try the milkshake my self!

Chose to go to Eat @ the Stade for breakfast last Monday (May Day) and what a mistake that was! There cannot even be the excuse of being busy, as we got there for opening and food had not even started. We waited 45 mins for breakfast, only to find out that they had misplaced our food order. We did not query earlier as we received our coffees so we thought all was well. By the time we found out breakfast was not on its way it was then too late for breakfast, as the Hastings Jack in the Green parade was due to start. This eatery showed total incompetence and ruined our start to May Day. We will not be returning.

"Eat@The Stade" is the cafe/restaurant associated with "The Stade" (an indoor/outdoor events location in Hastings Old Town). On a trip to the wider area we visited Hastings Old Town, and this was the obvious place to eat. Great coffee/snacks, but the cooked food looks excellent as well (good quality, well prepared items, not a "cheap, pile it high" type of cafe). The Old Town area itself is well worth a visit, espcially on a nice day.

What a surprise find on a wet and windy day We had actually been going elsewhere and upon arrival had been advised they’d stopped serving early There were 12 of us, all my family that had been down celebrating my 50th and it was the final gathering before heading home. It was chucking it down, have never eaten here before and just poked my head in in the off chance we could all be seated Our lucky day as they had a long bench available Cannot fault the team and the service that morning Breakfast was fabulous. It’s not your cheap and cheerful breakfast but you get what you pay for. Very good quality and well cooked breakfast The family loved it, was better that where we were heading to which had been for a cheep n cheerful fry up so it actually worked out better How have I loved here for 10 years and never been before! We will be back Thank you

“Eat @ The Stade” : Cooked breakfast, sat outside in the sunshine with two hours of excellent live Rock ‘n’ Roll music and dance – this sound like my dream holiday! We were lucky enough to visit “Eat @ The Stade” on the first Sunday morning of Hastings old town carnival week when the “nearly on the” beach concert was in progress. Whilst a wire fence separated the café seating area (that including desk chairs) from the concert area you still felt very much part of the concert – after breakfast it was just a short walk to the concert area where there was plenty of room to dance. PS The cooked breakfast was good!

i ordered my 5 year old son x2 slices of toast with nutella and was charged £6.00! i questioned the price as i genuinely thought the waitress had made a mistake to be told that's correct.. £3.00 for x2 slices of plain toast and £3.00 for the nutella! i told her that's the most expensive toast i've ever herd of and i've visited many nice eatery's in my time! i also ordered some waffles which was absolutely gross! i asked the waiter how they was made and he said they are frozen and then microwaved.. i asked if the cook had forgotten to toast them and he said we don't toast them? they honestly was in edible! the coffe however was very nice.

Went here for lunch as a family of 10. Luckily we got a long table immediately. Lots of menu choices. Orders taken at counter. There was a very loud band playing outside (nothing to do with the cafe). Although we were told it might take 25 minutes to get food, the drinks arrived straight away and most of the food arrived within 10 minutes. The food was excellent and the service was very friendly. Although this place is right on the sea front, there is no view, as it backs onto outdoor concert area and beach huts. Nevertheless good value for money.

This place seems to think it’s set in central london when charging 12.50 for a breakfast in a struggling seaside and £4.95 for 2 slices of toast? £8.95 for egg on toast? This place is an absolute con.staff are absolutely clueless and the women that wasn’t English was terrible.about as much use a chocolate fire guard! And p.a fishers butchers is no way locally sourced stuff. We stopped using that butcher years ago as it’s about as locally sourced as sugar cane! So how they can say p.a fishers meat is locally sourced is a complete lie! Will never return to here. We had to ask for cutlery and sauces with a breakfast. These things should come without asking. Run by a bunch of money grabbing con artists. Not fit and cost offevti r for locals.this is set up for Londoners not hastings people but wasn’t it our taxes that funded this in the first place.

Dropped in here on the spur of the moment and the staff were friendly and very efficient. Coffees were excellent and served just as we requested. The only minor issue was that we ordered a fish finger sandwich. When it arrived, the fish fingers were battered and looked like they had been deep fried. Although they tasted fine, I think the fact that they were battered should have been included on the menu.

Tasty haddock and chips and gravy was meaty and thick, as it should be. Fish well cooked and a lovely, crisp batter. If I was to be critical, size of the fish and the portion of chips could have been bigger. Friendly service, clean and plenty of seating outside.

We have been member of the club for 6 years . We often go for breakfast but Brenda Andy have retired . The new people are absolute useless first you wait half hour for two breakfasts , to then be told you had not paid for two I went up and said to the lady to which she couldn’t admit it was her mistake , and basically told me and my husband to not come back . I love the club but won’t ever be using them for breakfast ever again shocking young people with chip on shoulders
