Goat Ledge in Hastings

A delicious fishy bap was had by the sea. Beautiful

A lovely little place on the seafront lots of choices of food and drinks. We only had katsu fries really good. When the su is shining it's a lovely spot.

Great small pub/restaurant by the sea.

A nice spot by the beach with friendly staff. Food wise I only had some fries but they were delicious 😋

The best sea vue on a sunny day , friendly helpful team , great vibes with music playing , relaxed and great atmosphere.

Grab loaded fries. Loved them nice beer to

I love this place ,amazing views of the seafront . lovely staff, very busy and popular. Worth a visit ,they do ice creams and smoothies too.

Cannot get better with the view from the cafe and nice cofee and food. Yep it just hard to beat sitting and wathcinng so the atmosphere is just great.

Love this place. Right on the beach. Exceptionally friendly staff, delicious food and the best chips!

Tofu bun and katsu fries OFF THE SCALE tasty….huge portion and had to limp off afterwards we were so Full and happy 💜

Lovely cafe on the seafront! Was gutted that they’d already ran out of the Sunrise sandwich when we got there just past 10 (so go early if you’re set on that!) but the Decimus Burton was absolutely delicious and fresh with great quality bacon. We did wait over 30 mins for food but was fine as we weren’t in a rush.

The staff here are absolutely fantastic. We had a slight problem with our order and the staff were amazing when we had to point it out ,they were so friendly and helpful, not only did they rectify the order they went above and beyond to make everything better . The food was yummy the coffee really good the whole experience a very happy one!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The katsu fries are delicious (and come in a generous portion). Great feel and friendly staff. So good that a visit has become a Saturday tradition.

A special place, it is a kind of kiosk on the seafront in Hastings. We had their delicious fish sandwiches, very well prepared.

As same experience as many others. I just feel the prices are too high for the quality and staff are more like a fast food outlet. Certainly not worth a tip that shows on the PDQ when paying as you have to order at a counter like Nando’s, not much service and not much interaction the areas Looks amazing and is bustling but they need to serve better quality fish to warrant the prices. Considering Hastings is a fresh fish fishing town the prices are inflated but the quality is not.

Beautiful rustic beach side bar with a great selection of food... unsure about the.gluten free options, but the fries were great. Staff were really friendly

Really nice place greater atmosphere. The staff were amazing, and they were very professional while having a at the same time, which is great to see because that is not always the case with some places they were quick.An efficient, again in people through the queue The only slight criticism he's the girl that was at the till I had forgotten to check people's id and that girl in front of me who bought alcohol was not eighteen yet I will definitely be returning to here in the future as it was very good

Visited St. Leonards last weekend and came across this place and loved it. Great atmosphere on the promenade and the food was great. The staff were very pleasant to. Would definitely be back and highly recommend.

This became our go-to morning spot in Hastings during our stay. Excellent seafront location with colourful, quirky seating right on the beach. A great menu with delicious bacon baps, buttery almond croissants, creamy chai lattes, coffees and smoothies. We loved it here and left feeling full every time. Very reasonable prices too.

Has a great smoothie and a lovely place right on the beach, protected from the wind.

Breakfast sandwich- mmmmm lovely, Fresh food, great service, it’s going to be my favourite cafe!

Great beers in a great spot right on the beach

Good atmosphere, great food & cocktails. Lovely staff.

The fish burger; fries, and crab fries were all delicious!

Slight internet issues with the tills so service was slow but well worth the visit and high quality food/drinks all around, would definitely return again with high hopes for something new.

I had they gelato in chocolate dip waffle Delicious Reasonable price Good service with smile although they were extremely busy,love it!

Tasty rum punch and good, local craft beers on the beachfront. Delicious breaded local fish with pickles and lettuce in a soft bap and the greek salad with fried local mackerel (today's special) was excellent. Beautiful setting and good service. Will definitely return!

I heard this place was good and it was certainly popular. But it was prohibitively expensive. Two fish rolls, one chips, a beer and a coke was £37. The fish rolls were reasonable enough, though over-priced. The chips were kebab shop standard. But the real irritant was that I tried to press “no tip” on the screen when it came to the payment and it ended up charging me a whopping 20% tip instead. It went through on my card before I realised - you have to be eagled eyed to swerve that little trick. Staff a bit disinterested. The sort of place Id love to love, but I just found that I could not.

Did not have food. Just a cold drink and my friend had a coffee and the dogs had dog ice cream

Lovely seaside promenade cafe, with plenty of seating (some covered) and an awesome menu. The Sunrise Sandwich, a large bap with smoked haddock, egg, chilli jam and lettuce is worth the visit alone. Shame there's no loos, but you can walk 200m along the prom and use the public ones.

Lovely location but was spoilt by incredibly loud and constant music being played. I would understand it if was late afternoon/evening time but this was at 9am! Also was very expensive £12.50 for a haddock bap on the breakfast menu.

Just wow !!! We only had coffees but you totally delivered!!! We will be back! Thank you! Whichever coffees you are currently serving KEEP IT!!

Lovely Goat Ledge, food is great fun and healthy, well organised, so many happy people, inclusive, vibrant, staff are warm and happy. Could not recommend more.

Nice place to go for a drink of some kind. It's outside. There's only a few tables inside. I believe all tables outside have a cover over head. But rain and cold can come in the sides. So wrap up warm if the weather isn't great. I've had service at the table once and the other times I've got it myself. So it's quite confusing on the service. But all staff are friendly.

Love this place!! Like family 😀

Second time I’ve visited this venue. My wife and I were in the area browsing and decided to try for lunch. Quite a windy day but shelter an seating provided with amazing choice of music. Felt like we could have been away in the tropics. We both opted for the sunrise bap and woooooooow. One of the most memorable flavours I’ve tasted , “ smoked haddock, fried egg , chilli and lettuce. Bag of fries , couple of beers . Close to the sea and we were in heaven. Didn’t have to wait long before my buzzer flashed red to alert me my food was ready to collect . Amazing team and venue.

Beachside cafe. Very limited foid menu and expensive.

What a cute place to sit and eat and chill! Enjoyed our morning brunch. Just wish there was a non bread option, as the fillings were superb! The chilli jam and fish were fresh and tasty!!

My absolute favourite dog-friendly spot. Every time I visit, there is something new and quirky on the menu! This time it was crab loaded fries - delicious and as ever, the staff and atmosphere were superb!

Very busy on a Sunday morning but only to be expected. Extremely popular spot on the beachfront. Coffees delivered promptly and good quality. Don't like take away cups. Recommended.

Nice stop for breakfast. Right on the seafront.

Great vibe. Food is OK. Queued for a while. Will definitely go again.

It's still OK but hasn't improved since my last review 2 years ago.

Lovely little pit stop whilst pit walking great craft beers and ciders, food looked lovely although we didn't eat, but will try in the future, lovely ambiance, will be stopping there again

Fish bap and a pint by the sea? I'm in.

We enjoyed a cake and hot drink here on a very drizzly last day of May. It was a mid-morning, mid-walk stop, but, even so, we were sorely tempted by the enticing menu, and myself by the draught and canned beer options. Plenty of fellow Goat Ledgers there, despite the weather! Made to feel very welcome. It was our first visit, but will assuredly not be our last. Cracking, and seemingly very well-run, little place.

Love this place, great vibe and staff. A tad expensive for the offer.

Great, hot and fresh food, friendly service, dogs welcomed, brilliant views, will visit again.

Brilliant spot for food and drinks. We had the classic fish bap and it is outstanding! Their big five smoothie is delicious too! Dogs welcome and kids love being on the beach

Great drinks and the most friendly, lovely service. Young man working there last weekend was a breath of fresh air with his friendly demeanour. Thank you!

We looked for a shady spot on the beach and found refuge there. We drank a smoothie and ate some ice cream to cool down and enjoyed the relaxed beach feeling. We found the colorful wooden huts very inviting and pretty.

A very friendly place on the sea front, perfect for any time of day for drinks, snacks, lunch and early evening. A lovely atmosphere. The tofu bap is recommended!

Gotta try the spicy katsu fries, insanely delicious! BTW, if “katsu” means “fried”, then is it called “spicy fried fries”？🤔

Great food, coffee and atmosphere. The fish bap in practicular is simply delicious 😋

Right on the front by the waves!

Not to be missed, especially if the weather is good. Colourful and full of life. Amazing fish burgers with skinny fries. The queue for ordering moves at a good pace - the system for placing an order & paying seems efficient. Staff seem happy and friendly. No loos though, you have to use the 'public conveniences' further along the promenade. Bring back the huts! I missed the chance to book a hut 😔

Great sandwiches and reasonably priced pints for an afternoon enjoying the sun.

Had the vegan smoked tofu and kimchi burger. Holy moly it was amazing. Brilliant vibes sitting out in the sun, people watching and listening to their great tunes. What an excellent place ❤️

Great beach front resturant and bar. Everyone working incredibly friendly and lovely breakfast

Nice cafe, nice view, nice people.

Lovely staff, very helpful. I struggled a bit putting my lid on my drink and they helped me straight away with a smile. They listened to me and made my drink perfectly. I didn’t consume any food but it definitely looked tasty. The prices are extremely reasonable and the location is fantastic. Definitely worth a visit if you get the opportunity to!

'I saw you coming' - Harry Enfileds classic sketch pre-empts this in the form of an overpriced junk shop,,,, however queues here are a mark of respect, and beach drinking locals are ignored like pesky seagulls... oh dear it began with feeding the poor fish ethics and where are we now - Bayte on the beach ?

Honestly this place heals the soul. A cafe on the beach with music playing, great coffee and food. Everyone always has a smile on their face, staff and customers both. Everytime I go there there's a line up the promenade (and it's always worth the wait) and the line moves fast. Colourful, hippy-esque, joyful and I went there most weekends for about a year to get a coffee and a sunrise sandwich or maybe a pastry or bacon bap. There's cover if its rainy or windy, you can book out your own private cosy little hut by the main building, they do cocktails sometimes or barbecues. When you turn up you never really know what they've thought up next, and it always seems to be expanding. For good reason. Long live Goat Ledge <3

Decent happy people Proper nice atmosphere here full of open minded people without judgement

The visit to Goat Ledge on Boxing Day was both aided and hindered by good weather! We were part of a long line of people waiting to order drinks. It seems there was another line for hot food, which we did not wait for. Service was polite and friendly, with so many people, people flow was slow but the live music was great. It is a fascinating place with covered huts/booths which can be rented although we have never done so. A lot of fun here

I've been a regular visitor to Goat Ledge for a while now and always enjoy the experience. In the winter the main cafe is closed up to protect it from the elements and 'baby goat' is open instead, a small kiosk style ordering booth. As the cafe is closed the menu is reduced but still fabulous, from the best cheese toasties with balsamic shallots (vegan cheese available as well, equally as good), homemade sausage rolls, soups and cakes. The coffee is wonderful and there are many varieties of drink available to help warm the cockles on a cold day (I'm a huge fan of the coconut milk mocha). Sit outside if the weather behaves, or in one of the themed huts out of the wind. Everyone is friendly and helpful and it's one of my fav places to stop on a walk. I mean who doesn't want to enjoy lunch while gazing out at the sea?!

Even on a cold windy Sunday morning in early December the Goat Ledge team will rajse your spirits and warm the cockles of your heart with a delicious and expertly made coffee... like the posh cafes do in that there Londom.

Great atmosphere on the seafront can book little themed wooden pods to sit in too.

Lovely hot chocolate stop on a slightly cold November day luckily it eas nice enough to ait outside wrapped up with a hot chocolate sausage rolls were really good too staff lovely a lovely wee place

Nice little place on the sea front. Decent toasties, had to take half home in a box! Good music and warm huts to sit in. Friendly staff.

I was recommended to eat here by a friend. As it was on the beach I wasn't expecting much of a atmosphere or many food options (aswell as being vegan) BUT I was pleasantly surprised to find a menu with lots of vegan options!! (Delicious too). The staff was extremely helpful and lovely! The atmosphere was wonderful AND to top it off, I was actually WARM!

BEST. TOASTIES. EVER. Like, really. Huge portions and delicious!! In contradiction to the previous, and typically sad "Janet review" - who didn't seem to even give Goat Ledge a try, yet still reviewed! Listen to me, not Janet!! Mark

Very disappointed. Only toasties and coffee in paper/plastic cups on offer. Didn't bother stopping. Much better menu few yards up next place up by Bottle Alley

Friendly staff and amazing tacos. Sitting in the little 🛖 makes it even better.

I write this from my bed where I have food poisoning.I cannot say definitely Goat Ledge BUT this was the only time for 3 days we did not eat exactly the same meal and it came on pretty much immediately. My friend actually went in today but the denials poured out before she could finish what she was saying. Given the brush off totally by a young man . This place started well a few years ago, but as St Leonards became more trendy it went downhill fast. Food is massively overpriced and pretty poor. Cocktails seem pre mixed and are really weak. Goat ledge is now off our list of eateries/drinkeries; there are so many fab around now.. you can do much much better. There are other places on the beach too.

Such a wonderful and friendly place with a great selection of hot chocolates.

It's a reasonably nice little place, but what they sell is pretty average, like everywhere else it's overpriced. What ruins this place is the music.. the music is bloody awful, especially the live stuff they have there. Its not too bad when there's a DJ but when their isn't, Ear plugs or headphones will improve the experience of having an overpriced coffee in a picturesque setting.

Great place on the beach at St Leonards. Wrap up warm if you are going in Autumn and winter!

Awesome place! Book a hut for the best experience.

Great cafe! Only baby goat 🐐 open during winter months. Love the painted beach huts and superb location on the ⛱️ beach. Great coffee!

Had a breakfast bap and coffeeso nothing fantastic. Cost a whopping 24 quid!!!!! Loved the vibe and the service though so don't mind too much.

Lovley drink and fish finger bapp on the way to Hastings served by nice helpful staff.

If your going to hastings this is a must pop in place absolutely fantastic, food ,drink,atmosphere, staff,believe me you can't go wrong calling in here ,sit back relax take in the veiws ,meet local people 100% pleasurable experience these need to be on every beach front

Great location, right on beach. Ordered 2 cocktails. Not strong at all, hardly any alcohol even though it was supposed to be a spiced rum drink. More like a smoothie and mocktail tbh and quite expensive.

It’s a Hastings institution. Fresh fish baps with all the trimmings, using local produce. I literally have been there and bought the tshirt as I love it so much.

Lovely to sit by the beach watching the sunset

This place is fantastic, after having to leave another venue this morning due to poor service and cold food,coming here was the best decision we made. The staff were friendly prompt, and the food was amazing . We will definitely be back.

This is such an iconic spot in St Leonards that all our friends who know the town recommended it. It's wonderful - such friendly staff, great drinks and yummy food...and a fantastic location right on the beach front. Highly recommend.

Open all day, v casual and tasty food. Colourful seats, vibey and little cabins you can book if it’s a bit windy. Feels very food truck/Aussie/Bali Super popular any time of day in the summer.

Being a Hastings resident and passing this place over the years. I thought i would pop in for a beer and have a look. Firstly the cost i had a pint of large and a glass of white wine. Wait for it £15.50 are they having a laugh. And to make things worse my pint was nearly undrinkable the only reason i persevered was it cost so much only manage half of it but ended up tipping in a plant pot. When you look around the whole thing is a sham and a greedy business for tourists which leads to giving Hasting St Leonards a bad reputation a poor example for us locals. Never go back there again

Love this place. Great atmosphere and food. When there's music and sunshine as well, it's amazing

Delicious tofu bap and katsu fries.

What a great find in Hastings. Such friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Very friendly place on the beach

I love the holiday vibe of this place. The staff are always upbeat and lovely.

Sunset. Paella. Deck Chair. Sea views. Blue skies. Live music (acoustic guitar). What's not to love?! Thank you Goat Ledge for gifting me the most wonderfully spontaneous evening soaking up some coastal vibes in the burning embers of summer 2023.... 🌞

It is a very nice place in what you would call a premium location. There's a lot of different "areas" to sit, but I can get VERY busy on a nice day so be prepared to don't have a table for a while. You can book some of the huts in advance and (apparently) you can't make a same day booking so if one is available you are free to take it. We had a "gentleman" kick us out from one as he claimed he had just made a booking but the staff later told us this was not possible. We didn't want to create a situation so we just sat somewhere else. Service is nice and friendly, but can be slow when there's too much demand. Beer was nice but we would have preferred some "non hipster" choice of lager. Overall very nice and we will very probably be back.

Stopped here for breakfast this morning. The vegan bap, amazing apparently. The bacon and egg bap, too die for. Us two nice teas as well. The bar is novel, the seating comfy , the surroundings colourful. Dog friendly. Fantastic views. We shall return.
