After arriving in Hastings and strolling round, we found this pub. Welcome was brilliant, beer was great and food was excellent. A small but welcoming pub. We had a classic fish and chips, and a delicious Sri Lankan fish curry. High recommend, dogs welcome and a great cosy ambience.

Lovely traditional pub in the heart of Hastings Old Town. Yet another top notch meal. If you’re looking for good, honest, hearty food, then look no further than Hastings Arms.

Pub had some interesting features and food is reputedly very good but as, noted by another reviewer, staff were quite stand offish - paricularly the woman who served me. They seemed friendly enough to the people they presumably knew sitting around the bar but otherwise were quite frosty - we noticed with other people who came in, not just us. Shame as we would have stayed to eat otherwise.

The food is lovely at this pub. I had calamari, and it was amazing. My daughter had bbq chicken fillets, which she loved. We'll definitely eat there again. Don't let the interior put you off. The staff are friendly and the service and food was great 👍

We have just been for a roast dinner at this local pub. The food was lovely and so much on the plate we struggled to finish it all. The bar staff were so helpful taking our order and providing drinks to our table. All in all a nice experience, not expensive considering the quality of the food served. Definitely will go here again before we go home

We were lucky to come across this beautiful pub while walking through the Old Town while on holiday in the area with our dog who was needing a break so we decided to stop for a drink, Loved it so much we ended up staying for more drinks and unfortunately did not make it back there on Tapas night, The lady on the bar was so friendly, helpful and welcoming and we will almost certainly make sure to visit again when near the area next.

Best Sunday roast on the South Coast! Veggies cooked to firm perfection, not a mush like some places. Lean slices of meat cut from a proper joint, tasty gravy and decent portions too - best pub grub around (and I’m particularly fussy about my roasts). That’s it - can’t go anywhere else, I’m spoiled now!

We had been searching around the town for a while looking for a traditional pub that served traditional fish and chips. So glad that we found this place. We had fish and chips twice with mushy peas and home made tartar sauce. We waited a while for the food (a good sign when it comes to fish and chips) and they were honestly worth the wait. The fish was so fresh with a lovely batter and the chips were cooked perfectly. My 6 year old had the nuggets and these were also of a good quality. He said they were the nicest nuggets he’d ever eaten. We’ll be back when next in Hastings.

My partner Lou and I have just had a fantastic meal. Starters were whitebait for her and squid for me. The whitebait tasted as if it had just been caught, battered and fried then served! The squid was so tender with a sweet chilli dip and just as tasty. But the best rave goes to the Spanish style fish stew. We can't recommend this delicious meal enough. The base sauce was very tasty with the flavour of chorizo, chick peas and herbs & spices. Generous portions of clams, whitefish, prawns and mussels. Very satisfying with a slice of toasted tiger bread to mop up the delicious sauce. Will be back for more or the Sri Lankan curry next visit.

We popped in here on Sunday for a roast with some friends who had never been to Hastings before, so we wanted to show them the real Old Town charm. The Hastings Arms didn't let us down. A lovely cosy pub with super friendly staff really set the tone. Our reserved table was ready to go and we had drinks in hand in no time. I opted to get some whitebait as a starter, as being by the sea, it would be silly not to! It was tasty, and even my three year old loved the idea of eating whole fish! Next up was the roast, and it was fantastic. I personally had the lamb and am very glad I didn't get the large. I can generally put away a roast of any size without too much trouble, but even the medium is a very generous serving size. The meat was delicious and not dry like a lot of lamb roasts can be, so that was great. A special mention goes to the gravy. Oh that gravy! So thick and full of flavour! All too often a pub gravy is a watery mess, but not this one. It was perfect! All in all, I we loved it. The kids serving looked very much like our adult ones, just served in a big bowl, so that made us chuckle. Our friends loved Hastings so much that they opted not to visit Rye the next day and to mooch around old town some more. Great tucker and I would strongly recommend a visit!

We'd booked for a birthday celebration of 17 people. Table provided for 15 and when we asked the guy at the bar, he said he would get us 2 more chairs. When we said we wouldn't fit around an already snug setting, he said "well you'll have to". The lady then came over and started to count us incorrectly and when we said we can count and 2 people were without seats she got rather stroppy. We decided to leave due to the ignorance and attitude. Mistakes happen and it could have been easily rectified by them but they decided to handle it this way instead. They then proceeded to shout after us as we left, "Thanks guys!" In a very sarcastic way. Shocking hospitality which meant they missed out on a nearly £1k bill which a very hospitable restaurant gained instead.

Visited at lunchtime with my brother last week. About half a dozen 'locals' enjoying a beer. The guy behind the bar was reasonably welcoming and the beer (Shepherd Neame's Spitfire) well kept and clear as a bell. Unfortunately we were overcharged at the first attempt, but the mistake was realised and quickly resolved. Interior was clean with excellent furnishing, which reflected the period and heritage of the pub. Lots of nooks and cosy areas for patrons to enjoy their drinks and soak up the atmosphere. The food looked good judging by what we saw being served. Unfortunately, a large group of mums with babes and toddlers arrived and occupied a corner, raising the noise level and making what was a quiet pint into a less relaxing experience. But they were quite rightly enjoying the pub in their own way. Overall a decent experience and certainly worth a return visit.

Popped in for a coffee break but was so disappointed with the experience . Bought an apple donut and a cappuccino but was given the donut on a paper bag? I asked for a plate but was simply told 'we don't have plates to give'? So had to eat a very messy donut on a PAPER BAG which I had no idea where's it's been. Secondly the air conditioning wasn't working and it was so warm, the staff were sweating. Not the experience I was expecting.

Very dissapointed as a regular here over the last year always enjoyed the SUPERB service provided by all the staff here however totally at a loss as to the company's decision to not only shrink there Small and large Rolls but last visit on buying my breakfast Roll (warm sausages in 2) I questioned the price and it was confirmed to me that my roll had gone up £1.05 in price which in itself was quite an increase but double wammy as the size of roll had clearly shrunk in size but here's the thing I usually take a large roll with chicken mayo and tomato for lunch at the same time this roll was STILL THE SAME PRICE so how can a small roll with literally hardly anything init COST MORE than a large which was always generously filled with fillings even a Prawn Roll large in chiller is cheaper. When i asked the lovely ladies I was politely told sausages and bacon had gone up. I did email the office but had no reply so here we are . Just wondered how many of you put there had notice the rolls shrinking and this price difference. I kno a few that stop buying sausage rolls after a huge increase nut there's justification for increases yes but I also feel there's taking the mic !

The Coffee Pod is one of several coffee stops on Hastings seafront open from 8am (see also “Goat Ledge Café” and “Starsky and Hatch”) but has the disadvantage that it is exposed to the elements (wind, rain etc). After seeing a lot of good reviews online decided I must try and visit. In the end we visited twice: once of an early morning coffee, then again for an ice-cream one afternoon. The Coffee Pod seems to be part of Goodmans Barbers and Coffee Spot which is situated in The Courtyard nearby and also on St Leonard’s seafront.
