Land of Green Ginger in Hastings

Absolutely wonderful little place. We we're here for private function. the food was just impeccable the pumpkin soup 👌 the service was excellent We were provided with our own private menu and the table was decorated beautifully. Highly recommended especially if you're also looking for vegan / gluten free food ☺

Just had an amazing afternoon tea to celebrate my cousin's 70th birthday beautiful food and delicious coffee and met the most gorgeous little resident doggie Alfie thank you so much for a lovely afternoon Alfie's Dad🤣🤣xx

What a find! Tucked away off the main drag this was a perfect find for a lite lunch. Food was delicious, we both had Dahl which was so tasty we both wanted to lick our bowls 😂 The staff were really friendly too Good value

Staying locally this lovely cafe was recommended and didn’t disappoint. Warm and cheerful. Good breakfast choices from full cooked with local sausages to porridge. We enjoyed perfectly cooked poached eggs and piping hot coffee. Toast served in a toast rack! Great place.

Only other person there, couple already eating. Got my order wrong and by time corrected rest of my breakfast cold, very insincere apology and poor response to it being pointed out. Given there prices it was not worth it.

A unique cafe, with food and service that far exceeded what we were expecting. Offering vegan and Gluten free options. The staff were attentive and polite and the food was outstanding and great value for money. Would definitely recommend for vegan diners!

I went here because the pub opposite (Jenny Lind) use it for guests staying there. I loved the cafe - the owner is super friendly and polite and he has two little dogs that hang around. The food is freshly cooked individually and is excellent. There seem to be lots of locals that go there and one chap told me he had breakfast there every day. Don't go if you want a quick instant breakfast - it's made to order and it takes just as long as if you were making it at home. I consider this a gem of a place - a real find.

I am visiting from Australia and stumbled across this restaurant in Hastings. I am so glad I did! We all ordered different options. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was perfect, hot, delicious, tasty and well presented. The scrambled egg was a standout! I just wish I lived closer so that I could go daily! Thank you so much for the perfect start to the perfect day.

I came into the restaurant today for lunch. I was served by a lovely young man. He was very helpful and kind to me. Unfortunately I did hear the owner being rude to him. It sounded like he wanted to do more than one thing at one time. Even though my lunch was served to me a little bit longer than I had hoped I completely understood as the restaurant was quite busy. I was completely shocked and disgusted with the way the owner was talking to this young man that they have hired to help them with the service of this restaurant, therefore I am not rating this visit on how my food was or how I was served but by the rudeness of the owner. I am absolutely appalled that the owner can get away with talking to their staff like this. That is no way to treat a fellow human being, especially as they are trying to work their hardest in a busy place. This is not the first time I have heard the owner being like this. This is disgusting behaviour- they should not be allowed to run a place like this is that is how they treat their staff.

When walking through Hastings old town we stumbled across this lovely tea rooms , we have been here for lunch and now breakfast, all the food is locally sourced and cooked fresh and you get to enjoy it in the company of the owner beautiful dogs

We visited Hastings for our honeymoon, we were welcomed by Keith and his partner Genie and staff. We felt like part of the family ,in this friendly cafe where nothing was too much trouble He made us feel like he had known us years The breakfast was the best we have had in a long time.The teapots were amazing We were made to feel.special and we must admit we both felt like we were leaving family. If you want a dog friendly breakfast, with friendly conversation and great food This is a must place to visit We definitely will visit again when we can

A little disappointed. Garden not as pretty as the pictures. Lunch uninspiring. Small tasty salad with a small portion of hummus and some pale oil(not olive) with decent bread, balsamic vinegar and seeds at over £10 was a tad underwhelming. No curry available so had sausage and bubble which was good but expensive for the portion size.

We choice this cafe because we were looking for a breakfast place that allowed dogs and we were so pleased to find this cafe in the high street in the Old Town of Hastings. Wow what a breakfast, it was amazing and the service was first class. We can highly recommend this place.

Chose this cafe because of its name which has connections to our home town so glad we did Lovely place for breakfast . Best scrambled egg I have ever had . Quality food well cooked . Tea was a large pot which was replenished with hot water . Friendly staff who took time to sit and chat with us and explain why they had chosen the name . Will definitely be returning whenever we come down to this part of the country

We visit this great little eatery every time that we visit Hastings - the food is great, the staff so friendly and the atmosphere so calm. We always make a point of having breakfast in here the Tuesday after Jack in the Green - as after the hectic and busy long weekend, this is just the place to relax over a leisurely breakfast and watch the world go by; we always end up bumping into friends here - and everyone says the same - the best place to eat in Hastings. Always pleased to go here - and always made very welcome.

My sister and I only discovered this delightful gem of an eatery about a month ago. Since then, we've been there for 2 x breakfasts and 1 x lunch. They have extensive menus for both breakfasts and lunches, including many vegan and vegetarian options. Most...

First, I’ve been going here for yearsss and wish they’d just get a COUPLE new things on the menu! I love you guys but give me something new to try, pretty please! :D Also, I made an honest mistake this time and forgot to order...

Lovely food, good value and great customer service. Very pleasant visit having walked out of another local cafe.

The food was delicious and beautifully cooked. We met all the dogs., great characters. We had breakfast inside followed by coffee in the garden. Nothing was too much trouble. Such lovely people will definitely go again.

Once lockdown was lifted, my family came to visit me after a horrendous year and major surgery so it was a fabulous catch up This place is always top of the list for them, as they love the breakfast, and as you can’t book at...

A fantastic place. Lovely atmosphere, especially so the outside eating area. Great staff, great food, brilliant selection. All round it's a wonderful place to dine. I would (and do!) highly recommend.

Fabulous as always. I’ve been coming here since I moved to Hastings and it’s a fabulous place for breakfast and coffee or tea with great cakes baked by Keith. Yesterday they organised an afternoon tea especially for me and two visiting friends. Yummy sandwiches and...

Really impressed after dropping in on this small, independent cafe. The menu was interesting and super tasty and the service was excellent. It epitomises everything good about a small, indie cafe.

Excellent afternoon tea for three there this afternoon. Lots of sandwiches, delicious scones and continually topped up tea. This place is really welcoming. The garden space at the back is great when the weather allows.

We stopped off at the land of green ginger as the children were tired and we desperately needed a pit stop before getting back on the road. As soon as we arrived the masters moved tables around to accommodate us (family of 4) and showed...

The breakfast ,although took its time to arrive, was pleasant. However the one star indicates our strong discomfort at hearing the owner shouting and swearing at his staff member( a young man) in an aggressive and bullying manner. It could be heard clearly both inside...

The good thing about this place is Vanessa!! The chef/owner is a bully, to talks to his staff like crap and treats them like it to.. the poor young boy with brown hair is bullied by him, twice he threw stuff at him.. the breakfast.waotimg...

Visited several times for breakfast and afternoon tea from Maidstone. Superb food beautifully presented, wonderful friendly staff nothing too much trouble even with a fussy 9 year old grandson. Food sometimes takes a little while because of their extremely small kitchen, but was well worth...

Best breakfast in a long while. Not huge just right size and cooked lovely. You can get cheaper breakfasts but I doubt you will get a better one. Looking forward to my next visit.

When my full vegan breakfast arrived after a 55 minute wait it consisted if two sausages and a grilled tomato. Luckily I had ordered extras. The food was well cooked and tasty however, my party and I cannot in good faith recommend the establishment. When...

Waited nearly an hour for food, no apology or update. When mentioned it politely, the gentleman interrupted me, with a defensive reply that they had a small kitchen, before I could mention that 2 sausages and a tomato was a disappointing vegan breakfast. In all...

We stopped in for breakfast before walking to Rye. The food and hospitality were excellent. We received a warm welcome, a well made cappuccino and two great plates of breakfast - will definitely return.

Decided to give this place ago for brekkie having seen all the good reviews on TA. Two full English breakfasts did not disappoint in any aspect, service was very good, quality of ingredients, presentation was excellent ... just as in the photo actually! Decent coffee...

We were so lucky to find this fabulous little restaurant. We saw it on our way past and thought that we would give it a go. We were so glad that we did. The service was excellent, extremely friendly and our food and drinks arrived...

I visited with my wife and two children back in August, and we received a warm and friendly welcome from all of the staff. The breakfasts were traditional and very tasty and it was lovely sat outside in the courtyard. One of our children is...

Exceptional English breakfast, absolutely the best bubble i’ve ever had including my own, our kitchen is being replaced so will be visiting again this week.

A wonderful find. Friendly welcoming atmosphere. Offered drinks soon after we entered and the coffees arrived quickly. We were left to browse the menu at our leisure. The lady looking after us was attentive and her timing was impeccable. We never felt rushed, but never...

We had a lovely breakfast here, very friendly staff, quaint little cafe in old town. Fabulous oat milk coffee!

A great, simple breakfast. A lovely little cafe with a good breakfast menu that’s uncomplicated but has some great choice. The bacon breakfast was delicious, the coffee was great and it was a fab start to the morning. Thank you

A lovely breakfast. Good choice of menu. Superb coffee and very efficient service, Thank you to all concerned.

Green Ginger was recommended to me a while back. As I was in Hastings I had lunch there. I thought it wasn't busy as I hadn't realised there was another seating area to the rear. Ate salmon and dill fishcakes with salad etc. and it...

Thankyou so much 😊 I had the best gluten free toast ever and the yummiest scrambled eggs and salmon, a wonderful start to a Monday morning !

Staff were kind enough to reserve us a table when I called to enquire. Breakfasts were all very decent and all came out together. A range of breakfasts were on offer which was good as one of us is vegan (there wasn't an alternative to...

Wonderful food with attentive friendly staff. -they can’t do enough. Best bubble and squeak I have ever had 😀

Our first visit and will not be our last. We took our very special friend to celebrate turning eighty. We booked our table and when she arrived they very kindly had put a birthday card on the table for her. A very lovely touch. The...

Tried to book a table for a friend’s birthday brunch and staff were quite rude over the phone. A table was reserved however when we arrived, everyone’s breakfast came out incorrectly and a wait of 20mins between the first meal last coming out. Many items on each meal were missing (eg a veggie breakfast which should have had sausage, mushrooms, tomato and potatoes arrived with no mushrooms or tomato and bubble instead of potatoes) and a pathetic 50p discount was given as compensation.So disappointing, won’t be back and certainly wouldn’t recommend.

Having just returned from a family visit to Hastings I had the good fortune to have returned here for breakfast on a damp Sunday morning. Not only did it just so happen to be where myself and my now grown up daughter used to eat chocolate cake when she was little, but they also rescued us from not being able to find a decent cooked breakfast past 11:00 am on a Sunday morning. The wonderful staff could give a masterclass on how to run a small establishment. The vegetarian breakfast was faultless as was the service. Quiet unassuming people who not only made us feel entirely welcome but special thanks goes to the cook who kept the kitchen open especially to prepare us breakfasts, as they normally stop after 11:00 am also. Also the lady who not only was serving but helped us entertain our two year old by bringing him little books and crayons etc. will definitely return. Sensibly priced quality food beautiful cooked and professionally served. I loved this place as you can probably tell.

This is a lovely little cafe with excellent food and service. They do excellent breakfast for both the meat eater, vegetarian and vegan - really superb. The food was really well cooked and fresh - a real little gem on the high street.

I had breakfast here every day during my recent week in Hastings. Each day my vegetarian choice was professionally cooked and beautifully served to me. The restaurant is decorated in keeping with its old town location and the staff are friendly and welcoming.I always choose to eat here on my many visits to wonderful Hastings.Based on my experience I can highly recommend the Land of Green Ginger.

This place is extremely dated with very poor front of house, the lady serving brought no atmosphere at all. The coffee was even worse with a latte looking more like a filter coffee and the tea pot ordered came with a dirty cup and saucer with the server bringing it over wiping the dirt of with her finger and continuing to place it on the table knowing that it was dirty! Not worth the money at all the only good thing was sheltering from the pouring rain.

Ordered the vegetarian breakfast and it was served without veggie sausages, beans and mushrooms!! All I got was bubble and squeak, eggs and tomato with toast. After pointing this out to staff, I got the mushrooms and vegan sausages a while later - but no beans. Asked for well- done eggs but they were runny. Vegan sausages were horrible and Coffee was below par. Would not recommend this place.

My wife, 12 year old son, and I went for breakfast to The Land of Green Ginger. I was craving a full English breakfast, my youngest wanted French toast (eggy bread) or pancakes, and my wife was open to ideas.We all got what we wanted, and it was all delicious. Portions were generous, the food was both prepared and plated meticulously, and the service was impeccable.As Canadians, we were incredibly surprised to find that the maple syrup brought to our table for the eggy bread was the real stuff, and very high quality - the brand and size we actually regularly buy at home!\Although the meal was a little on the expensive side, it wasn't out of place for the High Street in Hastings during tourist season, and I'd recommend it as a lovely spot to start the day before going off exploring the Old Town.

Breakfast outside at the back of this restaurant is always a delight. The garden is in the heart of the Old Town so no noisy cars or footfall going past. Wonderful friendly owners who show that nothing is too much trouble. Hot tea, cold juice, warm toast and a delicious breakfast of your choice. We always return.

On rainy Saturday morning we had a great breakfast at this small and popular cafe. Catered well for GF options and offered a vegan breakfast. Understood which options could be switched to make it GF. Friendly staff - good service. Scrambled egg and smoked salmon and a vegan breakfast had been cooked with care and nicely presented. Nice atmosphere. Would visit again.

Charming small garden experienced attentive staff Good ingredients well presented We really liked this place and had a good light lunch experience

Thank you for a lovely breakfast and service, it was great start to a Saturday morning . Recommended!

Been here on a few occasions now and each time my full English breakfast has been faultless.Granted you could get a breakfast cheaper elsewhere but the quality here is worth paying that little bit extra for.The atmosphere is relaxing and peaceful adding to the experience of eating superb food.I shall return regularly

A few days ago, my eldest son and I were looking for somewhere to have lunch in Hastings Old Town that had easy wheelchair access and no steps, so that my mum could get in and out easily.

Breakfast with the pooch sat out the back in the garden. Dogs are allowed inside also. Food was awesome as always, never had a bad meal here.

Stated at jenny lind and included was breakfast at this high end cafe and didn't disappoint was a very high standard breakfast and young man that served us was extremely helpful would definitely recommend

Have been past before but it always busy. Today there was room so decided give it a try. The lady wasn't particularly welcoming nor informative. I had to ask wether we ordered at counter or took a seat. We were not even given a menu so just asked for cake as we could see that. The lady just kind of stood in front of me as if she didn't want me to look. My partner said it felt " clicky" . Sadly wont be going back.

It was lunchtime, I was hungry and it looked busy. As non vegetarian, I think this was the best fallafel and salad lunch I have ever had. This will become a firm favourite in future

Looked so promising from outside but woman serving was brusque bordering on rude. Plenty of nice cafes in Hastings unfortunately this is one of them

Been going here for years, the food and cakes are always good. In the summer the garden is little oasis. Recently the team at Land of Green Ginger did the catering for our family event and the thought, care and darn good cooking made it a wonderful day we will always remember .

We highly recommend the Thai yellow curry - it was truly excellent, as was the ginger parkin! A lovely find, if a trifle expensive. I also think they would get more customers if they de-misted the windows, as we walked past initially, thinking it was shut. But definitely recommended for the food.

We popped in here for some lunch, despite thinking it was closed at first because the windows were so steamed up we couldn't see in at all. We were seated and served promptly. The food was a pretty expensive in my mind, nearly £13 for two small bean tacos, some rice and mixed leaf salad seems a bit extortionate, but it was very tasty with a good kick. The carrot cake was absolutely delicious too! One thing we didn't like was having plates cleared while others were still eating ...it's only a little thing but does make an impact. Over all, I'd definitely pop back in for coffee and cake if I was in the area!

I was introduced to this establishment as it was the breakfast stop for the Jenny Lind B & B opposite. Lovely breakfast, super freshly brewed coffee and the staff are pleasant and efficient. Newspapers provided, great way to start your day.

Breakfast in the Land of Green Ginger is amazing. I may be old fashioned but the bubble and squeak ,Black pudding,locally sourced sausage and bacon is delicious. the staff are all very friendly and the owner is a lovely man who cannot do enough for you

Half bowl of vegetable soup and slice of brown bread £7.50. We were expecting great thinks for the price. Chunky vegetable soup was watery and only half a bowl. Chunky brown bread was one slice. I had a tea so total price £17.00. Absolutely crazy. Went to the Fig afterwards and their soup and bread £4.75 and far heartier.

We had breakfast at LoGG twice during our 3 day visit to Hastings, it was nowhere near where we were staying however it is that good it's worth getting a cab to. All the ingredients are of good quality served by friendly and professional staff, what's not to love?

Went in for Sunday breakfast and our first impressions were very good. It's a well presented and popular place and the menu looked good.

Excellent breakfast - the sausage butties are particularly good. Friendly staff and a resident (very well-behaved) dog named Rosie.

I stayed for four days in rooms above the Jenny opposite and breakfast was provided here for guests. And what a delicious full English breakfast! Some afternoons I indulged in their mouth watering Lemon drizzle cake with ice cream.Yummy! I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

We found this restaurant by chance - we wanted somewhere that was not "fish and chips" and not part of a major chain. This looked very local and we ate outside in the small sunny garden area. The fish cakes were just salmon and dill, nothing else. Beautiful. With a delicious salad and new potatoes.

We had a delicious tea here. It was a sunny afternoon so we were able to sit in the garden. The inside looked lovely too.

We visited this place today for breakfast. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and the garden is lovely.

This is our favourite breakfast spot in the Old Town. Great food, tea and coffee and lovely staff. Little garden particularly restful on a warm day.

Breakfast is always a pleasure at land of green ginger everything cooked to perfection and always fresh

Beautiful backyard garden. Great vibes and really friendly staff! The traditional English breakfast was really good.

Lovely quiet and cared for garden courtyard. Friendly staff and beautiful menu. Menu had lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Would recommend the Pate’ (not vegetarian) Well worth a visit - would definitely return

Visited this hidden gem on the off chance and am so pleased with my choice. Upon arrival I was greeted by welcoming staff and told I could sit in the garden if I liked. The garden was a magnificent treasure with such a warm homely atmosphere (I never wanted to leave) . Food was delicious, staff were extremely attentive and friendly, both inside and outside were clean and well maintained by the hard working staff that run the business. Look forward to returning. Will be recommending a visit here to everyone I can!

I was so intrigued by the vitriolic reviews of a few here that I just had to go and see for myself.

The most important thing was the food: well prepared and tasty. Also I was impressed by the warm helpful service and the atmosphere in the cafe.

Tucked away near the end of the old High Street ... a destination café for coffee and cakes and good service ... yum!

I always pop in to the Land of Green Ginger when in Hastings Old Town - the best coffee and scones to be had!

It is so hard to find vegetarian let alone vegan food - this cafe has a wonderful selection of home-made food which was perfect for me. The cakes were light and delicious, with extras like nuts and spices, and even the coffee was wonderful. My friends and I were treated so well by the friendly staff and we particularly liked the garden, a little focus of peace in a busy world. There were teapots for sale too! The toilets were the cleanest I have ever experienced, which says a great deal about the owners' commitment to cleanliness and hygiene - also apparent in the cafe itself. It is in a prime position in the old town and I will definitely go back again and again. There is even a poem of the day on the counter, and in the garden a little inscription which reads "In the garden of happy memories it is always summer". That just about sums up my experience in the wonderfully named Land of Green Ginger.

I was staying at the Jenny Lind for my 3rd visit and breakfast is served at the lovely Land of Green Ginger (directly opposite the accommodation). The food was as good as ever and the service was efficient and friendly. As well as Jenny Lind guests eating here, there were many regular locals and general visitors.

Visited this cafe for coffee had to wait nearly 1hr!! Yes it was May Day but they were doing lots of take outs... please concentrate on one or other so customers are not neglected.

Always pop in at least once when in hastings as it is simply a lovely place for breakfast

We took a visit to this cafe today and we went to eat in the garden. Our table was covered with plates etc. I went inside to ask if we could have it cleared and the man who I assumed was the owner very rudely responded to me. Our table didn’t get cleared for 15 minutes. I then went inside and got our own menu and sat back down. We then heard a massive crash in the cafe and one of the waitresses spilt a boiling hot coffee over a poor mans back and all over their breakfast. The staff were very rude to the man and didn’t even apologise. His back was blistered and he was in so much pain! Finally a lady came over to take our order and then decided to go off again for another 10 minutes because her pen had ran out. She had no expression on her face and didn’t even speak to us. When we eventually got our food it was very basic and poor! Will not be visiting here again!

We spent a couple of nights at the Jenny Lind opposite (also very successful) and just hopped across the narrow street to the Land of Green Ginger for breakfasts which were lovely and served up by a welcoming host. As a coeliac, I have to have gluten free food which was no problem for them. I'm also a vegetarian and the Land of Green Ginger had a lunch menu with several meals to suit my need and taste - not just a baked potato and cheese, but a number of creative dishes! I heartily recommend this place and would certainly go there again. It is very dog friendly too, which goes down well with me as I love all mutts :).

We walked for miles over the cliffs into the Hastings Old Town. By the time we arrived we were thirsty and hungry. The Land Of Green Ginger looked welcoming and the menu looked like our sort of food. We were not disappointed as we both had superb salads and delicious lemon drizzle cake whilst sitting in their garden which felt Mediterranean in the heat and sunshine ( although it was April). The owners were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back when we next go to Hastings.

We were staying at The Jenny Lind and were given vouchers for breakfast here, I loved this idea as we could check out at 11 then walk over for a relaxed breakfast. The breakfast was delicious and the service excellent, I would definitely come back here even if I wasn't staying at The Jenny Lind

Staying locally this lovely cafe was recommended and didn’t disappoint. Warm and cheerful. Good breakfast choices from full cooked with local sausages to porridge. We enjoyed perfectly cooked poached eggs and piping hot coffee. Toast served in a toast rack! Great place.

I had my 60th bash at the Jenny Lind Hastings. The catering was provided by “land of green ginger” just across the road. Gene and Kieth surpassed any catering experience I could have hoped for. Courteous easy to deal with and extremely efficient. The food was sublime. Try and find a better sausage roll? I don’t think so. The food kept coming feeding my guests to what they said was an unexpected treat. Plenty to eat, plenty of great tastes and to finish off,our breakfast was served there the following morning after our wonderful evening and stay at the Jenny Lind.

Not intending to stay long, I ordered an egg mayonnaise sandwich and pot of tea and couldn't believe how good they both tasted. Egg and bread completely fresh and such a good pot of tea. Of course I couldn't leave after that I so ordered rhubarb crumble and ice cream, which were delicious! Lovely staff and great menu. Highly recommended and I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Relaxed atmosphere and a great menu in the heart of Hastings old town. Helpful staff able to offer advice and information about the local area. Definitely recommended.

We had a nice English breakfast here. Nice sausages & bacon. Scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. Would come again.

Have got to say, this was one of the best breakfast we have had...very friendly staff and a real bonus after staying at the Jenny lind

have been to this place a couple of times and although small it produces lovely coffee and delicious lunches
