Marina Fountain in Hastings

Lovely large traditional English pub / restaurant. Lots of outside seating. Dog friendly. We have a select Sunday roast. Very reasonable prices. Book in advance as it’s very popular

If you’re looking for a gem on the St. Leonard’s Hastings seafront, look no further than this pub. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a super friendly atmosphere, largely thanks to the owners who truly know their stuff. Their passion for hospitality is evident, making every guest feel Welcome. The nduja and pepperoni pizza is an absolute must-try—it’s a solid 10/10. We also had the cheeseburger , which exceeded my partners expectations. It was juicy and flavorful, served with freshly hand-cut chips that were simply delicious. The decor is charming, and the music adds to the ambiance, creating the perfect backdrop for a relaxing meal. This pub truly nails it on every front—food, service, decor, and atmosphere. It feels like a great locals’ spot where you can unwind and enjoy quality time. I can’t wait to return and try their Sunday roast! Well done, guys—you’ve created something special here!

Great pub, always a good time in here. Bar staff are very friendly, food is spot on and the atmosphere is always welcoming.

We ate at this pub twice in the last week ,once for the superb value stake night which is on a Wednesday. The menu is lovely with some very original things like like a starter of half a pint of honey and mustard cocktail sausages which were divine . The welcome and service is charming and there are some lovely real ales as well as nice wine to go with the stake night . We were really impressed with the effort that has gone into turning this pub into a regular venue for all occasions . Our next visit will be to the burger night which s also excellent value .

Excellent value for really great steak meal ,very friendly staff a great evening

Sat in rear garden real suntrap landlord really welcoming , lovely inside

What a great pub! The food was great, beer was great! The bar team are great too. Will be going back!

The pub hosted my father's 90th birthday! A truly great experience for all who attended. They provided a really lovely buffet style lunch that covered all dietary requirements. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Can't recommend it highly enough 5 well deserved stars. Thank you Marina Fountain.

Cheeky little pint after a trip to the beach. Lovely pub inside and great space outside although a bit tired. Fab beer, lovely friendly and accommodating staff. Pizzas phenomenal! 100% new favourite pub on the seafront!

Lovely friendly staff and fabulous food, we loved Jarvis, will definitely be back next time we visit hastings

Very pleasant venue, good outdoor sheltered seating area at back, bit of a sun trap too. Easy free parking on sea front 100m away.

You are immediately greeted in a very cheerful and funny way and continue to be looked after in a friendly manner... delicious food, many guests of all generations

Went for a evening with the wife, lovely atmosphere, great staff, beer/spirits price not bad, we both decided to have the burger, lovely especially with the bacon, strange with a meatball on top but that was tasty too, Only 2 downsides, chips weren't that great, can tell from frozen bag not hand cut in house and no mention of service charge when came to getting the bill at 10% otherwise would have gone to the bar itself to order food and last drink

I had a Bloody Mary and wow the taste really awakened the tastebuds really good.We had roast chicken and roast beef with cauliflower cheese.The roasts were perfection.There was no boiled veg all were either roasted and the cabbage with the bacon was delicious and such a selection also the only time I have ever eaten roast potatoes when I have eaten out.So happy to have found this pub it’s a lovely place to go.

Check out this fantastic, warm and welcoming pub by the sea. Grab a seat, enjoy great food (rustic pizza is delicious), and a refreshing beer with the best landlords in St Leonards-on-Sea. Dog friendly and relaxing - we met their cocker spaniel 'Jarvis' - with a friendly atmosphere. It has an excellent beer garden. JJ and Marina Fountain family will always make you feel welcome. We can't wait to go back.

Kind & welcoming service! Lovely beer garden and JJ makes a delicious Bloody Mary 👍🏽

Went on a Monday daytime. Quiet as you'd expect. Bar man was very pleasant, attentive and knows how to run a pub. Ale was lovely, tasted nice and fresh (rarer occurance than you'd expect in St leonards). Decent sized garden and dog friendly

A truly splendid pub venue for Acid House, on the seaside with a pumping sound system, jumping dancefloor action, kind friendly hosts & staff with a brilliant atmosphere for dance enthusiasts. Thank you for the great nights. 🔊❤️⚓

Just popped in for a pint, not the best time as it was sound check for the band. Sat in garden which is about the best pub garden in town. Harveys bitter was good. Will go again.

It's obviously had a lot of money spent on it and it shows. It's got it's own quirky character. A lot to like about this one.

£10 for two pints of flat lemonade.

Great service, relaxed atmosphere and first class food 👍

A gem of a pub, with lovely staff and delicious food.

Great place to relax friendly staff it's like being at home

Overpriced, nearly £30 for three simple drinks and two portions of chips.

Excellent location. Good service. OK ambience. Would recommend.

We had Sunday lunch: not sure whether noisy, exuberant children is the norm. Meat was delicious but needed a greater vegetable selection.

Chicken wings were amazing!! Chips were lovely and crispy

Excellent place two go and disable friendly

Popped in today with my dog after a long walk. I was served by two lovely and caring young ladies. Made us feel welcome. I had a very pleasant couple of Harvey's at a good price. Did not eat but overheard customers saying how much they enjoyed their lunch and would be back for the Sunday roast. I recommend a visit.

We only went in for a drink , but some of the plates of food wafting by smelt and looked delicious 😋

Great little pub located just across the road from the beach and Grosvenor Gardens. Lived locally for a few years but only just got around to visiting. Friendly staff, plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors in their rear beer garden. No car park but free parking is available nearby.

A very buzzing atmosphere in this pub on the edge of St Leonards. Dog friendly and has a tapas style menu. A great pub if you are looking for a London vibe and have friends visiting. Sometimes they have DJs and live music.

Hmm… another one of those pubs where the publican thinks putting 65% ice cubes in your pint of juice is a good thing. Does save them giving you juice though- as the glass is full of ice 🙄

Nice pub lovely history beer garden nice barstaff answered loads of questions for us about 1066 etc lovely people 😀

Lush wild flower beer garden- such a nice pub came across it by accident. Dog friendly

Lovely garden. Good selection of beers that are looked after. Well curated selection of DJ's/events.

Booked online for Sunday roast dinner for 2 on 11 June. Very disappointed to discover that this was not the usual traditional roast dinner we had enjoyed on previous visits with Yorkshire pudding roast potstoes, carrots parsnips etc but a Sunday 'summer' roast dinner with beef, new potatoes and vegetables basically spring greens with a few peas and broad beans mixed in described as a fricasee? This included a salsa verde and watery gravy which didn't belong together. Portion was also smaller than usual. We complained to the waitress and to the manager who said we should have read the online menu before we booked. As we are local and and had Sunday roast here many times begore we didn't feel the need to look at the menu. Would not eat here again!

Nice seating out back in huts and good mezze like plates delivered efficiently by pleasant staff. Good virgin Mary. Nice place to pop in to midway home from long walk. Recommend

Decent Sunday lunch! I had beef which was good though we were all rather perplexed that salt and pepper pots weren't available. Sachets of salt and pepper, we think you can do better! 😉

Nice enough pub..smart sort of pub for smart sort of people..beer was good, wasn't cheap! Wasnt surprised

May Bank Holiday weekend, Jack in the Green. You'd imagine that Sunday lunch would be a tough service. Not for these guys! They've cracked it! Really good service, very good selection of wine and the food, wow, the best Sunday roast for miles I'd say! The pork was extremely well cooked, tasty and juicy with lots of crackling. The vegetables were cooked really nicely and the roast potatoes were crispy and an ample supply of them. Thanks guys!! Will be back!

Sat out back in the sun..beer good...wine adequate...in good weather it can be too doggy and kiddyfide...but I' m a tad old school..

Just a wonderful place. Great atmosphere, popular. Clean and cozy, really enjoyed are visit. Will definitely go again

Excellent Sunday lunch, highly recommended

The space is nice but I didn't think that the food was particularly good value.

Great staff, big group of us and they looked afte reveyone really well

Absolutely brilliant such a good vibe always feel comfortable and so welcome...tasty tasty beers and delish food thanking you..

Didn't like the way the barman spoke to me. Aggressive and made me want to leave.

Great pub with a nice style inside. Dog friendly. Lots of space to sit.

Really nice pub, nice atmosphere and vibe, love it .

Super relaxed space that's responding to its public. Veggie small plates were scrummy and with a glass of excellent white wine, a classy ànd affordable meal deal!

Nipped in after a quick walk, very nice pub and friendly staff..

Me and my wife had the best Sunday dinner here, and our dog was very welcome too. Friendly staff and a great selection of craft beers and decent well priced wine.

I would go back for the Carrot & whipped Feta.... delicious.

Nice pub, set up for good food and beer. Efficient table service. Just a little out of the way along the sea front.

Nice spot for a late afternoon natter, coffee, or and a nice choice of beer.

I actually really like this pub but I don't like pubs having private functions. With a sign up saying sorry closed today for wedding! Or private party Annoying as it's a public house ?

Great place nice food and drink great staff

Really nice pub with great beer. Well worth a visit when you're on holiday.

Great food but it’s small plates and expensive! The chicken wings are amazing

This friendly independent pub always delivers, great range of drinks, delicious food and welcoming, fun staff. Dogs also made welcome

The most amazing pub in Hastings & St Leonards, hands down! Not only is this our favourite local, Jess, Roo & Co hosted our wedding and it was the most incredible day. The food was spot on - seriously DELICIOUS, they help set up and basically just delivered above and beyond on all fronts. We love you guys and thank the lord the Marina Fountain is here. Best pub, best landlady, best chef, best team, best garden etc etc etc... 10 stars from us, if only we could give you more! xxxxxxx

Great food and atmosphere also can take your dog so win win

Good beers and lage.The Hells was lovely. Stayed in the garden as Covid is still rampant. The food was good if a tad pricey. Great staff, engaging and friendly.

Great place, lovely staff, menu a bit fancy

A truly excellent pub. Great vibe, excellent service and delicious food. Throw in some killer sets by world-renowed music acts and you've got yourself one of the best pubs around...and all with a sea view.

Amazing pub with lovely garden. Super food and smiley staff x

Brilliant vibe in this pub. Nice spacious garden.

Limited evening menu but tasty and friendly staff

Absolutely amazing every time I went it great people, great place and a fantastic atmosphere. Thank you!

Quirky, interesting and tasty menu where the pub food was delicious and the spicy chicken wings were truly scrumptious!!!

Surprisingly great pub. Nice beer garden, good beer and convivial atmosphere

A little bit out of the way, but well worth the effort, good food and beers and a lovely decor inside. Decent beer garden at the back with plenty of seating.

Perfectly nice pub, very friendly staff, great garden out the back which is perfect for those sunny days. Good selection of food although a little pricy for what it is.

Good quality food with interesting flavours, good quality beers and friendly, helpful staff

Been there twice great food and service will deffo go again and again and etc

Fantastic food, a trendy and quirky place. We enjoyed our lunch. Our waitress wasn't too chatty/forthcoming but definitely a welcoming atmosphere for children and dogs which is fab. The garden is a wonderful sun trap. Full of the local hipster crew, something to bear in mind and can feel a little off putting if you don't quite fit the mould. We'll definitely come back.

Great garden.. wine pricey but food very reasonable

Really rude staff. Do not go there.

One of the best pubs around. The food is great and a good selection of beer

Yummy food and very friendly staff

A Sunday stroll and a visit to this wonderful venue. To many items to comment on including the excellent wine list…….then a slower stroll back !!

A lovely place with lovely staff, a good diverse crowd too! Both child and dog friendly, so super chill. Plus they serve local gluten free lager. Yesssss!

Magnífico bar en St Leonards Los camareros muy majos La comida espectacular Y las cervezas increíbles Mi lugar de referencia para la zona

Excellent pub with friendly and polite staff. Our dog was very welcome too. Didn't book ahead but they were happy to accommodate us for food. Food was quick and delicious, would highly recommend if you are in the area!

Marina Fountain has great food specially Sunday Roasts. Great pub and the menu is varied with lots of choices for non meat eaters too. I visited for a Sunday roast and I would advise making a reservation as this location does get booked up. The roast beef was delicious and had lots of kale a great tasting Yorkshire pudding and a huge carrot. Plenty of gravy and the whole dish was fantastic. I also had broccoli with hazelnuts as a side and this was unbelievably good. I also tried the wild duck legs. After the mains I had rice pudding again superb. Great service, good wine menu and the location great.

Lovely little Gastro Pub in St Leonards! Friendly staff, excellent food and fantastic value for money. A massive portion of chicken wings and chips came to £11. Can't wait to come back here!

What a lovely pub and peeps running it. A real find. Great array of beers and wines. Food looked great too.

Fabulous place. Great food, beer and wine. Gorgeous interior and really nice outside cubby holes with heaters :)

Okay so I love this pub, great staff, great beer selection, etc... But I wasn't impressed when walking into a half empty pub to have a mini-panic, including discussing whether a customer was still there or not (turns out he was and probably overheard you). I know pubs need to adapt to meet the needs of their local community, but try to stay as a welcoming pub, rather than a restaurant where you have to pre-book first

Very nice warm and friendly pub

We went in as there was a craft fayre there. It looks a lovely pub (ashamed to say never been in before even tho very local).

Great garden and staff very helpful & friendly also very clean .....faultless really ..

Stumbled across a bit of a gem. Great atmosphere and service, nice selection of beers and crisps! The beer garden was a very pleasant surprise.

Great well done out pub, friendly staff, loved the tunes playing in background. Lots of seating, great events coming up. Garden has heated huts and large garden seated area too. Highly recommend, right opposite seafront.

Great food, good service, lovely atmosphere 👌

Lovely friendly local pub, great food and staff. Be back soon.

Fantastic roast, perfect bloody marys and really lovely staff and it's doggy friendly.

good pub, solid atmosphere and good drinks cheese was ravishing !!
