Oscar's on the Square in Hastings

Walk past oscar's most days ,went looking to eat sunday at other places No room at the inn ,came back got us in on a busy afternoon , the roast beef dinner me and partner had amazing welldone to the 3 young ladies working that day

Great pub located on the shore front with views of Hastings. Staff were pleasant and collected for local charities. Live music is also played here. Highly recommend.

Great place, definitely underrated. I would definitely choose going here over places nearby.

Had an amazing Sunday roast at Oscars, never disappoints! Roast beef with all the trimmings and loads of veg. Fantastic service from the lovely girls and if the sun is out you can eat your roast looking out to sea…perfect.

Called in for a roast dinner, one of the best I've had in a while, will have another sometime soon

Called in with a couple of friends after booking that morning and had quite possibly the best roast dinner Hastings or St. Leonard's has to offer. The meat was tender and succulent, The vegetables were done to perfection and my friend had specific dietary requirements that they were happy to meet. Great place, upbeat atmosphere and fantastic food. What more could you want?

Average bar average food... odd little place

Great food, lovely staff thank you

Always delicious food, served with a warm smile. We love it at Oscars! Sarah and team are simply brilliant. Highly recommend.

Phoned up on chance to have a Sunday dinner, although they were busy they were extremely accommodating and found more than enough food for myself and wife, so much so that we actually took home a full size dinner in a doggie bag. The quality is top notch and staff extremely friendly. Is our go to place in St Leonards, with free parking along the sea front on a Sunday.

Love the space and the service, but the Sunday roast had cold meat. Gravy was good so I should have poured it on top. I can cook a better roast. Well priced. I’ll go back to try brunch.

I had Sunday Lunch (Beef Pork or both) very nice well cooked food, lovely atmosphere, sit inside or outside (I think) we sat inside, large portion, plenty enough food, we had that and a 2 lagers and it was £23 I think which is fine

Food was cold we tried to tell the lady but she walked away was unfazed then a issue as all the men were urinating in a cubical in the ladies as the door had fallen off no one cared it was unpleasant and non of the men washed Their hands I genuinely felt disgusted by the lack of care when served and the lack of hygiene generally. I did alert the staff members to the men in the ladies pissing publicly but they just shrugged their shoulders they didn’t seem to care. Shame as I’ve always enjoyed the food in the past but returning I won’t risk as the hygiene is now a major issue plus cold food I would pass this as an option if you haven’t been. Not worth the potential gastroenteritis or suffer bad service would be my advice!!

Cracking Sunday lunch with consistently high quality in both food and service. Exceptional value and Sarah always provides a warm welcome.

Fantastic staff and great atmosphere!

Lovely place & wonderful staff, great roast dinner

Go check Casey and the gang on a Sunday for the roast.. nothing cures a hangover better than a roast dinner on the beach front on a Sunday afternoon 👻 1st time I've gone for lunch but be quick coz they get snapped up fast!

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch On the 15th October 2023 for my daughters birthday ,food was excellent , the portions very good ,great friendly service, highly recommend Oscar restaurant to every one Thank you Sarah and the team

Absolutely lovey place!! , lovey people and great atmosphere ❤️

Had a fantastic roast today, service impeccable by the two sisters ( sorry forgot the names, casey maybe Stacey) anyhow superb roast and lovely ladies...thank you so much, will definitely recommend you xxmartine

We went for a stroll & had thought about booking at Oscar's. When we got there, we decided to continue with our booking, & went inside, but it got a little confusing as we were stood on the steps, waiting. The girl that spoke to us was lovely, though, & set our minds at rest. We chose to sit outside, which was great, except that the area around Warrior Square is very 'Bohemian', especially in the lighter evenings, & our evening was a little tainted by smells we weren't wanting to smell. The burgers were great. One of us had meat, one had veggie, but they were both tasty. The chips were well cooked, & the mac & cheese was great too. We paid easily, & everyone was chatty & friendly. It's just a shame we aren't appreciative of extra curricular smoking.

Great location and friendly owners

Fantastic Roast dinner with all the trimmings.

Great little place, good atmosphere and good food definitely going back.

If I could give 6 stars I would. Best place in town. Friendly staff, the food is amazing, and not too expensive. I am never disappointed. Very cool, lovely and happy people, makes all the difference. BTW best roast by far

Great people beautiful venue so much going on and all with a smile

Lovely roast, good drinks, lovely outside a wee bit claustrophobic inside.

Wicked place, love the customer service, atmosphere and people

The food was awesome, limited to Sunday roast, but that's exactly what we wanted. Service was good, although a dessert was missed or perhaps misheard. We dined alfresco, so we didn't get the inside experience. We'll definitely go back

Best roast in Hastings by a country mile. ❤️😋

I never new this was here.. Lovely bar and restaurant.

We've been going down to Oscar's for a long time. In the summer its great! In the winter its great! You've got G and Casey on the food which is blinding by the way. You've got Roxy behind the bar and Sarah the owner doing her thing. Great atmosphere, we've had many a good time in Oscar's and last night was one of them 🤪. Thanks guys x

What a great place great atmosphere the food is out of this world and the staff are fantastic. If you have not been trust me get down there you will love it.

Friendly place, very quirky. Havnt eaten there for a while but Roast was good.

I visited with a friend from out of town. It was a beautiful sunny day so it was lovely to be able to sit on the sea front. I’m fussy about vegetables and the music was a bit loud. The staff cheerfully accommodating to me which I really appreciated. The food was nice and hot and delicious Will definitely be back

The hallumi burger omg!Great service & top notch food!

Great little find! Food was excellent, especially the beef brisket bun. Staff are really nice, very welcoming and served quickly. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent service, lovely owners

Beautiful Sunday lunch at Oscar's, 7 different vegetables, meat or nutroast, Yorkshire pud, stuffing and gravy. Right on the sea front, beautiful and great service.

Oscar's is our go to place to eat when we need a Sunday roast! Fantastic. Thank you. We'll be back 🥰

A great little place and the food was fantastic 👌 definitely coming back 👍👍👍

Service is always spot on. Food is well cooked. Games for the kids. You get your money's worth and the beach is right outside. Always pleased and been here about 5 times at least.

Great place for a drink outside by the sea or sheltered from inclement weather downstairs

It was dirty food uncooked would never recommend

Great food,great staff and fantastic location.

Great Sunday roast, lovely staff and a very pleasant Mother’s Day experience. Highly recommended if you love a great Sunday roast and by the beach

Went there for a roast. Staff we’re really nice, generous portions and lots of different bits and bobs on the plate which was pleasing. For the price though it would be good to have fresh vegetables. The veg was from frozen and it was watery and tasteless.

Someone held a Birthday Party , was a good venue

Excellent food and drink 🍜🍷 beautiful ambiance❤

Sarah is a wonderful host. Fab food great place

Best Sunday roast in St Leonards on a sunny day. Sit on the promenade and enjoy great food and friendly service.

After reading lots of reviews on the fab roasts here we decided to give it a go. So pleased we did. Wonderful food. Beef pink in middle as my hubby likes and my nut roast was the best I've ever tasted! We had more than we could eat with our big plates full of lots of different vegetables including gorgeous roasties and home made Yorkshire's. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes a good roast dinner. Also, there was a great atmosphere and the lovely ladies looking after us were so friendly and helpful. Thank you. We'll be back.

We have been to Oscars a few times both for just a coffee and also for food. We had our kids 18th birthday celebration here in the summer and today was our 5 year anniversary so what better way to spend it then at Oscars. I can honestly say we have never had a bad experience. The food is always amazing and the staff make you feel so welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. We would put some pics up but we ate it before we remembered!! If you don't visit Oscars at least once, you will have missed a treat ❤️❤️

Really love this little place hidden away under the promenade in St Leonards and It’s great for sitting outside in the summer as you’re directly on the beach here. The Sunday roasts are always seriously good and the rest of the menu also. Friendly staff, good music and vibes keep me coming back.

Great atmosphere, lovely food, friendly staff, right on the seafront what's not to like :-)

Superb Sunday roast with amazing sea view. I had Sunday roast here last weekend and it's was superb. The food was delicious the service was excellent with a good choice of food and drinks. The seaside location could not have been more beautiful with a view over the beach only steps away. Loads of vegetables with my roast beef think it was over 5 vegetables with a huge gravy boat. Highly recommended great value too

You could almost miss the place if you’re not careful! Tucked away neatly this was a little gem. Dog friendly and staff were very good with my toddler too. Food was good and priced correctly. Thank you!

Had Haloumi burgers with drinks. Substantial and very tasty. Friendly staff. Quick service. Will return. Sat outside overlooking the sea.

The food was tasty. Macaroni very cheesy and tasty chips were a little over cooked but still nice. Will definitely definitely be ordering again

Always fun getting food from Oscars - first time we have got takeway and we will defo be back. Yummy food and the children really loved the mac and cheese!

I visitted for the first time last week and was thoroughly impressed. The burgers are amazing with all the trimmings. Being a first time visitor I also tried a side of the pulled pork and brisket and both were also fantastic to the point it...

Popped to this cafe on the seafront this afternoon. The initial service by the waitress taking the orders wasn't great but the lady owner came over and rectified the problem. The food (chips) was lovely. The other staff members were very friendly. Great with the kids. Well done guys.

Delicious chicken burger with crispy french fries. The mayonnaise they use on the sandwich is a revelation, but you'd have to go and find out about it fir yourself. Equally the coleslaw is superb

Delicious food, big portions and reasonably priced. The staff were all very friendly and Oscar’s on the Square had a great atmosphere.

Oscars is such a hidden gem, we love taking people here when they visit Hastings. During both lockdowns we've used their take-away service, both for burgers and the fantastic Sunday Roast. Portions are huge which makes it good value. My husband is adamant that the...

First time actually eating in at this restaurant, had a takeaway roast a few months ago, has great ambience and the Sunday roast was faultless, will go again for sure.

A real hidden gem, brilliant food, fantastic atmosphere and the staffs so friendly. Will be back diffenite.

We got a fabulous takeaway once early in lockdown. But we have been back numerous times when it says it’s open and there are people drinking inside, even when they were not supposed to be during lockdown, yet they always say sorry we are closed....

Love this place, great owners , very friendly. Good food and one of the best Sunday lunches in town

The place to eat! Amazing grub. Staff are so friendly. Gluten free options and sat on the sea front. Couldn't ask for more!

Well first time that we have been here and it will not be our last! We were on our walk and saw that their door was open and they seemed to be cooking at the bottom off the stairs - no advertising at all so...

moved to this area a couple of weeks ago so still finding our feet, what a great find Oscars is, we moved from London (yes DFL’s) and can honestly say that this roast, even as a takeaway was excellent, great service,and location - we look...

Amazing Sunday roast. Succulent meats, perfectly cooked veg and roasties and efficient, friendly service. Who could ask for more? Thanks guys, we had a great time. X

Excellent Xmas lunch must try their roasts on a Sunday

Oh dear. We went to Oscars yesterday as part of a large party to celebrate three birthdays. We arrived at 12.30pm. There was a choice of three things on the menu ( pork, beef, nut roast). Simple. It was after 3pm when the last of...

The food here is very good and generous portions. All freshly cooked to order. Sunday roasts are particularly good and huge ! In good weather you can sit outside overlooking the sea and when it's chilly the inside is a deceptively large lovely space, with...

Have eaten here a few times. Right on the beach. Great vibe. Great food. Run by really friendly and nice people. In the summer you can sit by the beach enjoy some food or a drunk. And listen to some chilled music.

Excellent Sunday lunch great staff had a great time

Sarah (the owner) has created a food heaven and called it Oscars. I have eaten there on many occasions and have enjoyed the experience.

Lovely place the food was amazing, you get to watch them as well the food sizes were pretty big as well but absolutely lovely the staff are lovely and so friendly x

I’m told that I am a picky so and so, but I just like good, fresh food, cooked correctly in a friendly environment. Oscar’s is exactly all of these things. As per the title, this was our (me & my husband) second visit, the first time we were wowed by the Shrimp Po boy, Mac and cheese and halloumi sticks with herby dip. This time we went for the Oscar’s special, a platter with fries, pulled pork, brisket, a wicked coleslaw and a portion of the tastiest beans known to man. And a shrimp po boy as it’s too fresh and tasty to ignore. The place itself is right on the sea front, I think it was storage for boating equipment in a former life, it has a relaxed atmosphere and the staff are friendly, there are tables outside for when the summer decides to arrive where the view is of the beach & sea. What’s not to love? Hoping to go back very soon to introduce our visiting family to the food, beer and atmosphere.

Perfect location overlooking the sea. Really friendly staff. Ordered veggie breakfast huge and tasty. Washed down with a coffee and juice. Faultless. We will be back.

Yum. Thank you! You can sit staring st the sea and have a cracking full English. We ate there in the evening & the food was good then too.

Great food in a lovely location. Fantastic staff!

I love this place its the most family orientated restaurant in St Leonards, the food is amazing the staff are just so special, my we girl who has Cerebral Palsay took me out for fathers day, we went to another restaurant that turned out to be a massive mistake, when she spoke to the owner at Oscars, she pulled out all the stops to make my daughter feel special, I can't thank you enough Sarah GG and KC love you all from Kev the wee fat jock xxc

Amazing food, awesome staff and great place. Worth visiting!

Oscars are now offering breakfast at the weekends, I opted for the vegetarian and my other half had the meat option. Both breakfasts were hot, great portions and absolutely delicious, breakfast comes with either a tea or coffee. Highly recommend and cannot wait to go back.

Very good service and very friendly and helpful staff good food

What an amazing place! Located right on the promenade with great sea views, I chose this venue for a family get together and it didn't disappoint. We were all made to feel so welcome and the food was to die for! Everything freshly cooked and smoked on the premises. My dad who isn't into 'American food' (he's 78 and stuck in his ways) had the ribs and couldn't stop praising them enough afterwards and is now a convert! The staff couldn't do enough for us, and it really does have that personal and intimate feel to it. Highly recommended!

Magical food from Oscars every time without fail. Their pulled pork poor boy is phenomenal, I’ve lost count the amount I have eaten now! Not only does Oscars boast exceptional food, the staff are some of the warmest, friendliest and welcoming people I have ever met. Oscars really is a must. Thank you for coming to Hastings!

The food and service were cracking. Really cool location. I would definitely go back and try something else of the menu!

Beautiful place, friendly staff and mouth watering food!. I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal in this place and would recommend anyone to try it.

Oscar's encourages you to "Get your smoke on" with a range of meats that have been smoked in-house.Whilst the rack of ribs was passable and they do a good slaw the rest of our meal was a serious disappointment. Both the brisket and pork shoulder were served in a tasteless sludge of a sauce (see photo) and had no hint of the famous house smoke. The chips felt like they came from the bottom of the barrel - short and over fried. The burgers were dry balls of overcooked mince. The underground setting is bright and you are on the seafront but if it's high quality southern barbeque you are looking for I would give it miss.
