St. Mary's Restaurant in Hastings

Closed. Permanently.Government grant withdrawn end October 2022.

Super chill experience. Nice views of the sea front if you choose to sit outside.

Nice coffee, could do with some better seating.

Gorgeous place to sit surrounded by life and lovely plants :) spacious and great drinks on offer, will be returning to try some food as soon as I can 🌟✨☀️

Nice to sit outside with a nice cup of tea

Great for the vegans! Lovely friendly and accommodating staff too. Dog and kid friendly!

Great vegan food options in a great location. Staff are super friendly :)

Friendly staff, lovely beer and great vegan food - we had scrambled tofu and it was delicious 👌🏼reasonably priced and clean and good atmosphere with great plants

Great venue and very friendly staff

Great Cafe/bar and friendly staff

St Mary's Cafe and Bar is a friendly beachside spot in the heart of Hastings where you can enjoy a local coffee, a fresh bite to eat or a drink at the bar. A lovely environment with some nice plants to set a relaxing atmosphere. The tables were not cleaned after the previous customer, and it seems to be very busy at times. Still had a great time.

Una cafeteria normal, pero sirven un buen café

Really lovely atmosphere and they happily refilled my out of tea. Lovely fairy lights

Be sure to go up the ramp on the left side of the coffee shop (inside) to see the vaults!

Came for Dirty Vegan night (Fri @ Sat 5-9pm) and WOW! Can’t recommend highly enough, sensational food, really friendly staff and excellent vibe. Would love to come again!!

Lovely laid back place with excellent food, service and staff

Had a great lunch at a super friendly cafe. It is just our sort of place. Staff lovely, food really nice. And they served biro moretti.And fast service

Pleasant, cheap and cheerful staff, nice place.

Such a lovely ambiance here. Staff are lovely polite friendly & hardworking, our waitress was all alone taking orders, doing drinks & serving food but not once got flustered & it was busy she still was attentive to every table nothing was too much trouble. Food was amazing as well as the coffee. Best coffee on the seafront. I have now found my regular stop off point.

Dog-friendly cafe, I'm saying this first as it's so important. We've been to to this cafe a couple of times since we got our dog a couple of years ago go and the dog gets as big a welcome as we do if not more! The cafe is light, bright and with Well spaced tables. There are also other tables outside Looking towards the sea but well separated from the main hustle of people passing by on the prom. Food is fresh and tasty and the coffee is very good. Asked for some water and we were bought a big jug of iced water with fruit in it to flavour it. Our dog was given complimentary dog biscuits and a lot of fuss which he adored. The young staff there are unfailingly polite and pleasant. The place is a little quirky being part of the church crypt, and has a very nice ambience. And is as I said before very dog-friendly. Highly recommended.

Love this little place lovely staff

Really nice staff and decent breakfast.

Best coffee on the front. Friendly staff and well stocked bar. Very chilled.

Great coffee! Great presentation and you get a biscuit and not one of those wrapped in plastic! Plus they have oat milk. Beautiful room and pleasant staff.

Lovely iced coffee, made to order.

Nice place for tea coffee, and lunch, indoor or outdoor seating If you can try and visit the theatre at the back, set in an old church There is a crypt there as well ,not certain whether it is open to the public

Lovely little cafe with freshly prepared meals

Friendly staff and a great atmosphere!

Great food and very friendly staff. I ordered the Cheeseburger and loaded Chipotle fries. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff and lovely coffee 😁

Great place for a coffee and some nice treats and food available too. The space is also great for artists and musicians always worth seeing what's going on

Lovely bright cafe, with really delicious fluffy Scrambled eggs on toast. Such a lovely place and the service is very friendly.

Waited an over hour for our food then eventually had to leave as had other commitments away from the centre to get to. The reason for the delay was a big table before us when it was a only table of 6, no one else at the restaurant, just didn’t expect to wait so long for brunch when most of us have ordered scrambled egg.

You want an amazing place with amazing grub and the best, friendliest staff then this is the place for you! So accommodating despite our somewhat inebriated state. If you get a chance to have one of the peanut brownies then do!!! They're bangin.

Great staff and awesome filling food, dirty vegan doesn't do it justice

Great vegan food , friendly staff

Good food and great selection of Vegan choices too!

Wonderful intimate venue for concerts.excellent food and drinks downstairs.

Best bar and cafe with a lot of vegan options. We had dinner and breakfast the day after. Long life to the scramble tofu. Best service and the place is really cuuute. Lots of plants. I'll be back there again

Always a wonderful meal. Super friendly staff. What more could you ask for.

Great building. It is work in progress and the seats can be hard but the building and events more than make up for it.

Super venue, with a lovely coffee bar selling great food! Toilets are badly maintained though....

Beautiful building, great show!

Brillant music hall lovely inside music echos around

Never been before, great venue - saw Judy Collins - loved the place!

A wonderful and beautiful place

Great acoustics and fascinating history to this lovely building!

Amazing venue for the wonderful Hastings Philharmonic Orchestra and choir.

Fantastic building - everyone should go on the FREE guided tour. 200 year old building with excellent roof/cupola.

Lovely building, both inside and out. Has a good sized auditorium for shows etc.

Lovely little stop off. Good coffee and friendly staff, great customer service. Area to sit outside too.

Beautiful unusual venue and the cafe is lovely. Friendly service and great vegan choices.

Beautiful theatre, lots of history. Lovely staff, great for functional use/party's/event's.

Really good food. Plenty of vegan and veggie dishes. Friendly staff.

Possibly the nicest venue I've been to in many years.

What a lovely building full of history.

Friendly staff and good Real Ale

A total hidden gem! Love this venue ❤

Local Townswomen enjoyed a charity concert with members singing with Vocal Tones.

Beautiful Georgian multi use venue with varied entertainment

Very friendly kind staff, great building amazing for private hire would highly recommend to anybody wanting to hold any type of function in Hastings, well worth the money happy friendly experience, great food and drink and the live band was a great touch, also if you like art St Mary has its own Gallery held in a well preserved crypt. A must see if your in Hastings.

Sean so helpful and really took care of us after our coach to London failed to show up. He went above and beyond. Lovely venue and friendly atmosphere, would return.

Fantastic venue built into the cliff. Amazing sound. Would definitely go again.

Good selection of vegetarian food but it's the bacon bap that attracts me. All set in historic building. Licensed, so another reason to visit.

Very slow service although food was decent once it arrived!

Great place for music venues great atmosphere

Good sounds. Good live music venue. If you don't leave here with your ears bleeding, you haven't enjoyed yourself

Top place. Great style and acoustics.

Been there for a beer. Inspiring decor and ambience, food looked awesome as well. Had fun playing with their board games! :)

First time there, we went to a burlesque show. Fantastic amphitheatre, vaults and architecture, there was a rowdy group, who were annoying, but that's not the fault of the venue, so it still gets 5 stars from me.

A great cafe/bar by the sea, dog friendly and pleasant staff ,offeres a great selection of vegan food

Lovely venue, excellent address (view of the sea!), cafe staff very friendly, coffee and food tasty! Recommended.

Sweet place. Good chili cheese fries

Amazing Piano Concerto Tchaikovsky

Really lovely food, very tasty. Nice venue too, staff friendly and polite

Went to bar for Fat Tuesday quiz - which was good fun. But given all the fab pubs in Hasting the drinks could be a bit more innovative - locally brewed beer (even in bottles would be a start). Please sort out kitchen though - really strong smell of old dirty chip fat - even our clothes absorbed it! There is no excuse!

Amazing events venue plus a small bar/cafe any time

The cafe downstairs serves fantastic vegan food, and they have regular gigs and political events which are all of a very high standard. Also the owner is lovely.

Great venue for music & dancing

Saw rubbed panto great venue drinks very over priced cheap coke and vodka sadly not good value

Soooo beautiful. The bar is pleasant, very nicely decorated. The hall is great. Went there for kundalini yoga full moon ceremony. Absolutely amazing experience.

Good place for a wedding nice surroundings

Brilliant venue with superb acoustics and an atmosphere to resonate long after the event ends.

Tai Chi Tuesday's 11.30- 12.30 with Katherine.

Lovely venue for live music.a unique building.well worth a look.

Brilliant venue set in the old caves in Hastings. Definalty recommend Octoberfest here!

Nice and big. Got confused on how to get upstairs

Interesting space with good acoustic.

Great spacious cafe with good vegan and vegetarian options. The staff were very friendly and happy to give us recommendations for the area. A must visit if you are in the area. The atmosphere was a perfect way to finish the day on the coast. The tofu scramble was delicious and the cauliflower bites were perfect.

Beautiful inside and out. I would have given 5 stars but it was badly sign posted outside and inside,and we had trouble finding our way.

An unusual venue for all sorts of performances. Very historic and atmospheric. Wheelchair friendly. Cafe at street level although the tables are rather cramped.

Friendly, tofu scramble for breakfast was v yum and they were happy to switch out items I didn't like/want for those I did. Good WiFi, great views and good coffee

Great venue - run as a charity relying on volunteers to help.

Great place to eat especially vegan food!

Lovely place. Great little bar and cafe. You can sit inside or out to watch the world go by. They have a variety of performances inside the auditorium. Good value for money. Keep an eye on their website to see what’s coming up. Alternatively, just hand out in the cafe and bar.

Best venue I have ever watched a game of football amazing screen and a very under rated venue 10 stars if I could

Very friendly staff. Only had coffee but was hot. Dog friendly with fresh water available

Just worth a visit thay do tours on wenesday I think . BUT MUSIC HERE IS WORTH LOOKING FOR

As a building 5 stars+, as a venue, sound is terrible mostly due to the cliff. Needs sound absorbent treatment of the back walls when the balcony isn't full.

A fantastic venue. The outside doesn't do this place any justice. Suprising large with great sound.
