Whilst visiting Hastings, went in the Anchor Inn. I had a chicken burger, which had two chicken breast in it with cheese, bacon and onion rings. This was a lovely burger, my wife had dressed crab, which she said was very nice. Staff were friendly and atmosphere was good, also dog friendly. Would have food in here again.

First time In this pub went with my dad and his partner for sunday lunch. Have to say thought the roast dinner was quite tasteless.

Food was ok, service was good but the atmosphere let down by GBnews on the TV and all the British flags all over the walls and ceiling pints and far right politics not my favourite combination.

Food was dissapointing. Lamb shank was dry and cold. Staff a bit rude. Stood at bar and asked to pay the bill lady said sure then walked off to serve someone else.

We booked for Sunday lunch and although the staff were efficient and welcoming the food was poor. The vegetables were cheap and lacking in taste and the gravy was like coloured water, no flavour at all. This was a disappointing experience.

We called here at midday for food. We were a party of 4 adults and 2 children and we were seated on a big table by a friendly lady behind the bar who took our drinks order. The food was very nice. I ordered the smoked mackerel with new potatoes and salad and it was extremely good. The menu said it was local and it certainly tasted fresh. I would recommend it.

Happened upon The Anchor whilst on a day visit to Hastings. Lovely pub that we would visit again. Plenty of shady seating out front and a very reasonably priced menu. The food was fresh, generous and delicious ( we had the sea bream) and the beer was good. Friendly staff and good service. These days you can often feel underwhelmed by overpriced, mediocre food in pubs but this was just the opposite.

Called in for a lunchtime pint while on holiday . Pleasantly surprised. Friendly barman . Nice atmosphere Decided to try lunch after seeing food coming out for other customers. I had the steak and kidney pudding which came with mash spuds peas and carrots . And a lot of gravy in a gravy boat . Portions were plentiful and I can generally eat a lot . My wife had the Salmon and asparagus fish cake with salad and fries. Both were really tasty . Would certainly return or another visit if in town and recommend it .

I usually have a great time here as I am local and been many many times over the years. and food is also usually great. Food wise the lamb was over cooked and potatoes under cooked as well as the carrots. The nut roast and chicken was excellent - so we were not going to say anything about this. The staff were great. But the owner was very rude and argumentative when at the time I was speaking to a member of staff - I had not been advised when booking that if someone from our table does not arrive they will keep the deposit - so I was Questioning this and stating that I felt it was a little naughty that I was not told when booking. That was all my tone was calm I was not rude. And the staff member said it is the policy - I was about to say well ok then the owner from the pub who was behind the bar staring having a go about how I should know this and itâs the norm and everyone does this and I should of known this. and they donât need to tell anybody as itâs Normal everywhere you go, her tone was very aggressive and there was absolutely no need for such rudeness. It was also I felt undermining the lovley staff who was already explaining their policy. The rudeness and aggressive tone from the owner was totally not called for and everyone in the pub could hear this as it was shouted at me from behind the bar to where I was sitting at table at back of the bar. Due to this rudeness and the food being not as good as it has always been. I will not be coming back. That sort of experience is not what you want when having a family Easter dinner especially when loved ones who have passed could not be present. You should not be taking your stress out on your local customers. And itâs a shame as all the staff were absolutely lovely. The owner showed them up and let them down.

We went to this pub on Sunday 12th February 2023, one of our group is disabled and uses a wheelchair, we were stopped at the door when entering and told we couldn't come as her wheelchair would be in the way.

The Sunday Roast was absolutely delicious. Our server Ben was such a lovely fella, he was so friendly and courteous and a joy to chat with. The Pub has a nice cozy atmosphere, we found the Sunday Roast to be very well priced. And if we lived in Hastings, we would definitely make it a point to eat there often on a Sunday. If you are ever in Hastings, stop in and grab a bite or a drink and see Ben....his such a lovely young man.

Landlady is a battle axe. Needed the loo whilst walking down George street and I thought I will go in the anchor, my husband and I was in there a couple of hours previously and bought drinks and so I thought it would be okay but no, I was told that the loos were for customers only, I explained that I had been one and I was desperate. The battle axe just looked at me like I was rubbish and said I should have asked and just walked off. Very humiliating and a terrible experience. The anchor will never have mine or my acquaintances business again.

I visited the pub with my mother today and we asked to sit at one of the empty tables in the window. The waitress that was there told us itâs reserved for locals to which I replied we were locals. She then said I meant the regulars, I said as there is no one there and we wonât be long could we please just have a quick bite to eat. She was so rude to me and told me âdonât start crying about it and go somewhere elseâ She was so rude and her attitude was disgusting. I would never go in here again. She then proceeded to have an argument with me saying she doesnât give a toss if she loses business. Vile girl she was. Will never return and would recommend no one else goes there either. Worse service Iâve received. She said a lot more but I donât have time to go into it. Horrible girl.

Excellent few pints enjoyed with some lovely food from a sensible menu and prices, sitting outside in the shade, people watching, and for a Brucie bonus, reminiscing with the lovely warm landlady back to the 1960's. And in case you're wondering, the pub opposite, Ye Olde Pump House, in this narrow lane, ex road, although looking like it belongs in medieval times, was reconstructed from a dilapidated building and only opened to trade as a pub in 1956.

Lovely lager however the tourists pay ÂŁ5 a pint and the locals ÂŁ3.40. I took my business elsewhere and paid regular prices so ultimately they lost money from me. I must recommend their roast dinners as they were lovely but definitely go somewhere else if you donât want to be caught out in the tourist price trap.
