We sat at a table outside which is effectively take away. We had three fish and one large chips to share which was plenty. The cod was excellent quality and very large. Unfortunately the haddock was of lesser quality, quite thin and brown in places. The chips were very nice. Prices are reasonable.

Popped in around midday and we both had cod and chips, one with mushy peas one with garden peas. All cooked fresh with a nice piece of cod in light crispy batter and a generous portion of chips. Decent cup.pf tea as well. Great service and thoroughly recommended.

Great chips & the fish was perfect. The staff were very attentive, I dropped my knife and before I could even look for it they had brought me a fresh one. Location is just before the old town & the prices were reasonable.

Excellent Service, Excellent Fish & Chips, all cooked fresh, well presented , staff are always friendly, well turned out, & happy to help. I'm there usually twice a month, been going for about two years now, never had a bad meal. One of the best in Hastings 👍

A lovely Sunday at the beach with the family. Decided to search for the best fish and chips around and after some research, I came across this establishment. Instantaneously, I was disappointed by the service. The woman at the takeaway till with black hair and tattoos, was extremely RACIST and down right RUDE. The food was as disappointing as the service. Saw the chef wipe his face and pick up the batter in the same hand. The service and food were both absolutely disgusting. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE.

My family and I visited Aug 24. Lady with the eyebrows at the takeaway point customer service is appalling. I simply asked for one of our meals to have no salt on the chips and she huffed and puffed like I was asking for the world. Food was amazing however she did leave out certain parts of the order.

Woman at the takeaway ordering point had a real attitude! Check your order before you leave, we ordered curry sauce and gherkins with our meal, none of which were in the bag. The rubbish customer service let this place down. The food was very good.

This is hands down the best fish and chips I've ever had. The chips are just the right balance of crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy inside, the cod is soft and delicious with a crunchy shell. Even the curry sauce is the best I've ever had. Staff are friendly and welcoming, they are dog friendly, reasonably priced. Get to Hastings seafront now!

We always go here when in Hastings as normally excellent. Fish today was great and well cooked and very tasty, but the chips tasted a little old and not fresh. Like they were reheated. Hopefully just a one off.

Drove from Maidstone just to have the Codfather’s fish and chips. Never disappoints. Welcome smile and chat from all the staff. Ordered the haddock and cod, both with chips. Absolutely outstanding. The fish just flaked beautifully and the chips were proper chips not those milky white offerings you get elsewhere. Fantastic food, great staff. What more do you want.

Starsky & Hatch is the best little hatch in town. Their oat milk lattes are delicious. Their vegan & veggie options are plentiful. The fish is fresh, & all the meals are so tasty, from their simple granola through to their delicious poké bowls. The smiles inside the hatch rival the smiles outside. Their positioning is picture perfect, with the most scenic view of St Leonards sea & beach, with Hastings to one side, St Leonards to the other, & the pier in sight; nay, reaching distance. The food is made to order, so isn't fast food, or greasy. It's good food, healthy, cooked well, & cooked quickly. The ambiance is chilled, relaxed, & full of fun. Customers range from dog walkers to swimmers, runners to box freestylers, Daytrippers to locals who keep coming back because Starsky & Hatch are so welcoming. And we will keep going back 😀
