The Hoxley in Hastings

There was a fly stuck on my slice of lime, which as you can imagine put me off slightly but then I remembered my time in Thailand and this made it feel more authentic! If you know, you know. Excellent flavours, will order again

Absolutely perfect! Delivery or dine in, it's always spot on! Flavours, freshness, quantity, presentation, just great! My favourite is a ka prao 😋 but you can order anything on the menu it will be amazing 😍 My favourite Thai in the area, tried different one but it's definitely the best. Thank you hoxley for the great food, always ❤️

I have eaten here a number of times. The food was always good and the atmosphere was lovely.

So fresh and so full of flavour. absolutely top notch Thai.

Never leave reviews but had to with this take away, the food was delicious, fresh, hot and beautiful attention to detail with presentation. Highly recommend, don’t bother with anywhere else!

I love the Hoxley and have eaten there several times. They do incredible authentic Thai food that is unbeaten anywhere else! However when we went there was an very loud karaoke party going on in the upstairs function room that was so loud that we couldn't hear each other talk across the table. We were unaware upon booking that this would be happening which would have been good to know.

New to Thai cuisine but food was good quality and suitably priced with generous portions certainly order again

Sauce could have been a little thicker, and more interesting range of vegetables (I think it was mostly red pepper) but it was tasty and generous portions.

Great food, perfectly chilled wine and great atmosphere but what really made our evening was the brilliant service from the staff.

Only had Pad Thai and prawn crackers but both were delicious. Large portions, good value for money.

I am sure that this is the best restaurant I have ever visited in the UK with a reasonable price, an awesome manner of the owner, and a server. Highly recommend you to visit. The original taste of Thailand. It's a perfect restaurant that doesn't miss anything. The food is delicious, the owner is very friendly, and the atmosphere is nice. Although there were no tom yum goong noodles, the soup was enough to warm my body and mind from the cold. The other food was also very good.

LOVELY. First delivery in St.Leonards since moving and quite possibly the best Thai I have ever had. Nothing to do with Just Eat, obs.

After a couple of delicious take aways from here I booked a table for 6 for my daughter’s birthday. I miss counted when I booked but they fitted our 7th member in with no problems at all. The service was brilliant and on point, selection of wines great, the boys enjoyed the Hoxley lager. Perfectly small menu to choose from, still made it difficult to decide! All sounded delicious. Ordered 3 starter platers (you choose three things from the starter menu) it was all very delicious. They can tweek the spicy ness to suite. So glad we all ordered different things for main as we all had a taste of each others. Had a great time so excited already to go again soon!

Only a bit later than I expected but the food was delicious. Made it last for two meals on consecutive days. Definitely recommend 👍🏻

Walked up as local and dined in. Early dinner at 6 so first in. Drinks wise went for a Brewing Brothers for me and a crisp white wine for her, both excellent. Sole staff friendly and welcoming. Seated near entrance with good views to the steady bustle of pedestrians and cars at this characterful junction with a nice smattering of independant shops, cafes and businesses. For starters we went with the couple deal of 3 for £17 which didn't dissapoint. The Thai dim sum and salt and pepper squid particular favourites. For mains I had the cod green curry which was superb and with perfect rice, she had the tofy soup which nit for me but well receieved. Tables filled as we ate and seems a well-liked local. A good find with resonable prices.. We'll be back.

Two parts of the order were missing. The rest of the food was truly horrible and inedible. The chicken was rubbery and the thick curry sauce was just water. Never ordering from The Hoxley again!

Just ordered a takeaway. 2 starters were missing and the rest of the food was genuinely inedible. The chicken was rubbery and the thick sauce was literally water. Absolutely disgusting and a complete waste of money. It all went in the bin. Never ordering from The Hoxley again.

Our first visit - Pretty restaurant, very delicious food, friendly staff, and we loved the playlist ! Thank you for a great evening.

Food was ok, nothing spectacular. Better Thai food available elsewhere in town.

Absolutely outstanding! Packs a punch and delicious! You’ve made this single girl for one night only VERY happy thanks Hoxley!

Lovely meal at the Hoxley. We were very well looked after by Lauren and Bethany. Water for the table was offered and we gave our drinks order. The Hoxley Lager was great. We had the Hoxley Mixed Platter to start. I also had the Chicken Tom Yum soup. Super hot so more lager required! My Chicken Penang curry was exquisite as was my mates Tiger Cry Steak. Had a couple of bottles of Rose and a very nice red. Laura, Aye and Frank did a great job in the kitchen with the food, all absolutely delicious. Well done to Adam, who I think owns the place. Lovely ambience. Well worth a visit. PS the toilets upstairs were very clean.

Booking was easy, called and spoke with a friendly voice. The meal too was lovely, they were happy to be flexible with seating as it was possible at the time. The taste was superb, service great too, and with a smile ! Definitely worth a return visit, and highly recommended…

Fantastic place!!! Gorgeous food. Fabulous service. Great place and a must visit. 2nd time here and definitely coming again and again.

Very delicious, highly recommend! Good portions too, one happy customer right here!

Beautiful food, fresh and tasty and delivered on time.

Visited tonight for the first time, very nice meal great service and lovely atmosphere! Will definitely be back , thank you

Me and my wife visited the Hoxley last Saturday night for a quick bite eat to eat and a drink whilst walking past. The service was great, a young waiter served us almost immediately and was very polite and chatty. The sharing platter we ordered came within 15 minutes and was better than expected! Our mains followed, being a pad thai and a green curry. Both dishes were full of flavour and served swiftly. Only thing I would critique is the location as a few cars went flying by, but nothing to ruin the meal.

Waited 1.5 hours for main… I mean, really!!! Pint of Fosters sold as Hoxley lager (I’m no fool!). Food was nothing special (unless you have a typically English pallette in which case it is probably delicious). Prices not cheap!. Welcome to the new world! Gobsmacked that the reviews are so positive but I suppose gone are the days of expecting something a bit special for your well-earned. Hey-ho, you live and learn, one day I might too!!

A few weeks ago we had a takeaway from here, it was the best Thai I've ever had. Tonight we had another one, I'm a bit disappointed, the sauce is tasty but watery, and I'm sure I had 4 large corn fritas last time, this time 3 small ones. Maybe someone else is managing the place tonight, or perhaps we just got lucky last time. Shame it's not consistently good.

Very poor experience, 3 of us went early evening. Ordered 3 main courses and drinks, 1 meal turned up reasonably quickly, 15 minutes later the other 2 turned up just luke warm and tastlesss. When I complained was drinks taken off the bill and was told the food could be recooked (microwaved) ? The waitress kept on apologising saying what do you want me to do we had a lot of online orders, It would seem that large Deliveroo orders take precident over customers inside. Poor show

Went for dinner, the food is really good and portions are a suitable size to have a starter and main without wasting anything. Friendly and attentive staff The on tap beer is worth a try… good selection of wines. Would recommend.

Food was super, if you can take your spice, would highly recommend the papaya salad! Service was also fast and efficient :)

Lovely food and the staff were amazing. Will definitely come back. Thank you for a great meal

Very disappointing- really bland watery massaman with tough dry beef, no spice at all. Similarly bland pad thai- too sweet because of a lack of tamarind. Definitely not worth the price of £33 for two very mediocre dishes.

Absolutely amazing food! Really enjoyed

the curry sauces were very watery. spoilt the dinner. it was very disappointing

Hockey always get it right.. thanks 😊

Pad Thai was greasy, chicken satay had a strange taste and the squid was chewy, oh and the the prawn crackers tasted burnt. Bit of a disappointment all round I'm afraid.

friendly and polite service - excellent!

Delicious and authentic Thai food. Was a bit dubious as the last review left a couple of days before we went wasn't great, but luckily it didn't resonate with our experience at all, maybe they were having an off night and also food tastes are subjective. To add, we've tried four Thais in a 5 mile radius and this is joint top with our usual, and we've spent many months over the years in Thailand, so have a good idea of what the food should be. We're som tum (papaya salad) fiends and won't go for a Thai if it's not on the menu, so as our usual Thai restaurant wasn't offering it that night, we thought we'd give this place a try and we're really glad we did. Everything was cooked and prepared perfectly with good quality ingredients. Bit of a mix up with the change so we tipped accordingly (as we always will with good food and service) no complaints at all and we'll definitely be back, highly recommend you give it a try.

First time trying this Thai place and was excited due to very good reviews. Ordered online and had it delivered - no issues and didn’t wait long. Unfortunately, the food was quite lacking. The pad Thai was pretty nice, but the chicken satay skewers were very dry, with a tiny pot of peanut sauce. Similarly, the chicken stir fry I had was bland and the chicken was dry. Possibly their chicken needs to be brined or marinaded for longer I’m not sure. I’ve made better rice at home. Lovely prawn crackers but could’ve done with about 5 times the amount of sweet chilli sauce! It’s the only Thai place in the area that I’ve tried so far, so it could very well be the best option hence the good reviews. I sadly wouldn’t order from here again though, sorry.

What a place so glad they changed to Thai food with some western meat choices. Proper amazing must have!

Best Thai ever! Absolutely delicious, hot and fresh! Thank you!

Visited based on a recommendation and wow what else can I say. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was so lovely, front of house staff polite and attentive. Couldn't recommend this restaurant more, all around 10/10

Really enjoyed our evening. Food is very tasty. Only one thing though, they should do a desert menu.

Very nice restaurant where we had a lovely thai meal with excellent table service. I can totally recommend

Waited for longer than 2 hours with no explanation

Lovely food, was delivered on time.

Amazing & delicious as always thank you

Spot on! On time, food absolutely delicious (ka prawo), and a proper amount of Thai prawn crackers, everything was just perfect. Delivered by a nice smiling person. Will order again for sure the food was excellent 10/10! Thank you 🙏

Where to start? My friend and I arrived on time for our table, but were ignored for some time. Eventually the front of house guy showed us to our table. He seemed very nervous and unsure of what he was doing. He stood beside us waiting for us to order and we said we'd like a few minutes. He stayed put; I had to say 'please leave us alone to decide, thanks'. We ordered food, but the guy couldn't tell us what was in most of the dishes and just pointed to the menu. It's a weird menu - dishes described as 'it's my friend's favourite dish' like anyone cares, and wines described not by the makers but by the owner, which again, is really unprofessional. We ordered a bottle of wine, which was promptly left in its bucket on the table, unopened. We opened it and poured it ourselves. Nice. The food arrived and was pretty good, but things went downhill even more. Other diners left around 8.30pm and we were the only ones in there. The girl behind the bar had an absolute face on her and was sighing and kept looking at us as if she wanted us to leave. At 9pm (an hour before closing time) they started clearing tables, putting the dishwasher on, moving chairs and tables, setting up for the next day and then took bags of rubbish past us while we ate! My friend politely suggested he leave that for closing time and he didn't know what to say, so the girl behind the bar interjected with 'What do you expect him to do, wait until you've finished before he starts clearing up? He's on a shift, he wants to go home.' Cue a double 'wow, really?' from us. She continued: 'If you two want to sit for hours talking, then it's not our fault. He wants to clear up so when you've gone we can go.' Honestly, we were open-mouthed. She kept on, saying 'D'ya understand?' while we both said, 'Er, no, we're your customers, you couldn't be more wrong!' The two of them then stood behind the bar laughing about it, and the girl kept giving us dirty looks. Nothing was taken off the bill which we then had to ask for, despite them being in such a hurry for us to go, but at least the rubbish went out early and the restaurant was ready for the next day, never mind their customers, right? Seriously, it was unbelievable! Might be good for a takeaway but I'd rather go hungry than put any more of my money their way. I asked to see the owner but he wasn't there; leaving your business in the hands of these two idiots means you've lost not only two new customers, but I've told everyone I know about it as it was such an insane evening!

This is a little hidden gem of a restaurant which just happened to be the nearest to our AirBnB. Definitely the most memorable food experience I've ever had in St. Leonards / Hastings. The food was the best authentic Thai kitchen I've ever tasted. Lovingly exquisit. And the service and atmosphere were lovely. The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars for the food, is for the lack of an appealing (Thai) desert menu, but they were very sweet to improvise an ice-cream caramel desert for my wife's sweet tooth.

The driver came right to my door and was very polite. The food was delicious! I'll order it again.

30 minutes late due to address not being on Google maps. Disappointing reason as my friend is over from Belgium and he found it okay. Food quality was good.

Absolutely delicious. Freshly cooked, amazing veggie options. So glad to have this on our doorstep

We asked for delivery but the time doubled when the order went through… we ended up collecting and then got home to discover prawns when we had ordered chicken and tofu - thankfully nobody was vegetarian… The food itself was actually very good but just a frustrating experience…A pity as this restaurant usually excellent.

Very enjoyable meal . It was lovely to taste all the different flavours in the dishes. The menu is limited which again is a welcome change. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the service is excellent.

I dont usually leave reviews, but this evenings food was Fantastic and delicious, delivered within time, between us we had the chicken green curry, beef massamam and tofu pad Thai. Would highly recommend.

1st time I've been there after hearing great things. Wasn't disappointed food was delicious and service was great. They didn't rush us and were really friendly. Also a bit of confusion on the bill where we over paid and they realised this and came over to explain we had paid too much. Definitely be back lovely place with a lovely vibe.

Fantastic meal and the service was excellent really good quality and would definitely recommend this place 👌

Never fails to disappoint- great service and atmosphere- lovely wine menu. The thai is beautifully cooked and presented- reasonably priced with good portions. Tried the cod for the first time and it was a delicious take on a green curry

Great service and excellent food. Would recommend if your in town

Must have a new chef because wasn’t great. Beef was chewy and for £15 for a curry you would expect something special. Noodles lacked flavour and just tasted of oil.

First time and was not disappointed, the team where very friendly and attentive, Laura, front of house did an excellent job helping us out together a few dishes. Food of very good quality, good wine very reasonably priced, and an ambient atmosphere. Shout out to chef for Tatar and presentation. What a little gem They just got 2 new regulars!

Tasty Thai, now becoming a regular go to quality takeaway.

Lovely fresh food, beautifully cooked.

The food is banging, really tasty and great portions. The pad Thai... amazing. We will order again.

Delicious green Thai curry, generous amount of prawns and fresh vegetables. Hot on arrival and courteous delivery chap. Excellent

Amazing, 100% ordering again. Best Thai in town

Amazing food, will be 100% ordering again. Thank you for being the best Thai in town.

Absolutely delicious and arrived much quicker than expected! We will definitely order from here again.

Gorgeous quality Thai menu. Had the panang curry with steak. Lychee vodkas martinis delicious!

Excellent restaurant, food is amazing, very authentic. Staff are friendly, welcoming and very attentive.

A hidden gem , great service, ambience and menu, food was served in reasonable time by really pleasant staff.

Amazing food and amazing service. We visited for my daughters birthday. The staff went out of their way to decorate the table for her and made us feel so welcome. The food is incredible, and reasonably priced too. We can’t wait to book again to try some more of their dishes…. 5 star all the way.

A little gem. finding The Hoxley Great service, such a warm welcome,delicious food and cocktails and there brand beer. We throughly enjoyed our wedding anniversary dinner. Definitely on our go to again list next time we are in Hastings or St Leonards.

Outstanding! You know that feeling when you have a first bite of food and you know it's all going to be amazing - well that's my experience with The Hoxley. Absolutely delicious and worth every penny.

Lovely meal and great service. If you are ever around Hastings definitley reccomend. Very welcoming.

Adam and his chefs have always provided an amazing level of Thai food in this restaurant. The food was fresh, well seasoned and beautifully cooked, the best Thai food in East Sussex. We love it.

Outstanding quality! If you close the eyes it looks you are in Thailand.

Best Thai food ever, the taste is amazingly fused and with love, my taste buds are happy. Thank you for Proper authentic food with love and it shows. Thank you again. 🤗👌

Food was hot and delicious! I was missing one of meals but mistakes happen and they were quick to bring it to me. Definitely order again :)

Food is wonderful, friendly and quick service, love the relaxed atmosphere.

The Hoxley is an amazing Thai restaurant that I highly recommend. Their food is gorgeous and beautifully presented. As a vegan, they are amazing at changing and editing dishes for me. They even make special dishes just for me like Tofu Satay and Thai Salad Classic. Last night I did my usual order of Tofu Pad Thai, Tom Yum Tofu Soup, Tofu Satay, and Corn Cakes and a loaf of sauces and I had a delightful surprise when it arrived at my door, a papaya salad, made specifically for me as a surprise and is not a item on the menu. Me and the owner have been talking about papaya salads joining the menu for months and I was very very happy that I got to try the first dish of it and can’t wait for it to come to the new menu soon! The best papaya salad I have ever had, and I have had a lot of Thai food (especially papaya salads). The front of house staff at the restaurant are very welcoming. I have been eating at The Hoxley every week for a long time now and I can never say no and they never have disappointed me with any dish. Every dish I have tried has been exquisite, and my family (who are not vegan) have tried all the other dishes on the menu and have described them as delicious. The flavor of the Hoxley Thai is perfect Thai flavors. I highly recommend the Tofu Pad Thai, Tom Yum Tofu Soup, Tofu Satay, and Corn Cakes. They have amazing sauces for your starters and sides at The Hoxley including an amazing peanut satay sauce, a vegan vegetable fish cake sauce, and classic sweet chili. Many thanks to the team at the Hoxley, and thank you to the owner, Adam.

Such good quality Thai food - excellent to have this option and every bit as good as in the restaurant. Took a little while to come, but worth waiting for.

Never ever write reviews but this deserves one! Delicious! Tasty, authentic and good portion sizes - 10/10 ☆

Myself and my partner always drive past The Hoxley and always say how we’ll go but never quite make it. Anyway it was my birthday this week and we decided to go (we didn’t book we just turned up and hoped for the best) well thank god we did. THE. BEST. THAI. FOOD. We actually went to the Ivy Asia last weekend and both said hands down the food here was a million times better, tastier and the service was top notch, at 1/3 of the price. There was a guy looking after us and he couldn’t have been more hospitable, giving recommendations on the menu and just generally being really attentive and friendly. Our food was amazing and we will be back again and again. So pleased we found this little gem!

When I read the reviews from past guests of The Hoxley, I was a bit apprehensive. One of the best Thai outside of Thailand? Coming from Southeast Asia, my family and I were curious. How authentic could this be? We were pleasantly surprised with their authentic Thai flavours. The fried Cod in green curry was perfectly balanced. Not too spicy, nor too heavy with the coconut milk. The Tom Kha Gai was just as flavourful and you must drench your rice with the sweet/sour coconut broth. They took our request to make their Pad Khra Pao not spicy for my 9 year old daughter. Thank you! Lovely find out in St Leonard's of all places. kop khun krap!

Best takeaway by far. Went for the Tiger Cry this time - absolutely delicious.

Not the best, incredibly sugary.

Best food outside of Thailand. Super friendly service. Keep up the good work. 👍

Great food at a very reasonable price, staff very friendly and service was great,will come back again

I have now had a Hoxley Thai every week (sometimes twice a week) for a long time, most of which were takeaways after a long shift at work. It is a true delight to know that after a very busy stressful day at work I have such outstanding food waiting for me. The Hoxley is a truly exceptional Thai restaurant in St Leonard's. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with warm and welcoming welcome that sets the tone for the entire dining experience whether you are dining in or taking away the food at The Hoxley is once again, simply outstanding with a exceptional care to look after customers. The menu features an array of mouthwatering dishes that are expertly crafted freshly by the chefs in the kitchen using the freshest ingredients and traditional Thai cooking techniques. Each dish is bursting with pure Thai flavour. From classic Thai curries to stir-fries, every dish at the Hoxley is a testament to the artistry and skill of the talented chefs in the kitchen. I am vegan so some the dishes I have have to have a few additions, for example pad Thai, what is traditional made with fish sauce, this is switched out for a vegan fish sauce that the Hoxley have. Sometimes as a vegan it can be hard to enjoy most of the menu at any restaurants, especially from a Asian cuisine, but the staff at the Hoxley will always try their best to accommodate any dietary requirements, with over 60% of the menu able to be optimised for a vegan diet. But whether you're a seasoned Thai food lover or just discovering the cuisine for the first time, The Hoxley is sure to exceed your expectations. The combination of exceptional food, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service make this restaurant truly stand out. If you're in St Leonard's, you simply must pay The Hoxley a visit. It's an experience you won't soon forget and will be dying to come back!

Did not have food. Came for the First Sunday Social. Good music

We always love a good Thai meal here. Friendly staff and great food. 👍

Amazing dishes ,full of flavour

Absolutely lovely - Thai green curry spot on. Love this place when we go out to eat, but brilliant to at last get a take-away Thai of quality. Would highly recommend!

Very tasty food and arrived nice and hot.

Really delicious and huge portion. Friendly staff too :)

Great place to eat great choice of food 😋😋
