The Royal Standard in Hastings

After a disastrous experience yesterday with a local establishment; what a change. Full roast and a pint with change for a second pint. The plate overflowing. The gravy outstanding. So good I asked for a couple of slices of bread to mop it up. Family, parties or solo check this one out. I'm definitely returning next Sunday.

What a fantastic pub very friendly fantastic landlord would thoroughly recommend this pub good food good music very cosy

Great little pub, fine beers, lovely staff and the best pizzas in hastings in my opinion..

Efficient service, good atmosphere.

Woman of some description having a conversation with her partner on her mobile behind the bar, didn’t even put it down to pull a pint. Not even a hello, very unwelcoming Simply wouldn’t bother

Lovely traditional pub. Only one ale on when we visited - understandable as it was mid-January - but it was perfect. Barman friendly and welcoming. Pizzas from their pizza oven looked good. Will be back to try one.

So happy me and my partner stumbled across this place, staff were polite with speedy service. We sat by the fire enjoying a pint, great value for money. We will definitely be back

Nice traditional pub on the sea front in Hastings. Good selection of beers, with great pizzas cooked on a food fired oven in the beer garden. This is a great location to hang out when there is something going on in town. There is a cheese bingo, but I haven't had a chance to go yet.

Lovely Sunday lunch with plenty of private parking

Always welcomed and they do the greatest pizza. Lovely properly cooked bases no soggy bottoms.

Brilliant homely roast. Will be returning for a meal soon. Pity about the bar selection, could have been a lot better. The pub itself is like a tardis. Way bigger than you expect and room outside for alfresco dinning.

Nice atmosphere, good beer. Didn't try the food but looked good.

Great staff , fantastic music,worth a vist.

The BEST Sunday roast in Hastings, without a doubt. Beautiful pub garden for when it is fine. Everyone so friendly and food is incredible.

Nice courtyard on a warm day. We were on bikes so they could be seen. Water for dogs. Lovely light lunch. Old fashioned pub interior. Highly recommend.

Great mixture of people of all ages vocal singer and band x

Hastings best, a great genuine old time pub with great atmosphere and Cheese Bingo

We went on a Friday afternoon, after school, sat in the back garden, had a couple of beers, pizza and chips, my kids loves it and food was amazing.

Miserable man behind the bar which I beleive is the landlord,just get on with your job, no need for such a gusture

It's a Shepherd Neame pub. Enough said

This place is a gem. The staff are helpful and friendly, the real ale was kept very well and the Pizzas looked so good we had to return the following day and weren’t disappointed. The Chefs (I assume a couple) took pride in their food and were we here longer we’d have definitely had the Sunday roast too. I’m picky, fussy and don’t generally give reviews let alone rave reviews but this place despite appearance is well worth a visit on all fronts. Excellent!!!!!

Lovely pub with cute little beer garden, good music, friendly staff and the food was amazing. Definitely recommend 😊👍🏽

A super friendly and funny young bartender. 5 stars for the service. There is no service for drinks. :-) Get it yourself from the counter. Only the food is brought and that's great. The location is just a traditional pub. We really liked it. Music came from David Bowie records. We will be back.

Banging pizza 🍕😋 Absolutely divine. Also a great range of larger and ale.

Nice beer, good music on the system and great facilities

Whatever you do have a pizza, proper hand pulled wood fired job with loads of great toppings at a ridiculously reasonable price. The stuffed paratha (with Mediterranean fillings was also exceptional. Bar staff friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. This has got to be a definite visit!

friendly staff great relaxed atmosphere

We lived in Hastings a few years ago and this was our favourite pub. Visited again recently and it is still great. Lovely atmosphere the manager is welcoming and with a great sense of humour. A couple of record decks playing vinyl LPs plus live bands, wood fired pizza oven and a great garden. Heaven!

On another weekend break in Hastings we booked Sunday lunch as last time it was so good. Roast lamb and the nut roast served with generous vegetables, Yorkshire puds and separate gravy. All delicious. A lovely friendly vibe to this local pub and highly recommended.

Good pub, old style with a good choice of beers. Handy as it's a good location on the seafront, with car park opposite.

Great pub. Came here today for a mid-afternoon drink with my partner, our 4-year-old daughter and partner's mum. We have been here a number of times over the past few years. It has always been terrific (would get here more were it not for small daughter). Lovely staff, nice regulars and the pizzas look so good. We have made a pledge to come back more

Great pizzas, able to deal with our allergy’s and v. friendly staff! Thanks all.

Dirty. Staff not friendly. Made us feel as if we shouldn't be there.

Really fun place with great music, garden and pizzas. Cheese bingo!

Great pub, warm friendly and welcoming

Friendly. Funny cheese bingo @ 6 and live music @ 9

Went there to celebrate a birthday, pleasant and helpful staff. Unfortunately they had no 1698 in stock.

Nice place with live music and good ALEs

Great atmosphere and fabulous live music

I went here with my wife and son who's 10 and has autism the female member of staff was talking to my sun telling him she has a double Brazilian and would not leave him alone then a guy who knows her started to get abusive and butted into a conversation I told him it had nothing to do with him he then got aggressive I stood up to him and defended myself I then left round the back the landlord then told me to leave the pub when he let the other guy back in I tried to explain he started it with the female member if staff talking inappropriately to my son and he told me to go what king of pub is he running when he let's wierdos like that work there and allows thugs in he's so called family pub and throws out victims of there abuse do go there avoid

Wonderful afternoon with a delicious Sunday roast, roaring fire, friendly folk and the bonus of a live reggae music band. A proper local pub with great staff, reasonably priced drinks and clearly a favourite in Hastings.

Love this pub! Great pizzas, great music played on vinyl and cheese bingo!!!!!!

We love it here Benn coming for years, real log fire great home cooked pizzas

Brilliant Hastings pub. Love it dearly, awesome vinyl, great staff, warm and wonderful

A "proper" local English pub, inside it's a homely, old, well-worn and cosy place that looks like it hasn't been updated in a century (and that's probably what it actually is) the kind of place so many modern themed pubs try so hard to emulate. Staff are friendly and the customers cover the entire spectrum of humanity, it seems everyone is welcome here.

They had great music playing from vinyl, top atmosphere, oh and the beer slipped down well.

Lovely people, good alternative music

Always like the Royal standard, nice beers, friendly fun pub, especially when Cheese bingo is on!

Had a beautiful roast on Sunday, was really impressed. They were busy and they informed us there was an hour wait so we had a drink. Have to say it was really worth the wait and I'm definitely going back for another Sunday roast.

Really good fun, Cheese Bingo on Saturday afternoons, the very best pizza in England in my opinion 🤗

The Royal Standard consistently has the best vegan Sunday Lunch anywhere or equal to the best. The cook will come out and discuss you wish and do it just so.

One of my must visit pubs every time I visit Hastings. Great venue in great location to sit in the sun and watch the world go by

Incredibly good food, both the pizza and the fish were excellent. Highly recommended. Also very friendly staff.

Nice little pub, very friendly staff.

The best pub in existence we spent the majority of time on our short break in this fantastic vicinity. I've never loved a pub more. 100% perfect.

Nice little pub, recommend the pizza. Very popular we were lucky to grab a seat in the Garden.

lovely little pub with a lovely little back yard to have a nice drink with my lovely girl

We traveled to Hastings from London, for a quick get away. We stopped at the Royal Standard for lunch and ate in a beautiful outside garden. We had the sausage and red pepper pizza. It was amazing! We watched as they baked it in their outside pizza oven. Everyone who works there were so kind. We will definitely stop in again, then next time we’re in Hastings.

Since moving to Hastings in December this has become our favourite place for a drink. Friendly staff, clean, and lovely garden. Mojitos are lovely!

Amazing freshly made food. Great service. Intimate setting. Pleasure to have spotted The Royal Standard on our travels through Hastings.

We stopped here after walking around Hastings Old Town area and beach. We sat outside and had drinks in the sun which was relaxing. The service was very good and the samples of beer on offer a great idea as the first one I tried was not for me. The second was perfect. Would certainly call in again if we are in Hastings.

Beer is very tasty and pizzas are as good as monnelli in the old town..

A lovely pub with great friendly staff and good food.

Summer pub for the biker crowd...

Very laid back pub. Nice and busy with seating outside, inside and a beer garden out the back.

A lovely friendly pub with the most amazing music playing courtesy of the 'Balearic Assassins of Love' crew. What a tremendous finale to the Jack in the Green festivities. Bravo folks! XXX

Music from band or the stack of old vinyl in the corner. Nice shaded beer garden and pizza from a wood fired oven. You can't go wrong here.

Came here for a lazy afternoon drink and stayed for several. Really relaxed atmosphere, the lady on duty was really welcoming and conversational, and she was spinning some great vinyl!

Loved the band tonight " Snipit and the Hotrocks" the pub really rocked.

Good beer and music from vinyl .

Staff worked non stop 16.03.22.

We knocked on the door just before opening time on a Sunday morning and we're still warmly welcomed by the bubbly staff. The food choice was a bit restricted for a Sunday but the food we chose was absolutely delicious. A lovely environment and perfect location in Hastings!

Brilliant little pub, super-friendly staff, great ales and lagers, loved it!

Good beer, polite staff who listened to my poems.

what a fantastic find this is! amazing food, lovely staff, live music and cheese bingo .. what more could you ask for? - o and perfect location (opposite the jerwood gallery and fishing huts) .. awesome venue

Great locals pub. Super ales and awesome staff

Great Pub - nice atmosphere - Great location and a nice beer garden too.

Excellent Sunday lunch, Malbec's good too.

One of my favourite old town pubs. Great atmosphere, varied crowd.

Exceeded expectations! We arrived in the rain, wet and cold, to an empty pub ( it was early) .. ordered nachos, pizzas and burger. Absolutely delicious, superb food .....

It was OK until my pint got knocked out of my hand

Nice friendly staff,supportive,good and nice size garden,nice place for smokers to ,enjoy

Fantastic pub with great staff. A winner in Hastings

We stopped off for a quick drink but got so comfortable in the beer garden that we ended up staying all night.

Loved the look of the garden when passing one evening so made a note to come back to this on a recent break to Hastings. We got a table in the garden at 7.30pm and the board said food served until 8 so we just had enough time. Unfortunately there was a lot off the menu (only reason I removed a star) so we went for the pizzas. I have to say this was a great decision as they were handmade (we watched them be made through the kitchen window) and then cooked in the outside pizza oven. The chef was great and the pizza delicious. One of the nicest meals we had during our week stay. There was also a man playing the guitar in the garden which made the atmosphere even nicer. Bar staff seemed a little confused when trying to order but were pleasant and polite. We ate here as a group of 3 adults and 3 children and were made to feel comfortable and welcome - some places advertised no children at all or after a certain time. The lights and bunting really make the garden a lovely place to sit.

Lovely pub, the beer garden was very surprising, absolutely gorgeous and a friendly pub cat came to say hello. Definitely will come again if in the area

Nice atmosphere, good table service and lovely garden

Nice pub in Hastings, only had one drink sat outside,seems OK friendly

Food looked so nice but we asked for food when we walked in and then by the time they served us they said the kitchen had closed. So just had to have drinks. Nice garden. Staff were a bit abrupt.

Been making the most of their take away Sunday roasts for a while now. Can recommend those. 😋

Good place for a woodfire pizza, and nice ales

One of the best pubs in Hastings old town

Descent pizza. Lager a bit pricey though.

Friendly staff great location, following government guidelines felt at home perfect pit stop after a long walk.

A straight forward honest pub with a garden. What's not to like?

Enjoyed a drink in the sun not a bad place

Fantastic food , had handmade burger and chips , delicious ! My friend had a super tasty oven fired pizza . Service very friendly and spot on . Will be back .

Great food! Great 👍 pub. See you again!

Recently visited and asked for a takeaway roast as we were staying nearby. The staff were hapyo to help and asked us to wait in the beer garden whilst they prepared the meal. Very generous portions and was lovely food. The only negative comment we did have was the gravy. But overall lovely food

Nice pub with a vibrant beer garden. Would recommend a better variety of beers. £10 for two pints.
