Great Sunday lunch today, the roast was delicious, we all enjoyed our food, the Asian chicken burger could have been more spicy though. Good atmosphere and we were well looked after.

We live on the same road as this pub so it is our local and I couldn’t ask for anything better. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the menu is brilliant with a good range of items, we visit for dinner often but this time we visited for steak night which is a Wednesday and Thursday and I would highly recommend! The food is yummy and generously portioned! Lovely to visit in the summer as the beer garden is one of the best in Hastings! Bonus you can take your dog with you even if you sit indoors

You get a real mixed experience here. Sometimes there is a chef and on those occassions the food is decent. Sometimes the owner's husbands takes his place and it is, quite frankly, vile. Here's my advice, when you walk in, look for a chef in a chef outfit. If he is there, go ahead and order. If you see a big bald man in a tracksuit in the kitchen, go somewhere else. The last time we are here there was no chef and I was served the worst meal of my life.

We come here when we fancy a good pub with decent pub food. The fish and chips is beautiful- batter perfect and fish fresh that day- delicious. Great atmosphere with music and we love the seats aren’t on top of each other. Fantastic staff providing great service- it ticks all the boxes and all at a reasonable price

We checked out other restaurants in the area and chose The Welcome because of the great reviews and it was near to where we were staying. We weren’t disappointed in the slightest. The minted lamb burger was totally awesome and the chunky chips were some of the finest I’ve ever had. The husband had the pork belly and he was in 7th heaven. The service was attentive and very friendly and the food came out under 20 min. We are musicians and both of us were so happy the music was at an acceptable level and entirely to our taste as well. Full marks for The Welcome!

We decorated the cordoned off space which was handed over to us for the evening, and got to select our own music play list. Everything was perfect.

Went out for a dinner with my partner earlier on and have had a fab experience. greeted by staff nicely, who were all quite young but were very professional, starters came out within about 5 minutes, and mains were given out 20 minutes after ordering (mains and starters). Nice quick service and will be back to try the other foods we were too full to try. the only fault I can think of is there is no access to disabled toilets. overall lovely food and staff, will be back again. ps the sweet chilli dip that came with the halloumi fries was 10/10

Had a good welcome at the Welcome Pub on Wed 31st August about 1.40 pm. The four of us had either meat or vegetarian brunch plus a few non-alcoholic drinks and a Longman blonde beer. My food was overcooked and not very appetising hence the 4 star as the pub itself with its fascinating objects inside and quirky beer garden with hens and rabbits was very appealing. So 5 star for quirkiness and excellent interior but 3 star for food. Service by the staff was excellent.

I have visited the welcome several times for lunch with various family members and friends (and will continue to do so) and am always happy with the family friendly atmosphere and the staff are always welcoming and polite. On the whole the food has been good, a favourite of mine is the halloumi burger and the sweet potato chips are to die for! I’ve only given 3 stars because the food always seems to take absolutely ages to come out even when it’s pretty quiet. If this could be rectified I would give a higher rating in a heartbeat.

I had never been to The Welcome before, despite it being basically my local...I had watched the renovations taking place a couple of years ago with interest, but hadn't got round to going in. The reservations were made last minute today and I have to say it was very nice. The children 's meals weren't too large which is often an issue and delicious according to the boys ( the carvery, which the eldest ate was not too small either, he finished the lot!) And the cavern choices were good. The desserts were lovely, I tried a bit of all but one... my husband covered it in custard! Homemade lime cheesecake, lovely, sticky toffee pudding, very tasty and the chocolate brownie with mousse and ice cream... yum. Apparently the apple and blackberry crumble was very tasty, but incredibly hot!

We’ve been meaning to give The Welcome a try for a while since it had been revamped and so glad we did, I phoned ahead to book a table and glad we did as when we arrived the staff were advising others arriving that the carvery had finished but the al a carte menu was still available, as we’d booked the carvery was available to us and it was amazing! The veg is cooked fresh to order and when it’s ready they call you up to choose your meat, pork, beef and there was a third but all I remember was how amazing the beef was! Cooked to perfection, pink in the middle and very tender! The kids loved it and enjoyed seeing the chickens roaming the beer garden!

I have been in here on numerous occasions since the refurbishment, and kept hoping that I would at some point get a vaguely decent meal, or friendly service. It's my nearest place to eat. It ticks all the boxes in as much as great quirky interior, child friendly, dog friendly etc. Sadly, the staff leave a lot to be desired, only once have I ever encountered a lovely friendly person working there, and have never seen her since. Without wanting to appear rude, some of the staff are unfriendly and incompetent to the extent that I really have no wish to use this place again. I have taken quite a few visiting friends in for drinks and food, and would certainly have continued to do, so had it improved in any way at all. The food.... on my first ever visit, with a wheelchair user, we tried the lunch time special. Cold, cheap horrid quiche, yuk. Of course they must keep it cheap to offer such a deal, but there's cheap nasty and there's basic acceptable cheap. Evening meals, I thought would be better, no chance, a disgusting mushroom burger on a dry stale bun, I could say more.about other dishes tried. Have been in for the lunch menu a few times since, always in hope, but less said is best. The staff can't even get all the meals to the same table together, some of us finished before the other meals arrived (evening). To top it all, on my grandson's 18th we went in and were going to eat, but the barman on duty was so rude when we ordered our drinks. We ordered a round, and the barman very rudely said in a loud voice "Where's his id?". If he had said it in a pleasant way, I would have happily popped home to get my grandson's passport, but the way he spoke to us was horrible. Obviously you have to ask for id, if someone looks young. There is absolutely no need for such an unpleasant attitude . I wish you well, as it's a lovely venue, sadly not for me, my family and friends. I really tried to enjoy it.

The home made tartare sauce was so over powering with taste of gherkin which looked like a green sludge, the scampi was a little over done which could be overcome with an edible sauce. Even worse the salad which hasn’t been seen since the 70’s two lettuce leaves, 3 cucumber slices and a quarter of a tomato that really was it. On the up side the kid’s burgers were fine. I have been there a few times it was “ok” on those occasions, the salad then was a whole lot better also the tartare. will not go back

I recently visited The Welcome for a function I was pleasantly suprised by the revived and funky makeover it had. The decor is now more like a trendy London or Old Town pub with plenty of seating and quirky elements.

I can safely say that my family and I are becoming regulars here! The staff are all so welcoming which along with the name of the public house is very true! You do feel welcome and I have to say that the amazing food and lovely friendly service makes us feel very welcome and on my brothers birthday we even got a candle for his pudding and the staff all came around and sang happy birthday to him! What a fantastic place friendly and well deserved a visit or two in the future!!! Great job guys

I’ve been a regular at The Welcome since it reopened last year. I keep going back because the food is good, the prices are reasonable and the service is excellent.

Having worked in Silverhill for a few years now, it's nice to have someone in the local area that serves up a damn fine lunch-time beer and burger - at a good price as well.

Quality Sunday roast. Couldn't decide which meat to choose so was offered a generous portion of each! Accompaniments were delish and plentiful, especially the cauli cheese, and nice to have the option of more veg if required. One request... peas please! :)

My friends and I have been going here for about 6 months and we really love it, the food is great and they have Long Man ales on tap. We go at least once a week and have never been let down. The service is friendly and efficient and the food is of high quality I recommend it.

We took our family (and puppy) to the Welcome for early dinner on a Friday night. The staff are incredibly friendly and the food excellent. The menu has a great choice of meals as well as lighter bites and a good kids menu (there was even treats for the dog). I would highly recommend to anyone!

My advice is not to wear nice clothing to this establishment as your clothes with be ruined with the smell of the cooking as they have no ventilation. There is a constant smog of smoke in the there which stinks. I am also concerned that being a family pub they should be setting examples to children that we have an obese problem in this country and should set examples of this. I found the bar staff completely overweight and rude. Overweight people are generally lazy which I found them to be. My advice is to steer clear and find a pub that does not stink and the staff are pleasant unlike what you will receive in The Welcome.

As a company we like to all get together at the end of the month for a meeting to share ideas and have a good chat about how things are going. This gives us a chance to also let our hair down. The Welcome has a nice warm and friendly feel and I could not praise their staff highly enough. They were friendly and welcoming and offered us great pub food which everyone enjoyed. Although there was over twenty of us they coped with serving us without it affecting there regular customers. Great tie and will come back again. Paul from Prosper Home Loans

I attended the Welcome yesterday for a charity event - an afternoon tea to raise money for the local hospice- not only had the pub donated many yummy cakes, the teas and coffees were also free of charge - the fundraisers said the Welcome is very supportive and generous of local charities and the landlady could not have been more welcoming or helpful

We have been member of the club for 6 years . We often go for breakfast but Brenda Andy have retired . The new people are absolute useless first you wait half hour for two breakfasts , to then be told you had not paid for two I went up and said to the lady to which she couldn’t admit it was her mistake , and basically told me and my husband to not come back . I love the club but won’t ever be using them for breakfast ever again shocking young people with chip on shoulders

Wonderful little cafe situated in the Old Town of Hastings. Every time we’re in the area we have to come and have our breakfasts here. They have a wide range of breakfast choices, homemade cakes and delicious scones. The staff is super friendly as well!!
