Ye Olde Pumphouse in Hastings

Superb pub with a lovely old feel about it 😀

Called in for lunch today, great welcome from the friendly staff, husband said roast was one of the nicest he'd had and captains pie was tasty. Amazing old pub.

As Beautiful from the outside as it is on the inside, this pub is an amazing place to grab a pint or two while staring at the rafters, all the details of its decorations. It can get pretty crowded but the overall atmosphere is nice and warm. Definitely a spot to visit while in Old Town Hastings. UPDATE : we finally had the opportunity to try the food and it was delicious! We had the Seadogs and the Steak and Ale pie and it was generous and perfectly cooked.

Loved this very old pub we came across in Hastings Old town. We went in around 15.30 and it was busy with a mix of friends and families but yet it wasn’t too loud which was so refreshing. We ordered the cod and chips and it was extremely tasty. Big portions, enough for one between two. Recommend if you take a trip to Hastings! Food was great and the pub had so much character and very cosy.

Lovely old pub. Great food and drink

Stumbled across this place on our day out and was not disappointed the food was fantastic and service was great nothing seemed to much for the man that took our order large portions nice and clean and well presented never had any beer but coffee and tea was excellent along with the muffins. So this is our new place to eat on our monthly trip to Hastings plus the pub is dog friendly which is a big bonus to us.

Fabulous atmosphere in this very busy pub. We managed to get in early and found acorner table to accommodate us and space for the dog. Great food.

Lovely old pub. Cosy & good food.

Very cool pub/inn epic looking building like stepping into a pirate movie fantastic architecture. Brilliant atmosphere serves nice pub food lots of drinks and cocktails on offer Brilliant pub. Reasonable prices, nice staff at the bar pool table upstairs 2 bars very busy and can see why well worth a visit.

Came here back in the summer and had the All Day Breakfast. Absolutely brilliant! Great tasting food, nice service and beautiful setting.

Amazing old pub, really lovely vibe inside. Pints were good and reasonably price. Stopped in for lunch and the food was good and priced fair aswell.

Attentive staff and great old pub

Love this pub, we had Sunday roast of lamb shank, beautiful cooked, lots of veg and potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding. couldn't fault it. staff always great and atmosphere wonderful

Pop in for a drink at lunch time kitchen busy bringing out food relaxing ,one of many me and partner visited

Nice old pub with friendly staff,we didn't eat there as we were going to bexhill

Love this old pub, very quirky, food is delicious, made many a special trip to go there.

Popped in for a drink, stayed for food. Lovely pub, staff are all amazingly friendly and helpful. Food was good. Definitely going back when we are in Hastings, always made to feel welcome.

Didn’t eat, but I saw the food coming out and it looked good. Great pub, good beer, good layout and the guys behind the bar were friendly, who could ask for more.

Has a small bar at pavement level but go up the side alley and a lovely bar there with a beer garden...very deceiving but older worldy as per the name. Definitely worth the visit.

Had a lovely time with friends and food was great

Just a wonderful old pub in a fun seaside town. Went twice. Hamburger was great but Sunday roast is the real star here. The apple crumble with custard is also fantastic. I don't drink but my father enjoyed the beer on tap.Cool atmosphere and highly recommended. Clean modern bathrooms. They totally need to sell tee shirts or other merchandise here.

Really lovely pub, the food was great staff are very friendly and the interior is a bonus 😊

Great choice of IPAs, very friendly staff.

Definitely not a family pub ,wouldn't go there again to have a meal kept being told you have to be gone before 7.30 would not recommend for family

Very capable staff member under much pressure because of the number of customers coming in to avoid heavy rainfall. Managed to keep on top of the situation. Extremely helpful to us elderly customers. Top notch for service.

We love Ye Olde Pumphouse, every year we visit Hastings and always have a meal here. They cater for vegans too, I had chickpea curry then vegan dessert and a latte.

Stopped for drinks when in the area for work. Lovely old pub with tons of character. Great selection of non-alcoholic drinks.

What a diamond of a place, fresh, well presented food and at a very good price, definitely going back, first class excellent well done ye old pumphouse.

Good food, good historical athmosphere.

What a very welcoming pub.we went into the pub whilst on a few days break.they have a great selection of beers to cater for everyone's needs.the staff are so very friendly and very professional in every aspect of there jobs.we had an amazing plowmans lunch as well as a few beers.would highly recommend a visit if you are nearby.

This place isn't messing around when it comes to portion size we fancied Apple crumble and got the best apple crumble I have experienced so far. The venue is unique an old 1600 style pub and diner, the staff we were served by Miles great service...next time we are back in Hastings we'll rush back lol.

Only one ale on. Bar staff rude and unfriendly. Shame because the actual building is incredible.

Historic pub with a good choice and beers on tap. One decent cider, but could have a better choice of beer in the fridge, which was very average. Attentive and friendly staff.

Lovely staff and excellent service

Loved the food and the old Tudor beams. Music a bit too loud.

Very cool! Didn't know what a snake bite was. But a good time was had.

2nd time here, as had a great steak 1st time round. Sadly, it's not as good as 1st time, so I'm guessing different chefs, perhaps. Cold peppercorn sauce and meal looked like had been thrown on plate. Shame as we thought we had found a new place to go.

The 3 cheese ploughman's was 100% perfect, the atmosphere is amazing you can almost feel the ghosts x

A beilliant pub to socialise in

Bacon, sausage, and egg baguette with chips was amazing.

Great Pub Resto 🍻 We Book table for 2 A bientôt ;) From France

Couldn't eat there with kids (11 and 13 yo). Even when we showed up earlier. The curfew rules kept changing like they made them up on the spot.

Fantastic pub, great service and a good pint

Lovely old pub with plenty of character. Great menu, the fish pie is to die for!

I want to thank all the staff for a wonderful 70th birthday celebration, food delicious and speedy service, very friendly and happy atmosphere.

Excellent food with a great vibe, lovely staff.

Amazing Pub. Felt the history when in there. The food was excellent. Staff were excellent. The atmosphere was brilliant. Thank you so much.

Loved the pumphouse!! Great food, great drinks and all served in a friendly, cosy atmosphere. Thanks to the team of staff.

Young staff, who felt they where possibly the best thing since slice bread, wanted to serve locals before anyone else. Shame.

Gorgeous, great selection of beer. So atmospheric.

Great beers 🍺🍺🍺 Lovely stuff. Old and nice house. Lasagna is really great

Only stopped in here for a drink while in the area. It's a lovely pub that l think is run by a family. I liked the atmosphere in here & the history that it had. The entrance is on the side & the roof is low, so be careful.

Fantastic looking building really cool place very busy and pretty pricey for a drink so only had one but looks amazing oldy worldy pud

Lovely mock Tudor style pub with lots of nooks and crannies. Fairy decent selection of cask and keg ales. The chilli nachos were stacked!

Lovely old pub in the old City Center. Very funny, talkative and friendly staff. Great meals - a absolute „go-to“ location in Hastings!

Beautiful pub, great food and outstanding customer service! Highly recommend!

Lovely old pub. Really nice atmosphere with friendly staff.

Pretty nice and at the same time quaint pub. The burger was powerful but tasty. The Ham in particular was outstanding. I liked that I was allowed to try all the IPAs before I ordered.

Unique old Englush pub. Steeped in history. Friendly staff...London prices.

Friendly staff, fast service, lots of tables. We didn't eat but the food looked nice. Great atmosphere

Delicious food, good atmosphere

A lovely old pub with fantastic staff and good food.

Friendly and welcoming. Was lovely to have playing on screen the history of the pub. We didn't eat here as we had already eaten elsewhere. But food looked enticing. Would highly recommend.

Cute old pub witha nice atmosphere.

Fantastic atmosphere in a great old in Old Hastings. Prices for food was reasonable and the food was well portioned and delicious.

enjoyed my cod and chips and a coffee.

Good pub grub, nice staff, good drinks

If you go here try a latte and a one of their fancy bacon rolls....banging...

I absolutely love this pub. It has so much charm and character. The staff are lovely always polite and friendly and food is amazing.

Everything very tasty. I recommend

Found this pub in the Old Town while looking for somewhere for dinner. Excellent sausage and a lamb shank. Very friendly service. Good food.

Lovely and calm place(@least during day time)

Brilliant place, food was amazing, the service was great and the music to go with it all topped it off

Stumbled upon while looking for something for a drink and pub lunch, during our mini break to Rye area. Travelling as a late thirty to early forty something couple, with Italian Greyhound in tow - we can be quite picky with our pub choices. On the last day of our trip we took a slightly blustery drive out to Hastings. Avoiding the pier, and rundown parts of town, we took a walk through the quaint Old Town with Luigi (the pup) trotting alongside. We spotted several Sheps houses along route, which surprised us a little being outside Kent (where we are from), knew they were in Sussex but didn't expect to see three in succession here. Looking for a lunchtime pitstop we were lured by both the olde-worlde charm of the exterior, and a chalkboard promising they were dog friendly. Up the steps to the main entrance round the side, we were not disappointed. A wonderfully warm and friendly pub, even on a blustery day most tables were taken and there were many hounds also there. Reassured by both a friendly welcome at the Bar, and the usual good Shepherd Neame choices on draught, we parked up on a cosy table round from the main bar. Comfortable surroundings and warm upbeat atmosphere, it didn't feel pretentious or rundown, just somewhere in the middle. An honest friendly pub welcoming lots of clientele, with a few quirks. The menu looked varied enough, with lots of classic pub staples too, and reasonably priced. Opted for a steak, and a pie and mash lunch. Good portions, homemade, well priced for this part of the world on the coast and couldn't complain. All in all very pleasant visit, good atmosphere, hearty pub food and dog felt very welcome too. Would come again if in the area, and bit of a hidden gem from it's unusual street side mock medieval or Tudoresque facade. Recommend dropping in if you're in Hastings.

Went here with my wife today for a Sunday roast and it was delicious, my only gripe was the beef was just a little too pink for me. The roast spuds are fantastic 😋

This is a great old building located in Old Hastings on George St. We popped in for a drink, saw someone else's meal, decided to order our own food and another round of drinks. Well the food was great, as was the beer. We ordered an Admiral burger (chicken burger) and a Green Beard burger (spicy bean burger). Both came with chunky chips. The Admiral had slaw, the Green Beard had guacamole and sour cream. The beer was good too, I recommend the Spitfire Amber Ale. Well worth a visit if only to see inside. The venue is very popular.

Great olde word pub in Hastings old town. Very quirky and a good friendly atmosphere.

If possible, I would have given 6 stars!!! Lovely atmosphere/decor ... good value prices with EXCELLENT vegetarian option ( vegan also available ) and nice choice of keg beers (also one cask !!) All in all, a DEFINITE place to visit if in Hastings! Staff are smiling and attentive - GREAT!

I loved this pub, beautiful old building and aesthetic inside, the staff were really friendly, beer selection was great, as was the food, with added bonus of complete vegan/veggie section. Overall great atmosphere and will be back!

Dog friendly, friendly staff and helpful, good food. What more do you need

Amazing looking old pub. Friendly staff. Great place to stop for a meal & drink. In a interesting road.

Awesome service, Miles was the most friendly and awesome server. Couldn't reccomend more.

Great size portions, high quality delicious food and very reasonable prices, brilliant service and such a beautiful old fashioned pub.

Staff were not welcoming on arrival, I had not been before and staff member assumed I knew where I was sitting,was also not told had to order and pay at the bar, tables are so crammed together, food was average at best, would definitely not go again,definitely not wheel chair friendly or anyone with s pushchair as there are lots of steps.

Great pub, have been coming here for years and will continue to. Only thing that's a bit disappointing is that (as far as I can tell) they've taken away all of the Jack and the Green photos that were up on the wall, and replaced it with a no vaping poster, which has removed some of the character unfortunately.

The place is lovely and the food is good too usually, but I had a nut roast that wasn't very nice, unfortunately. It was a sloppy mess of stuff and didn't have a nice taste. So I just ate the veg and Yorkshire pud that was with it. I wouldn't recommend it. The garlic bread was lovely and the chips are too. So I would not have the unroasted, nut roast again. And have something else instead.

Had a very nice dinner here. The menu was very good and what we had was very nice. The Nachos with homemade Chilli and Lamb Shank were very good indeed. Also had a nice couple of pints of beer. Recommended

Fantastic old pub with a great atmosphere. The Guinness and ale were spot on. The food was clearly not standard out-of-the-freezer fayre some pubs serve. All at a very reasonable price. The vegan options were plentiful and varied, not that I'd personally choose them. The staff were welcoming and helpful to a tee. To the point where, on our way out, a member came around from the bar to assist me with the door as I shepherded my 2 large dogs outside. When I told him it wasn't necessary, he explained that I had my hands full with the dogs. Can't rate the experience highly enough, or thank the staff enough, they clearly deserve a pay rise; kitchen and bar. I will be visiting again, when next I eat out in hastings. The only downsides I could find were; the pool table looked like it'd seen more drinks than the tables and wheelchair access seemed like it would be an issue (whichever way you approach the pub involves standard old-town steps), however it wouldn't surprise me if they had measures in place and would gladly offer assistance.

Great old, beamed, dog friendly pub in the heart of Hastings old town. Nice friendly atmosphere.

Great place, always worthy of a visit.

awful food really bad service from the blonde woman there, got our order wrong. We then where refused to get the order corrected and too expensive. My friend is vegan and got something they can’t eat!! they said she can’t get her order remade, honestly ridiculous. NEVER going there again.

Delicious Sunday Roast and great beer. Always a good vibe.

Terrible food, terrible service, terrible attitude. All round bad place! Wanted to leave after only 5 minutes stuck in there.

Staff was rude!!! Ruined the atmosphere for mine and my husbands anniversary.

Awful service really, so rude and unwelcoming. Food wasn’t even that great… such a waste of such a beautiful place and lucky location. Hope it changes management soon and brought to it’s full potential. 👎

Beautiful looking pub with exposed beam exterior. Food looked good pub fayre beer was average mainstream selection

Went in as they're dog friendly and they were fantastic. Staff were so nice, had the lamb shank roast and it was superb. Definitely go back next time in Hastings.

I thought this was a lovely little pub. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the food was great and they have a nice selection of local ales. Dogs are welcome, too 👍

What a fantastic place! The building is beautiful, inside and out. The food here is great, especially the beef & ale pie which is fantastic. Also I highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding which is delicious! The food is good value with generous portions. The staff here are very friendly. Also a great selection of beers and wines. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. 10/10.

Though not actually a particularly old pub (1950s build) the materials are old. Correct information about it is available. Is still atmospheric and pleasant pub.
