Pub right in the very busy and attractive George Street in Hastings.
Food is available and there is a small garden to sit in as well as street seats. Staff are friendly.A smaller pub but often busy.
First visit. Took my son on his 16th birthday. Had a great time. Very good pub grub (some of it with a nice twist, as chef is Portuguese) and a really friendly and warm welcome. Beer very well kept too. Will definitely come back.
It being part of a chain that specialises in beer, the pub had problems with its cooling system which meant there was only one ale on tap instead of 10. Evidently it was going to take a long while to fix. Pleasant bar attendant.
Fantastic coffee cold drinks and food and if u haven't got a reuseable cup u have the option to buy one there and the app is fantastic for the days u have little time to hang around as u can order on the go and by the time u get there is should be there waiting 4 u if u have to wait its never that long
Sadly this is not a good review, we have been residents of Henfield for many years and have enjoyed, up to lockdown, a great pub for atmosphere, food and a great evening out. Since this was taken over after lockdown the pub has been a disaster.
We celebrated my sisters birthday yesterday with a family lunch of 17 people. The breaded mushroom starter was like eating bullets. It was so overcooked and hard, you had to pick it up with your fingers as you couldn’t pick it up with your fork. The roast dinner was appalling, the meat was so tough you could t eat it, the roast potatoes tasted old and were soft as if they had been microwaved, the food was only just warm and the gravy was like water and tasted awful. After we finished, well couldn’t eat anymore, some plates were removed but most plates with uneaten food were left in front of us for the whole time we were there and not removed, It’s sad to write a bad review but without people telling establishments that there service and food was way below standard they will not know where they need to improve. Paying £20 a roast dinner for what was served up is way above price. Please improve your standards
Met up with family here today. The four of us had a lovely lunch with pleasant and efficient service. The pub was quiet which meant we had a choice of table. The place had been freshened up and was clean and spacious. We had a table by the window which was private and uncluttered.
The menu was a good one with a range of dishes supplemented with a pie menu and a pizza menu too. My husband had ham, egg and chips which was generous and well cooked. Our companions both had different pies served with mustard mash, cabbage and gravy. I had an Alsace pizza and side sald both of which were delicious.
Having been to The Bull over the last 6 or 7 years we have had varying experiences. This was definitely one of the better ones with good food and service. We wish the new owners well in making this venture a success. They are certainly breathing new life into the place
The overall experience was really really good, albeit with a few minor bumps. The greeting was friendly and informative by Alex. We were shown to our hut which was absolutely beautiful and very well made. The fridge wasn’t working so our drinks could not be chilled, we did mention this and it was said that they’d check but that didn’t happen. The hut was unbelievable, we loved sunbathing in the afternoon and then lighting a fire in the evening after dinner and roasting some marshmallows. We had a table booked for 8pm and we didn’t get sat until around 8.20pm, but our table was lovely. Nice size and well spaced out. The restaurant area was brilliant. The meal was a tad overpriced in my mind but the food delicious. We saw a lady walk out and say service was slow which made us a bit nervous but our waiter was lovely and attentive. Breakfast top notch the following day, the coffee really good too. I did email ahead of time and mention it was my girlfriends birthday, and asked if a bottle could be left in the room, which was confirmed but sadly it didn’t happen. Other than those minor blips, the experience was unbelievable and we’ll be back
Tried to obtain access to this venue recently and appreciated that there was a queue. However the security guards at the entrance were very rude to us as a gay couple wanting to gain access to the venue. It was apparent that access to the venue was prioritised by friends of the security team whilst we were there waiting. And when we politely pointed that we were in the queue and had been gazumped the lady security operative said if you re going to be dicks about this then you’re Not going to be let in. We were Bon threatening and it was a very polite exchange I felt she was offensive and for a gay friendly venue was very dismissive of us especially as we had been customers in this venue earlier this evening and in numerous time before as our local gay friendly venue
