The best restaurants in Hastings South East

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing service, amazing decor, amazing...Everything! Will definitely come back here again! Giving this cafe a 5 star review feels like an insult! It deserves more than a five star! 10 out of 10 experience and i will definitely recommend!

I have had many breakfast rolls from Eileen’s over the years. Great service, friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Food quality is great with amazing tiger bread rolls/French sticks.

Love this place, been coming since it opened. Amazing bagels - the crispy capers were a revelation. Friendly service, also dog friendly- can’t recommend Sleeper highly enough.

What a amazing dinner we just had this is by far the best takeaway we have had the chicken shish came with rice the best salad ever and proper pitta all chargrilled is now our only place to go 😀💕

Love it here. Great food options, amazing coffee- wonderful staff. Light airy with big windows to people watch- which is perfect as it is right in the heart of the old town. Also have been here for gigs, events and its always a great vibe.

I make it a point to buy coffee here every morning during my walk. The coffee is superb, and Mark is very welcoming and friendly. Also, if you're looking to buy beans, you can get them here too. Highly recommend!

Don’t be put off by the unprepossessing exterior the food and service at the jasmine is fantastic! It’s also great value with good sized portions and fresh, tasty ingredients .. book ahead as it’s a small restaurant!

Great selection of games, staff are fab and so helpful and accommodating (also very funny, we laughed all night). We paid corkage which was very cheap and brought a few drinks to enjoy with us. Great value for money, really unique happy spot in Hastings, can’t wait to go back !

Visited the Cactus Hound for dinner and drinks and was blown away by the authenticity of the food. A group of us shared a variety of the dishes with some of the delicious cocktails from the menu and genuinely I would return weekly to eat/drink it all over again if I lived closer. Mezcal was smokey, empanadas were spicy and the staff were amazing. Venue is great too but I expected more cacti.

This place is epic. The food is AMAZING!!! all made in house including the cakes and sweet treats. Nadia the owner is the warmest host- its like you are a family friend visiting their home. I am currently eating my way through the menu and haven't found a dish i don't love. Please go in and try you wont be disappointed!!!!

We usually visit the 'Catch', but of late the service and availability of certain fish has gone down hill. Visited Hooked and Cooked, so glad we did. This will now be our go to, even though it's further away from Haven. Service was great, everything is Cooked to order, so expect to wait a while. Does mean food is piping hot! Portion sizes were great, a large chips could serve 3 regular adults. Fish is a great size too. Good value for money, we will be visiting again.

Lovely lovely little shop with great choice and good value bits for crafts and children. I bought a variety of items including peacock feathers and many little toys for my 2 year old. Please support this lovely gem of a shop 💕

So pleased we found this restaurant. The food was fantastic and the staff were lovely. We shared a selection of starters - garlic breads, olives and bruschetta. Our mains were a variety of pasta and pizza dishes. A few desserts too - the tiramisu was particularly popular. The house wine was good and the whole meal was great value. We will definitely be back

We loved it in here. Had a cracking time trying a couple of the beers. Thought the exhibition of postcards upstairs was rather, erm, Hastings. Atmosphere was great. Guy behind the bar was really friendly too. Definitely returning.
