The best restaurants in Hastings South East

We popped in for a quick bacon sandwich and coffee before shopping on Saturday. Quick service, tasty bacon sandwiches and the reason for this review is to call out the service we observed to others. The server with the brown hair and beard obviously knew his locals, and listening to him chatting to his regular clients was heartwarming, as for many he may be their only interaction that day. He was explaining to a lady that he was due to be off and that he would be back and that she wouldn’t see him for a few weeks. The young lady that delivered the sandwich to us was equally charming but both my husband and I sat listening to the chat across the counter and both said how nice it was to hear. So well done to the server, great customer service goes a long way!

Amazing friendly service, they will cater to your needs the food was spot on and so delicious. Alsovery good priced food

Lovely food and drinks! Also great customer service with super friendly staff, thank you Mercedes in particular for serving me!

We were recommended this place by a friend who gave it glowing reviews, so we thought we would try it. We ordered a delivery, which took longer than stated, then to our complete and utter disappointment the food was well below the standard expected. The sesame prawn toast was rubbery and very chewy, the duck spring rolls tasted stale, as did the rice. The Szechuan chicken was ok, the sweet and sour chicken had bone and cartilage in it and the person who ate it left the room to be sick, and unfortunately after that did not want to eat anymore; the chicken was also very grainy and had a strange texture and was also very chewy. The duck chow mien was below standard, the duck was overcooked and the noodles were very bland. It all seemed to have been frozen or left over from lunch time, reheated/nuked and delivered to us. All in all, we were very disappointed with the whole experience. It wasn't cheap either, although we did get a free bag of prawn crackers!

食物很好，地方很干净，装修很新潮，工作人员很友好，价格合理，非常好吃。而且有很多点心别的外卖店都没有卖我已经吃了很长时间了，如果有的话，我最近回来了，推荐给任何一个聪明的人。

They stuff is the most rude peoples I ever knew, they take ages to delivery the food at the table. And if you ask then about the food they will be rude as Highest standard. I dont recomend and I never will went there again

The DOVE Cafe is on Bexhill Road itself. The Dugout Cafe is at the back of shops on Bexhill Road. I added this review as when I search for The Dove Cafe, it brings up The Dugout Cafe. THEY ARE DIFFERENT ESTABLISHMENTS.

Arrived for brunch at 11.40am waited in a slow queue got to till at 12.02 not allowed the brunch. Due to being past 12, totally silly. Ordered croissants, not allowed after 12! Ordered banana milk shake not available! Took forever to arrive once we did get an order excepted🙄

Brilliant staff and excellent food. We would have scored a 5 but could not pay on the phone for the order and had to collect as didnt have enough cash for collection.

Picked up a takeaway and once again we are given the wrong food still charged full price and not interested when you call them it’s our fault.

Generous portions, great value, fantastic value for seniors. No frills, just wholesome better than "as advertised" food!

Had chicken biryani and chicken damask. Also had popadoms. I am a curry lover and can honestly say that this is the worst Indian that I have ever had. The popadoms tasted of fish and the chicken in both dishes was tough. I threw the lot away and wasted £21.

Very dissapointed as a regular here over the last year always enjoyed the SUPERB service provided by all the staff here however totally at a loss as to the company's decision to not only shrink there Small and large Rolls but last visit on buying my breakfast Roll (warm sausages in 2) I questioned the price and it was confirmed to me that my roll had gone up £1.05 in price which in itself was quite an increase but double wammy as the size of roll had clearly shrunk in size but here's the thing I usually take a large roll with chicken mayo and tomato for lunch at the same time this roll was STILL THE SAME PRICE so how can a small roll with literally hardly anything init COST MORE than a large which was always generously filled with fillings even a Prawn Roll large in chiller is cheaper. When i asked the lovely ladies I was politely told sausages and bacon had gone up. I did email the office but had no reply so here we are . Just wondered how many of you put there had notice the rolls shrinking and this price difference. I kno a few that stop buying sausage rolls after a huge increase nut there's justification for increases yes but I also feel there's taking the mic !

Walked in to a warm welcome from the guy working inside, had oysters and Bloody Mary. Fire was on, which was a bonus as freezing outside. Will come back in the summer to support this local business.

10/10 good food. Friendly people. We had 2 pizzas. It's was delicious..and very reasonable price .quick service
