The best restaurants serving British food in Central St Leonards Hastings South East

A casino for tourists visiting Brighton.

We went for lunch for my special birthday and it really was a special lunch, what a wonderful restaurant St Clements is. The food was excellent, very flavorful, beautifully presented with great attention to detail. Service was wonderful with a personal touch, to every diner, not just us. Thank you for such a memorable lunch. Can't wait to go again

This is a gem of a spot, the owner and staff really know their food and drink, they use the very best ingredients and both food and drink is locally sourced wherever possible. The whole dining experience is first class, the atmosphere is relaxing and unhurried, then as an added bonus there is a great view of the sea, I thoroughly recommend.

I had lunch here for the first (and last) time today. I hope my review helps others as I’ve very rarely been confused enough to write a review of a restaurant. Firstly, they have tapas of 3 plates with a glass of wine for £18.50. I’ve a urinary infection atm, so definitely no wine. I asked for the tapas minus the wine please, but was told I’d be charged for wine anyway🤷‍♀️. Where is the flexibility? Then told I could have coffee or tea instead? I’m only drinking water because I have an infection I explain. Still no budge. Ok, I’ll have the hummus, then. The hummus is not a side but it’s on the menu as a main. Surprised to see a small tea plate arriving with a small portion and told I need to order bread (in order to eat the hummous) at £6.50 a portion. Either that or you can eat it on its own which no one has ever done in the history of hummous! My friend ordered a celery dish, which also came in a tasting size at £12 a portion. We ate, paid (mistake in the charge which I noticed, not once, but twice) left hungry and went somewhere else to have lunch… I see this review has been answered by the owner not addressing this complaint in a customer friendly manner at all. But rather answering with a lie. I was NOT offered another dish at all AND I wish I’d taken photos of what I was served in order others can see the size of your “great value for money” portion. I’ve since spoken to people who live in this town who thought it terrible behavior but not uncommon for this place and another cafe owner on the street who also thought it was unacceptable. I can now see why, if this is how a genuine compliant is met from a restaurant owner. Also no apology for over charging by £22 to which I had to point out to the server and then over charging again by £11 before I received the correct bill. And if it’s “so popular” as the owner writes, why were there only two tables occupied at peak lunch time🤷‍♀️ It’s quite simple!

Love this place. The staff are amazing and the breakfasts are just incredible. The quality of the produce is first class- proper sausages and bacon, proper toast and eggs done just how you wish. Everything is cooked to perfection.

Starsky & Hatch is the best little hatch in town. Their oat milk lattes are delicious. Their vegan & veggie options are plentiful. The fish is fresh, & all the meals are so tasty, from their simple granola through to their delicious poké bowls. The smiles inside the hatch rival the smiles outside. Their positioning is picture perfect, with the most scenic view of St Leonards sea & beach, with Hastings to one side, St Leonards to the other, & the pier in sight; nay, reaching distance. The food is made to order, so isn't fast food, or greasy. It's good food, healthy, cooked well, & cooked quickly. The ambiance is chilled, relaxed, & full of fun. Customers range from dog walkers to swimmers, runners to box freestylers, Daytrippers to locals who keep coming back because Starsky & Hatch are so welcoming. And we will keep going back 😀

Wonderful food, very quick service and friendly staff! Do stop by if you are in the area!

The staff was very friendly and understanding! The atmosphere was great very cozy and welcoming. The staff was also able to provide child friendly options even though there was no kids menu which was great. The food was absolutely amazing and overall very unique we had a great time. Also the portions were not too big which was great . Thank you so much.
