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

A casino for tourists visiting Brighton.

Visited St Clement's for a significant birthday dinner. The restaurant had a lovely old-fashioned ambience and just for a change, the music was tasteful and played at an acceptable, low volume . The service was first-rate throughout. I started with moules, which were excellent and came with a lemon-infused à la crème sauce, which was divine. That was followed by pan-fried halibut, with a risotto and whilst the halibut was cooked to perfection, I wasn't overly-impressed by the risotto. I explained to the maître d, that I was pretty exacting when it came to risotto, having been trained how to make it, in Venice, so perhaps I expected too much. The above was washed-down with an excellent Touraine Sauvignon blanc. I considered having a dessert, but found the menu lacking in classics, such as tarte au citron and traditional crème brûlée (they had one with rhubarb!), so I passed. The meal wasn't cheap, but was reasonably priced and I would happily return to St Clement's.

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.

Great service great food excellent service

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.
