The best restaurants serving British food in Old Hastings Hastings South East

Stumbled across this hidden gem whilst walking along the front. Fab atmosphere with cool vibe and really great coffee (peaky blenders). Had the crab fries which were delicious although they stop serving food at 230pm so made it just in time. Service was great and friendly. Really great little business compared to the usual bigger names too.

What a brilliant idea all your favourite meats and cheeses in a box to take on the beach with you. I had cheese and ham platter with pickles it was delicious .Service friendly and very reasonably priced

Personally think this is the best fish and chips in Hastings

Our first visit here about a year ago was very enjoyable but this time my meal was a real disappointment. The venison itself was delicious, but everything else on the plate was subpar. The broccoli was raw, the dumplings were burnt on one side (hidden by putting them on the plate burnt side down), and the red cabbage was undercooked and very vinegary. The supposed “bernaise” sauce wasn’t one and was virtually nonexistent anyway, a teaspoon underneath the venison. The service was generally good but we had to ask for water twice, On the positive side my husband enjoyed his fish dish.

We came here as a family for the Bingo night at Christmas. It was such a lovely Tuesday evening playing bingo, winning big cash and having fun! Graham is such a great host at Bingo and we loved it as it’s different but very fun. We can’t wait to come along to more bingo nights here at the Dolphin.

Rude staff (long brown hair in pony tail) upon arrival I ordered food and coffees when asked where I was sitting I said there were no clean tables (4 tables had dirty plates on) and was told to sit down and she would clean the table when she brings the food over. So I cleaned the table my self. I then waited 45 mins for a salad and a panini , I had a 3 year old child with me and had I have been informed it would be that long of a wait I would have gone else where. On the plus side the other lady working there was very apologetic and friendly and gave me a few free coffee cards as a gesture of good will. Sadly I won’t be returning to this coffee shop

Super friendly service and the best calamari in East Sussex by a country mile. Delicious, every time. Definitely one not to miss.

Great place to eat , staff helpful & friendly 🙂

We are a small group of old farts who meet up once a month at various pubs for lunch. Our latest outing took us to The Anchor, George Street, Hastings. The pub is very old and stands amongst others and outlets of various stuff. Our January lunch there was, and we all agreed, one of the best meals we have enjoyed. I have added it to our list of 5-star venues, so we will be back.

Absolutely fabulous crispy cod and chips. Great flavour and a cup of tea. A real treat! Very clean cafe and everything was cooked to order.

Travelled from Maidstone to visit Hastings and decidet to try the Promonade fish bar.It did not disappoint.Service and staff were 10 out of 10,the food was piping hot and the portion size was very generous too!The place was nice and clean Would definitely recommend.

Fish was fine, but the chips were just frozen store bought chips put into the deep fryer. Not what you want if you go and get fish and chips at the seaside. Very dissatisfied. The lady serving was really nice though.

Popped in for birthday breakfast, both of us had ladybug breakfast absolutely delicious 😋, staff very friendly and welcoming,lovely and clean venue would definitely recommend this cafe restaurant and visit again

Very nicely cooked but the cod was a bit small. Update 11/02/25. Small portions.

Poor service by a male staff member on 29 Aug 24 around 1515hrs Asked for salt pepper, was informed to go and get it at the main door Used to get better service eating inside outside your not looked time after much Onions were not cooked on hot plates, but food was fair quality Prices above average if i was waited on and the food cooked better don't mind paying extra
