Great quality seafood, big portions and very reasonable price for the area. Fish cooked v well and chips seemed home made and not too greasy. Small restaurant but very clean and cosy inside. Friendly service.
Wonderful fresh fish and seafood deep in the old town of Hastings. It's a wonderfully small venue with a lovely laid back vibe.
Outstanding little private restaurant. Service was impeccable and the chalkboard menu did not disappoint (I've every faith it changes with the days catch!). We had scallops and potted crab to start, rack of lamb and hake for mains and panna cotta and chocolate torte for dessert. Everything was delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough, but BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL. It's a very small place (25 covers as far as I could tell) so I can imagine walk ins get lucky very often. The bill was not cheap, but we were happy to pay for the quality we received. We'll be back for sure.
We enjoyed a delightful Sunday lunch in mid-December. Indulged in delicious, hassle-free cuisine—each dish and side dish nicely cooked and bursting with flavour. The unassuming fish and chips presented with a plump, flaky fillet of fish that had been swimming in the sea just a few hours earlier.The friendly service added to the overall positive experience. What a gem! We look forward to returning for more culinary delights.
Have had the takeaway fish and chips on several occasions recently 12.00 for cod and chips, freshly prepared on order, very well priced and very tasty, Can recommend
Had a really delicious and enjoyable meal there last night. There was a very tempting range of dishes, including lamb and duck. We had lovely fresh fish, beautifully cooked and presented - served with asparagus, plus very moreish roasted carrots and potatoes. Service was great, very attentive and friendly. It's a small bistro so would definitely recommend phoning to book ahead. Had booked based on previous glowing reviews and extremely glad we did!
Very tasty food , professional and friendly service Fresh local scallops and lovely fish Highly recommend when you around
Surprisingly good lunch a huge cut above most fish and chip places in Hastings. Delicious food served quickly and efficiently by friendly, helpful staff. Looking forward to returning very soon.
