A friend and I were spending a long weekend in Hastings, joining others to stay in St Leonards on…read moreSea where we were renting a holiday home for a few days. We arrived into St Leonards Warrior Square station around lunch time and were planning on having lunch before checking in to our accommodation. The point of which is that we walked from the station to the seafront (downhill to the sea, then turn right along the waterfront) to Teddy's Beach Diner. We were here in early November and it was forecast for rain a couple of days before, but on the day it was blue skies and sunshine. Which as it turns out meant that the balcony of Teddy's was a perfect place to perch for a pre-lunch drink and then food in the sunshine. And being on the 'beach' side of the road, the unobstructed views over the water are just amazing. The staff here are just lovely; they were engaging and we had brief but meaningful conversations - even about as mundane a topic as our choice for wine. For one server it was their first day at work. The service was uniformly friendly and efficient at every point. We sat outside but the service included keeping in regular contact with us to ensure that we had everything that we needed. The menu is as the name implies, a Diner style i.e. informal and American influenced. There are some seafood choices available given the seaside location, but as we were planning to have seafood at dinner I went for the more standard burger for lunch. It was very tasty indeed, served on a wooden chopping board. Brioche bun, high stack of (homemade) burger meat with tasty bacon and lovely pickles, and a little tin of fries to the side. My friend had a half rack of ribs, which was plenty big enough for lunch - covered most of the plate! We returned here twice for drinks over the course of the weekend. Sat indoors then as it was later in the day. Tables are a good distance away from each other so no crowded feeling. We even scored some free homemade popcorn with our drinks. Don't often find something for nothing. Prices are very reasonable too - both food and drink. In short this place ticks every box - comfortable, friendly service, amazing views, tasty food and it won't break the bank. Definitely recommend.

Its a real rustic kind of place and you can't help but feel relaxed when inside. The staff are friendly and helpful and always offer some advice on which is a good thing to order (there's so much to choose from! There's always something on the menu that has been caught that day which is a real treat to taste but usually go for something from the 'spoiler' menu (so called as its good to spoil your self once in a while) and last time went for the Fish Factory Wellington which is like a beef wellington but with cuts of fresh fish in a cheese sauce. Its decadent but absolutely mouth watering!

This was hands-down, top five best fish I have ever eaten so far. We walked in fairly late at night…read morewithout any reservations, but the servers (who were lovely) seated us in 5 mins and then gave our party of three a heads up that our dishes would be some time and if we were hungry, we should get some starters. We were okay to wait and it was so worth it. The bouillabaisse ordered by my brother, gosh, I wanted to lick his plate clean. In fact I will so order this dish if lucky enough to go back. But my grilled fish (I got the special of the night, forget the type) was pretty fantastic too. The third diner got the same as me, and we both just loved the taste of the marinade which was super clean, and just totally complimented the taste of the fish. We both also found that our seafood dishes were grilled to absolute perfection. I am so envious of the locals that they have this excellent restaurant in their area. If you are visiting and don't try a meal here, it would be a real loss. As for me, I need to plan another trip to Littlehampton so can dine here again!

I tried the 'today's special' menu and opted for roasted duck's legs, mashed potato, celeriac and plum sauce. It was absolutely delicious and aesthetically arranged with chives on a square white plate. My partner had the three fish special which she enjoyed equally. To round it off we shared some lumpy-bumpy chocolate cake with cream which was exquisite, not so much a cake, more a melt -in-your-mouth experience - one of the best desserts i've had. The only downside was the 'Pinot Grigot' wine which tasted more like a dry house white. Other than that a most enjoyable meal in a comfortable space in the heart of Hastings old town.

On the board, they advertise various kinds of oysters, fish and chips and half lobsters. They were out of the cheapest oysters so we got the local tressels, half dozen for £10.

The half lobster looked pretty good too, and a great deal at £13.50. Our oysters were large, fresh and delicious, so good we came back later for another round. I was thrilled with the place.
