    Had a surprisingly wonderful dinner meal here, expected normal pub fare but the menu is much more…read moresophisticated than I thought it would be. Staff is lovely, service was great, and food was delicious--just passing through, too bad this isn't a longer work trip!

    Went to the squirrel for Sunday lunch with the family and have had a fantastic experience…read more Being British Sunday's have always belonged to the ritual of a good hearty Sunday roast, and the squirrel has exactly that! Upon arriving you are greeted by the bar and to be honest that's exactly what you want we did book as this is a very popular destination for Sunday lunch time. We didn't wait long before we were seated, we sat in the back room that opens up into the garden via big double doors, the menu is very limited on a Sunday purely due to the popularity of their Sunday carvery but their is other options including vegetarian. The carvery has a wide selection including gammon, pork belly (with crackling), turkey, lamb, topside beef and sirloin of beef so take your pick and heap it on! The atmosphere is very pleasant and the staff are friendly, warm and couldn't do enough to make sure your time spent there is as good as possible. The grounds that are to the back are pleasant and offer seating for eating or just as a beer Garden, along side that there is a really good slide for the kids to keep them busy. Now the reason I have only given 4* and not 5* is simply the parking issue! While there is parking there and is ample, on a Sunday it's just not big enough, most of the time the car park is full so your forced to park half on the road and half on the grass to the side of the road and its worth mentioning that the road is more of a country road and is not all that wide so if you have a nice car you don't feel that comfortable parking there! (But this doesn't reflect the restaurant, food or staff but has to be said) **** TOP TIP **** Make a reservation!!!!

    Not only was this a typically British pub, but it also felt like an independent one. Then again it…read morewas actually a brewery as well, which meant that they had some pretty decent beers on tap, and a really nice beer garden out the back. Actually, I really quite liked the beer garden, and the sign, I liked that as well.

    Well, I didn't stay at the Inn, but I did eat lunch at the Pub!…read more I must say from the time we walked into this pub we were welcome with smiles and hello's. The bartender, who was also our server/waiter, was very friendly and helpful and told us to sit anywhere we liked and when we were ready to order just come up to the bar and let him know. I, of course had the fish and chips with peas. The chips were just frozen french fries fried up and not very good, but the fish was very yummy! Fresh, flaky, and not greasy at all. I was in heaven with this fish and it's nummy yummy partner, the tartar sauce.....mmmmmmmm good! What can I say about the peas except they were fresh and very good. They were peas, what can I say..... One of the best parts of this pub was its atmosphere! It was a cold and very windy day the day we went in and they had a cozy fire (real wood fire) in the fireplace right by the table we were at. So cozy! And there's something about this place that just feels good....very good energy indeed! I give this pub 2 thumbs up and will be back someday!

    Teddy's Beach Diner - Couldn't get any more 'seafront'

    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.
