Good food, good service, and good atmosphere. The menu is limited but is seasonal and fresh, and caters for those with allergies to a degree.

This is my favourite fish and chip shop in Hastings…read more I grew up here, I've eaten a lot of fish and chips here. No, it's nothing glamorous. Just another cafe closer along to rock-a-nore. It's not because of my love of mystical sea Gods. I think it's because it has remained good. A reliable, steadfast place guaranteed to do a decent chip. That right balance of greasy and crisp.
