This was a lovely place I went to for breakfast before starting my day. I have the Royal Benedict…read morewhich was honestly the best Benedict Eggs I've had in my life. The draft selection of beers is, well, one beer - Korev Cornish Lager with Soul. It's a refreshingly bold lager that goes great with any egg and toast breakfast in my opinion. I will definitely be returning here before I leave back to the states, but hopefully I can get British Citizenship and avoid returning all together.

Quirky little cafe with veggie and vegan options. We stopped…read morefor lunch and had a toasty and a bagel both of which were delicious. The staff were a little quirky and regulars were earth loving people, both of which we enjoyed. Great place for a quick bite or an afternoon of coffee, cake, and conversation.

Hastings Old Town is the saving grace for a place that is, at best, underwhelming. The Old Town is…read morea run of a few streets surrounded by pretty churches and plenty of tiny former fishermens' cottages. It's similar to nearby Rye and many Cornish villages too, I like it and YOU should visit. Land Of Green Ginger is a good example of the upmarket, quirky and often Bohemian independent retailers that now abound. They seem to specialise in healthy, veggie food with brunch, cakes and drinks too. They have a pleasant courtyard to the rear & a good stock of magazines and papers to browse. The staff are friendly & take a pride in what they do. Oh yes, the menu always has something gingery on it............Quality. Five stars.

It was as amazing as could be! If you consider yourself a foodie like me and are looking for a relaxing spot to soak up Sun and coffee this is the place. Also their staff is beautiful!!!

I can't think of a better way to eat a traditional English breakfast than sitting in an iconic…read moreEnglish double decker bus. This cafe is run by the 1066 bakery (whose main 'bakehouse' is located just next door). So bread is super fresh and thick cut :) We've found food consistently delicious and quick. It's often busy but the staff are friendly and happy to help. We brought a birthday cake and they happily gave us plates (as they're a small cafe though I can imagine on a busier day they might not have enough spare if you're a large group like us - best to bring extra napkins if you want to do cake just in case). Great play structure for kids outside as well. Overall lovely little hidden Cafe - we will return.

A really great family-owned spot right on the main square in Hastings. Their paninis, though…read moreseemingly average in their refrigerated state, are absolutely amazing when grilled. Efficient service and a wonderful place to sit outside and enjoy a coffee.

Pomegranate is based on George Street in the Old Town of Hastings, and is a small but perfectly…read moreformed restaurant. It follows the pillars of all good restaurants. 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. I had Cod on a leek and buttery mash, with a seafood veloute, which was excellent. This is the kind of place that relies on word of mouth, and by gum that word is good, highly recommended.
