Regal Restaurant is a small, modest restaurant with a focus on fish & chips. It is located on the Hastings seafront, but without a direct view of the sea (and no outside seating area either). While neither the front nor the décor inside will fire anyone's imagination, it is a good place to get better-than-average and competitively priced seafood. I had the "two pieces of cod & chips" for UKP 12.50, and was served a huge portion of cod indeed (a single fried cod with chips goes for just UKP 7.10). The batter was crispy, the cod firm and fresh. Just the chips, as ever so often, would have benefited from some extra time in the frying pan. Drinks served include a few lagers and local ales, including a dark beer. The service is down-to-earth and efficient. Certainly Regal Restaurant is not the place to linger with your friends or family, but for a quick, inexpensive and decent meal I'd recommend it wholeheartedly. read more
