Had a couple of drinks there on my way to old town one night when the place was nearly deserted. Not a place for beer drinkers, there's the usual Heineken/Stella/Kronenbourg/Guinness line-up. No real ales available. I wouldn't exactly vouch for utmost hygiene here, and the bar lady was a bit worse for wear - but that only adds to the atmosphere of the place.

Given the popularity of the event and the likely numbers of attendees the bar running out of at least four beers on the Friday night didn't bode well. As expected, no resupply occurred by the Sunday so by that evening there was a choice of about one beer and one cider on draught, a few bottles and a dwindling selection of spirits. Not a great way to run a bar. In terms of watching live music though there's a good space & set-up for it but someone needs to get a handle on the core reason for the place's existence.

This restaurant is where it was decided that my brother and sister-in-law would have their wedding…read moremeal after they were married on this last weekend on Saturday. Basically split into two section, one half a bar/pub section and the other an area for eating and restaurant. There were around sixty or so people at this wedding meal, and I'm not sure Pissarros had the facilities to accommodate so many people at once. We got to the meal after coming from the church, taking pictures and running through the rain. We sat and waited to be served and talked among ourselves. The head table was served about 30 minutes after getting there, each table not getting their food until 10 - 20 minutes after the people on the last table. So there were two table who still didn't have anything to eat by the time the first three tables had finished! So we mingled and talked among ourselves and bought more drinks. Unfortunately having 60 people in such a small area meant it was extremely humid and getting hot. Although we asked for some fans to be turned on they weren't. Perhaps I'm used to having really good food in London, but the food didn't seem to be as good as it could be. Elle had a steak, chips and a side salad. I had a "big kahuna Cajun burger" with chips and mini ramekin with a grated salad in it. Our friend had the veggie burger, chips which ironically had NO side salad. The Steak was cooked perfectly, but was tough and difficult to get through, it was obviously sitting around a while and wasn't succulent and tasty like you'd want it to be. Chips were fine, and salad was good. We also had a side of olives. My big kahuna Cajun burger wasn't very spicy, I was hoping for more bite and spice to it. Would have been better with a few jalapenos thrown on top or something. The chips were ok, although I had about 5 and I gave my salad to the vegetarian at our table. The Veggie burger was ok, but there was a lot of bread with it and lots of chips too and no salad, which considering she was vegetarian was a little weird. No one had any dessert as we were supposed to go to a reception later at a club and eat cake, and other dessert there. Overall, the staff were pleasant and friendly, the food was pretty good and they tried their best with the problems of having 60 people packed into a small area, wheelchair access and lots of bouncy children who had to sit down for 6 hours and try to behave. The steak was a little on the expensive side, @ £17! The veggie and kahuna burgers were £9 and £9.50 each.

I've tried their mussels - delicious, the plaice - scrummy, and the Moroccan tagine dish - super flavoursome. Another of the menu highlights is the fillet steak which comes out on a hot plate so you can finish it off exactly the way you like it and choose your own seasoning too. In the summer it's lovely to sit out in the garden and during weekends the bar area quite often has live music too. The only downside is that the service definitely slides with very large parties as they have a habit of serving smaller tables first. I popped back for lunch on another occasion and had the jerk chicken salad. It took a while to arrive (they were pretty busy) but when it did it was delicious and only cost about a fiver. A much better meal than you could get from most other local restaurants at the price. So if you're in Hastings any time soon, check out Porters.
