First visit this evening food and service top class staff really friendly and couldn’t fault any of the meals and by the way the banana ice cream was lush highly recommend!
Visited today (Tuesday) for lunch and was surprised to see it was v. busy. Tables had been reserved in the front bar, so we went out the back, with the dog. The food was very good, one had fried cod (they had run out of plaice) and chips served with mint pea sauce (mushy peas?) with salad. Another had pan fried sea bass served with a potato & onion mash with a mustard dill sauce and green beans wrapped in courgette slice i.e. v. well presented (see photos). We had time for coffees served with a biscuit each.
Time was limited as we had parked earlier, gone for a walk up East Cliff then returned for a quick lunch. We returned to the car with seconds to spare thanks to Adam and his team.
It's nice place, a bit isolated from the old town, we were nearby quite a lot, but it was our first visit, we have tried several local beer, which were delicious, we will back again for sure
Super-friendly local in the middle of Old Town Hastings with decent beer selection including a selection of their own brews. We stopped in on a whim while staying nearby and managed to squeeze a place at their weekly "Tapas Night" - amazing food and an incredible value at £5 a plate. Staff were extremely accomodating to us tourists on what was a busy night for them.
Delicious food, lovely staff and nice interior. Has a nice homely feel to it.
We received a warm welcome and great service. The food was excellent with some unusual and well thought out dishes. The menu is quite limited but what they serve is very good and great quality. It was nice to be able to talk without music blaring. A lovely place to have lunch or just a drink; and dog friendly too.
I've been visiting this wonderful pub, when in the area, for the last ten years but strangely have never eaten, thus the missing section on the review.
Hastings is blessed with a great many fine pubs and this is definitely in the top percentile - Ten years and not one, even slightly dodgy pint is why I gave it 5 stars. (Also the Romanian Pinot we had last week was lovely!) Please visit and enjoy.
On Thursday nights they serve great Indian Thalis at a reasonable price ( c. £20 a head including a beer). My companion and I both enjoyed the different Thalis we ordered. The waitress was also charming and welcoming and gave us first-class service. We ate in the restaurant area but food is also served, I believed, in the pub area. Recommended.
I was there with a friend, we ordered some prawns for a starter and a beef burger for dinner. Everything was delicious and very large portions which the two of us could not eat, even though it was delicious 🙈😋. The waiters were very nice and asked often enough if we needed anything more.👍 I highly recommend it and I will definitely come there with my friends.😁
The great advantage of this pub is the fireplace in the middle of the room.🤩
Great back street boozer in Old Hastings.The "FILO" A pub popular with the locals of all ages. Historic unspoilt building and bar.
Serves three local ales including Harvey's as well as Leffe on draught.
Bar staff very friendly.
Despite being busy managed to get a seat Friday and Saturday night.
Away from the bustle of the sea front.
Being a regular (60 miles away) visitor hence about every 5 years over the last 35 you would expect to see great change . Since my last visit the restaurant has taken off and serves tasty reasonably priced unpretentious food. The pub is still true to its micro brewery traditions. The staff are real and the service genuine and friendly
