The staff are really friendly and helpful. They gave some good suggestions for what to order.

The grilled fish was spot on, really fresh. What made it for me was the sommelier&#39;s suggestion of a crisp Riesling to cut through the richness. A bit of a wait for the main, but the pairing was worth it.

Tarka dal was spot on, and the lamb sag had just the right kick. Their house red was a surprisingly good match for the spices.

A proper old-school pub, just what you wanted. The Christmas decorations were up, felt really cosy. Had a pint by the fire, it was just the thing on a cold night. A nice change from all the shiny new bars.

Stumbled in by chance. The pizza was surprisingly good, thin crust with a nice char. Decent beer selection too.

Nice spot for a full English. Cooked well and served hot, just as it should be. The place is clean and tidy.

Been coming here for years. The harbour view is always lovely, but honestly, it&#39;s the seafood that keeps me coming back. Everything tastes so fresh. The staff are genuinely nice, too. A solid spot.

The roast dinner and fish and chips are solid, generous portions too. The space itself is nice and bright.

Lovely evening at Mirabelle. The pianist was a nice touch, and the service was so attentive without being fussy. My glass was never empty.

Booked for a big group. Staff handled it all smoothly from start to finish. Food came out quick, no stress. Made the evening easy.

Loved that they have a dedicated outdoor spot for dogs. Our little one was made to feel so welcome, and we got to enjoy our lunch in the sunshine. A really nice touch for pet owners.

Been coming here for years. The chicken jalfrezi is always spot on, proper flavour. Peshwari naan is a must. It&#39;s not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Nice to sit by the harbour.

The breakfast spread here is solid. Lots of hot options and condiments to choose from, and it didn&#39;t break the bank.

I am so lucky to have The Rodmill as my local eaterie. Donna and Gemma were so welcoming to my dog Dora. She loved the attention!.The food is very good and well priced. Special offers just enhance this. Visited 26/9/2026

Service was spot on even on a packed Friday night. The staff knew their stuff, especially when I asked about a wine to go with the lamb. They didn&#39;t rush us at all, which is nice.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, especially for the holidays. The food was hot and fresh, and the salad bar was a nice touch!

Good for a quick bite when you can&#39;t be bothered cooking. Food&#39;s solid and always comes well-packed.

Nice view from the balcony. Cozy spot by the sea. Seagulls were a bit much though, tried to snatch a chip. Good for a chill meal.

Stumbled upon this place while walking along the Hastings seafront. The veggie options on the menu are genuinely interesting. Had the roasted squash risotto, which paired nicely with a surprisingly good local white wine from their list. A solid spot for a casual lunch.

A solid spot for a quick breakfast meeting. Coffee was good, menu is straightforward and reasonably priced. The location is convenient, just off the main road so it&#39;s quieter. A reliable choice when you need efficiency.

Cosy spot, elegant feel. The skate wing was spot on, sea bass too. What really worked for me was their NZ Sauvignon Blanc &ndash; that crisp acidity cut through the richness of the fish perfectly. Hosts were lovely. Just a touch on the pricey side for the portions.

A bit pricey for Hastings but you get what you pay for. The small kitchen puts out some really fresh, vibrant plates. Loved the relaxed, order-at-the-bar setup in this old town spot.

Lovely spot on a cold day. The open log fire was just right, made the whole place feel really cosy. Had the veggie lasagne and a pint of Spitfire, all very solid.

Cosy spot, especially the tables by the fire. Just the right kind of warmth for a damp evening. The drinks list is really good, had a lovely local gin. A bit pricey for a pub, but the vibe was spot on.

The portions are massive for the price. Had a late lunch here and honestly didn&#39;t feel hungry again until the next morning. Staff were really nice about it too.

Been coming here for years. The Etna pizza is my go-to, love the crispy crust and generous toppings. They don&#39;t skimp on quality, which is rare these days.

Solid fish and chips spot. The curry sauce is a winner, really adds to it. Good for a quick, no-fuss lunch. Prices are fair. Got my order in and out fast, which is what I needed.

Lovely, relaxed spot. The staff were genuinely friendly, which made a big difference. The festive vibe was nice, but it did get a bit loud later in the evening. Still, a good place to unwind.

Grabbed the beef roast for a quick Sunday lunch. Came out fast, which was perfect. The meat was really tender. Staff were nice and efficient. Good spot for a proper meal when you&#39;re short on time.
