Been coming here for years. Even when it&#39;s packed, the staff never seem flustered. They still manage to check in, refill your water, and keep things moving smoothly. That&#39;s the main reason I keep coming back.

Perfect for a quick bite before the show. Grabbed a pepperoni pizza, was ready in minutes. Tasted fresh and hit the spot. No fuss, just good food fast.

Love the chilled vibe here! Perfect for a quick bite with mates before hitting the town. We shared some nachos and they were spot on for sharing. The music was just right, not too loud to chat over. A solid little pit stop.

They were so helpful with our booking, and the photo booth was a nice touch. Made everything stress-free.

The ingredients here are so fresh, really made our girls&#39; night feel a bit more special.

The Sunday roast is generous, and the pork crackling was spot on. What stood out for me was how comfortable the chairs were &ndash; you could really settle in and enjoy the meal without feeling rushed. A nice, relaxed spot for a weekend lunch.

Gray was a real star at brunch. My mimosa never got close to empty, and he had a good laugh with us. Made the whole thing feel easy and relaxed.

This place has changed so much! Came for the Alberta&#39;s x Windmill collab. The wings were spot on, crispy and that sauce was just right. Happy hour oysters were a nice touch too.

Love the garden here, perfect for a sunny afternoon. The Guinness pour is spot on every time, just the right creamy head. Student pints are a decent price too. A solid local spot.

The kimchi fries were pretty good, nice and crispy. Aubergine fillet was decent, quite flavourful. A solid choice for plant-based options. The place was a bit loud, but fine for a casual meal.

Rob was super helpful when we ordered. The fried chicken and padron peppers were tasty and good value.

We hosted a small event here. The team on the day, particularly Dexter and Ben, were very attentive. It felt quite seamless, which made the whole thing much less stressful for us. Margot was also great with the planning emails beforehand.

Been to Thailand a few times, and this place really nails the flavours. The green curry was spot on. Perfect for a casual catch-up with friends, though the decor is a bit of a mix.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
