The lamb vindaloo had a good kick to it, not too overpowering. Staff were friendly and knew their menu, which helped. Solid choice for a curry night.

A proper old pub, love the history here. The outdoor seating is a treat in summer, perfect for a pint.

Proper English pub on a quiet lane. Had a pint and read my book for an hour. Just the right relaxed vibe for that. Staff were friendly without being over the top.

Hina was great. Really attentive, remembered our drinks, and had a lovely way about her. Made the whole evening feel a bit more relaxed. Service like that is a nice touch.

Pav and the team were so welcoming. They actually knew the menu inside out, which was a nice surprise. Made the whole thing feel really easy and relaxed.

Perfect for a quick lunch. The cod was fresh, chips nice and thick. Got my order in under 5 minutes, which is exactly what I needed. A reliable spot for fish and chips when you&#39;re in a hurry.

Got in super late after the ferry. They were still open, which was a lifesaver. The chicken shashlik was really tender, and the naan was fresh. Beers were properly cold. Solid spot for a late meal.

Ivana was lovely, really made us feel welcome. The service was a bit slow at times, but it was a nice evening overall.

They were very careful with my nut allergy, double-checking the menu and the kitchen. It&#39;s a relief to eat out without worrying. The food was decent, though the wait was a bit long.

Decent pub for a quick catch-up. Drinks are reasonably priced, staff are efficient. Good spot near the station.

Joseph was so lovely and attentive, really made the evening. The food was spot-on, too. Just a really nice vibe all round.

Lovely garden for the kids to run around. The mushroom dishes are really good and not too pricey. A nice, relaxed place for a family meal.

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

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.

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.

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.

The midweek set menu is such a steal. Five courses for under &pound;20? The flavours in the little amuse-bouche alone felt thoughtful. A quiet, lovely surprise on a random Tuesday.

The steak was spot on, cooked exactly as I like it. Also tried their cheese and chorizo croquettes special - really good, proper hearty stuff. Just what you want from a pub.

The playlist was a nice surprise, really good tunes. Food was solid. Just wish the tables weren&#39;t so sticky, felt like they needed a proper wipe-down.

Love this little family-run pub. It&#39;s got that proper local feel, you know? Spotlessly clean, well looked after. Just a really relaxed place to unwind. The vibe is spot on.

The allergen folder made ordering so easy, and our server double-checked everything for me. Really appreciated that.

Impressive space. The ox tongue starter and lamb shank were solid, went well with their chilli sauce.

Popped in for lunch on a rainy afternoon. The cold mezze platter was spot on, and they had a decent house red that paired nicely with it. Kids&#39; meals were a hit too. Staff were friendly and quick, which was appreciated.

As a coeliac, I&#39;ve ordered here several times. The gluten-free options are clearly marked and the kitchen seems to handle it properly&mdash;no issues. Food is consistently good. Appreciate the straightforward approach.

Been here a few times now. Food&#39;s always solid. The homemade pasta is the move. Good portions, fair price. That&#39;s it.

I had a lovely breakfast here, and the service from Lesley was exceptional&mdash;she was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better.

The staff were so nice. David, Toby, and Jo were really on it, checking in without being pushy. David even did a few card tricks for our table, which was a fun touch. Made the whole dinner feel a bit more relaxed.
