Harden's survey result
Summary
“Some of the best fish’n’chips I’ve tasted” are served in “plentiful portions” at this wooden shack “near the Hastings fishing fleet – that’s why the fish tastes so fresh”. A well-known destination in its third decade, it’s “good value”, too, and “very popular with visitors and locals” – so “avoid the busiest times”.
Summary
This family-run chippy in a wooden shack right on the town’s fishermen’s beach is now in its third decade, and wins plaudits for its “excellent fresh seafood”, straight off the boat. “Friendly staff” and “generous portions” make it a “great location for a family seaside lunch” – although it’s at its “best when not too busy”. “Booking is highly recommended – you may have to wait for a dull midweek in the ‘off’ season to get a walk-in table!”
Summary
“A go-to place for fresh fish” – “right on the beach amongst the fishing boats” in “one of the most attractive parts of the Hastings shoreline” – this weather-beaten wooden shack offers “great value” with its “huge portions”, and is “very popular with both visitors and locals”.
Summary
“Fish straight off the day boats” means this very functional operation can knock out “delicious fish ’n’ chips”. Factor in the “great location” near the harbour, the “catch of the day” specials, the “great value” and “proper mugs of tea” – no wonder “booking is essential” (phone only).
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
