The Crown Hastings

"After a bustling day for Jack in the green, it was a lovely contrast to have a dinner at the Crown. The spring menu offered a tasty range of dishes, simple ingredients treated with respect. Calamari, pardon peppers, pollock and mackerel used creatively. Wine by the glass offered a good range and keg beers too. Staff are friendly, informative and hard working. An enjoyable evening in a very pleasant environment. "

"The experience at The Crown is always excellent; the team is welcoming, bright and very efficient; the pub itself is a delight in which the eat and drink; and the menu is thoughtfully created and very accomplished. Seasonal, local produce is always at the heart of the menu, which caters equally well for vegans, vegetarians and carnivore like me: I find it hard not to order the smoked bacon chop, eggs and chips every time I eat here ... the wine list is also well thought through and offers a good mix of wines, both traditional and natural. And, the beer selection is constantly changing with a real focus on smaller breweries from this part of the World. If you're planning a trip to Hastings and St Leonards you should certainly visit The Crown - but best to book as it can get busy."

"Delicious imaginative dishes using local produce on a short, varied menu, wide range of local beverages too, including Sussex wines, great atmosphere - friendly and all inclusive. Even if going in for a drink/meal/coffee by myself as a single female, I feel like it's being welcomed into a big family. Great community feel and generosity of spirit."

"I LOVE this pub. I'm a vegetarian and it's really hard to find good vegetarian pub food at a reasonable price. The Crown have amazing veggie food, really inventive and flavourful. I've been to many a pub in my time and have never had food like it. The service is also always impeccible, I've never had to wait long for food or drink, everyone is always friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Beautiful interiors, great location. My favourite place <3"

"Superb Pub with great food and fantastic service. Can’t fault this place at all, a true highlight in Hastings"

"This is a very well run pub with real attention to detail. This comes through in everything from the way you're greeted to the cooking and plating of the food, the excellent beer selection to the seating and decor. It really would be hard to find somewhere more comfortable, welcoming and well loved. We're very big fans."

"An absolutely beautiful pub with friendly welcoming staff, warm fires, great wine and hearty food. I have always felt welcome even with young children. One of my favourite places to go by the sea its always a special treat."

"All time south coast favourite. Brilliant chilled vibe, terrific food, cracking drinks line up with amazing craft beers and AF options. Also do great things with local community. Everything a modern pub should be."
