Harden's survey result
Summary
“Located in the historic fishing area of Hastings’ Old Town”, from which it sources its eco-friendly catch (the focus of the menu, which is split between à la carte options and the short, sampler-style ‘taster menu’), this venture (est. 2009) is part of an empire begun by wild food guru Paul Webbe with The Wild Mushroom in 1998. Added to the victuals, friendly staff and a good atmosphere make it a consistent scorer across the board and if you want to earn your supper, their fish cookery school also lets you visit the market opposite the restaurant and learn how to prepare it.
Summary
East Sussex luminary (and foraging pioneer) Paul Webbe’s Old Town venture (est. 2009) offers “a good selection of mainly seafood to reflect its position on the seafront (but also meat and veggie dishes for those who need them)”. “Friendly service and a reasonable atmosphere” contribute to its continuing success.
Summary
“You can see where your food comes from through the restaurant windows” at Paul Webbe’s seafood spot by the traditional fishing harbour. His team are “extremely knowledgeable and passionate about local fish and fisheries” – and that enthusiasm is passed on to guests. A prominent East Sussex chef, Paul has two other restaurants and a cookery school in the area.
Summary
A “good range of fish dishes and cockles too!” – prominent East Sussex chef Paul Webbe’s Old Town venue, opposite Hastings Contemporary art gallery, wins solid ratings across the board.
For 34 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).
