They are currently in the Cake Room in Hastings in the evenings. Venue was warm, Welcoming and comfortable. Food was magnificent, as always. Fried chicken was crispy, tasty and just the right amount of spice. Beef curry is the star of the show for me. Earthy, rich depth of flavour. 10/10. Lots of vegetarian options too. Service is wonderful, great knowledge of the dishes available and we always receive a warm welcome. I honestly can’t recommend it enough.
