We make British food with a classic or modern slant. We source our ingredients from the local fields, woodlands and waters. Everything is cooked on the premises, including the sourdough bread and the icecreams.The Good Food Guide (2023) says: "A fittingly quaint old building, complete with original features, given a suave modern twist via grey panelling and contemporary furniture. Chef-proprietor Martin Peacock has built his menu on classical French traditions and impeccable sourcing and there’s real creativity and originality on show here. The international wine list offers a decent but not overlong selection, with accessible pricing.Vegetarian: we will always offer at least one starter and one main vegetarian choice. However, we cannot cater for vegans.***Please note, due to customer allergies, we cannot allow dogs on the premises.

    A really pleasant surprise to find such a good Italian on Hastings Old Town seafront. We had a fantastic meal in the casual deli-style setting with authentic Italian food and great service, all our dishes were extremely good and would highly recommend.

    Celebrating a family birthday, this turned out to be a perfect destination. From entering and receiving a warm welcome, we were given a seasonal menu and comprehensive wine list. We started with a cocktail, an alcohol free cocktail for the driver of the party, and free amuse-bouche. We ordered starters; wild chanterelle mushrooms on sourdough, a beetroot and goats cheese starter, and a lobster risoni, all delicious. Mains were Dover sole, and two Guinea fowl… perfect. One of the party was gluten free and felt confident and catered for. Can’t recommend it enough.
