We had an amazing evening at Coquina. The decor, ambience and location are all spot on. And the food was quite spectacular! We especially enjoyed the cured mackerel that tasted exactly like raw tuna, but everything that we ate was delicious and well presented. Very good value aswell considering the quality. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into this place and it’s a great addition to the Hastings food scene!! We’re heading back today for the mackerel sandwiches that they sell for lunch!

The food was basic for such a nice location. It was also over priced and the service was poor. No one asked us is we would like any condiments or how the food was.

The food and service was terrific. Imaginative menu, each dish was interesting and ample. Tapas style, and we over ordered with ten dishes amongst four, but it was worth it to taste all the different dishes. Best tortilla I have ever eaten. The lamb was exceptional , tender and tasty. delicious sardines. It was a rainy night but the seashore views of the fishing boats were lovely. Will definitely return for a summer evening on the balcony.

What a lovely surprise. Our first visit to Coquina and we had a restful, and completely relaxed couple of hours there. The food was delicious. The service and staff were so charming. The location is exceptional; looking out across the dry docked fishing boats and out to sea. Honestly, if you haven't been yet....go! Thank you Coquina 🤩 We'll see you soon.

We had a beautiful time at Coquina - the most delicious food, beautiful interiors and friendly staff ! Truly a new gem in the heart of Hastings Old Town ! Perfect for summer evenings on the terrace or cosy colder nights inside the restaurant with the relaxed music and low lights ! Loved it !

Best view and amazing food. Tapas night on a Thursday evening is my new favourite experience in the Old Town. A range of amazing flavours and dishes - each one exquisite and full of flavour. I can highly recommend and cannot wait to experience this again. Service and ambience perfect too. The view whilst sitting on the balcony is first class.
