    We had a lovely birthday lunch, felt very welcome. Noisy building works outside beyond their control.

    The Crown is a 'gastro' pub, but that is not a criticism. Located in a quiet, historic side street in Hastings Old Town, it was one of my favorite pubs many years ago, but has moved with times. The outside (picnic style) seating is great on a warm, sunny day and inside there is a choice of table sizes & styles. I was all set to enjoy a 'no frills' meal but was very pleasantly surprised by the choice and appeal of the menu. The bar has a good choice of local ales and the staff were attentive and pleasant. The food arrived in good time and was very good, in my and my wifes opinion. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and will be returning to explore the menu more.

    Really great food, always lots to choose from and everything we picked was very good. Very relaxed feeling, sat at a high table near the bar which we love but tables outside are super nice too. Just a great place and really good value for money, especially considering the quality of the food. Just a great pub.

    Chilled Sunday evening meal - we couldn’t be bothered to cook! Small menu but a good range to choose from. Staff chilled, helpful and engaging but not in your face. Didn’t want something too heavy or meaty, had the roast tomatoes, polenta, whipped cured & pesto - it was delicious. We eat here often, I prefer it less busy & this evening was perfect for us.

    The crab pasta was overcooked / mushy and incredibly bland and a bit cold. We ordered garlic focaccia bread and received a thick dense brown bread that had garlic butter instead. It was nothing like focaccia. The chips were all bitty and tasteless. The children’s meal was over salted and too much batter for the fish. Really disappointing. Otherwise the pub and service as nice enough but definitely question the food quality based on my lunch today.

    This was a spectacular dinner find! Creative and delicious food and nice sized portions! An adorable and charming restaurant with attentive waitstaff. Would come back in a heartbeat but sadly, only here for a brief time on holiday so had one opportunity. Do give it a try!
