Hastings Arms - Menu

Absolutely love their Ruby Tuesday- curry selection is extensive. We had the fish Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan and it was superb. Fantastic flavours, melt in the mouth cod and light and fluffy rice. Papadums were lovely too- no oil dripping of them Also really good value

Fantastic meal last night in a proper pub. Good choice of starters and mains with separate Christmas menu. We'd particularly recommend the squid, tuna and chowder starters, and pie, cajun chicken, masalla and ox cheek mains. Compliments to the chef! Staff very friendly too.

I had a wonderful meal on Saturday night, unfortunately there was a large group that were being extremely rude to the staff, however, the staff dealt with them very well and made sure they didn't affect other diners experiences. The food was fantastic as always and im very grateful that on such a busy night I was able to enjoy my meal.

Just had a wonderful lunch in the Hastings Arms. My partner had Sri Lankan fish curry….flavoursome, lovely portion of cod loin..myself had spanakopita pie with Greek salad..blooming delicious. A wonderful white Rioja was a great accompaniment. Trendy, welcoming, faultless service! Especially Lou behind the bar and Sue and Joe working hard in the kitchen. If you’ve never been, give it a try.

We 'd booked for a birthday celebration of 17 people. Table provided for 15 and when we asked the guy at the bar, he said he would get us 2 more chairs. When we said we wouldn 't fit around an already snug setting, he said well you 'll have to . The lady then came over and started to count us incorrectly and when we said we can count and 2 people were without seats she got rather stroppy. We decided to leave due to the ignorance and attitude. Mistakes happen and it could have been easily rectified by them but they decided to handle it this way instead. They then proceeded to shout after us as we left, Thanks guys! In a very sarcastic way. Shocking hospitality which meant they missed out on a...

The Old Town of Hastings has many interesting eateries, but we were in the mood for a classic Sunday lunch. We walked into the Hastings Arms on spec. It immediately felt like a proper pub, albeit with quirky decoration. We were tempted by the selection of pies on offer and went for those instead of a roast. My steak and Stilton pie was absolutely delicious a proper pie, rather than just a beef stew with a top! Delicious large meltingly soft pieces of beef in a rich sauce and with a delightful crust. Served with creamy mash, vegetables and plenty of gravy. One of the best pies I’ve ever had! Likewise, my girlfriend’s steak and kidney pudding was generously filled and reportedly delicious. Pri...

Went here with friends for a few drinks, all was well till I asked for some water. The bar women was nice enough but the bar man clearly doesn’t know how to do his job professionally. Patronised me to say ‘please’ when all I asked for was ‘just a glass of water if that’s okay’. He then proceeded to mumble something as he walked away. Which apparently was something about me having poor manners which was hilarious as couldn’t be more ironic. Left shortly after as no way was I going to tolerate that. Coincidently saw him out later that night and when he noticed me he couldn’t disappear quick enough, which says it all about the audacity he feels behind the bar he works at. I have noticed a few o...

We arrived in Hastings fairly late in the day and had a walk around the old town for some food, we headed into the Hastings arms and were greeted by very friendly and welcoming staff who helped us and our young child get sat and sorted, We ordered our food and asked for the childs food to come with the starters, Child ordered sausage and chips, we ordered the camembert starter with the Greek pie and Korean chicken burger mains, Starters: The camembert was exactly what you expect however was served with some lovely thick cut toast. Mains The Greek pie was nice and my partner would happily order this again, The Korean chicken burger was delicious, the chicken was battered in what seemed like f...

Well… initially this was a positive visit… a lovely lady served me at the bar as I was waiting for a friend to join me. The food was tapas and I’m vegetarian and was initially pleased with the choice for me…sadly though the meal was spoiled because one of the dishes had to be left untouched. I ordered aubergine which is my absolute favourite … something I eat in restaurants all the time and also cook at home… it was tough as old boots meaning it wasn’t cooked enough and I left literally the whole thing in tact… this in itself wouldn’t have spoiled our visit… I politely told the staff why I had left it … I wasn’t rude at all… I went to pay and as the initial staff member had indicated that th...
