"The staff at this cafe are friendly, the atmosphere is clean, and the ice cream is delicious. It's a great spot to stop for a refreshing treat, especially on a hot summer day. We stopped by in the late afternoon after a walk along the promenade. Emily, our server, was upbeat and friendly, and we enjoyed our ice cream while watching people play crazy golf outside the cafe window. The venue is welcoming and child-friendly, and they offer a wide variety of ice cream flavors. We highly recommend trying the Turkish delight flavor. The prices for all refreshments are very reasonable. Overall, a great experience."

"At first we were impressed by the low prices compared to other places on King 's Road. The ambience is nice and the cakes look tasty! We ordered a cheese onion toastie and a hummus, Halloumi and carrot wrap to take away. We were told the wait would be 10 minutes as there were a couple of orders before ours. 30 minutes later and our food had still not materialised! I understand that it was busy, but the two members of staff behind the counter didn 't seem to have a rush bone in their bodies. The girl making the sandwiches even stopped to have a chat with some customers while everybody was waiting for their food. My biggest gripe however, was when I took a bite into my wrap and realised that they 'd put grilled vegetables instead of carrot (I 'd overheard earlier that they 'ran out of carrot ' but they didn 't consult me about it). I am allergic to aubergine, which is in the grilled vegetables. Granted I didn 't disclose that when I gave the order, but only because I 'd intentionally chosen a wrap that didn 't contain grilled vegetables. I don 't know whether it was an honest mistake, or whether they substituted the carrots without consulting me. If I hadn 't been in my car driving away I would have gone back and found out. In the end the whole thing went in the bin. All in all I think this business needs to take a look at its food practices. I also saw staff touching their hair and then food without washing their hands. I work in catering and this is a big no no."

"We stayed for 2 nights at this hotel. The Staff were very friendly and helpful. The meals were all fine and well presented although the evening menu was a bit limited with no specials . We had dinner there for both nights. Breakfast was very good and the price for a cooked breakfast included toast, tea/coffee. Hotel guests get a 20% discount on breakfast prices if they add it to their room. We opted for a sea view room which was on the 3rd floor unfortunately, the windows were not that large. The room was of reasonable size with a nice bathroom. The hotel has a nice veranda at the front with outside tables/chairs looking across the road to the sea and pier. The hotel does suffer some noise from the main road outside. It is not far from the centre of Hastings. Overall we were very pleased with our stay at the White Rock Hotel and it was excellent value for what we paid. Certainly, would definitely go back there again on our next visit to Hastings"

"As a former manager of Peking Garden and a frequent diner at Double Dragon, I can confidently say that the dining experience was exceptional. The food was well-flavored and beautifully presented, with each dish perfectly cooked and melting in my mouth. While there was a minor issue with the service being a bit slow and some miscommunication, overall it was a great experience and a lovely evening."

"I recently discovered a hidden gem in this restaurant. The staff and owners were incredibly friendly and provided a welcoming atmosphere. The food was not only delicious but also reasonably priced. The female owner did a fantastic job pairing the dishes with the perfect wine, and they also had a great selection of beers. On Thursday evenings, they host a fantastic jazz club with talented musicians and special guest artists. Plus, the chairs were super comfortable. Overall, a wonderful experience!"

"This is the 2nd time I have visited The Duke and the experience this time was not as good. Unfortunately, the waiting staff seemed very disorganised and were not very attentive when taking the order. The cutlery, serviettes were not brought out all at once but they kept coming backwards and forwards. One of the party had the gnocchi and when the waiter asked if we wanted anything else, ie, sauces, etc, they requested some parmesan cheese. The waiter returned to say that we could have parmesan but there would be an extra charge of £1 ! I have never in all the times I have visited restaurants have been asked to pay extra for parmesan cheese. We then asked to speak to the manager, who came over and said she would have to speak to the chef as she was a temporary manager. I am not sure what that had to do with making a decision on whether or not we had to pay for the parmesan. I pointed out that a member of the party was having the fish chips but had requested at the time of ordering that they did not want the mushy peas or tartare sauce. We would certainly not have expected to receive a reduction in the price ! The temporary manager then said she did not want to argue about it so would bring a portion of parmesan for no extra cost. I was a bit annoyed as there should have not been any argument at all as surely a small grating of parmesan should be free anyway, or the price incorporated in the cost of the meal !"

"I stopped off here the other day with my eldest daughter for a coffee. The atmosphere upstairs was great, the waitress was well mannered and happy. However, in the shop downstairs the woman in charge was watching everyone as if they were potential shop lifters! She was rude to shoppers, stalking them so closely that many people left because she was THAT CLOSE to them. Shopping or browsing downstairs is an awful experience. Memo to the owner; Get new staff who do not intimidate customers or stalk their every move. The displays are scary looking, I myself had to be careful of my every move in case I knocked something off the edge of the displays. But honestly, please have a word with your rude staff, she's very off putting and if it weren't for her I would SHOP IN YOUR STORE WEEKLY. I present I shop there once a year due to that woman! Whoever that woman is, she's losing your store business."

"My girlfriend and I were looking for a place for breakfast. We had walked by this place the day before and when walking to the seafront went past it again. We were hungry so decided to try it out. Good god the big breakfast bap was unbelievable. A warm french baguette filled to the brim with perfectly cooked bacon, beautiful sausages, and a generous portion of two simply lovely, creamy eggs. The glacier cherry on top? The unexpected offering of gorgeous fried onions as well a plethora of sauces to satisfy anyone. You know when the kitchen is a 2x2 meter square, you are in for a treat, and this certainly was no exception. The staff were friendly and polite as well. Take a bow!"
"we found this little caffe while on the way to our holiday destination for the weekend. the food was delicious and large portions for the prices absolutely brilliant. the traffic was a nightmare so that the herr (because he was the cook) took the time to write various directions to our destination so that we did not have to put in the traffic again. the female waitress was both very friendly and easy to talk. if we are back on this wise, we will definitely eat again for more delicious. Thank you."

"It is a great place to stop, sit in the sun on your walk, and have a coffee or a cold drink. There is a limited array of pastries available, however, we chose a Brownie which was excellent t with our coffee."

"Hidden down a side street, you probably wouldn't even know it was there unless you passed it or found it on Google maps like I did. It's a small bar/restaurant that also has accommodation. It has a quite traditional rustic interior with polished wooden floors...and big old oak tables the name didn't really seem to fit what you find inside at all actually. From the photos on the walls the building has historic originals as a pub and hotel, so they should probably embrace that as it would be a better fit. We had several drink and food and were mostly quite impressed. My wife had the Vegan tagine, which she absolutely loved, I had the Rib Eye steak, which was perfectly cooked and my son had a pizza, which wasn't on the evening menu (just the lunch menu) so it was really good of them to do that for him. The service was fast, attentive and the food came quite quickly. There were a couple of down points that knock down the rating a star. Firstly my Portobello mushroom was almost completely raw and totally inedible, must have just been flashed in a pan for seconds. Secondly, the drinks were very expensive at nearly a pint and over for a soft drink."

"The food was just okay. I enjoyed the salt and pepper chicken, but I ordered the crispy chili beef and it tasted like overcooked, crunchy king prawns! It seemed like it had been fried with shrimp or something, which was disappointing since now I can only eat the sauce with my rice. I probably won't order from here again, especially since the last chicken dish I got tasted boiled and was really bland. Service: Delivery."

"I was here with a friend on Friday night for dinner. fatima and their employees gave excellent customer service, very attentive and friendly, spend time chatting with us and falling over themselves to ensure that we were comfortable and that we would be happy. with the food. my friend and I could not decide completely about appetizers so fatima made us a beautiful plate of a selection of appetizers, the miniature versions of one of the main courses (filo baked with cheese so delicious there were wee leaves filled with rice, sweetsamosas, bon mix and salat underneath. image included! the plate was beautifully presented and we didn't have to wait long until it arrives. I ordered an sage and mincetee that was served in a Moroccan style silver teekanne with a handle. the aesthetic in general, at fatima is rich and authentic, and the basement section feels especially as if in morrocco itself. long couches, many kisses, pictures of morrocco on the wall. it is a visual treatment and very comfortable. dogs are also allowed in the restaurant, which is beautiful. the place has a warm feeling, because of the welcome and receiving nature of fatima and their personal. for my main course I have the carrot and chickpea tagine (also pictured) that was delicious. it was suitable thick enough in consistency, and the aromen worked so well together. it was served in a ton bowl as you can see, add to total experience. we had puddings, but they were eaten before I had the chance to look at the photography! rose flavored cookies created a light, airy and fragrant experience that I had not experienced before and the baklava was a dream! after that I had a coffee that was presented as well as the rest of the meal. I cannot blame fatimas and their beautiful selection of authentic Moroccan foods. I was amazed at how fast she was in the position to cook the food we had and I am very pleased to visit again to try other parts of the menu! highly recommended if she dine after an authentic experience and really delicious and creatiw presented and are Pattiserie items!"

"Disappointed. My usual Chinese is closed so we ordered from here as they take payment online. Chicken balls worst I’ve had. The chicken had funny smell (not off but cheap processed smell) and was tough to chew. The prawn crackers tasted days old. The chow mein and special rice were very nice. It was hot but I suspect the chicken balls may be reheated to be that tough. Ordered 2 portions of chicken balls between 3 of us and they mostly went in the bin. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30"

"Unfortunately, I don’t often write reviews, but my experience at Farmyard left such a strong impression on me that I felt compelled to share how much I enjoyed dining there. The restaurant has a casual yet cozy atmosphere, while still maintaining a refined feel. My partner and I initially intended to just have a light dinner and share a bottle of wine, but the food was so incredible that we ended up ordering more. The menu featured seasonal English dishes made with many local ingredients, but with a delightful Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influence that made everything taste amazing. The service was also excellent—relaxed, attentive, and warm. Bravo! We will definitely be coming back."

"I am continuously impressed by this restaurant. It has everything you could want in the morning: excellent flat white coffee, a relaxed atmosphere, and friendly staff. I tried the Korean hash and it completely exceeded my expectations. The perfect level of spice, delicious sauce, and tender beef that fell apart easily, all complemented by the onions. It was possibly the best breakfast I've ever had. My wife had the full English breakfast, with homemade hash browns that were crispy and light, flavorful farmyard sausage, sweet cherry tomatoes, and thick crispy bacon. I highly recommend this place, it's just what the doctor ordered!"

"Coast restaurant hosted my husband's birthday lunch and we cannot thank them enough. From the friendly advice during the planning stage, through to the event on the day, no detail was too much for the team. The eclectic atmosphere created by stylish decor and beautiful...lighting far exceeds any expectation on a College restaurant but actually raises the bar high for any restaurant anywhere. The food was delicious with all the guests commenting that they were delighted with their choice and every dietary requirement was catered for with a great option. The team in the kitchen produced consistently high quality across each and every course with presentation kept to very professional standards. The front of house team were excellent and attentive whilst being friendly and helpful to the guests of all ages. In short if you haven't tried it do you won't be disappointed and you will be back very soon ..."

"First time I’ve looked on trip advisor for Peking Garden, am very surprised at the negative reviews. Me and my family have got take away from here since moving to Hastings from London over 8 years ago. Always happy with our orders, very tasty and never greasy. Salt n pepper ribs, phoenix prawns, won ton soup and chair Sui rice to name a few are the best take away Chinese we’ve had. They work ****** hard, it’s authentic and the service/ delivery is excellent."

"We have been frequenting this charming cafe for the past year, and even relied on their takeout meals during the lockdown. We were thrilled when we found out they were open for lunch this Saturday, so we ordered our favorite 'Sunshine Schnitzels' with roast potatoes, which were as tasty as ever. Just as we were about to leave, it started raining, so we decided to stay for dessert. The brandy banana caramel waffle was outstanding, with a generous splash of brandy, and my partner enjoyed the honey pancakes. In a time where many restaurants are closing or require advanced reservations, it was refreshing to be warmly welcomed with no fuss. The menu offers plenty of choices at very reasonable prices, making it easy to indulge in dessert. We will definitely be visiting this hidden gem more often, as it truly deserves our patronage. Plus, we can't wait to try the homemade coffee cake next time!"
