Fantastic Sunday roast we had five roasts one veggie two chicken two trios the food was unbelievably good all of us voted 10/10 the staff were spot on

The food was good, but the service was lacking and the prices for food and drinks were high. Thankfully, the great live music added some enjoyment to an otherwise disappointing experience.

My husband I met our friends for a Sunday roast, lovely atmosphere the roast was a 10/10 absolutely gorgeous! Generous portions very, very tasty, we would definitely go back! The wine was very good too! View menu

One of several perfectly adequate wine bar restaurants in Hastings, the food here is perfectly ok, but the manager was extremely unhelpful to me and my two friends. Also the two drinks I’d usually choose on tap both ran out. Overall a negative experience. They do book a load of excellent musicians, though, usually solo or duo — worth checking out.

Gone downhill badly! Went with friends for a Xmas meal. We are all in our 50s and not a drunk group of idiots. So when it came to the bill we soon realised we had been overcharged by £150!!!! It took a lot of questions to staff to get this rectified. Poor service, food ok. After years of going to Porters I have to say I won't bother again. George, you need to sort your staff out!

I had a delightful lunch at Porters. The staff was lovely, and the food was consistently excellent. Both vegans and meat-eaters were satisfied. I only wish we had room for dessert. The house wine was fantastic, although a bit strong for a midday meal. However, the beautiful atmosphere and the opportunity to dine outside, after being indoors for so long, made it a wonderful experience. View menu

After we finished our meal, no one came to clear our table or ask if we wanted dessert or coffee. When we got up to leave, someone finally came to clear the table, but didn't interrupt her conversation with other staff members at the bar. In the past, Porters used to be a popular dining spot with a good atmosphere on weekends. However, the current level of service has greatly declined, negatively impacting the overall atmosphere. It is no surprise that the restaurant is no longer as busy as it once was.

My wife often dines with friends at this restaurant and always praises the food, but I have avoided going because of the limited beer selection. However, we decided to book a table for my birthday and were pleasantly surprised to find a better variety of beers, including some from Longman. I ordered the rump steak cooked on a hot stone, while my wife opted for the sirloin. The quality of the steaks was exceptional for the price, arguably the best I've had in a long time. Although the atmosphere was quiet, the lack of table service for drinks was noticeable and resulted in missed sales opportunities. Despite this, we had a very enjoyable evening and will definitely be returning now that they...

We booked a table over a month ago for Christmas Eve. We were reassured over the phone that we would be on the ground floor. When we arrived (after queuing at the bar for ages) we were directed to a table upstairs that was obviously put in as an afterthought, right on the corner so we were constantly pushed by people going past. It was not reserved, or set up. We could only assume that our table had been given away. We left after one very expensive round of drinks. I have been to Porters many times over the last 20 years and after today will not be returning. It seems the restaurant is going downhill. One of our party said that they’d been let down recently by them and will not be returning... View menu
