Fish & Seafood Restaurants in Hastings

1. The Crown Hastings British, Modern restaurant in Hastings 64 - 66 All Saints Street - TN34

In the Old Town, near the seafront – “a short walk from the Hastings Contemporary gallery” – this “absolute favourite pub” is “a community hub that’s a true asset to the area”. “Not only is it the ultimate pub, with its vibe, location, and friendliness” but “the food’s a cut above your normal pub grub” and “they always have a banging range of ales on draft, interesting cans in the fridge, and fun soft drinks too”. “The atmosphere is lovely with all the local art on the walls”. Top Menu Tip – “Aubergine curry with spicy garnishes was flavourful; ciabatta fish goujon sandwich with wedge chips is if anything too generous!”

2. Webbe’s Rock-a-Nore Fish & seafood restaurant in Hastings 1 Rock-a-Nore Road - TN34

“There’s no better place to enjoy wonderful English fish ’n’ chips”, say devotees of this outfit “in the historic area close to the fishing boat beach and famous net huts”, from wild food expert Paul Webbe, praised for its “superb cuts of fish fried in a crisp, non-greasy batter that seals in the succulent flesh”. (“If you’re dining on the outside tables you need to keep guard against the thieving seagulls…”). If you want to perfect your own skills, the venue also hosts a fish cookery school.

3. Webbe’s at The Fish Cafe Fish & seafood restaurant in Rye 17 Tower Street - TN31

“Consistently good fish at fair prices” wins very high popularity in our annual diners’ poll for this “somewhat cavernous” venue (with a cookery school upstairs) from chef Paul Webbe, who has championed Sussex produce for more than 25 years; “loved the amazing six-course menu during the Scallop Festival week”.

4. Galleria Fish & seafood restaurant in St-Leonards-on-Sea 39 Norman Road - TN38

2023 Review: No feedback as yet on this August 2020 arrival in this ever-more fashionable seaside town, but it’s a July 2022 tip from Giles Coren writing in The Times and awarding it 23/30. “I probably shouldn’t have been as surprised as I was by the low, low prices on the menu” achieved with “unfashionable fish – mussels, sea trout, plaice, mackerel – and plenty of pasta.”
