I can't recommend this place highly enough! The fish was perfectly cooked – golden and crispy on the outside, yet flaky and tender within. I chose the cod, and it was a wonderful portion size. The chips were equally impressive, fluffy on the inside with a satisfying crunch. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, making it a great spot for family dinners. I did find the seating a bit cramped during peak times, but it’s well worth it for the fantastic food. Overall, a delightful experience that I will definitely be returning to soon!

Last week, I had the pleasure of dining at this lovely fish and chips restaurant, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. As soon as I walked in, the inviting aroma of frying fish hit me, and I knew I was in for a treat. The menu offered a great variety of options, including some lesser-known fish choices, which was a nice surprise. I opted for the traditional haddock and chips, and it was absolutely divine! The batter was light and crispy, and the fish was cooked to perfection. The chips were fluffy and seasoned just right, complementing the fish beautifully. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that I had everything I needed. One small suggestion for improvement would be to have a few more vegetarian options on the menu, as I often dine with friends who don’t eat fish. However, this is a minor detail in an otherwise fantastic meal. If you find yourself in Hastings, do not miss out on this gem – I will certainly be back soon!

What a fantastic find! I stumbled upon this charming fish and chips place while exploring Hastings, and I’m so glad I did. The atmosphere was cosy, with a hint of seaside nostalgia that made it feel special. I ordered the special of the day, which was a battered plaice. It was beautifully cooked, with the batter being light yet crispy, and the fish was incredibly fresh. The chips were also noteworthy – golden and fluffy, definitely some of the best I've had. I appreciated the friendly service; the staff took the time to chat and made me feel at home. My only minor critique would be the portion sizes – while generous, I would have loved just a little more of those delicious chips! Nonetheless, this place is a must-visit for anyone who loves a good fish supper. I can’t wait to return and try more from their menu!
