Improve This Listing

A late Eighteenth Century traditional pub in Hastings Old Town, sitting between the East Cliff and the Stade shingle beach, home to Britain’s largest beach-launched fishing fleet. It is family run and has very long links to the local fishing community, witness the memorabilia and old photographs that adorn the walls. There is a large veranda, overlooking the famous fishermans' huts and both food and drink can be enjoyed there while watching the various fishing activities. Fish is sourced from the Hastings fishermen and delivered to the pub kitchen, straight from the beach or market.

A quiz is held on Thursdays. 1/3 pint taster paddles are available.

Voted the local CAMRA Branch Community Pub of the Year for 2018 and 2019 and presented with a certificate to mark ten consecutive years appearing in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide; the presentation pictures above show these awards being made.

Although Ore railway station is slightly closer, Hastings station has a better train service and other public transport links and is a level walk, as opposed to a hilly walk to and from Ore.

Information for this venue is provided by the South East Sussex Branch of CAMRA
