    The Crown is one of my favourite places to take visitors to Hastings. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Food is always great. And it’s a lovely little pub setting in Hastings old town.

    The Crown for us is pretty much a perfect pub. Wonderful cozy atmosphere, stylish decor, welcoming staff, outstanding food and reasonable prices. What more can you want from a pub? All the staff were very helpful, the noise levels were just perfect for a buzzy atmosphere. The beers were local and well chosen and were a great accomplishment the excellent, well crafted and very tasty food. Even the loos were stylish! I’m not sure I have been in a pub that has got everything so right ever before and we shall certainly come back to Hastings if only to while away a few hours here.

    Bearing in mind I personally give fives for completely unmatched experiences (so a four overall is excellent and very, very good). Pigs in blankets with the venison was a particular highlight!

    The meal was lovely; I’m not sure there was another dish I would have wanted so maybe the menu was a bit limited for me, but there were interesting options for fish and vegetarian choices and knowing the food is sustainable and locally sourced is always good. I’m guessing the menu changes regularly. The wine was very appealing. The service was excellent, informal and friendly. I’d definitely eat there again.
