City/town information
Hastings is set between hills that reach to the sea, where the smooth bustle of modern life rubs along with the rough edges of tradition. Look up and you’ll see the ruins of the castle watching over the town, as they have in one guise or another for nearly 1,000 years. Constructed after the world famous for the battle took place on 14 October 1066, that some say changed the future of the modern world. The three-mile seafront stretches from the fishing fleet, largest beach-launched fleet in Europe, at the eastern end through the hustle and bustle of the arcades and funfair rides, to the pier and arriving finally at peaceful Grosvenor Gardens. Making this a great area to explore, Hastings' rich history is on your doorstep and the nearby East Sussex countryside is full of National Trust castles and stately homes to explore.
To travel further afield, a day trip to London via the train is under 2 hours with the trains running every 30 mins from Hastings station.

Neighbourhoods
Slightly bohemian, and incredibly artsy, the old town comes with oodles of quirk. Its muddle of houses, shops and pubs sit tucked between two cliffs a fifteen-minute walk east of Hastings main town. Slightly worn in places, Hastings Old Town has a wealth of character and a welcoming community feel. It’s small enough to explore on foot but there’s enough to keep you busy for a weekend. There is an abundance of seafood stalls selling freshly caught fish, winkles, cockles, shrimp and other locally caught seafood. I always buy a pot of mixed seafood with vinegar to eat while wondering around – delicious! Tip: Guard your seafood carefully. The seagulls have become incredibly canny at whipping them from your hand. They even employ diversion tactics where one gull will distract you whilst the other pinches your pot of prawns.

Established in 2016 by Ned and Charlie after a visit to the U.S. where, they came across brewhouses. It dawned on them that the UK was falling behind in the world of craft beer. They also felt that here in the UK, the art of brewing beer is widely unappreciated, often left to an anonymous character behind closed doors. The Americans celebrate the brewer and marvel at the brewery. This spurred the need for change in Ned and Charlie. So, in August 2016, with the help of Billy they opened the doors to the first of the Brewing Brothers Brewhouses. As well as a fine selection of Ales and IPAs, they also serve pizzas from the wood fired pizza oven.

Ye Olde Pumphouse in George Street, at first glance, appears to be one of the oldest pubs in Hastings. However, as a pub it is less than 70 years old, having opened in 1956. Before the Second World War it was three separate dwellings centred on a well-known boot and shoe shop owned by two brothers, Sidney and William Carey. The Mock Tudor frontage was created by Newman himself incorporating old timbers from bombed High Street properties and, it was claimed, ‘from an old shipwreck’. It then opened as a pub, the Pump Room, in 1956. Nevertheless, the interior is in keeping with a Tudor style making it a must see, if that is your sort of thing. Regarding the food, that depends on the owners of the time, for me it os not renowned for its cuisine, but certainly worth a beer or two.

The pub dates from at least 1798 when it was recorded that William Float of Pett had an inn of that name under the East Cliff. Since then, it has served the fishing community for over two centuries. The building was updated having been rebuilt in 1851 by landlord Edward Ridley and rebuilt and extended again by Watneys in 1930. The Dolphin has a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, it is one of my go-to pubs, especially when the weather is good, as the elevated beer terrace affords you an excellent view of the goings-on of the fish market.
