Always my favourite in George St.

The owners are arrogant, threatening and don't know the meaning of customer service. The barmaid spends her time outside smoking so the bar is unattended.

Visited September 2011 Evening
Hastings' equivalant of a student bar it felt like, we only had shorts but enjoyed sitting out the front. Lively enough, hassle free if a too much box like to make staying inside worth while. 5/10

There are worse places to waste a few hours in Hastings.

Tired pub, very tired beer
|
Nice quiet little boozer, no kids (which is always a bonus in seaside pubs or just pubs in general), polite enough bar staff, though did seem a bit snobby. Overall a decent place though. The dogs in the beer garden were awfully sweeeaooo, far too cuwit :)

Purpledragonfly posted a nasty review of the Jenny Lind, I want people to read my view of her pub, as I beleive she is the landlady.
Purpledragonfly - I got physically thrown out of the Hastings Arms because my 2 year old daughter got a stroppy on. I don't know of a more family unfriendly pub in Hastings other than the Arms. We were in there at 2pm when we were chucked out, the barmaid even tried to refuse to let my wife in to pick up the buggy.
This happened in Aug 2009, so if the managers have changed since then I apologise.

Bit of an update on the previous posts, now 2009.
I think the milk coloured fox has moved on *shame* she was a dish.
The food and the ale are always sound and worth a weekend pub lunch if you are suffering from chish and fips overload.
It is a great place with a roaring fire and usually a couple of minxes serving quality (S. Neame) ales.
(Yes Andy Bell was in there when I was in there).
Ale well kept 9 out of 10
Food, 9 out of 10 (always good and sometimes willing to take late orders 1503 on a Sunday).

Yes Zagreb is right - the bar staff do fancy themselves! Beer OK staff cocky at times, not a bad pub otherwise.
|
This is an o.k. pub now and a refreshing antidote to the awfulness that is the Dragon bar opposite, (although it appears at times to be the annex).
If you are a 16 year old indie type trying to be acheingly hip, then go to the Dragon wearing an arsey hat and 'mingle'... PUKE.
|
Not too bad a pub, althought the barstaff fancy themselves too much, yes you are pretty. Stop wearing too short a dress if you are paler than milk
|
Nice little pub, but the staff are always trolleyed. You can always somehow get a seat though, no matter how crowded it is.
|
I've no idea why it isn't as popular as The Anchor. Maybe because it hasn't got any ghosts.
|
Sadly the food has gone downhill a bit, and the music on Mondays isn't as good either.
Nice people running the place, but lacking a bit of experience on the creative thinking front.

Cosy friendly pub. Went to eat in March 2004, lovely fish dish. Have now moved to Hastings, been a few times, always friendly and helpful.
