this pub has sadly gone downhill.New owners have managed to loose the music license and the beer has got so bad we wont drink there any more.I hear Scottish and Newcastle are putting in a new manager,lets see if it improves.

Used to class The Jenny as my local, but has gone down hill lately. You could always get a decent pint, quick hot and good quality food from friendly staff. But unfortunatly has become a bit grubby, the atmosphere has changed, and the standard of food has dropped. Staff could do with cheering up aswell. I do hope they can pull things round because it could be a nice pub again.

Not sure if you guys have the same pub here.
The Jenny Lind is a wonderfully warm place. The food might take a while but it is well worth the wait, I had the Fish Pie.
When I was there it was the Jack in the Green festival and the ales were Best, Directors, Bombardier and a Guest ale.
I heartily recommend this place and a welcome stop as you trundle on up to the FILO.

My favourite pub, although my friends won't let me go any more! They have (quite loud) live music some nights, but the atmosphere is different from other pubs in Hastings. You don't always worry that a fight is going to break out for a start...

Large wood panelled front bar with a more intimate, yet still wood panelled, backroom. Good value food from cheesey chips to Sunday lunch with a good range of veggie options. Safe atmosphere with mainly Hasting locals rather than the tourists in the sea front bars. More character inside than appears from the outside. Casks are: Best, Directors, Hen, Bombardier and Guest.

As it says in the disclaimer, you can't take reviews too seriously on a public forum, when you don't know who has an axe to grind from behind their user name...
For what it's worth, I went here for Sunday lunch to spend my holidaymaker pound, and was perfectly happy with the Bombardier and my Sunday lunch. And perhaps I'm not discriminating enough but it looked clean enough to me!

I have had a meal at this place as well and it was rubbish, I cant comment on the kitchens but I am always suspicious when someone registers on this site to comment on just one pub, maybe an interested party?

I have had a meal and a drink at this pub and found it perfectly acceptable. I have aslo seen the kitchens when looking to book a function in the fuction room. They are modern well appointed and clean.
|
I found this pub depressing and dreary, it lacks identity and my meal was distinctly poor, I will pass by next time.

I can't see why "Going here is a must" it's ok in a plastic sort of way and the food isn't terrible but like most of the old town it is aimed at taking the holidaymakers pounds. It always has new owners and hasn't been really good since it was "The Penny Farthing" many years ago.

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere . It also serves the best beer in the town. Going here is a must
|
This pub has just been taken over and refurbished very well. It has a great atmosphere and the roast meals on a sunday are very good value. More of a sunday pub than a saturday night pub.
|
one of the best pubs in hastings old town.good food,good beer reasonable price too.live music on friday nights,nice terrace garden at rear....give it a go
|
Very welcoming staff and excellent food , even on a Sunday evening .Ample portions and a delicious home made caramelised cheese cake .Reasonable prices too, including a choice of portion size for the roast.Even the smaller size was generous .We will be visiting this pub next time we are in Hastings.
