| Has to be a stop over for any visit to Hastings Old Town, a pleasant little pub with that Elizabethan wood beam feel. Beer selection was a good mix of bitter and lager and I was surprised to see Hurlimann's on draught. Staff are friendly and even when crowded you seldom have to wait too long to be served, suggesting they know their stuff. Can be crowded at the weekend and while its a quiet venue at the weekend some of the nearby places can be rowdy. wanderjahre - 4 Jun 2008 08:16 |
| The Pump House certainly was not constructed in 1959. English Heritage listed it as a Grade II building in 1951 and they say that it is an early 17th century building. This seems to be Hastings urban legend. When I frequented the pub in the mid 1960s the (then) landlord told me that it was constructed in 1946. According to English Heritage the buiding was substatially restored at some point and maybe that is the source of the myth that it is of modern construction. Do any old Hastonians remember anything more about this? I went back to the 'Pump' a couple of weeks ago. It hadn't changed much in 40 years. The beer was OK though rather expensive. Certainly a lot more than the 1/6d a pint I used to pay all those years ago! oldishboozer - 27 May 2008 15:05 |
| The Old Pump House was always seen as the school’s youth club when I was an inmate at Hastings Grammar School. Thirty years later I suspect little has changed. A mate and I had the Bishop’s Finger which was sour. two others in or party had the Spitfire which wasn’t any better. It’s the sort of place which gives the Shepherd Neame brewery a bad name.

| Nice pub, very quiet when I was in (because it was a Monday) Good pint of Spitfire. Only down here for an interview, which I Got the job, so it looks like I could spend more time here. Just as well it was decent beer. zagreb - 8 Feb 2008 13:01 |
| I feel a bit of an idiot telling my mates about this pub I visited on holiday that was centuries old only to find out it was built in 1959. TSW - 30 Apr 2007 21:02 |
