| The Jenny Lind wasn’t on our radar of “to do” pubs for our Hastings mini crawl but a quick glimpse of the 5 hand pumps through the window deemed it worthy of a lucky dip visit. The interior consists of 2 bars, the fairly straight forward main bar at the front and a smaller paneled bar at the rear. The place has a slightly scruffy feel with random furnishings and features that include an old upright piano, open log fire and, for some reason, an American petrol pump. Music flyers and promotional cards are dotted about across the window sills advertising whats on in the pub (live music often a feature) and the town in general. Stairs lead up to a surprisingly attractive split level beer patio with probably the world’s largest pub umbrella. There are views of the cliffs in the distance and I could happily spend a few hours here listening to the seagulls. The aforementioned 5 pumps offered Courage Directors, Deuchers, Doom Bar, Youngs and Old Peculiar which probably as good a range of Ales as you will find in town. Quality was fine and the prices were a bit more reasonable than some of its competitors. For a warm August Saturday night it wasn’t too busy or rowdy and all in all, it was a bit of an unexpected bonus. Certainly a place I would add to my Hastings recommendations.

| Went here on 28th June after finding The Stag empty and unsuitable, the meal here was excellent and the beer was excellent and everyone in the pub seemed to be having a very good time. real_ale_ade - 8 Jul 2009 19:57 |
| The Jenny Lind is somewhere we normally walk straight past on the way to and from the FILO, but today we popped in for a pint. A pint – we could have had half a gallon here. Five hand pumps is more than you'll see in very few places outside London. This is a pub which will certainly be added to the Hastings list for future visits. And it’s got two separate and distinct gents toilets. Two – I counted them. How posh is that? MankyBadger - 26 Feb 2009 20:41 |
| 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. rockface - 24 Sep 2007 12:46 |
| 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. aliwoo - 13 Jun 2007 10:55 |
