I was in there last night 30/5/09 and it was OK for a given value of OK. A small pub of the type which would have been one man and his dog a few years ago. Shepherd Neame is not my tipple, a view shared by many people and yet Hastings Old Town seems to have so many. Spitfire was served ice cold which was a definite black mark against them and a summer ale was a little too warm just to rub it in. It would not be a first choice for me for a beer, although if you like naval memorabilia then it could be nice for a couple. Local seem to leave around the time the band came on, but in a pub that size the practical result was that people had trouble reaching the bar.

With a Shepherd Neame pub you usually know what you're getting before you walk through the door.
This place is typical Shepherd Neame. Not bad, buy any means, but nothing special. A typical Shepherd Neame pub in a town full of the things.

If you think the Falklands War was a load of Thatcherite propoganda then avaoid this place, it is a shrine to the armed forces. badges, photos of ships, and flags make it. If it ever burnt down it would go in 10mins given the dryness. Beer is awful

I love this place, one of the few that has not been buggered up or turned into a bistro by the 'down from London' crew.
Be afraid though.... they are working their 'magic' all the way down George street at the moment and this place could be invaded by leatherette sofas and ambient muzak in the not too distant.
I am not a great fan of Shepherd Neame beer on the whole, but have never had a bad one here.

As a 'foreigner' from Hampshire, I had an impromtu 1-day, mid-week crawl around the town and this was the only pub I returned to; fantastic military/naval stuff all over the place and a friendly reception. Beer was good too if Shepherd Neame is to your taste. What I saw of the food wasn't appetising but it isn't an eatery by any stretch of the imagination. Small & cosy - probably gets packed on summer weekends!
