Black Market in Hastings

What a revelation this place was! I'd been here before but not for a while and it was pure luck I decided to eat here as we were going to the Italian way. This is far superior, in fact its more on par with either Bella vista or AMA and for those who don't know AMA has a 2 star Michelin chef! The best part.....2 courses for £15! They must be losing money on these dishes as the ingredients are top notch, look at my photos - the sticky toffee pudding came with the kids meal! I'm 45 and it was probably the best pork Belly I've ever eaten. I urge you to go and find out yourself as you won't believe it for the price.

Fantastic steak burger, huge fish and chips & delicious sea bream. Very large inside although looks tiny from the front. Could do with a sign out front advertising seats available as we almost walked past convinced it was full.Friendly staff and warm booth seating with light music

Had the best vegan burger today, absolutely delicious! So nice to have the lentils mostly whole, and the beetroot jam was amazing. I am not vegan, so can’t wait to try the other meals!

Visited this restaurant with my best friend, looking for nice night out in Hastings. Viewed the menu outside and looked very appealing so went inside and waiter was warm and friendly. We were seated and ordered food. I ordered pork belly £16 and my friend ‘local’ haddock and chips. £12. When the food arrived it looked lovely but upon eating, i soon discovered that my pork belly was almost all fat and no meat. I eat this dish often and i know how it should be, this was not acceptable at all. My friends fish was mostly batter and skin, soggy and hardly any meat or flavour. The batter was thick with no flavour whatsoever, just watery and horrible. We deliberated whether to complain as the waiter was so lovely but decided we must as it was so awful. The manager (who we discovered was actually the owner) eventually stomped over and asked us ‘with hands on hips’ what was the problem. After explaining she then excused us of lying and told us shes never had complaints which is as lie as these reviews show. She then stomped back to where she had come, never coming back to explain or offer an outcome or resolution. We then after a good while waiting asked for the bill and thankfully our meals were removed from the bill. We can safely say we will NEVER return to this establishment! Rude rude rude!

Very good haddock and chips. ASA bar, I'd like to revisit when the weather's a bit warmer

Absolutely delicious top notch food. Possibly one of the best meals I've had in Hastings. Goats Cheese Bon Bons, followed by Lentil & Bean Burger and Celebration of Chocolate for dessert (brownies). Washed down with Curious Brew. Great food, great service, great location.

Great food good service very nice location. I stopped here for a quick bite to eat and was able to get dine without making a reservation. The staff were polite friendly and helpful and the menu is good. Lots of choices for all tastes and I had a delicious monkfish scampi and an asparagus starter. The beetroot and goats cheese bonbons also great.Lots of spaces huge dining area and I will definitely return to try a Sunday roast!

We went here for the two course Sunday roast. We chose a starter and dessert to share whilst choosing the Roast Beef and the Lamb.Starter was Monkfish Scampi with a wild garlic mayonnaise, perfectly cooked and very tasty.The mains, well the Lamb was a little fatty and slightly undercooked, whilst the Beef was raw. Shame as the accompliments were so yummy and well presented.The dessert was the Sticky Date Pudding with apple ice cream and salt caramel sauce....WOW. Absolutely divine and the lunch was washed down with a Tempanillo which was perfect as well.They was a Chef down and was told this when we sat down and would presume this was the reason for the undercooked meats, but all in all would have received 5*s otherwise. The staff were friendly and accommodating and also gave a reduction on the cost. Would definitely be going there again.

Lovely air conditioning, very spacious, good coffee, cold beer. No baby change facilities when we went although they do have some plannedFood was hit and miss, halloumi fries were good, prawns were overcooked and a bit chewy. We sent the olives back as they were dry and bland, service was really good, very accommodating and very pleasant.Would probably come back for the comfortable and spacious bar area and the service.

We went for drinks and snacks. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We had the whitebait, halloumi fries and loaded fries. Ell 3 snacks were very tasty.
