Sussex Exchange in Hastings

We came for afternoon tea for a birthday and it was absolutely fantastic. The food was very filling and the atmosphere was delightful - pretty in pink and florals.Teas available were breakfast, Earl, Peppermint, 2 selections of fruit teas and coffees. Staff were helpful and gracious.The premises also has a cinema, meeting rooms and a delightful piano as you walk in!Will definitely be visiting again!

An Instagrammers paradise. Whoever designed this place definitely took a lot of pride in their work, the whole place is a work of art. Worth visiting just for that.Cocktails are certainly a highlight as each one I tried was delicious. My personal favourite was the Monte Carlo. My girlfriend had a huge strawberry daiquiri.The food was great too, I had chorizo bruschetta. Just enough to whet my appetite. The chorizo had lots of flavour and the bread was toasted perfectly.I had the dirty burger for main, and onion rings for a side. Didn't expect it to be so big as I couldn't finish it all. The burger was very juicy and the meat was peppery, probably in part because of the cheese.The Sussex Exchange is definitely aimed more at women, the ratio was probably around 10 women for every man.There is a club area downstairs but they only have select cocktails and not the full selection like in the dining area.

Had heard really mixed reviews but my experience was great! Kim was looking after us and she was lovely and really attentive! Food was lush and HUGE portions, cocktails were so nice and a nice selection and the atmosphere was good too, will definitely go back! (Shout out also the the guy on the bar 05/02 and the young girl who was with him, we didn’t catch their names)

Food was amazing! We enjoyed our starters: calamari and Thai prawns. Highly recommend. For mains, my husband thoroughly enjoyed the beef skort rib and I had the lamb shank, which I would definitely order again. The onion rings were prime too.The cocktails were fantastic!Not only is the food and drink fantastic but our server Leah was attentive and friendly. She made sure our drinks were full, and preemptively brought out sauces and napkins. Thanks Leah for your attention to detail.I recommend The Sussex Exchange for all occasions: birthday meal, girls cocktail night, brunch, work lunch with a client, date night, or a family meal. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent afternoon tea. Huge scones which were delicious and we had leftovers to take away. Service was quick and friendly. It was our first time there and will definitely be recommending to friends. The couple next to us had the roast dinner and that looked plentiful and smelled lovely.We went downstairs to the cinema afterwards and that was an equally great experience.

Absolutely amazing place, staff are friendly and service is quick. Location is easy to get to and there is parking on site. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with every fine detail thought of. Definitely will be recommending this place to everyone and will visit again.

Had the 8oz fillet steak with truffle mash. Beautiful. The staff were lovely, smiley and very helpful especially our table server Lizzie. Great lunch out had by all

Great visit. Took my daughter for a dad daughter date. Food was brilliant. Didn't have everything on the menu but lizzie our waitress was brilliant and got the chef to alter one of the dishes to fit with my daughters choice. Would recommend as a nice evening out.

Great place for a date night. Really friendly staff and a great environment. The cocktails are amazing and it was nice being able to listne to music sitting next to the fire pit. The music isn't to loud outside which means you can have a conversation without having to shout. Definatly 5 star

Such a beautiful venue with all the lighting and they even have a beautiful cinema.Staff are really friendly, our waitress was Lauren, such a lovely woman and service!It was mine and my boyfriends 3 year anniversary and they unexpectedly bought out a cheesecake with a sparkler on top and on the plate it said happy anniversary in chocolate writing, which made my night!!Food was delicious especially the lobster and salad. Cocktails were amazing! There attention to detail is really there.Really impressed cannot fault the Sussex Exchange at all.Thank you for making my night special.
