Eat @ The Stade

eat @ The Stade in Hastings is the kind of café stop that fits neatly into a proper seaside wander. Set down by The Stade, close to the fishing beach, galleries and old-town pottering, it gives you that easy "coffee, food, sea air, repeat" rhythm that Hastings does so well.

The café is part of the eat @ Hastings family, serving good-quality café food with a relaxed, friendly feel. Open every day from 10am to 4pm (9.30am weekends), it's a handy stop for breakfasts, lunches, coffee breaks and post-walk refuelling, especially if you're exploring the seafront, the Old Town or the working beach with the dog in tow. The kitchen closes 30 minutes before closing time.

Dogs are welcome inside, water is available, and they also sell dog treats and dog ice cream, so the dog doesn't have to sit there pretending a napkin crumb counts as a proper snack. It's a useful all-weather café stop for dog owners in Hastings who want somewhere easy, welcoming and close to the coastal action.
