Sturdee On The Rocks

Sturdee On The Rocks in Hastings is a cosy seaside café and bar with proper sea views, serving coffee by day and cocktails later. Dogs are welcome inside, so everyone can settle in together after a beach walk or during one of those dramatic weather moments the coast does so well.

The menu covers breakfast, lunch and drinks, with seating that makes the most of the water views. It's the kind of spot that works for a morning coffee-and-walk combo or a late afternoon drink when you're pretending your life is organised.

Check the best seating for dogs when you arrive, especially if it's busy. The relaxed atmosphere and seafront location make it a practical, warm-weather or wet-weather refuge where paws and people can both take a break.
