The Crown Hastings

The Crown Hastings is a welcoming pub and kitchen in the heart of Hastings Old Town where dogs are welcome inside. It's a solid choice for a relaxed drink or meal when you want somewhere central and easy, with the usual good-dog rules in place. The pub is open daily from 11am, with food served 12-4pm and 5-9pm.

The kitchen serves modern British food using locally sourced seasonal ingredients, making it useful for a sit-down with your dog after exploring the town or when the weather turns. Dogs can settle under the table while you eat, though they'll be watching closely for any stray chips. There's no on-site parking, but nearby public car parks serve the Old Town.

Expect your dog to behave impeccably right up until something edible hits the floor. It's the kind of place where paws and people can stay together without fuss, and nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle.
