The Dandelion Deli

The Dandelion Deli in Hastings is a fresh, colourful deli and café where dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to hover outside while someone else orders. It's an easygoing spot for coffee, lunch and nice little take-home bits, with the kind of relaxed feel that works well when you've got a lead in one hand and a shopping list in the other.

The menu covers sandwiches, salads, coffee and deli treats, plus plenty of tempting things to take home. It's the sort of place that suits a quick refuel or a longer browse, depending on how cooperative your dog is feeling about staying still.

Dogs can supervise all sandwich assembly from a polite lead-length distance, which means everyone stays together and no one has to do the pavement-waiting shuffle. Useful for wet-weather days when indoor options make all the difference.
