The Prince Albert

The Prince Albert in Hastings is a cosy backstreet pub with proper character and a welcoming feel, great for a relaxed drink or an easy meal stop. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle. The pub serves vegan food alongside changing cask ales and craft beers.

Opening Monday to Friday from 4pm and weekends from midday, the pub works well for wet-weather refuge or a simple pint with paws in tow. The vegan menu includes burgers, Greek souvlaki and Sunday roasts, and the atmosphere stays relaxed whether you're here for the food, the beer selection or the regular live music.

Expect your dog to charm strangers into becoming part-time fans. It's the kind of place where leads, locals and a bit of hopeful nose-work all feel perfectly at home, with dog treats usually available at the bar.
