Sturdee On The Rocks — Restaurant in Hastings

Firstly, although not a glowing review, I was really touched by the service by one of the chaps there. All problems were dealt with quickly. They were obviously very busy and so the experience was not great. A shame because we were there celebrating and it kinda took the shine off the morning actually. We ordered, our drinks came, we were informed that there's quite a wait for the food because they were busy. I enquired how long, not at all to rush them, but anyone with small-ish kids will know that when you're already pushing your luck for brunch, EVERY SECOND COUNTS. Not to be served more quickly but so we could manage our time and the kids expectations. The lovely chap said he'd try to get the kids meals out first. This resulted in one incorrect meal, and one that was not cooked properly and the sauce wasn't on the side as I'd asked. So sadly that had to be sent back as my son wouldn't touch any of it. My husband ate all of his and my daughter ate a lot of her full English. My chicken hash was a little lack lustre, eggs not really cooked very much, the potatoes were hard, the onion almost raw too. I don't think it was pulled chicken, more like little chunks of chicken. I ate as much as I could because not only were the kids a time bomb having waited so long and we only had a few hours in Hastings before we had to leave. We were compensated for the my son's meal in the bill. I felt awful for being that person of the day sending something back already that I just ate mine. Sadly we won't get that time back or that celebration (hopefully anyways, 10 year wedding anniversary) and I could have done without the glare from the gal serving at the end. I'd go back, probably without the kids, for drinks as the inside is achingly cool (try explaining to an 8 year old why she can't repeat half the stuff written in the loo!) and the colour on the outside is totally dreamy. Gorgeous view of the beach and people watching to be had. I wish them heaps of luck, as I think it's a fledgling bar/cafe and hopefully no bad blood as I'd definitely like...

Sturdee on the Rocks is a charming restaurant located on Hastings Sea Front. Today, I had the pleasure of dining there for Mother's Day, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. The highlight of the meal was the roast dinner. It was cooked to perfection and came with all the trimmings, including crispy roast potatoes, succulent meat, and a selection of fresh vegetables. The portion size was generous, and the flavours were exceptional. But what really made the meal stand out was the complimentary bunch of flowers that the restaurant gave me. It was a lovely gesture and showed that they truly care about their customers. The atmosphere of Sturdee on the Rocks was also wonderful. The restaurant had a cozy and welcoming ambiance, with friendly staff and a beautiful sea view. It was the perfect setting for a special occasion like Mother's Day. I highly recommend Sturdee on the Rocks to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience in Hastings. The food was excellent, the service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was superb. I will definitely be returning in the...

We booked Sturdee on the rocks for a leaving meal for one of our best friends moving to Australia. The owner Matt was very accommodating, allowed us to have the table early in order for us to decorate prior to our friend arriving. The restaurant itself is lovely, it has a really nice vibe and it’s clean! The chef was wonderful, a chef of many talents! She took our order and was so accommodating for everyone’s needs and catered too all allergies and veggies. She even customised a dish for me with me simply telling her what my food preferences were and honestly it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a really long time and worth every penny. The cocktails were delicious, they offer 2 for £15. Service was great and overall we had a really good time and I would highly recommend Sturdee on the rocks to anyone looking for good food and good drinks. Thanks to Matt and his team...
