Sunday lunchtime at the Rock a Nore Kitchen was a joy. We were lucky to walk in and get a table – booking recommended – for an excellent meal on Hastings Old Town seafront.
We shared a white bait starter followed by the special skate wing and a cod Sicilian carbonara. Wonderfully fresh fish, great flavours and all paired with a delicious bottle of Sancere.
Thank you to the wonderful chef owner and kind server for fuelling us up for exploring Hastings.

Outstanding little private restaurant.
Service was impeccable and the chalkboard menu did not disappoint (I’ve every faith it changes with the days catch!).
We had scallops and potted crab to start, rack of lamb and hake for mains and panna cotta and chocolate torte for dessert. Everything was delicious.
Cannot recommend this place enough, but BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL. It’s a very small place (25 covers as far as I could tell) so I can imagine walk ins get lucky very often.
The bill was not cheap, but we were happy to pay for the quality we received. We’ll be back for sure.

We enjoyed a delightful Sunday lunch in mid-December. Indulged in delicious, hassle-free cuisine—each dish and side dish nicely cooked and bursting with flavour. The unassuming fish and chips presented with a plump, flaky fillet of fish that had been swimming in the sea just a few hours earlier.The friendly service added to the overall positive experience. What a gem! We look forward to returning for more culinary delights.

A fantastic experience: great food, very well cooked. We’ll definitely be back and it gets 5* across the board from us. Very unstuffy, lovely clear menu and a fabulous choice of reasonably priced wines, too.

Surprisingly good lunch a huge cut above most fish and chip places in Hastings. Delicious food served quickly and efficiently by friendly, helpful staff. Looking forward to returning very soon.

Great food. We all loved pretty much everything we tried. The smoked seafood platter was a great way to start the meal, the cockles were delicious and I loved my seafood linguine and pannacotta. However we all agreed that the ceviche was way below standard. Several things were wrong with that dish. The fish was too thick, the sauce was too sweet and it was missing the citrusy and spicy flavour that is present in a ceviche. The lack of the leche the tigre unbalanced the dish. It was the only dish we actually did not finish.

Had a lovely meal in a picturesque setting amongst the dark huts in East Hastings. The lemon sole was a particular highlight as well as the perfectly cooked scallops and bold prawn cocktail. Just some classic fish cookery on display although the seabass I had was a touch over.
I deduct a star as the extraction in the restaurant is very poor. The whole restaurant smelt like smoking oil and my hair and clothes reeked after getting home. Quite odd for such a fine looking establishment.

Absolutely first class In all area’s. My wife and I love to seek out interesting and exciting place’s to eat. We love seafood especially when the chef is as talented and passionate as we experienced this afternoon. Large, perfection, scallops beautifully presented and pan fried with care. Main course; seared salmon fillet with seasonal vegetables with a creamy hollandaise sauce. Perfection
We felt full, but then our waitress offered us a selection of delicious desserts..ok one to share. A lovely light Eaton mess to finish us off. We will be back! So worth the trip. (Will need to book in advance for evening meal).

Wonderful fresh fish and seafood deep in the old town of Hastings.
It’s a wonderfully small venue with a lovely laid back vibe.
