Webbe’s Rock-a-Nore is one of the best restaurants I've dined at in England. The freshness of the fish and the quality of service are exceptional. Despite being a two-hour drive from London, it's worth the trip just to eat there. Be sure to make a reservation before you go..

The food was delicious, except for the leg of lamb, the service was very good. The food was very quickly served, as I thought the main dish would take some time especially the leg of lamb, next time will ask the main to be served after we finish our starter.

Absolutely lovely experience in here. The food was amazing, the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was really nice. Really good value for money, I was surprised. Definitely go here again if I go back to Hastings.

Sorry I didn’t get an outside picture. Rock-a-nore street in Hastings is where the fishing fleet is drawn up onto the beach. It is the UK’s largest beach based fishing fleet, and on the road, the expected collection of purveyors of fish. This restaurant appears at the higher end of the market, though prices remain competitive across the board. They were doing Lobster on the special menu and it looked to be exceptionally good value. I had Lemon Sole but most of my companions had the obligatory Cod and chips. The Lemon Sole was delightfully delicate. The maitre d was also a kindly person and very good humoured Nice atmosphere and recommended for a fishy experience

Visited in July 2023. We came to Hastings for a long weekend and we were craving some of the famous seafood that’s on offer in the town. Webbe’s offer a great selection of dishes in a warm, welcoming environment. We didn’t have a booking but they kindly made space for us. The service was friendly and patient. We sat right the kitchen, so we could see the action - which was exciting. We had a selection of Tasters, which was value for money, plus additional items. Everything was delicious, fresh and hot. It is worth booking during the high season. Highly recommended right bang in the middle of a bustling spot on the sea front.

I had a lovely birthday meal with my wife a couple of weeks ago. We appeared to be surrounded by others celebrating birthdays so it is obviously the place to go, and deservedly so! The food was lovely, service was attentive and friendly, I do like it when a waiter is chatty but not intrusive, it's a fine balance. Wine was good, and sensibly priced. It was a lovely evening out and will definitely be returning.

Great find. Visited on recommendation. As a fish/seafood lover, the choice was excellent. Went with the seafood linguine, which was gorgeous. You can just tell the fish is just so fresh, and there was plenty of it. All your favourites for the dessert selection. It was very busy for a Thursday evening, which says something. Friendly and quick service.

First and foremost, the service in this place is impeccable, made me and my partner feel like the most important people in the world. And the food matched the service, 10 out of 10 amazing, refined and delicious whilst still being brilliantly Brittish. We sat in there allafternoon enjoying the amazing food/service/vibe watching the cold n windy seascape and beach front, a very memorable meal. Highly recommend
