First In Last Out - Hastings

This is the best winter pub I have ever been to. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is homely and the food is amazing. The main draw of this pub is the awesome open fire at the centre of the bar and is regularly tended to by the pyromaniac bar staff. The overall atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly and I can’t think of a better place to spend a cold winters afternoon. If you haven’t been here, why not !

A family lunch spoiled. Fish and chips was small, wet and undercooked. Batter was awful. Both children left most of theirs. Liver was the opposite, overcooked and tough. Dauphinoise potatoes were a slab of goodness knows what. Long wait for food after order (35 minutes). Average dish price £19. We love puddings but abandoned ship and left very disappointed.

My wife's good friends true locals suggested FILO for our first night's initiation in Hastings. Great choice as FILO is as genuine pub ish as you will find. Jolly atmosphere, blazing wood burning fireplace right in the center of it all, and cold American standards) beer. A experience.

This is a jewel of a pub. Warm and welcoming. Very friendly bar staff. Lovely cental open fire place. Even though we didn't eat the food we saw coming from the kitchen looked delicious. Also it's not an expensive place to eat or drink. Can't recommend this place enough.

The food at FILO is excellent and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the staff are friendly and efficient. There are other restaurants in Hastings with fancier reputations (and prices! but for us, FILO is THE go-to place to eat.
