Mermaid Cafe - Hastings

As part of a local group we’ve used a few Old Town chippy’s for a weekday dinner meet! The last few months it’s always been the Mermaid as they are so welcoming and everything is cooked fresh to order. Portion sizes are good, a variety of meals are available which suits all from delicious sausages, fish cakes, scampi and traditional cod chips to name a few! Pricing is on par to most locally. We have between 7 18 of us when we go and everyone has always enjoyed their meal… thank you Mermaid from the Tuesday night group

Needs better ketchup! That and curry sauce are the two condiments essential to a good supper. Good choice of food. See menu The staff were nice although seems they were a bit bored and grumpy , served quickly and food arrived within 10 minutes. Fish was very good. Batter crispy and light. Bottom of fish a little soggy but was ok. The sausages are really bad quality. Looked like a Richmond sausge pale and tasted horrible. Again the batter was great just couldnt eat it. It's either two small battered pale nasty ones or a large which I havnt tried. Chips were nice but they could be better. Choice of cold drinks over £2 a can. Coffee is decent. Food is a reasonable price. Small space but we were very happy sitting inside. If it was busier I think it would be uncomfortable eith the main seating area having chairs back to back so close. I realise making the best of the space. They do usualy have outside seating. In a great spot by sea front opposite family entertainment. We have been here before and it was much better so I'm not sure what's changed. Shame but I'd return for the fish and id try the larger herby sausage.

The best chip shop I have been too. Brilliant service even through just eat. Always gives plenty of what you ask for. Can’t fault them everyone should definitely visit

My wife and I went for a bite to eat, we both choose the full English breakfast. What can I say, but very disappointed, food was luke warm and undercooked. I will never visit this establishment again

Brilliant loved the food can't review staff as always get food delivered ,prompt service generous portions and always hot.
