The Anchor Public House - Hastings

The vegan food choice is much better with less junk food and the owner told me there is consequently less waste. I had vegan Banana blossom Fish and Chips, which I am told is their most popular vegan dish. The knives and forks were brought before the meal arrived. Other customers were warned of the waiting time. On a second visit, I had a nice vegan Indian meal. All around, the little Restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, and it does what it does much better now. The same owner as before, when it was called Hempish.

Excited to find a vegan place in Hastings but unfortunately left quite disappointed. Chips were overcooked. Tiny portion of mushy peas with the fish and chips, plus there was a lack of info on the menu regarding what the meat replacements used were. Staff were polite but somewhat inexperienced. Chef lingered around whilst we ate. Hope its better if we go again.

Had a lovely lunch here if topped nachos with chilli and cheese. Food was lovely but service was a little hit and miss. Took a very long time for all the drinks to come with someone in the group having to ask twice for theirs. We were a large group so normally expect a little wait but there was a long gap for the last few. Food was prompt and everyone enjoyed their meals. Updated from previous review on 2022-03-20

I had the vegan macaroni cheese and it was good, although it had grated vegan cheese on the top that wasn't melted so it initially didn't look too appetising (however it was still good). My mum had the spinach and aubergine curry and really enjoyed it! Staff were friendly too.

I didn't try any of the Western-style fastfood there, so my review is only about the Indian one and a cake. Apart from the dosas, they also offer dahl, thali, curry, etc. I tried the masala dosa and it was a pretty good one, I also ate a veggie dosa, it was fine, nothing outstanding. The dosas are not the thin paper one, they are thicker and served with coconut chutney and dahl (which is very good). Nice portions. I also had once a vanilla cheese cake, good one too. On Sunday, they also offer vegan roast Very friendly staff.
