About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Great for craft beers
Dog-friendly

The First In Last Out (FILO), is a family run free-house in the Old Town of Hastings. Alongside our award winning beer, we serve quality food prepared from scratch. We offer lunch and dinner everyday, including our ever popular Tapas night (Monday), Indian Thali (Thursday) and Sunday roasts.

The brewery is located just two minutes away from the pub, where we produce five regular ales using a full mash-tun process. We love live music and host regular Sunday evening gigs, of which details can be found on our website.

The pub is popular with locals and tourists alike, who love to get cosy in our booth seating or warm up on cold winters' days around our unique central fireplace.

Dogs and children are most welcome.

This is a regular favourite from the many Hastings Old Town pubs. It is unique in that it has its own brewery, just up the road, producing a selection of fine traditional ales and beers in additional to our regional favourite, Harvey's of Lewes best bitter. Food is varied and always good but I can never resist the salt beef sandwich!

Lovely meal. Options for vegetarian although a V symbol would help the veggie options stand out. But great tasty food at a reasonable price and good service and atmosphere.
