The Hastings

The Hastings is a community pub steeped in tradition. Circa 175 years ago it was purpose built as a public house, and has served that function ever since. Whilst we rang the changes with a major refurbishment early in 2015, we were always mindful of the history. Customer feedback confirmed our belief that we have got the balance between the old and new just about right.

As part of our 'new' pub we hired a new Head Chef, and Peter gracefully retired from the kitchen. This has taken our food to another level, warmly received by our customers and in the process turning The Hastings to a destination food pub. We pride ourselves on using fresh and where possible locally sourced ingredients throughout our dishes. Our food is a mix of the traditional British Pub (e.g. steaks, fish, bangers n mash) and more unique dishes (e.g. crab and lobster burger, Spanish star and Old Orleans meat board). And, of course, there is never a frozen chip in sight!. In 2015 we also introduced our Geordie Tappaz menu, that has gained us notoriety across the North East. In many ways it is the perfect reflection of The Hastings - a good honest local pub, serving good honest local food.
