Bright and airy during the day , at night the restaurant of this traditional Victorian hotel transforms into a cosy setting with the perfect atmosphere for a romantic dinner or a meal amongst friends .
But that ’ s just the setting ! Our head chef uses the freshest local ingredients to produce his modern British and traditional European dishes , and serves up a locally famous carvery each Sunday . We ’ re located just over a mile from Hastings ’ historic old town , with its famous net drying huts and fish mongers , so you ’ re guaranteed the freshest fish dishes , alongside meat from local butchers and wonderful seasonal ingredients – all bought locally wherever possible . A fresh Table d ’ Hôte menu is presented each day , so things never get boring and most dishes can be adapted to suit those with allergies or dietary requirements . We also offer a children ’ s menu for family dining .
Our popular and elegant afternoon tea is served each day in the Piano Lounge , which was used as the setting for the BBC ’ s recent period drama , Mapp & Lucia . With its grand piano , handpainted mural and vast windows looking out to sea , guests are taken back to a by-gone period , but the food and service is modern and friendly . If you ’ re looking for a truly unique venue for a party , wedding , wake or any kind of celebration , the Sea Terrace Restaurant is the perfect location . With the capacity to seat up to 100 people for a sit down meal , a well-stocked bar and luxurious bedrooms to retreat to after a fabulous night of celebrations , we have every base covered . You ’ ll also be in majestic company – the hotel was re-named for Queen Victoria who visited not long after the building ’ s opening in 1828 , along with many famous poets and politicians of the 19th century .
The Sea Terrace Restaurant is open to residents and non-residents so it ’ s best to book to avoid disappointment .
