Sumisu Ramen, Stooge Coffee, Trinity Street Hastings: review
On May 20, 2025 by The Plate Licked CleanI seem to spend my time in Hastings in little rooms eating lovely things.

On August 21, 2024 by The Plate Licked CleanSometimes, you meet someone who just really loves feeding you. Tonka: on the face of it, a little Hastings seafront cafe. The sort of place you might happen across as you walk the promenade, instantly feeling at home in this little room with its fourteen seats and windows picked out in plum, deep green and
