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. There are worse ways to spend your life, I suppose, and here’s the latest: the twice-weekly Sumisu Ramen popup from husband and wife team James and Ai. The town library, the Grade II-listed Brassey Institute, seems to looms over Trinity Street

Lury, Hastings: restaurant review
On May 10, 2025 by The Plate Licked CleanWell, Lury is lovely. I suppose I’ve ruined it now, haven’t I? That’s not how these things are supposed to work.

On February 16, 2025 by The Plate Licked CleanThe sign outside Hastings’ Priory Meadow lists its high-profile residents. M&S, Primark, H and M. Boots, Superdrug, JD Sports: heavyweights of British retail. What’s missing is a flashing neon arrow and three foot high letters pointing to the place which has brought me back twice in two days. Something along the lines of ‘KHALID’S KITCHEN:

Ladle, Hastings: review
On January 18, 2025 by The Plate Licked CleanOld Town’s Ladle feels like a little nook, one of those places you didn’t’t know you needed until you find yourself there. In this tiny room, lights trail and twinkle, and busy George St suddenly seems far away. The antique dealers, the ‘Tabac’-signed cigar merchant, the ancient timber-framed pubs, the chi-chi boutiques. Even the second-hand
