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.

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 April 21, 2025 by The Plate Licked CleanOne: ‘Just because’ He hands me a paper cup of shaah cadays as I settle in. I haven’t ordered it- he has brought it ‘just because’- but this Somali spiced tea, chai’s close cousin, sweet and perfumed with cardamom- is just the thing on a dark, mizzly Cardiff evening.

Winifred’s Restaurant and Bar, The Courtyard at Source Park, Hastings: review
On March 30, 2025 by The Plate Licked CleanI wasn’t expecting to be writing about Winifred’s. Not so soon after the popup I enjoyed on its debut weekend last November, anyway: but here we are already, in its new permanent home in White Rock, thanks to the current round of Hastings’ restaurant musical chairs. Wavey Bar, which hosted that Winifred’s popup, has moved
