Hastings Museum contains a rich and exotic mixture of fine paintings and china, the cultures of other lands, well-known personalities such as John Logie Baird and Robert Tressell, and a contrasting view of local wildlife today and as it would have been 150 million years ago.
There are plenty of special features for children, with fossils that transform into dinosaurs, prehistoric crocodiles and fish, a diorama of local animals and birds, Native American Galleries complete with tipi and buffalo, and a display on Hastings born conservationist, Grey Owl.
The most spectacular part of the Museum is the magnificent Durbar Hall constructed for the Indian and Colonial Exhibition of 1886 as part of an Indian Palace. It now contains displays relating to the Indian subcontinent, and to the life of the Brassey family with artefacts collected on their voyages around the world in the 19th century. The Local Studies Room provides access to the Museum's archive and reserve collections, including the Burton Collection, Borough records and title deeds, as well as large collections of photographs, maps and ephemera.

Rock-a-Nore Fisheries: There have been Hastings fishermen and fishmongers in their family since the 1800s, including such evocatively named local legends as Spreader Benton, Hardy Fullager, Dickie Gannon and Lizzie Rich. Their grandma Polly Gannon used to push a fish cart seven miles from Hastings to Bexhill and back again every day before their parents Albert & Lilly set up Rock-a-Nore Fisheries some 30 years ago.
Today, Rock-a-Nore Fisheries is still a family business, and Sonny's brother, sister and aunt all work in the shop - and Albert, now 79, still makes their delicious smoked chilli jelly. Trained as a chef in London's famous Brown's hotel during the war, Albert has always been a great experimenter with food - he invented their secret smoked salmon cure decades ago, and have never changed it since.

The Mermaid Inn, Mermaid Street, Rye Tel: 01797 223065 – Recommended by The Good Pub Guide 2007: “The sign outside this lovely black and white timbered hotel says ‘rebuilt in 1420’, though the cellars are two or three centuries older than that. It’s extremely civilised with prices to match, and the little bar is where those in search of a light lunch and a drink tend to head for: quite a mix of quite closely set furnishings such as Victorian gothic carved oak chairs, older but plainer oak seats, and a massive deeply polished bressumer beam across one wall for the huge inglenook fireplace. Three antique but not ancient wall paintings show old English scenes. Well kept Courage Best and Greene King Old Speckled Hen on handpump, a good wine list, and a short choice of bar food such as sandwiches (from £6), open goats cheese and spinach omelette or moules marinière (£8.50), minute steak with blue cheese salad (£10.50), seafood platter for two (£29), and puddings (£6). The smart (expensive) restaurant is no smoking; piped music (bar only), dominoes and cribbage. Seats on a small back terrace overlook the car park - where there are morris dancers on bank holiday weekends.” www.mermaidinn.com

Landgate Bistro, 5-6 Landgate, Rye Tel: 0871 426 5566 - Recommended by The Mobile Food Guide Report: “http://www.themobilefoodguide.com/select/images11478.phpStanding by one of the ancient fortified gateways leading into the heritage honeypot town of Rye is the long-serving and much admired Landgate Bistro. Over the years, this immensely likeable restaurant has established a reputation for honest, classy food based emphatically around local ingredients. New owners Nilla Westin and head chef Martin Peacock are continuing enthusiastically where their predecessors left off, and procure most of their culinary raw materials from the fields, woodlands and waters of Sussex and neighbouring Kent; local farms provide free-range eggs and dairy products and even the bottled water is from nearby springs. The result is a repertoire of classic and modern British food that could take in turbot and salt cod fishcakes, slow-roast belly of pork and poached lemon sole with white wine and fresh tarragon - not forgetting excellent Romney Marsh lamb. Puddings, ice creams and sorbets are made in-house and there's always a zesty lemon tart and classic trifle on offer.” www.landgatebistro.co.uk

Old Bell, 33 High Street, Rye Tel: 01797 223323 – Recommended by The Good Pub Guide 2007: “Ancient beamed and panelled two-room pub with old prints and photographs, good service, real ales, decent coffee, good value food, no smoking area; small garden with lovely wisteria.”

The Woolpack Inn, Brookland Tel: 01797 344321 – Recommended by the AA Guide. “Smugglers' tales abound at this remote 15th-century inn surrounded by dykes and reed beds: an old spinning wheel, used to divide up smuggling contraband, can still be seen mounted from the ceiling. The place oozes charm and character, with open beams and an inglenook fireplace adding to the atmosphere. Wholesome home-made pub food includes snacks and hearty meals such as whole partridge in a red wine and cream sauce; cod and chips; and home-made chilli. Children's play area. Garden. Dogs welcome. Parking available.

The Curlew: In a previous life, The Curlew Restaurant at Bodiam, East Sussex was a Coaching Inn where travellers rested their weary, moustachioed heads and warmed their spirits while on rain-sodden route from Hastings to London.

But now, Mark and Sara Colley have given The Curlew another life.

Just an errant arrow flight from Hastings, stone skim
from Bodiam Castle, mince from Brighton, manicured lawn from Tunbridge Wells, The Curlew is a place where formal food meets informal dining, where the city and country brush shoulders, style meets stile.

Landgate Bistro, 5-6 Landgate, Rye Tel: 0871 426 5566 - Recommended by The Mobile Food Guide Report: “http://www.themobilefoodguide.com/select/images11478.phpStanding by one of the ancient fortified gateways leading into the heritage honeypot town of Rye is the long-serving and much admired Landgate Bistro. Over the years, this immensely likeable restaurant has established a reputation for honest, classy food based emphatically around local ingredients. New owners Nilla Westin and head chef Martin Peacock are continuing enthusiastically where their predecessors left off, and procure most of their culinary raw materials from the fields, woodlands and waters of Sussex and neighbouring Kent; local farms provide free-range eggs and dairy products and even the bottled water is from nearby springs. The result is a repertoire of classic and modern British food that could take in turbot and salt cod fishcakes, slow-roast belly of pork and poached lemon sole with white wine and fresh tarragon - not forgetting excellent Romney Marsh lamb. Puddings, ice creams and sorbets are made in-house and there's always a zesty lemon tart and classic trifle on offer.” www.landgatebistro.co.uk

The Woolpack Inn, Brookland Tel: 01797 344321 – Recommended by the AA Guide. “Smugglers' tales abound at this remote 15th-century inn surrounded by dykes and reed beds: an old spinning wheel, used to divide up smuggling contraband, can still be seen mounted from the ceiling. The place oozes charm and character, with open beams and an inglenook fireplace adding to the atmosphere. Wholesome home-made pub food includes snacks and hearty meals such as whole partridge in a red wine and cream sauce; cod and chips; and home-made chilli. Children's play area. Garden. Dogs welcome. Parking available.

The Curlew: In a previous life, The Curlew Restaurant at Bodiam, East Sussex was a Coaching Inn where travellers rested their weary, moustachioed heads and warmed their spirits while on rain-sodden route from Hastings to London.

But now, Mark and Sara Colley have given The Curlew another life.

Just an errant arrow flight from Hastings, stone skim
from Bodiam Castle, mince from Brighton, manicured lawn from Tunbridge Wells, The Curlew is a place where formal food meets informal dining, where the city and country brush shoulders, style meets stile.

Modern British dining for the Modern British diner.
