Great café, very popular with bikers, on the A20 between Ashford and Hythe. Perfect for us, as a nice ride from base, and well suited as a stop off for breakfast on our way to lunch at the wonderful St. Margarets bay ! (see below)
Bay Spice is a wonderful restaurant serving the finest Indian cuisine. Situated along Hasting’s seafront, just along from the White Rock Theatre and Pier, it offers beautiful views out to sea. Thursday and Sunday special 4 course deal for £14.95 is an absolute must, and very popular. Red rose for each lady, each and every time, is a nice touch
Fagins Diner, The Old Town, Hastings
Cracking little restaurant in the heart of the Old Town, serving a wide variety of tasty dishes, something to suit everyone, and in most relaxed surroundings, with exemplary service. Recommended
Steeped in history, The Old Town in Hastings is an absolute joy, with pubs, restaurants and bars aplenty, and some of the best fish and chips to be found.
The local fisherman are a nice bunch and sell their daily catch, fresh off the boats, from their huts at Rock-a-Nore, with Webbes Restaurant serving the finest freshly prepared seafood dishes. Jellied eels, cockles and whelks easily found also.
In centuries past, smugglers abounded here, and the little alleyways, and architecture make it easy to imagine that you have stepped in to a different era.
The locals remain a superstitious lot, and most proud of this area’s historical significance, with some wonderful festivals and carnivals held annually, including Jack in the Green which is an incredible spectacle, bringing the whole town to life. Not to be missed.
Fabulous headland walks and views too
Wonderful biking event held on May Bank Holiday, whereupon 1000s of bikers head to Hastings from all directions, and culminating in a truly spectacular gathering of motorcyclists and their machines. It’s got to be seen to be believed.
Original event started 38 years ago, and traditionally it was London based bikers heading down to the seaside for a day out. The earliest runs involved a mass meeting of bikers at Locksbottom in Kent, and then riding in formation down to Hastings.
The tradition holds fast and there remains a significant number of bikers meeting at Locksbottom early in the morning, and riding the A21 route, but now with crowds lining the pavements and much cheering, waving and hooting going on all around.
Once at the seafront, there is live music, trade stands and British Superbike Racing displayed on the large screens.
The event coincides with the culmination of the 3 day Jack in the Green festival, and celebrations continue well in to the night. A fabulous day for the town
Fabulous American style diner on the A21 approaching Battle and Hastings, themed on the famous Route 66, and very popular with motorcyclists. Menu is extensive, and the food superbly cooked. If you like ‘bikes and jukeboxes, then you’ll like it here
St. Margaret’s at Cliffe and St. Margaret’s Bay
Beautiful views from St. Margaret’s bay across the English Channel to France, ensure this remains a very popular destination for daytrippers. holidaymakers and motorcyclists alike. Decent café, and pub, provide refreshments, with further pubs and restaurants in the heart of the village. Fascinating place to watch the maritime traffic in and out of Dover if that’s your thing !
