Events at this location

The Dolphin Inn is a beloved, traditional family-run pub nestled in the heart of Hastings Old Town, just a stone’s throw from the iconic fishing net huts and the seafront. With a long history and strong ties to the local fishing community, the pub offers a cosy, character-filled interior and an inviting outdoor seating area where you can enjoy views of the harbour scene. It’s especially known for its excellent selection of real ales and craft beers, many recognised in the Good Beer Guide, and hearty British pub fare including classic fish and chips sourced from the local catch. Regular theme nights, weekly live music on Friday and Saturday evenings, quiz nights and community events give the Dolphin Inn a lively, welcoming atmosphere that draws both locals and visitors alike — perfect for a relaxed lunch, an early evening pint, or a social night out in Hastings. Chefs Jackie and Graham look forward to your visit down the Dolphin to try some of their amazing home cooked dishes. Please see the menu and why not visit the Facebook page to see daily specials.
