Beach Retreat Fish And Chips - Hastings

Fantastic, I’d walked past this shack a few times and every time I walked past I said they smell so good. The look of the shack is not somewhere I think would serve quality fish and chips, I wouldn’t normally stop somewhere like this,just reminds me of a fair ground stall, how wrong was I. Went back later in the day, served by extra polite staff, ordered 2x fish and chips 2x cod bites and chips mushy peas and a saveloy for the 7 year old saveloy critic. Was given a pager and told would be 10minutes, pager buzzed and we went to collect, everything we had was fresh and cooked to perfection the fish batter was so crispy, the fish was lily white, everyone tucked in and said how good it was We even passed on the recommendation to a family we met at the crazy golf! Keep doing what your doing and we will be sure to visit when we are back in Hastings

On a visit to Hastings we wanted to have the typical norm, Fish Chips. We went to the Beach Retreat as its close by the beach and sea. Trip advisor rated it highly but ours wasn't. It was awful. We went to the beach to eat ours but it was that bad I would have been ashamed to give it to the gulls. The mushy peas tasted dreadful, old and stale and the fish was VERY, Very small and so over cooked it was rock hard. The chips were passable but so under seasoned. I wont be going back. My advise is to go somewhere else even if it costs a little more.

A friendly place for fish and chips. The portions of chips maybe a little small but the fish is a good size and ten pounds is a very reasonable price. The outside tables are clean and the staff are always outside sweeping up. Its always busy but worth the short wait for the food

Came here again for food before seafront holiday activities. We had fish and chips last time but had breakfasts today. The food and service was excellent and great value too. Highly recommend…perfect!

Long queue (as everywhere due to May Day Bank Holiday) but efficient service and worth waiting for. Delighted that the chips are fried in beef dripping and that they do gravy. Made this Northerner very happy. Best chips in Hastings (I didn't have fish this time) and possibly south of Birmingham!
