Anchor Inn

Walk into the Anchor and you'll clock what makes it tick straightaway—this is a proper neighbourhood pub, the kind where regulars have their spots and the staff know what you're drinking before you order. It's tucked away on George Street in the heart of Hastings town centre, close enough to the seafront that you could wander down after a pint if you fancied it. The vibe is unfussy and welcoming; the sort of place where you can nurse a drink alone or get properly stuck into a conversation with whoever's next to you at the bar.
