The General Havelock

Head down Havelock Road and you've found yourself in one of Hastings' most unpretentious neighbourhood pubs. The General Havelock doesn't do Instagram moments or craft cocktails—it does what it does well: reliable beer, decent home-cooked food, and a bar where regulars actually know each other's names. You'll notice the place has character without trying too hard, with the kind of worn-in comfort that comes from being a proper community local. It's the pub you'd genuinely want on your street.
