   This was our first visit and it didn’t disappoint. The tapas was excellent great choices all amazing. Wine and drinks choices brilliant. The front of house guy was professional welcoming and knowledgable he made our experience. A rare find! We will be back.

   Absolutely outstanding meal in every way. Fabulous location; a quick stroll through the Hastings Contemporary art gallery brings you to the restaurant with wonderful views of the fishing boats and the sea. The food was beautifully presented, and delicious. Interesting and clever menu to suit all dietary requirements, which also reflects the local area. And the service was absolutely on point; calm, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable staff. All in all a terrific treat and a great place to take visitors to Hastings, as Coquina cannot fail to impress! Loved it.

   Beautiful food by the BAYTE peeps. Nice to have something in Hastings and it’s a great setting, especially on a sunny day!

   Great to have a high quality restaurant with such lovely views Maybe lower the lighting a bit to create a more intimate ambiance ?

   I can’t fault Coquina at all! The food by Chef Will Hopson and his team was just perfection! freshest of ingredients exciting taste combinations beautifully presented each dish a gastronomic treat! If I could I would have worked my way through the whole menu! Can’t wait to return! Superb location great buzz/vibe not forgetting ace front of house service, such a joy!’

   Interesting and innovative food in a great location. It’s new and there’s a vibe that they’re still working things out in terms of service and organisation, but everything was mostly smooth.

   About the only spot to take advantage of the full and glorious sea views over Hastings beach, with absolutely stunning Mediterranean plates. We slightly over-ordered to taste as much as possible (and took some home in a doggie bag), but the citrus and salt cod salad, the roasted broccoli, pumpkin with dukkah and the chips with aioli/bravas sauce were all fabulous. Ditto sourdough bread and pickles. Good shortish wine list with everything available by the glass, and excellent service. At LAST this gallery has the fabulous restaurant it deserves, and anyone can go there without having to pay the gallery fee. Bravo!

   Such a lovely spot overlooking the fishing boats and sea. We went for Sunday lunch and had excellent plates of food, the roast lamb and pork belly. Absolutely delicious. The desserts were gorgeous too.

    We were treated to a lovely late Sunday lunch on the terrace which gets lots of sunlight & a beautiful sea view. Started with the panelle with pickled chillies which was really quite special and generously sized, followed by freekeh labneh (with delicious Urfa smoked butter), squid rice with apple & fennel (unmissable I’d say) and a beautiful morcilla dish. Perfect for adventurous eaters & you get a lot of bang for your buck. The rolled pork loin roast was one of the best versions of a Sunday roast I’ve had, with plenty of crackling & paired really nicely with the Catalonian orange wine. Non-drinkers should try the homemade lemonade (perfect in the heat) or blood orange soda. We tried all the deserts (lemon sorbet, basque cheesecake, polenta cake) and would highly recommend any of them. The service is getting there, to be expected on an opening weekend, but overall we were really well looked after and left throughly satisfied. Will certainly be coming back to try the rest of the menu.
