Lovely lunch today at Hendy's, in the Old Town, Hastings.

Started with crab paste on toast and
celeriac, tarragon and brown shrimp
- both fresh, simple and delicious.
Followed by mackerel and plaice (in the sun) with a bottle of rose.
Dessert was coconut and strawberry ice. Bliss in the sunshine.

One of the best kept secrets in Hastings
but not many covers so do book.
