Introduction
Tucked away down one of the many narrow side streets in Hastings Old Town, yet only yards from the seafront, Ye Olde Pump House was, as its name betrays, a former pump house. Built way back in the late 1400s, the building is crisscrossed with old wooden beams, both inside and out, and attracts patrons from all walks of life who soak up the atmosphere. Deep crimson upholstery contrasts with the dark wood in the pub's bar, whilst downstairs there is a wine/coffee bar. Food is simple and sensibly priced, with the emphasis on good quality ingredients.
