From top seafood to salt beef bagels: Where to eat in St Leonards and Hastings
Higgledy-piggledy Hastings, with one foot in 1066, and its seaside sibling St Leonards, purpose built in the 1800s by James and Decimus Burton as a genteel seaside resort, are two adjacent towns on the south-east coast that share more than just a few miles of seafront. They have a relaxed, easy-going outlook that is attracting newcomers thanks to their rich culture, art and food scene.
