Foodies are invited to sample a host of Palestinian vegetarian dishes on Saturday 26 November at a one-off event hosted by local Palestine solidarity groups. Chair of Hastings and Rye Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, Katy Colley writes.
Kino-Teatr has hosted a changing cast of restaurant foods from Mediterranean to Japanese; its latest incarnation being Parlour Brasserie. St Leonards is now quite a food destination with Parlour slipping quietly into the multi-cuisine restaurant scene, joining Heist, Three Faces of Parc, Graze and Marina Fountain. HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths went to meet Claire Rooney, Parlour’s Proprietor and chef.
HOT’s Erica Smith discovers the secrets of using hedgerow herbs, fruit, seeds and flowers to make wild cocktails and delicious foraged food with Sarah Watson from Wild Feast.
HOT’s Erica Smith re-visited The Yard (aka Britannia Enterprise Centre in Waterworks Road) and checked out the latest arrival – the new Hastings town centre branch of Half Man Half Burger!
Is this the second or the third lockdown? HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths has lost count – and at times lost her way entirely. Luckily some good Hastings and St Leonards people haven’t and are keeping us cheerful with takeaway food treats. HOT covered this topic in the last lockdown, so these are a few that are either late additions or that we overlooked previously – apologies for that.
This second Lockdown, rather than met with despair, seems to have been greeted with a shrug of the shoulders and resignation. However, creativity has flourished and restaurants, cafes and bars that have been forced to close are doing what they do and offering sustenance to the locals by way of takeaways. HOT’s Lauris Morgan-Griffiths sampled some of the goodies on offer.
New ideas are needed as we slowly work our way out of Covid. Local design consultant Ken Davis thinks the beer bike, a concept already put into practice on the Continent, could be adapted to Hastings requirements with positive effects.
