About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for craft beers
  • Dog-friendly
The First In Last Out (FILO), is a family run free-house in the Old Town of Hastings. Alongside our award winning beer, we serve quality food prepared from scratch. We offer lunch and dinner everyday, including our ever popular Tapas night (Monday), Indian Thali (Thursday) and Sunday roasts.

The brewery is located just two minutes away from the pub, where we produce five regular ales using a full mash-tun process. We love live music and host regular Sunday evening gigs, of which details can be found on our website.

The pub is popular with locals and tourists alike, who love to get cosy in our booth seating or warm up on cold winters' days around our unique central fireplace.

Dogs and children are most welcome.

    Went for liver and bacon but it was curry night! So I had lamb curry. Best curry I’ve ever had. Lamb was so tender. Delicious 🤤

    Excellent roast, great vegan option. Bustling cozy pub atmosphere in the bar area. Awesome service, very friendly and helpful staff.

    This was a lucky find after my mum was desperate for a wee! I’ve returned several times since as was impressed by what I saw. It has never disappointed and I’ve returned with my son, husband and the dog and shall continue to do so. I’m fed up with paying stupid money for nasty food. FIlO has exceptional food and incredibly friendly and welcoming staff with very reasonable prices. Win win 🥇

    This roast currently sits No.1 in the my ‘roasts I’ve eaten out’ ranking. The perfect roast is a roast where you feel your mum/nana would have made it and this hit the mark. Would highly recommend.

    Great menu and delicious food. It has a lovely open fire making it very cosy on cold days. If you want a table I advise booking as it gets very busy.
