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.

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.

Overeall a very good experience and we enjoyed our meals. Three of us ordered the hamburger with all the trimmings. Great presentation and all good except the beef was 'compressed'. Being used to 'old-fashioned burgers the texture is completely different. For this reason only my rating downgraded. Other than than, cannot fault the experience.

We had a booth which made the experience private and very enjoyable. The staff were friendly and helpful. And the food was delicious and plentiful. You won’t go home hungry!

Unfortunately not the old style English pub roast dinner with a crackling fire that we had hoped for, We were seated in an area out the back - far from the fire - and the food was very mediocre. Sorry to say this. The staff we lovely though!

The main and dessert was just warm and not hot. The waitress and landlord were very friendly. Nice friendly pub with a lovely open fire.
