A late lunch in what is probably Hastings’ loveliest pub. Really good food too. There was also a Pig & Porter beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three Legs - Black Pale | 4.30 | | A smooth Old Ale. |
| Holler (formerly Holler Boys) - Um-Bunko | 4.20 | | As drunk in the Congo presumably. Cloudy gold and extra fruity. |
| Romney Marsh - Golden Ale | 3.90 | Not Tried |

Brief Sunday lunchtime visit – very busy, very nice.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three Legs - Amber | 4.80 | | Amber in colour. A bit too much at the toffee-malt end of the beer spectrum for me. |
| Bedlam - Golden Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Three Legs - Legless | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Hop Fuzz - Best Bitter | 4.10 | Not Tried |

I liked this pub back in its Harvey’s days and am even more impressed by the latest revamp. Others are clearly impressed too as it was standing room only when I visited shortly after noon on a Sunday. I have mislaid details of all the beers available on this visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three Legs - Legless | 4.00 | | Golden/amber in colour, this is a very tasty wheat beer, heavily hopped with US Vic Secret hops. I liked it a lot. |
| Three Legs - Dark | 4.50 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Hastings, East Sussex, TN34 3BN.
In All Saints Street in the Old Town area, there was a Crown Inn in Hastings by Tudor times and it was established on the present site by the eighteenth century. Downgraded from an inn to merely a pub by the 1890s, it was rebuilt in its present (smaller) style in the 1920s. For many years a Watney's house, then briefly a Harveys tied house in the late twentieth century, it has now been relaunched as an independent pub, featuring locally sourced food and drink.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 14 different beers and tried 6 of them.
