<title>Hogan Sampling, The Jolly Fisherman, Hastings, East Sussex</title>
<description>Visited by Hogan Sampling on the 11 Jul 2026. 7th visit of the outing: A return visit to the Jolly Fisherman as those on the coach party were picking their coach up opposite on the seafront. I managed to get there before it got really busy with the party assembling in here. The same beers on as in earlier in the day but now a different barman for this early evening visit and with prompt service due to my careful timing to get here ahead of some thirty in total who were then on their coach to London after their own visit here. Good banter with a chap from New Cross on the coach outing but not the one referenced to who used to work at Pearce Signs in that locality making Toby Ale hanging signs. They all seemed to manage to squeeze in for a last one. After my visit here, it was back to the same café but this time for their plaice and chips and a mug of tea before my slow saunter back to the station with my four-legged companion with the waggy tail.</description>

<title>Hogan Sampling, Jenny Lind, Hastings, East Sussex</title>
<description>Visited by Hogan Sampling on the 11 Jul 2026. 6th visit of the outing: I think my first ever visit to The Jenny Lind and a gem of an old unspoilt pub with original bar counter, bar-back and fireplace to the righthand side as you come in from the High Street in Hastings’ Old Town. Six real ales on, on our late afternoon visit and a traditional ale was my choice. Prompt, friendly service. I was able to catch up with a few more familiar faces from the London coach outing here. A rear garden I also ventured into and reached by first climbing the pub’s internal stairs to the first floor at the rear of the premises such is the extreme hilliness of the area.</description>

<title>Hogan Sampling, First In Last Out, Hastings, East Sussex</title>
<description>Visited by Hogan Sampling on the 11 Jul 2026. 5th visit of the outing: Busy for our late-afternoon arrival at this sprawling old pub in the Old Town's High Street and which brews its own beers from a microbrewery just up the road from it. Many from the London coach party in situ and others who appeared to be locals in, including a chap who told me he used to work at Pearce Signs, the oldest and one of the largest sign makers in the UK, in New Cross, London. This came about as there was an old photograph hanging up where he and his mates were sitting of the FILO (First In Last Out) pub and taken when it had a Toby Ale hanging sign outside of it, and which this chap used to make at Pearce Signs he told me. The sign maker was commissioned by Charrington’s Brewery to manufacture three-dimensional Toby Ale hanging pub signs at their extensive factory and drawing office on New Cross Road in London. The sign became a staple fixture outside hundreds of British pubs during the mid-to-late 20th century. 6 real ales on with 5 the pub’s "homebrews" to choose from. Speedy, friendly service. Sat with the original two from London I had met earlier after a little wander about the place to admire mainly the old pictures adorning the walls. It became a licensed beer-dispensing premises in 1896 and was built as far back as the 1500s. Its name, First In Last Out, reflects being on the old horse-drawn coaching route between Hastings and London and where it was the first hostelry travellers encountered when arriving in the town, and the last one they passed when leaving. The pub gained independence in 1976 following decades under brewery chains. In 1985 it made history by installing milk pasteurising tanks in the back to brew its own beer, bringing brewing back to Hastings for the first time in over 50 years. In 1988 the Bigg family purchased the pub and rebranded the on-site brewing as the FILO Brewery and the family still runs the pub and brewing on this visit in July 2026.</description>

<title>Hogan Sampling, The Stag Inn, Hastings, East Sussex</title>
<description>Visited by Hogan Sampling on the 11 Jul 2026. 4th visit of the outing: Not for those who find seven, no less, steep steps to climb to get into the place a challenge. There appears to be no disabled access into this Shepherd Neame House in Hastings’ Old Town’s All Saints’ Street as built long before such considerations came about. Its rear expansive garden is also steep with steps up to a series of seating levels. I sat out in the garden on its furthest and highest level for a while to enjoy my half as the party I arrived with preferred to sit in the somewhat narrow compact inside. I timed it well to meet back inside before the next pub on their list in the Old Town. Prompt, attentive service on arrival mid-afternoon.</description>

<title>Hogan Sampling, Cinque Ports Arms, Hastings, East Sussex</title>
<description>Visited by Hogan Sampling on the 11 Jul 2026. 3rd visit of the outing: This Harvey’s House also in All Saints’ Street is very ancient and retaining its old bar counter and bar-back and panelling. A gem of an old place and where my small party of the two Londoners were able to meet up with fellow Londoners on the coach party. Seating to be had in this long narrow pub with the bar stretching most of the left-hand side as you come in. Prompt, friendly service for our mid-afternoon visit and two Harvey’s on alongside a London Pride. I tried the Harvey’s pale as I had not had it before or for a very long time.</description>

<title>Hogan Sampling, The Crown, Hastings, East Sussex</title>
<description>Visited by Hogan Sampling on the 11 Jul 2026. 2nd visit of the outing: Busy for my mid-afternoon arrival and having met up with some Londoners on a day’s coach party outing. Seating to be had and two real ales on in this corner street old-fashioned pub in Hasting’s Old Town in All Saints’ Street. Prompt friendly service and a pew to be had not far from the bar to chat to the two fellow Londoners I knew would be visiting.</description>

<title>Hogan Sampling, The Jolly Fisherman, Hastings, East Sussex</title>
<description>Visited by Hogan Sampling on the 11 Jul 2026. 1st visit of the outing: The size of a micropub and which it is now classed as and situated in the Old Town of Hastings overlooking the seafront, a warm welcome from the barman on this, my first ever visit as I recall and 3 real ales on, a mild, a bitter and a pale. Church pew-like bench seating and a high table to one side of the bar and adorned with framed old photographs of fishermen with their nets, bringing in their catch. A mix of wooden panelling and bare brick looking very much the part. This 18th-century building constructed in 1769 lends itself very well to this current micropub venture which started in 2016. It originally stood right on the quayside before the seafront road was put in place. The premises were first licensed as a public house in 1834 under its first landlord. By the 1840s, the landlord leased a section of the stone beach opposite, called the Stade, to run a traditional rope and net shop for fishing customers. In 1954, the adjacent London Trader beer house successfully had its full pub licence transferred from the Jolly Fisherman to themselves but it stayed open for five more years as the headquarters for the famous Hastings Winkle Club before finally closing its doors as a pub in 1959. For 57 years it was repurposed for various commercial uses, including a second-hand antique shop in the 1980s, a tea room, a bed &amp; breakfast, and a pie-and-mash shop. On this first visit of the day for me someone came in seeking pie and mash and were disappointed. But I was not in the least disappointed as a couple of wonderful halves followed a café breakfast overlooking the old fishermen’s huts. It was quiet for my early afternoon arrival with just one or two others in. It would not take many to fill the place. Nicely restored with a predominantly olde worlde wooden look about the place.</description>

<title>Magnus Greel, The Crown, Rye, East Sussex</title>
<description>Visited by Magnus Greel on the 13 Jul 2026. Very quiet late afternoon just a couple of others in. My first, and last, visit to this pub, pity as the jovial friendly barmaid was great fun and kept all topped up. The free pool table was the main attraction as it certainly wasn't the beer with one cask ale on which I didn't bother with and opted for the 'on offer' JC's Hawkstone lager @ £2 a bottle.</description>

<title>Hogan Sampling, The River Ale House, East Greenwich, Greater London</title>
<description>Visited by Hogan Sampling on the 11 Jul 2026. Arriving in time for what would have been just half an hour of serving remaining turned into an endurance test after returning from a pleasant but long day in many of Hastings’ Old Town’s great pubs. Serving carried on until about half past mid-night to reflect the World Cup’s England v Norway game’s extra time. I was surprised by the low footfall of regulars in among a sprinkling of the more occasional. A trio of some of the absent Saturday regulars were back after about nearly a month’s absence as part of the regulars. The only new beer on appeared to be Vibrant Forest’s Pupa which is hazy and rather fruity with citrus and ripe tropical fruits. The bitter was still on from Tuesday but given the chiller was not working in the cold room from last Sunday until about the end of this week, this also was not going to be entertained by me. The low footfall perhaps reflecting the beers being on for some time and without the chiller for nearly a week to help their longevity and also the World Cup football has no doubt not helped.</description>

<description>Visited by Andrew on the 11 Jul 2026. Silver Star was on. Not my Goachers of choice, but Goachers none the less. Weren't many in as most people I guess were at home waiting for the England-Norway game to start.</description>

Just a couple of diners finishing off a late lunch and a few folk in The Old Gits Corner! Friendly and welcoming as always and we opted for a selection to share from the good value and tempting bar snacks menu, the interior was remarkably cool so we chose to dine in. Noisy pub dog announced our arrival and took a while to shut up despite threats of incarceration from the landlord .</description>
