Cinque Ports Arms, Hastings

Refitted in the 1930's with panelling to picture frame height throughout the pub. Had a small separate snug but is now just one room with original counter but new light wood top, bar back and 1930's brick fireplace under an inglenook. Gents retains its original two massive urinals but is otherwise modernised. Ladies/Disable has a figure '2' on the door. Update 3/09 from Baz Deacon - brick fireplace lost to make way for a staircase to lead upstairs - the panelling for the rooms upstairs is being made in Indonesia! Probably no longer worth including?

In 2008 it was decided to make this small pub more viable by creating a public room upstairs. In order to do this the 1930s brick fireplace was removed and a staircase added. The room upstairs is a similar size to the lower bar and has fielded panelling on the walls (from Indonesia) made to look similar to the original 1930s panels downstairs. The room is mainly used for meetings. The lack of floorplan made this Marginal R I prior to the change and so it is now Marginal No now. Opens at 5pm Mon to Fri.
