Congratulations to The Dolphin Inn, 11-12 Rock-a-Nore Road, Hastings TN34 3DW (facebook page), for winning the CAMRA South East Sussex Community Pub of the Year 2019. Well done to Mark and Mo, Laura, Louise and Fraser, and all the bar staff, plus to Clare and her kitchen staff for adding a new dimension since she took on the kitchen.
The Dolphin Inn, its staff and customers do make this not just an excellent place to knock back 6 real ales, always in perfect condition, at any one time, including 3 regulars (Dark Star Hophead, Harveys Sussex Best and Youngs Special), and 3 guest ales, usually locally brewed, for example, I enjoyed a couple of pints of Dark Star Revelation, a truly 'revelationary' 5.7% hoppy ale, one to savour, and brewed in East Sussex still!
But also, good food, and a true community pub, with locals from all walks of life joining in with community projects, looking out for each other, charity work and fund-raising £thousands, at least three days a week with live music played by local musicians and singers, and welcoming to all ages, and visitors and tourists too...
Yet again, this is certainly a well-deserved award, nice one and cheers!
