Royal Standard, Hastings

A rather basic single roomed Sheps pub, Covid 19 restrictions meant outside drinking only, the beer garden was rammed but I did manage to find a seat at the front of the pub.The only ale on was Whitstable Bay which wasn't very challenging. A half decent pub but dull beer.

Rough-and-ready Sheps pub in an old building that has an attractive façade but a pretty basic interior (and often some rather off-putting clientele). Mind you, if the sun's out, and you go at a quieter time, there are worse places to sit outside on one of the wooden picnic benches and watch the world go by. Regular live music advertised. Spitfire Gold and Whitstable Bay Pale on handpump, along with Cameron's Strongarm as a guest and a cider.
