Welcome to St Clements
Seasonal produce served in a relaxed atmosphere.
Having visited Hastings on a few day-trips from London I soon realised its
potential for a restaurant, particularly a fish restaurant.
The local fleet’s catch was very appealing; Dover Sole, Skate, Gunard
and Sea Bass just for starters. All straight off the boat and on the table
by lunchtime - I couldn’t stop myself.
We opened St Clements with the intention of serving well-sourced fish,
meat and vegetables, all local and seasonal as possible. This allows our
menus and our style of food to flow naturally.
We don’t need to over embellish anything, just let the key ingredient
strut its stuff. St Leonards and the surrounding areas are very rich in
produce, smokeries, rare breed farms, non-intensive dairies - the list goes
on.
It soon became apparent a restaurant seemed like a very good idea - all
very exciting stuff.
