Norman Road

In an act of brilliance so clear it should be sponsored by the Arts Council, Little Larder has furnished their outside seating area. (Don’t know what to call it: patio, extension and conservatory are just not grand enough…)

Little Larder sur herbe

Coffees, teas, cakes, sandwiches, the whole monty can be enjoyed in the outer salon of Norman Road’s fave sit down and enjoy place.

So given that these muffins are just to die for:

Tracey Emin eat yer heart out..

The Times, a newspaper of many supplements, recently had a article about places to eat by the Beach.

And very odd choices they had too. Something from somewhere called Camber. (Did you know they have seals in Camber? Lets hope they don’t do anything ghastly and Canadian to them and them offer them up with chips.)

But really good food in and around Hastings and St Leonards? Pah! They had none, not even the one with a Michelin award. St Clements at the top of Norman Road, an absolutely fabbo eaterie. Nor was Pasta Pasta displayed, with some of the finest pizzas in Sussex, (and the ghost of the first British ice cream maker in the basement). Nor the ever popular Smiths where Richard cooks up the a la mode du jour in finer fashion than most. Kassa remains unfound, Aaardvaark unknown, The Little Larder lamentably unmentioned.

Now, sure, this is Norman warbling, but to only mention a sandwich shop in the Old Town, Rudges or summit, makes me think the Times journalist must of had a gastric bypass. Not a good thing in a foodie.

So, for our gastrically challenged scribe, Norm recommends alternative pleasure..

Now that Christmas is done and dusted Norman Road is awake and trading again. And to show our International Cred, our commitment to BritShop and all sorts of other stuff we have a picture of a ‘geezer in a beret‘  but wearing seasonal sprouts, none of those foreign onion things.

Norman Road. Leading into the Next Decade of Shopping fun. For You!
Yay!

Welcome to One, 1 London Road*, our newest Nearly Norman, who has an array of wonderful food to take away, an array of wonderful art to see while you stay, and whose lovely, bright, colourful premises have brought a ray of sunshine to Norman’s early autumn.

*Very Wellingtonian, who, after retirement, lived at Number 1, London.

Saturday & Sunday 19th &20th September

Yup, this weekend the Hastings Seafood and wine festival, down by the Stade on the front. Norman will be there in the shape of the best restaurant in East Sussex, St Clements, the renowned Deli and Cafe, Spike’s QOL and Dawg’s Biscuits, (natch; who do you think herds ‘em all in, huh?)

When you tire of the crowds, the hurly burly, the razzmatazz you can seek entertainment and comfort here in Norman Road: great antique shops to browse, the finest pub in the area, (The Horse & Groom), and all you need to recharge those batteries.

QOL, at 39 Norman Road will be open for light lunches, coffees and teas, as well as being at the festival.
