Porters - Reservar uma mesa

The person who greeted us when we arrived said 'can I help you? ', tone and expression suggesting perhaps we shouldn 't be there. I 'd booked a table for 4, we were given a table that was clearly for 2. Thinking this was a mistake, I said 'oh there are 4 of us '. the answer was simply 'this IS a table for 4 '. We sat. Five minutes later another member of staff offered to change the table, to be fair it was our decision not to move. However, although the restaurant wasn 't at all busy were were then totally ignored, not even a menu in HALF AN HOUR. Eventually one of our party went up to the bar where two of the staff were standing around talking, and took one. Suddenly one of the wait staff appeared with menus, as if they 'd only just seen us (we were literally right in front of them). When we 'd finished eating, nobody bothered to come to clear the table, or to ask if we wanted/ needed anything else, or offer us dessert or coffee. When we stood up to leave, someone did appear to clear, without of course interrupting her conversation with the other staff at the bar. A few years back Porters was a great place to eat, always packed at weekends, good atmosphere. Not any more, and given the level of service (which also has a very negative impact on the atmosphere in genera) this is hardly surprising.

My wife often eats out with friends here and always saying how good it is, but the real beer choice was poor, so I do not go. However we booked for my birthday and they now do a better choice of beers and have good beers from Longman. I had the rump steak on the rock and my wife, sirloin. For the price the quality was very high, certainly the best steak I have had in a very long time. Although very quiet, no table service for drinks and no one checks, so missing out on sales there, that is for sure. Having said that, the evening was very pleasant and will be going back now they have a better selection of beers.

One of several perfectly adequate wine bar restaurants in Hastings, the food here is perfectly ok, but the manager was extremely unhelpful to me and my two friends. Also the two drinks I’d usually choose on tap both ran out. Overall a negative experience. They do book a load of excellent musicians, though, usually solo or duo — worth checking out.

had a delicious lunch in porters. the personal is beautiful. Eating is always on the square. Vegan and carnivores are completely happy. I wish we had enough space for the desert. house wine great. a bit too much for a lunchtime, but hey so beautiful environment and celebrate, outside after quite a long time inside
