Conveniently located on the first floor of East Sussex College Hastings, next to the train and bus station, Coast training restaurant is staffed by our Hospitality and Culinary art students with support from Vocational Skills Practitioner Rob Rowley, Restaurant Manager, Jakki Pransky and Head Chef, David Koller. The students prepare, cook, present and serve delicious contemporary dishes in the restaurant, as part of their training, at an affordable price.
