New Hastings seafront pasty shack is instant success and this is why
The pub acquired a wooden food outlet close to its entrance and gave it the full treatment with a stunning make-over and eye-catching paint-job and sign.
It offers freshly made coffee as well as a variety of pasties, including a vegan option and a range of cakes and pastries.

Pasty varieties include traditional Cornish, beef and stilton, chicken and mushroom, cheese and onion, Mediterranean veg and a vegan red Thai.
Albion landlord Bob Tipler said: “We have sourced a gluten free brownie from the Old Town and have a new range of potato crisps from just up the road in Robertsbridge.
“Our ethos is to source as much as we can locally - ales, ciders and the ingredients of our pies. We are staffing up and investing in new equipment.”

The shack has a long history dating back to the early 1800’s when it was a tobacconist. In more recent times it has sold hotdogs, burgers and ice cream.
