A little note to say…

Our Thursday evenings will start again in the spring when the weather is good (hopefully) and a new menu has been written (definitely), we will post soon about opening dates and times.

Available to hire – If you are in need of a venue this year – a dinner party, a supper club or perhaps a meeting point or workshop, why not send us an email and let us know? Happy to host – info@beaconhastings.com
