Hastings Old Town pub launches crab pasty
and live on Freeview channel 276
The seafront pub, which is famed for its home-made pies and pasties has come up with another first in its latest offering – the crab pasty. Earlier this year Landlord Bob Tipler and wife Izzy went on a fact finding trip to the Isle of Wight, where crab pasties are a particular favourite, and have come up with their own home-made recipe.
It comes just months after the pub launched the Sussex Pasty, made with Sussex lamb, making the bold claim that the pasty originated in Sussex, not Cornwall. Commenting on the new crab pasty, Bob said: “There has been a lot of interest. Hastings has a long history as a fishing town so it seemed the natural thing to do.”
