The Kiosk on the West Hill is officially open!
The Kiosk is now open on the West Hill, serving breakfast options, toasties and pizzas, ice cream and a range of hot and cold drinks.
The temporary kiosk was officially opened by Mayor of Hastings, Cllr Becca Horn, on Wednesday, 16 July, following approval from the Hastings Borough Council Planning Committee on 9 July 2025.
The kiosk forms part of the overall regeneration of the Hastings Castle and West Hill Cafe site and the programme is being delivered by Troika Projects. Visit the project page for more details and background on the overall project.
The kiosk will provide an opportunity for the project team to build a presence onsite, foster relationships within the community, and offer regular project updates through public engagement.
