Susanne Wybrands… I spent my summer holidays in Hastings in June 1985 and had the time of my life in the evenings with the mixes and amazing crowd at the Cask and Kettle. We celebrated New Year’s Eve in June, listened to lovely live music (there was a couple, Rob and his pregnant wife). I was on a special diet because of my allergies, and Dave, the barkeeper, served my tap water in a fancy glass with ice and lemon without charging anything. In the afternoon there were many pensioners who loved to discuss a great variety of topics, accompanied us on tours along the coast. There were young guys out of work, construction workers, surgeons – that wonderful mixture you only find in English pubs.
