Hastings has been Russell Dorey’s home for the last 20 years, and The Crown is his favourite pub: “The beers are interesting (not in a Belgian way) and the food is good.” He has chosen to celebrate The Crown – and Hastings – by painting a series of works tailored to a local crowd. Lucky us! His paintings are a feast for the eyes – the perfect complement to the good food and interesting beer. HOT’s Erica Smith meets the artist.

It was Gertrude Jekyll, wasn’t it, who said ‘What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer, the fulfillment of the promise of the earlier months, and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade?’ Yes it was. And I mention Ms Jekyll because, of course, she was one of our Prime Minister’s ‘dream dinner party guests,’ as recently reported. And I like to think that it was with these wise words in mind that Mrs May chose June as her month to go to the country. But while we wait for the result, there’s a lot going on down here to distract us.
