Goodbye to much-loved Stevie Stone
HOT’s Zelly Restorick was one of those people lucky enough to have been close friends with Steve Stone, the news of whose death she heard about from Aideen O’Hagen of Jiggery Pokery a couple of days ago. “I was one of many of those lucky people – which was proven when he celebrated his 60th and 70th birthdays and was surrounded by a hall filled with family and friends, good music, drinks and hearty handmade food.” “I never thought I’d make it to 60”, he joked at both decade celebrations!

Young chef makes a mark in Hastings
Behind every great dish served at a restaurant lies the expertise of a skilled chef. What goes into becoming a master of cuisine?

Niamh Carroll from The Crown Hastings wanted to tell us about one of her colleagues right at the start of his career in catering.
Nakba 75: an ongoing catastrophe
The Nakba – catastrophe – refers to the bloody expulsion of Palestinians from their homes and settlements by Zionist militias in 1948 as the state of Israel was established. But 75 years later the catastrophe continues, says Laurie Holden of the Hastings and Rye Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, whose commemoration of Nakba Day on Sunday 14 May will be hosted by Hastings Mosque.
