Hendy’s Home Store Kitchen in Hastings

April 13, 2012

With the opening of Hendy’s Kitchen as a weekend adjunct to his Home Store, British chef, photographer, and design impresario Alastair Hendy is set to become the Domestic God of Hastings.

Alastair Hendy has created the obvious complement to Hendy’s Home Store with his Home Store Kitchen where guests who have come to explore the shop and peruse the wares can also stop for a bite to eat. The atmosphere is small, cozy and domestic. “A seafood kitchen serving simple plates of fish,” says Hendy, “where the food is for eating, rather than just for the pages of magazines.”

Above: On the weekends, when Hendy is down from London, he will cook at the end of the zinc-covered island and serve his guests around the table; seating around six. Another six guests can be accommodated in a small dining room. The fresh-off-the-boat seafood comes from the local fishermen huts at the beach.
