Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone

If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly.

At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened.

Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop?

If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings.

Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣

And from what I remember, she eventually cut the tea shop for a similar  reason to chandelier.  Chariot style buggies

Rose who used to run Grace and Favour has a wonderful shop called Butlers Emporium on george Street in Hastings
