Great Xmas meal for 14 of us at the weekend. They catered for our dietary needs/ special vegan menu. We were not rushed, service was great, even in such a busy pub with lots of xmas parties going on. The food was fresh and very tasty. Thank you!
We had the 45 day old aged rump steak and wagyu burger. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly. The triple cooked chips were fab too. Finished with the chocolate caramel fondant. A decadent yet thoroughly enjoyable Saturday lunch. Service was attentive, polite and sincere whilst busy with a great atmosphere, will definitely be returning!
Came here for a Sunday Roast and was not disappointed. The Yorkshire puddings were absolutely huge! They benefit from a gorgeous outside space which is lovely when the sun's out, and the place has a really nice atmosphere in general. Been back a few times just for drinks but didn't hesitate to bring family here for dinner when they were down to visit.
Venturing into Hove Place, newcomers might find the distinct, somewhat 'porky' aroma of the pub interior noticeable, but this feature adds to the authenticity of a venue that refuses to pretend to be anything but real. It's a nod to traditional pub culture, where the essence of hearty meals forms part of the atmosphere. This initial olfactory greeting shouldn’t deter visitors, as any uncertainties are swiftly allayed once the experience unfolds.
While cozy and traditional inside, Hove Place's true heart lies in its impressive outdoor area. Stepping into the garden, patrons are greeted by a haven that speaks the language of both comfort and tranquility. This spacious outdoor retreat, adorned with lush greenery and ample seating, is the perfect setting for any gathering, offering a slice of serenity away from the urban hustle. Whether it's a sun-drenched afternoon or a cool evening with friends under the fairy lights, the garden space exudes a magical quality that cannot be overshadowed.
The menu complements the laid-back atmosphere, with an array of delectable and hearty offerings that promise satisfaction. While the beverages pay homage to the time-honored traditions of pub drinks, there’s an innovative flair evident in the seasonal specialties.
Hove Place manages to encapsulate the feeling of home for its patrons, with staff that carry the familiar warmth of long-time friends. They serve not just meals or pints, but an experience that lingers, urging you to return.
In essence, Hove Place champions the quintessential British pub experience with a unique charm. It's a reminder that sometimes, a little imperfection adds character, making a place not just a venue, but a story in the making.
Great little spot, especially in the garden on a sunny day. Had food here once and it was a great menu and presentation surpassed my expectations. Would recommend at very least to come in for a beer, I believe they do cocktails also (I had a bloody Mary and it was basic at best).
Pub is a lot bigger than it looks like from the outside ! It has a really nice garden in the back with heatlamps and a sheltered area alowing you to enjoy the outside area even if its colder. The staff was very warm and welcoming. I had a burger with chips which was perfectly cooked ! Would absolutely recommend it.
Lovely garden, easily accessed by pushchairs (only one step) and dog friendly. We were lucky to discover the pub on a walkabout Saturday, then returned Sunday evening for dinner.
The food was excellent, and the staff were lovely - they also had good knowledge of allergens and were able to recommend gluten-free options for me from the menu.
We each had a Sunday roast; I had lamb and my partner had pork. Both were delicious and the meat cooked and seasoned perfectly, to the point where it would melt in your mouth.
Great place for Sunday lunch sitting outside in the back garden, assuming fine weather. Substantial roast with lashings of gravy. What's not to like. Also sampled the fish finger sandwich. Satisfying
Had a vegan roast dinner in The Hove and it was fabulous. The roast potatoes were excellent and freshly cooked (no frozen ones in here) tasty vegan wellington with all the trimmings. Beautiful vegan chocolate tart for dessert. The food was worth every penny. The waitress however was so lovely. She knew her menu, she was helpful and funny. I wanted to ask her to join us for lunch. We will be returning to The Hove in the future for sure.
What a lovely place, almost hidden away downstairs. Quirky but welcoming. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious too. Can't wait till warmer weather to sample the gardens
It's rare that I find a place that does so well that I can't think of what I'd do differently. And this place is one of those rare places 🤌🏽
The interior is super beautiful, wooden features are cosy, not to mention they have a fire place 🔥
Garden is quite lovely, especially in the sun! 🌞
The bagguettes we ordered were so delicious too! probably the best bagguette sandwich I've ever had 👌🏽 made with a nice rustic crispy bread while soft on the inside. 🥖 The mortadella was so juicy while the Raghu pastrami was our favourite. The pepper, the sweet gherkin and sauce was so good! 🤤🤤🤤
Definitely coming back for more 👌🏽
Objective was to try the local brew from Harveys and we ended up here. Lovely pub hidden away from plain sight. Highlight is the garden at back at the back of the pub. the lady at the bar was a bit grumpy but she was swift and courteous and the taste of the drink from the local brewery made it a worthwhile experience. I heard the food is good too (didnt try myself, but it was smelling good). Recommended
