Hove Place in Brighton and Hove

Walked in hoping they had space for us for a Sunday Roast and were not disappointed!! I actually think pub roasts are quite difficult to get right and often end up a bit disappointed but this was incredible! Both the vegetarian and meat ones were huge portions with a great variety of veg, immense yorkies, and the lamb was to die for !! Will definitely be back - and the service was immaculate too !!

Great food, comfortable ambiance, friendly staff

Nice large garden area to enjoy a Sunday roast - the pork is really good and suggest ordering a side of cheesy chips to accompany. It's rare to get a roast with enough gravy, so was pleasantly surprised.

Very nice pub with a well-kept and lively internal garden. Typical English food, good and well looked after. Friendly staff.

I have just visited The Hove Place today, and had a wonderful experience. Our waitress Leesha was super helpful and had an incredible aura. She was lovely and made our visit!

Laboise (the Irish lady) was really lovely and bubbly!! Great drinks and atmosphere

We tried the Sunday roast, a classic English dish. Very good! It's a shame that the kids can no longer stay in the restaurant after 8.30pm because it becomes a pub and therefore they have to go out due to English laws. Nothing bad but write it on the site... we had to eat in 1 hour (for this 4 star service).

Great drink selection and lovely beer garden

Absolutely delicious food, great service and beautiful outdoor seating area.

Always a good pub and atmosphere

Great beer garden Simple delicious food Can’t fault it

Excellent Sunday Roast. Tender meat and tasty vegetables. Friendly staff. Secret Garden delightful on a sunny Sunday. I would love to reply!

Had an excellent experience at The Hove Place for a works gathering

The atmosphere was great because we were at a friend’s party. But if we were there for a quiet drink it’s a lovely, proper pub. The staff were friendly enough although they were busy and constant active. A spread was laid on and the food was all thoughtfully prepared and enjoyed.

Always busy but it has a lovely back garden separated into two. You have smokers side as well as non smokers. I tried steak sandwich and it was delicious. Service was great even if it was quite busy in the garden. It is also ideal for Sunday Roasts.

Great garden. Good food and service.

Beautiful beer garden, perfect for summer nights

Exceptional service and great food!!! Fantastic!!!

Great food and service and a great garden to have drink n chat plenty of seating

We had to wait over an hour for our meal. It was great when it arrived. We were outside (a group of 14) and it was cold ..the staff kindly provided blankets and lit the garden warmer.

Great food, great service, love the outside Italian garden

Great place to socialize. Phone signal is bad but I suppose it is benefit when you want to disconnect from online "world". 😊

Had a very pleasant meal and drinks at this establishment. My husband and son had beefburgers and chips. Whilst I had a vegan burger. The standard was very good and the ambience was very relaxing. The service we experienced was excellent. Friendly and helpful waiters. We would definitely revisit.

Lovely pub, highlight is the outside area on a hot summers days. Lots of natural shade, love the blossom tree! Platters were delicious. Was hoping for faster service but it’s a busy place so what do you expect. Great for families

Nice pub with a lovely garden area. The food was great and the service was really prompt - would recommend.

Pretty interesting pub located under some houses, surprisingly cool beer garden out the back. Cool sun trap, and because of the surrounding houses, is protected from the wind. Bar staff were friendly.

Great Sunday roast and some nice dessert choices, plus the outdoor seating is very nice if the sun is out.

Just dropped in for a drink with friends. Always a nice pub 👍

Popped in here after work with a colleague for a quick bite. Ambience spot on, staff very friendly and super helpful. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced.

Went yesterday (marathon day). Booked a table in advance. As soon as we got there were told had to leave within 2 hours (fine and understandable). Then got told this again by person taking drinks order and then again by person who took us to our table originally who also said we needed to order food ASAP - we'd been sat down for 10 mins and had already ordered drinks. They then took 20-30 mins to bring drinks (a couple of beers and apple juice) - not sure why we had to rush when they were in no hurry! Food was OK. Maybe would have ordered desserts (had 45 mins left on table) but decided not to due to service and feeling rushed.

Lovely bar hidden away. It's bigger than it looks and is like an Aladdin's cave. Great service, good atmosphere and music, but pricey. (£21.90 for two glasses of wine.) The main reason for four and not five stars is that the limited cocktails they do are canned! I'm sure they could make them fresh but considering they're £9 each I think it's very unreasonable to charge that price. Will go back, though. Just not when in a cocktail mood!

Nice friendly staff but this place is all fur coat and no knickers.

Really nice place, good food and a reasonable beer selection. Expensive but worth it.

One of the prettiest pubs in Hove. The food is high quality and delicious. Good range of drinks. Both indoor and outdoor seating are lovely. Also dog friendly!

Great lunch today. Friendly service good food

Superb place. Clean, warm, comfortable, understated. Excellent food. Great beer and wine. Professional and friendly staff.

Amazing food, good polite helpful service. Very busy/popular Book in advance

Lovely staff but accidentally messed my tables order. They put it right in the end.

We had dinner here on Sunday evening, which we really enjoyed! Had Sunday Roast, Sirloin of beef with Yorkshire pudding that was so big and looked like a mushroom! Awesome! Never had it before, but the three of us had a delicious meal

Awesome little pub with great heated garden.

Visited with a group of friends for Sunday lunch. At £20 for a roast maybe my expectations were set high as I was a little underwhelmed. A lovely slice of rare beef and nice to be asked by the server our preference. They handled all the orders efficiently and cheerily. The veg was where it fell short. Roast carrot limp and over done, roast potatoes also over roasted and were largely a shell of porato. Yorkshire too was just completely crunchy that fractured when cut. The veg was in a pile under the meat and YP which made them indistinguishable once you started cutting in. None of it bad enough to warrent a complaint but not good enough to entice me back with other friends. It looks like they are doing something right as it was packed which may explain why, in my opinion, it didn't hit the mark the price warrented.

Lovely Italianate garden to while away a summer evening. The food sounds good but is a bit overpriced for the quality. They have a decent beer selection though and friendly service.

Very busy Sunday lunch. We got the last table for 'second sitting' at 2:30pm. Service was good but it was difficult for them to keep up with so many covers. Food was very good. Atmosphere a bit loud and squashed in.

The Sunday roast was amazing. I had the vegetarian Wellington, which was delicious, the biggest Yorkshire pudding, which was also delicious and the vegetables were done to perfection. They were very very busy and we had quite a long wait so they gave all 3 of us free desserts because of our wait time which were also amazing. Very friendly service too

Excellent food and great friendly service!

Went in to grab a drink before closing and the staff was kind and caring. They had an extensive menu of local ciders in stock and were super informative about the selection. The indoor decor is cozy and well maintained however the seating outback is breathtaking even in an English winter.

Great pub, great outside area which is great in Summer or Winter (has heaters). Little more expensive than other pubs in the area but I think its worth the bit extra.

Probably one of the worst burgers I have ever had. The bun was so hard it was almost inedible and the burger was burnt. Will not be returning for food! Nice staff and pleasant for a drink but avoid the menu!

Very tasty and good amount of food for a Christmas dinner. Staff were a bit overly attentive but we only had a certain amount of time so a bit understanding.

The pub itself has a nice atmosphere but nothing special to be honest. The food we had for our Christmas party was average. Drinks are reasonable priced. WiFi connection is really poor in the back garden area. Toilets are tiny but clean.

Awesome place, looks great from the outside and surprisingly big inside, friendly staff and great choices of drinks.

Nice Pub with large outdoor space

Amazing roast dinner and great selection of pints

Perfect vibe , haven’t tried the food , beer normal

First time and definitely not the last one! Beautiful place with delish roast! Staff super attentive and knowledgeable. Birthday celebrations were fantastic 👏🏻 Dione were superb with organising the most beautiful table and took care of us through out the time there ! Can wait to come back again soon! Thank you Hove Place Team

Service quick, friendly and efficient and the roast lamb was awesome!

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.

Ci siamo fermati poco tempo, esperienza buona,locale piacevole

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 outdoor seating area for a friends birthday

Terrible, over priced food and stingy portions

I have loved this pub for over a decade and have lived on the same street for the past 7 years - it’s my local, and I have brought dozens of people here. Unfortunately the hospitality seems to have taken a turn for the worst. I queried the price of a Shandy, as it was the same as a pint of bitter. Even though the manager conceded that a pint of lemonade would be less than a pint of bitter, she absolutely wasn’t budging. I can see now that it’s an issue elsewhere, so I will watch out for that, and I don’t like to carry resentment - it’s bad for our health. But what I can’t shake off is the fact that I just don’t want to go back there now - the righteousness and bullishness and lack of grace of my hostess, has tainted what used to be a feeling of warmth and welcome. I wasn’t going to leave a review but then I read other recent reviews about staff, and thought, yeah! Watch out everyone! The food is good. The setting is lovely, but please, management treat us as equals and with respect and then we might want to come back.

Ordered two meats, cheese board, Very small portions, so when the ham turned up with more fat then meat , we sent it back. Another island ham Brusello Think spellt wrong, sorry, was dried out. Honestly, for what they charge, disappointed!!

Been coming here now since moving to Hove two years ago. The food is usually of a good quality (the fish and chips are always good). There is a nice garden to sit out in the warmer months. The one HUGE negative in this place, which impacts on us using the bar more is the manager. She should NOT be this position. She is terse, miserable, rude and abrupt in her manner. Everyone you talk to in Hove knows who you refer to when you talk about Hove Place. Unfortunately, of late the staff members seem to 'feed off' her negative miserable vibes; leading to sometimes having poor, sloppy, substandard service. If the owner could somehow remove this negative manager from the place, they could really make this bar the best in Hove.

Great little pub. Definitely worth going for the Sunday roast, it's the standout for food (although the chicken nuggets were particularly lush, as are the chunky chips).

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.

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

Lovely food, atmosphere, great service, beautiful outside space

Nice outside seating area and huge bar under Victorian terraced houses

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).

Such a pretty picture perfect pub! Great atmosphere, good selection of drinks and tasty food.

Didn't have food but sat outside with friends for a few drinks.

Lovely pub in Hove and been loads of times but we visited last week and they were extremely busy but the owner and some of the staff we're extremely ruuuuuuude. Don't be put off by this, great pub and only writing this so the owner reads it and may be changes her attitude to paying customers.

The inside and outside area are nicely decorated and the food was god. I had the halloumi burger with chips, it was really good.

Great roast good qtys and lovely flavour. Good atmosphere and particularly nice for good weather outdoor dining. Friendly service although seemed quite stretched, e.g. drinks came out after main meal arrived. Would recommend overall.

Food was bit pricey but good. Service was excellent. Sat in their really nice town garden. It's a bit quirky but I really like it here.

What used to be a favourite place, prices too high for the quality of food. Handed out. The only good thing is the nice garden, but now I hear you can't just go for drinks. Their loss!

Fantastic food lovely friendly staff in a gorgeous setting highly recommend.

We popped in on our way to a concert, it was very busy understandably but we managed to get a seat. We decided to stay for a Sunday lunch. The meat was nice but the Yorkshire was totally overdone, and the roast potatoes were rock solid! We feel the food had been sitting on the side all day. Would not order again

Met family and friends in sunny garden Staff heplful and chatty. Menu quite wide and well-presented. Recommended for lunch

food was not great..big dispointment

Excellent food, drinks, atmosphere. Lovely service. Thank you.

Chilled vibes, halloumi burger is a must

Great outside back garden, great food and drinks. Always a nice place to go to during those long summer nights

Going there again today, so can't be bad at all ! Will put more on later when I've been again!

Lovely location. But.... expensive

If you want a clean gastro pub then 10/10

Food was good, but for a two hour sitting, it took over 20 minutes for the service staff to even get to the table.

Management said they couldn’t be responsible for what the kitchen sent out 😂 The kitchen were definitely having a laugh sending out 3 skinny asparagus with a blob of cream cheese and 3 halves of radish for £10 A slice of French bread with hummus and courgette on it £10 - genius. It has to taste exceptionally good if you’re charging that for that and sadly it was just plain. We all needed to go home and cook dinner after footing a really large bill. Such a shame as the garden is really pretty - maybe just go for a drink.

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.

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

I’ve been many times in the past and the food has always been nice for a bistro pub but I haven’t been now for a while and this time the food was awful and expensive to boot. I had a hallumi burger which consisted of one rather thin slice of hallumi a bit of lettuce in a stale dry brioche bun, the chips were ok but not many, my friend had a small piece of thickly battered fish oozing oil, chips again were nice. At just short of £19 each meal I would have expected a lot better

Beautiful place, ok food, terrible service

Great garden for chilled drinks

Lovely seating areas outside. The staff were quite nice, the food how ever was awful. I ordered the roast beef dinner, I asked for the beef to be well done, but it was bloody and chewy. The 2 roast potatoes that was put on the plate were so dry!! And so hard to eat. The Yorkshire was hard and cold. Small amount of gravy. Paid £20 for it and didn't eat a single thing apart from a carrot.

Very rude manager with a tremendous condescending attitude and a bit of racism. Appalling experience…

Thank you for such a fabulous, relaxed and chilled Friday dinner! We booked an area for 20 of us and had such a great time! We were warmly welcomed into the pub and were given lots of attention but i just found everything was so easy and chilled! I couldn't believe it... maybe i need to move to Brighton, but normally with that number, the pub is rushing you to put orders in but there was none of that at all! The meals all came out together and everyone had such a lovely meal and time. We must have drunk most of the Ultimate Provence Rose (sorry about that :-) It was my 2nd time there and i'll definitely be back!

Great pub. Excellent beer (Harvey's), superb food & service, super garden + a great location (5 mins walk from cricket ground). It's got everything going for it.

Exceptional fish and chips well worth a visit and they take dogs
