Tucked away among Hove’s terraces at number one Hove Place, The Better Half wears its history with quiet pride.

While the name's a wink to Hove’s reputation as the city’s better half, the true heart of the venue is its people-first ethos. Step inside to find a cosy, easy-going bolthole just a stone’s throw from the seafront - dog-friendly and decidedly welcoming.

The team set out to restore fascination, and they're proud to call it one of the best-loved spots in Brighton and Hove.

The kitchen champions local, seasonal and homemade cooking with a modern dining sensibility. Think warm bread to tear and share, roasted red pepper hummus with crispy kale, and a rich beef bourguignon served with toasted sourdough.

Plates of golden, generous battered fish and chips arrive throughout the week, while Sundays bring slow-braised pressed lamb and sirloin of beef, rounded off perfectly by a comforting apple and berry crumble and warm custard.

Slipping off the beaten track for a relaxed meal is effortless here - bring the dog, the neighbours or your better half, and see why this coastal hideaway lives up to its name.
