At first glance you would be forgiven for thinking that this is simply a supermarket, but at the back is an almost secret restaurant space that is open at lunchtimes only, you will need to get there early to make sure you get a seat.

Good lively pub with Speakeasy upstairs. Thai food is very nice and good value too. Their Sunday lunches are becoming very popular too. Good range of local beers and their house spirits are usually sold as premium brands in other pubs, so great value drinks as well.

Stretching from Hove Lagoon in the West to The Marina in the East, the beach is a must visit at any time of year, enjoy the wild solitude on windy winter days, to the vibrant hub it becomes in the summer. Enjoy strolling past the Hove beach huts, and try and spy the little patches of sand that sometimes appear. Barbecues are permitted in the evenings and are a lovely way to watch the city relax and watch the sun go down - just remember to take your rubbish away with you. you'll find cafés, bars, restaurants and clubs to suit every taste, plus kayak and bike hire.
