Review of Bali Brasserie
20 May 08, 19:13
off beaten track 
This odyssey of Malaysian and Indonesian cuisine at the bottom of a Hove restidential road is way off the beaten track, but has a loyal following nonetheless. Decor is 1970's meets Far East.

Review of The Gingerman
19 May 08, 20:24
Intimate 
The Gingerman has sister restaurants at drakes Hotel, and the Ginger Pig. Small and tucked away, perfect for intimate dates or lunches gossiping with your mates.Neutral, minimalist decor, wooden floor and brown leather chairs

Review of Suttons Furnishings
19 May 08, 20:06
Beautiful designs
I recently went into this shop to look for curtains. They have a huge amount of fabric books, so many you don't know where to start, but they do a very good job helping you pick the right books to go with your taste. Really really nice designs, I'm sure they'd have something for everyone. They'll come round to your house to measure up for you. A good experience

Great pub
Now this is a great pub. Always busy, always buzzing, great location. I love all the little nooks and crannies.This is a bar that you get a good feeling from every time you go in

Review of The Blind Busker
05 May 08, 19:23
Clicky 
This pub is the one of the very few pubs that shows live football, and it does that well, in fact, as far as I can make out, it's the only reason to go in there. It's not got a great feel to it, unless you're one of the landlords mates, and then you'll have a blinding time (scuse the pun) A bit too clicky for me

Review of Ashoka Tandoori Restaurant

Pukka
A lovely curry, always so so important you chose a good Indian restaurant, and this is a good one. I like a veggie curry personally, and there's lots of choice of vegetable side dishes, the waiters are always efficent and you always leave with a full belly. can't go wrong here

Review of Hove Place
30 Apr 08, 13:39
Great garden
This is quite a quaint little pub in the centre of Hove. It has lots of character, and has lots of nooks and crannies so that it can be quite small and intimate. It has a great garden, which is quite a pull in the summer

Review of Leonardo Ristorante Italiano
30 Apr 08, 13:34
Best Italian in Hove
This is a really good Italian in Hove, of which there are many, and they're all good but this may be the best. Great pizza, great pasta, good value, good service. It also does lots of other dishes, my favourite starter is the scallops with quails eggs, it's delicious

Review of Orsino Cocktail Bar Restaurant
30 Apr 08, 13:29
Great menu
This is a nice little Italian restaurant, that has a very extensive menu. It's always popular, a good indication, has great dishes, especially the seafood. There's plenty of choice near it, but it's up there with the rest of them

Review of Freemasons Tavern
28 Apr 08, 21:56
True Brighton Style
I went in here for the first time at the weekend so I'm not a great expert, but it seemed like a great little bar. It had people spilling out onto the street which is always a good sign. It had great interior, that unique Brighton style, but very relaxed and laid back. Nice little booths for those in a group of people wanting to catch up over a cocktail.

Review of Chip Basket
27 Apr 08, 17:26
Oh I do like to live beside the seaside 
Living by the seaside you would hope that your local chippy would be a cut above the average. The chip basket is exactly that. I always have cod, chips and mushy peas. I can't remember having sampled better. Popularity means that's often a queue but worth the wait

Review of Timpson
24 Apr 08, 17:24
Always friendly
You know what you're getting with Timpsons. Very convenient, good quality shoe repairs and key cutting. Not much more to it, but you don't need there to be, simple. Good service too, always very friendly and helpful

Review of The Meadow Restaurant
23 Apr 08, 14:31
Lovely food
This is a nice restaurant, lovely menu, the food is really good quality. It's in a good location, in the centre of Hove, and has lovely big windows letting in a lot of light, making it seem a lot bigger and spacious than it really is.

Review of Otello Restaurant

Fantastic Pizza's
Otellos is a great Italian restaurant in the centre of Hove. The menu is pretty much just pizza and pasta, but they do it very well. Probably the best place for pizza in Hove, which is saying something because there is loads of choice

Brilliant Find
This shops is great for old furniture, especially antique wardrobes. They can source pretty much anything you like and it's always lovely stuff. It only looks like a small little shop but it has a lot in it, and if you're looking to buy some original pieces for your home it's great.

Review of Tin Drum
10 Apr 08, 13:39
Great Hove venue
The Tin Drum Hove is a great venue if you're eating or just going for a drink. It's best to eat there at lunch time, or they do a great breakfast, but in the evening it's more geared around being a bar. The atmsosphere is good and it's a great location in Hove
