Why You’ll like Carne Restaurant in Hove
Tucked along Church Road in Hove, Carne marks the return of a much-loved local Hove restaurant with a refreshed menu, a cosy yet stylish vibe, and a sharp culinary vision. It’s a place where steak takes centre stage, but the welcome is as warm as the cooking. Locals and visitors alike head here for long, leisurely meals, drinks with friends, or a Brighton Sunday roast done with flair.
Hove’s Stylish Steak Destination
Step inside and you’ll find a space that balances industrial style with natural warmth. Rich wood tones, moody lighting and a lively open bar set the atmosphere, while the front terrace is perfect for people-watching and the hidden garden out back offers a more relaxed, tucked-away escape. It’s a restaurant that feels equally at home hosting a casual Hove lunch as it does a celebratory evening.
Exceptional steak and more
As its name suggests, Carne Bar and Kitchen is serious about steak. The menu showcases high-welfare British breeds, from grass-fed Sussex beef to premium Highland Wagyu, with cuts aged in-house for depth of flavour. Showstoppers include the mighty porterhouse for sharing, grilled to perfection on the Synergy Grill, and a rich steak tartare made with 50-day aged beef, confit egg yolk and sourdough.
But Carne is more than just a Brighton and Hove steakhouse. The menu includes creative small plates and fresh seafood, such as seared scallops with black pudding, or fish tacos that are made for seaside dining. Vegetarians are well looked after too, with standout dishes like wild mushroom fettuccine with tarragon and black truffle offering indulgence without compromise.
Cocktails and Sunday Roasts at Carne
RB loves the bar at Carne, which is a destination in its own right, with a list of cocktails that’s as inventive as the food.
Signature serves include a bone marrow Bloody Mary and elegant classics like a perfectly balanced Corpse Reviver No. 2, alongside a strong line-up of wines and alcohol-free choices.
On Sundays, Carne has quickly built a reputation for some of the best Sunday roasts in Brighton and Hove. Juicy cuts of lamb, beef and chicken are paired with Yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables, while vegetarian and vegan roasts are given the same care and attention.
