El Bolillo

El Bolillo

El Bolillo is a new restaurant in Hove, by former Midsummer House development chef Greg Clarke and his partner Matty Salvetti.

The meaning of El Bolillo: Mexican street slang for “the white boy,” is a nod to a British chef opening a casual taqueria on the main drag in Hove.

The result is a Michelin-trained master captivated by Mexico City’s vibrant street food, bringing a playful, reimagined version to the coast. Expect food with the minimalistic swagger of fine dining and flavours reminiscent of your favourite late-night guilty pleasure.

Enjoy punchy cocktails with the sass of an elevated speakeasy, and a wine list where you don’t have to pretend to be an expert. This new restaurant will blend the city’s brutalist architecture with raw textures, creating an elegant and casual neighbourhood setting on Hove’s main drag.
