The Farm Tavern

Why You’ll Love The Farm Tavern

The Farm Tavern is a friendly neighbourhood pub in Hove that blends traditional pub hospitality with local charm and a menu of truly satisfying comfort food. From hearty Sunday roasts to European-inspired small plates that pair perfectly with a drink or two, it’s a go-to spot for both food and fun. Events like summertime BBQs, sea shanty evenings, Drag Bingo, and DJ nights ensure there’s always something happening.

Cosy Gothic Pub Atmosphere

Tucked away from the bustle of Hove’s high street on the quiet Farm Road, The Farm Tavern offers a warm and inviting setting. The pub’s interior is candlelit with a cosy, gothic feel, creating the ideal community pub atmosphere. Despite its snug vibe, the space is deceptively spacious, making it perfect for gatherings. In the colder months, you can enjoy a pint by the open fire, while their cocktail menu—featuring Bloody Marys, Margaritas, and great deals—is available year-round. For wine lovers, their excellent selection pairs beautifully with the Eastern European-inspired small plates menu.

Food at The Farm

The Farm Tavern’s Sunday roasts, served from 12–6 pm, are a favourite among locals. With options like pork, beef, or chicken, plus standout vegetarian dishes that can be made vegan, there’s something for everyone. Choose between a lentil, pinhead oat, and sunflower seed haggis or a sweet potato, spinach, and smoked tofu pie. The roasts come with all the trimmings, and there are extra sides available, such as pigs in blankets or gluten-free cauliflower and broccoli cheese with a herb crumb. Don’t miss the option to add extra crackling! Kids under 12 can enjoy a special roast menu as well. For dessert, the Sticky Toffee Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream is a crowd-pleaser. In the summertime, lighter options like their Sunday baps are also available.

Eastern European Small Plates

From Wednesday to Saturday, the pub serves a delicious menu of Eastern European-inspired small plates to complement your drinks or events. Highlights include Pierogi Dumplings, Kielbasa Hot Dogs, and Chicken Schnitzel. For something sweet, the vegan Polish Baked Apple Cake with Bourbon Vanilla and Butterscotch Sauce is worth returning for.
