Hove Park Cafe starts three-course supper evenings this month, at £35

Hove Park Cafe^1,2,3, a daytime cafe, is opening for dinner on two nights this month. The cafe on Park View Road is holding its first evening events on 13 and 27 November, with a starter, main and dessert from a monthly menu for £35 a head, drinks extra.

There’s a launch offer of 20% off, for November only. The cafe’s page doesn’t say exactly what the discount covers, so ask when you book.

The November menu has four starters, including calamari with preserved lemon mayo and mushroom marmite croquettes. For the main there’s pressed lamb shoulder with labneh, peas, chilli butter and shoestring fries, pan-fried chalkstream trout with a trout rosti and mussel cream sauce, or aubergine lasagne. Dessert is tiramisu, lemon tart or a local cheeseboard. A thick-cut sirloin tagliata costs £5 a head more and has to be pre-ordered, for at least two people. Dishes marked VG are vegan, and there’s a vegan choice at every course.

The cafe was refitted in 2024. Its site says the food is made with “locally sourced ingredients”.

Tables are by advance booking only, by email. Groups are welcome, and the cafe also takes private hire for evenings. The page gives no start time, so check that when you book.
