SHORT REVIEW FOR RESTAURANTS BRIGHTON.

Let’s face it, we have all missed going out for the epic English roast dinner during this pandemic. The energetic among us may have rustled up a feast from home, but there is something about dining out with no washing up and subtracting the hours of slaving in the kitchen. Here’s where Hove Place have hit the jackpot with their ‘finish at home’ roast dinners, also offering starters and dessert to bring the restaurant experience to life.
We collected our order and were astonished by the amount of food in the sturdy tote bags we were given! Everything was well-packaged in individual, recyclable containers so we could cook each element to our meal according to the varying cooking instructions.
STARTERS
Roast Rib of Dry aged Beef, Seasonal Vegetables and Truffled Cauliflower Cheese
We began with our starter of ‘British Cheese Deli Box’, with three full portions of Artisan cheese, bread, chutney, and crackers, and ‘Black Pudding Waffle and Fried Chicken’. The chicken took just seconds to fry off with the maple and bacon syrup in a pre-heated pan. It’s fair to say we were getting full already, so we decided to wait an hour before heating the roast dinner.
MAINS
You may be doubtful that a roast dinner will travel well, but Hove Place have worked tirelessly to present the same restaurant quality and they have exceeded all expectations. We both ordered the Roast Rib of Dry Aged Beef, which was cooked rare so we could heat at home to our taste. The tenderness of the 35-day dry-aged beef was truly uncompromised. This came complete with seasonal vegetables, roast potatoes (crisped to perfection), a herby Yorkshire pudding, lashings of homemade gravy and of course horseradish. We also selected the beautiful, Truffled Three Cheese Cauliflower Cheese.
DESSERTS

Below: Coffee, Chocolate and Bourbon Tiramisu
After another break for our stomachs, we delved into dessert. Hove Place put their stamp on the Italian classic of Coffee, Chocolate and Bourbon Tiramisu, but the real star of the show was the decadent Chocolate, Salted Caramel and Almond Tart which we paired with double cream. I’ll let the pictures do the talking for this one!
CONCLUDING THOUGHTS
Our day of feasting was faultless and this is a fantastic alternative to a regular takeaway. Pre-book your order at here and book in your time slot for collection or delivery.
