The Farm Tavern

You'll find yourself on a quiet stretch of Farm Road in Hove, away from the seafront chaos, where The Farm Tavern sits like it's been there forever (because it basically has). It's the kind of place where regulars nod at each other, the bartender knows what you drink, and nobody's taking Instagram photos of their pint. The menu's straightforward—proper pub food that doesn't try too hard—and they've clearly got their beer list sorted with a rotating selection of ales that suggest someone actually cares about what's on tap. It's unpretentious in the way only a real neighbourhood local can be.
