The Nevill

Head down Nevill Road towards Hove and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that reminds you why the British invented them in the first place. The Nevill pulls a genuine cross-section of the community through its doors: young professionals, long-time locals, people who've been coming here for years. It's got that lived-in feeling that comes from being a proper boozer rather than a gastropub trying too hard. The real draw is the relaxed atmosphere and a solid selection of real ales that rotate regularly—staff actually know their stuff. Food-wise, it's unpretentious fare done well, the kind of place you'd pop into on a Tuesday evening and stay longer than planned.
