The Urchin Brewery & Shellfish Pub

You're walking into a place that takes its shellfish seriously without any of the pretension you'd expect. The Urchin has nailed that rare balance of being genuinely good at what it does—fresh oysters, proper prawns, crab—whilst still feeling like your local. The brewery side means you're getting crafted beers that actually pair with the food rather than afterthought bottles. It's the kind of place where Hove locals keep coming back because it works, whether you're here for an hour with a pint or settling in for a proper seafood feast. The room has enough character without trying too hard.
