The Wick Inn

You're walking down Western Road in Hove and duck into The Wick Inn expecting the usual boozer—except this place has got its act together. It's got that comfortable, lived-in feel of a pub that regulars have claimed as their own, with enough character to keep things interesting without trying too hard. The kind of spot where you'll find a decent pint, proper food that doesn't pretend to be something it isn't, and a mix of locals who've been coming for years mixed with newer faces discovering it. No frills, no gimmicks—just a good pub doing what good pubs do.
