The Hanover - Brighton and Hove

I am amazed to see any negative reviews about the food at this restaurant on this site. While children can be a bit of a nuisance, especially when their parents let them run wild, the food for adults at this restaurant is top-notch. I have always thought their pizzas were the best in Brighton, if not everywhere. Recently, I went there for Sunday roast with a group of friends and it was absolutely fantastic. The portions were huge - I felt like I had half a cow on my plate! The mixed meat roast was also delicious and the vegetables were plentiful. Despite being tempted by the dessert menu, we were all too full to indulge. The drinks were a bit pricey for a non-city center restaurant, but the food was affordable and of excellent quality.

I frequently visit this restaurant alone or with a friend, and I have been working my way through the menu. So far, everything has been delicious, especially the pizza, burger, and roast. The student and NHS discount is a nice touch, and the staff are friendly. It is a local, traditional pub with no gimmicks, lots of space, and a comfortable atmosphere for a solo woman. I have taken my grandchildren here, and they have a nice menu for kids. Overall, it is very child-friendly.

We ordered the roast turkey, and while the meat and potatoes were decent, the gravy, vegetables, and Yorkshire pudding were disappointing. The vegetables and gravy tasted like they had been cooked in vinegar, and the Yorkshire pudding seemed stale. It's not easy to mess up a Sunday roast, but Hanover managed to do so. I don't think we'll be returning anytime soon.

4 adults and a toddler dinner out at The Hanover, Queens Park Road Brighton. 3 of us opted for a sirloin steak with home cut chips, a lovely mixed salad, onion rings and peppercorn or butter sauce while my son had a massive burger meal with chips and salad plus a 2 course child special of pasta then ice cream. The meal was lovely, steaks cooked as ordered and lovely and tender. Would definitely recommend the food and service was excellent.

Went for a meal while visiting my daughter. The food was awful, the cutlery needed a good wash. The place was in need of a good clean and a splash of paint. Wouldn't recommend the place!
