38 / 50
Hove Place
Cost: £10.00 + £1.00 filling
Reviewed: 28/03/2014
We kicked off our adventures with much anticipation and a little trepidation at Hove Place on First Avenue. Greg would have you all believe that this is establishment is possibly the finest in all Christendom, but I'm reliably informed he did the rebranding, so if you hear him bigging up the place, take it with a pinch of salt ;)
Anyway, it was a homely little place with very friendly staff. The three of us (Stuart hadn't joined the team yet) particularly enjoyed it though Tristan isn't a fan of this whole "let's put the chips in things that are impossible to eat them with a fork from" trend that seems to be sweeping pubs and restaurants across the nation. Note to all eatery establishments: just put them on a plate and keep him happy, please.
The burger itself was a hand minced short rib and chuck beef burger with a homemade mayo, salad and pickled red onion filling, alongside hand cut chips and apple coleslaw. For an extra £1, Greg and Dan (not Trist, of course) added some crispy pancetta and blue cheese. Yummy!
The scores for Hove Place's burger offerings are below - a comfortable and solid performance and a great start to our challenge.

Accessibility
Accessibility-wise, Hove Place is not particularly well set for wheelchair users as they are at basement level with a staircase down front entrance. There is rear access through the garden and the manager mentioned that their staff are always happy to help with access down the stairs.
As this is Brighton & Hove, parking is pretty limited although there are pay and display bays close by.
The patty delivery device is an integral part of your burger enjoyment. How did the bun stand up to our testing process?

This is that super subjective thing that makes each review unique. That something special about the experience.
