About Carne Hove

Carne Hove is a steak house and cocktail bar at 63 Church Rd in Hove, run by local chef Phil Bartley. The kitchen builds its menus around high-welfare meats, sustainable south coast fish and local farm produce. Steak leads the menu, with porterhouse and ribeye among the cuts, and beef tartare is offered as a starter. The bar mixes cocktails, including Bloody Marys, and a wine list sits beside them. Roasts come with gravy on the side, and the kitchen also serves brunch and a separate lunch menu. Waiters at the table make drink and dessert recommendations. Mains can take a while to arrive when the room is busy.

Customer Review Summary

Steak is the draw most reviewers return to, with the porterhouse, ribeye and sirloin all described as cooked perfectly, and the roast garlic butter sauce and Parmesan beef dripping fries singled out alongside. Close behind are the beef tartare, miso cabbage, bone marrow dishes, ox doughnuts and prawns, with strawberry cheesecake and passionfruit and pistachio macarons for dessert. Cocktails draw repeated praise, including Bloody Marys and drinks the bartender created, and a Spanish wine and a sparkling are each called a standout. Staff are described as friendly, attentive and good with recommendations, and the room as cozy with low lighting. The main complaint is timing. One diner waited a long stretch for mains with no warning about a party in the venue and no complimentary bread, calling the food great but the service not great. Another noted a bit of a wait for mains but felt it was worth it. One reviewer also found it a bit pricey. One diner who ran out of gravy with a sirloin was given extra.

    “I had an excellent experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a stylish yet welcoming atmosphere, with a beautifully designed interior that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. The service was one of the highlights of the evening. The staff were friendly, attentive and happy to make recommendations throughout the meal. Thank you Nic!!! Every dish was beautifully presented and cooked perfectly, with high-quality ingredients that really stood out. The wine selection complements the menu exceptionally well, and the dessert was the perfect way to round off the experience. I would definitely recommend Carne to anyone who appreciates great steak, outstanding service and a fantastic dining atmosphere in Hove. I'll certainly be returning.”

    “Had a fantastic meal. The miso cabbage was an absolute standout and the beef tartare was excellent. A special mention to Nick, who looked after us all evening. He was an absolute star! He also recommended a fantastic sparkling that I would come back for on its own. Great food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.”
  • Jazmin Justice
    “The food was excellent, one of the best tartars I’ve had, as well as the cheesecake as it was very flavourful very creamy which I loved. The macarons were passionfruit and pistachio flavour and they were one of the best ones I’ve tried. The steak was cooked to perfection and was very good alongside the roast garlic butter sauce, the Parmesan beef dripping fries were very soft and fluffy yet also crispy. Ultimately we got a Spanish wine which was one of the best ones I’ve tried. Overall the experience was lovely as the restaurant has very nice low lighting which makes it feel very cozy and the food was amazing however it is a bit pricey”
