Baked

We recently revisited one of Hove’s original brunch spots, @bakedhove , and after years away, I was reminded of just how fantastic it is!

The menu is extensive, offering a range of classic brunch favourites alongside some creative twists. For example, the full English was served with waffles instead of toast (is chosen) —a unique touch my husband couldn’t resist. I opted for the Feta Eggs, which came with avocado and pesto- with the added extra of mini hash browns, this is was basically all my favourite things on a plate, so it was an easy choice for me. The kids’ menu is also impressive, and the pancakes were a huge hit with our little ones, who have now decided that maple syrup should be part of every meal!

The coffee, made with @tradingpostcoffeeroasters beans, was excellent, rich and perfectly blended. It was lovely to see the place bustling, and even after all these years, Baked hasn’t lost its spark. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the sunny weather meant there were diners enjoying the little outdoor balcony area, which added to the lively atmosphere. For those wondering about space, there’s also additional seating downstairs, so while it might look small from the outside, there’s plenty of room to dine in.

All in all, I won’t wait so long to return next time. Baked is a true gem and a wonderful testament to Hove’s iconic brunch scene!
