Third Avenue

I was kindly invited down to try the upgraded @thirdavenuehove which has had a bit of a facelift and is under new management!

Haven’t been here in a while and with it’s changing concepts over the years I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pleasantly impressed and really enjoyed our visit

The venue is stunning and it’s clear there has been a massive investment in the restaurant/ cocktail bar to make it look really beautiful. We went for dinner and it did feel a little bright in the room (great for taking pictures!) but not so much for the ambiance that I think could have been a little more evening dinner vibe

The menu is an array of small plates to share and everything is made in house including the delicious focaccia and hummus we had to start with

We tried a few dishes from the menu and was really impressed with the presentation and quality of all the food. We really enjoyed the pork belly skewers and Burrata dish, washed down with some very well made cocktails too (which this place has always done very well). It was a very enjoyable meal!

We finished with a crème brûlée that we shared and an Espresso Martini which was the perfect end to our meal. I think this place has really improved compared to my previous visits and is definitely worth a try for some great small plates and cocktails in the heart of Hove

The venue also has a small club room downstairs which is good for private hire and I believe they will be opening it on weekends if you fancy a bit of a boogy without heading into Brighton! Thanks for the invite guys, I look forward to coming back again soon!

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
