The Urchin

About

The Urchin Pub in Hove offers a relaxed seaside dining experience where fresh shellfish and its own Larrikin beer take centre stage. With a welcoming bar overlooking the harbour, guests can sip craft beers, savour oysters, prawns and classic British pub fare while enjoying live music nights that bring a lively dockyard ambiance to the venue. The pub’s layout balances a casual bar area, a cosy restaurant dining room and a shaded garden terrace – the latter especially popular during the summer months. Dog‑friendly policies for the garden and bar make it a convenient spot for pet‑owners, while the restaurant remains a dog‑free destination for those seeking a quieter dining experience. In addition to the regular menu, The Urchin hosts an array of special events such as its annual Oyster Feast and charming street‑party celebrations that draw crowds from across the region. The onsite micro‑brewery offers a rotating selection of Larrikin ales and stouts, ensuring guests can enjoy a pure, freshly hopped experience alongside their meal. With a mix of family‑friendly seating, live music and a prime location on Hove’s coastal strip, the pub has earned a reputation as a go‑to destination for both locals and visitors. The pub’s commitment to quality is evident in its kitchen scheduling, which opens daily except Mondays and provides additional lunch windows during peak months. With a friendly staff, free Wi‑Fi, wheelchair access and a mid‑range price point, The Urchin delivers a balanced blend of sea‑side charm and culinary delight.
