Hove Food Trail is back this July

Eat + Drink

After a year’s hiatus, the Hove Food Trail is back for 2025, even bigger and better, and we now know what’s on the menu.

Set up by Cin Cin owner David Toscano and city councillor Chris Henry to take food lovers on a gastronomic tour of some of Hove’s finest dining destinations, the very first event took place in 2023. And this year, they’ve teamed up with Restaurants Brighton.

So how does it work? Essentially, you snap up a voucher for £15 and that gets you an exclusive special – – at one of the 12 fantastic participating Hove restaurants (Cin Cin, Wild Flor, Fourth and Church, Fatto A Mano, Oeuf, Coconut Island, Chilli Restaurant Hove, Market, Shoreline Coffee + Kitchen, Little Fish Market and Ginger Pig). You need one pass for each special/restaurant you’d like to visit.

On to the specials, let’s dive in:
