We’ve spent many years honing and perfecting THE party season at Hove Place!
Whether you are looking for a small intimate gathering or larger more traditional Christmas Party, we can accommodate most types of event.
Our two & three course Christmas menus and Festive buffets are super popular and add a seasonal twist onto our regular upmarket pub dishes.
With the inside being sectioned into three main areas, the pub is ideal for small or mid-size bookings and for those bigger groups our outside Marquee gets ‘Festivisized’ with an extensive, yet classy, decorations and Christmas vibes. Packages can include mulled drinks, Christmas inspired cocktails and, depending on the date, occasional live music.
We ALWAYS sell out early for our Christmas Day package. For 2026 we are offering three sittings and demand is very high. We recognise our Christmas Day menu is on the expensive side which is why all our effort goes into making sure the environment, service and most importantly the food is of such a high standard that it represents value for money, and who can put a price on not having to do all that washing up!?
Whatever your needs this coming Christmas, we hope to see you at Hove Place sometime!
