Georgies

Georgies sits quietly on George Street in Hove, offering a slice of traditional British café life that feels firmly rooted in the local community. This family-run spot carries on the classic English breakfast and Sunday roast traditions without fuss or flair, focusing instead on straightforward, hearty dishes served up in a compact, welcoming space.

The menu is built around familiar staples like the full English breakfast and roast dinners, including a notable chicken roast of the day. If you’re popping in for a midday bite, the jacket potatoes topped with everything from egg mayonnaise to coronation chicken are reliable choices, along with simple children’s meals like fish fingers and chips that nod to families who visit regularly.

Visitors often find the vibe here comfortably unpretentious, with friendly, efficient service that reflects the café’s ongoing relationship with locals. The staff are welcoming rather than formal, and the sudden drop into casual, wallet-friendly dining is a draw for people after solid, no-nonsense meals with decent portions.

Given the café’s modest size, it's best to drop by during weekday mornings or early afternoons to avoid the busiest periods, when regulars, from nearby workers to longtime residents, come in for quick breakfasts or leisurely Sunday roasts. The atmosphere leans towards the nostalgic side—a throwback to simpler times where prices feel just as uninflated as the surroundings.

Cash remains the preferred payment method, which adds to the old-school feel but shouldn’t deter anyone interested in an honest, reasonably priced meal served in a place where you might recognize a few familiar faces. For those wanting a comforting English café experience in Hove, Georgies offers a dependable setting without the pretense.
