Sunday roasts at the ancient mariner

PROPER SUNDAY ROASTS IN HOVE.


Made properly, from scratch.

Sunday lunch is one of the highlights of our week — and preparation begins long before Sunday morning. Our gravy starts with stock that is slowly reduced from Wednesday, building up a rich depth of flavour. Everything possible is made in-house by our kitchen team, alongside giant Yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables. We also work with trusted local suppliers wherever possible, including Brighton Sausage Co for our pigs in blankets.


Our Sunday menu.

Our menu changes throughout the year to reflect the seasons and availability, but you’ll usually find a selection of:

Roasts

  • Dry-aged sirloin of beef

  • Pork belly with crackling

  • Brined chicken supreme with pork stuffing

  • Homemade vegetarian Wellington with Brie, or a vegan alternative

  • Homemade nut roast

  • A rotating seasonal roast

Extras

  • Homemade starters and small plates

  • Cauliflower cheese

  • Brighton Sausage Co pigs in blankets

  • Boho Gelato and homemade desserts

Our summer selection may be smaller, and individual dishes vary from week to week.


Booking information.

Booking is recommended throughout the year and essential during our busiest period from September to April.

We cook our roasts fresh each week in limited quantities, so particular options may sell out.
