The Poets Ale and Smokehouse

About

The Poets Ale and Smokehouse is a modern British pub in Poets corner, Hove. We are a family & dog friendly pub at the heart of the local community, serving up delicious food & drink 7-days a week.

We’re proud to offer something a cut above your average pub fare. We have a mouth-watering selection of dishes from our wood fired smoker alongside pub classics, daily specials, traditional Sunday roasts and our kids menu. We've got something for meat-eaters, vegetarians & vegans and gluten-free guests to enjoy.

Behind the bar you’ll find a pristine selection of cellar cool Harvey’s Ales, draught beers, wines and spirits on offer alongside our ever-popular cocktail bowls. We also serve a selection of hot drinks to keep you toasty over the winter.

We show a great range of live sports coverage throughout the year, offering a welcoming atmosphere to enjoy the sports with great food and a nice pint. We also have a cosy snug area, upstairs lounge and beer garden with covered seating. Drop in for a pint soon and come and see what all the fuss is about.

Since July 4th 2020, The Poets team has been working hard to make your trip to the pub a safe, welcoming experience during these troubling times. We have NHS test & trace at our sign-in desk, table-screens, hand sanitiser stations, one-way systems and table service from our friendly face-masked staff. We also offer take-away roasts on a Sunday so that you can still enjoy a taste of what we do, in the comfort of your own home.
