Our Guestbook
“ The best food and drink in Hove - a real gem. I went here for my birthday and had a lovely sharing menu. Food (small plates) is well considered and inventive. The wine is excellent - if a little on the pricier side. A great choice for a special occasion - or just a foodie night out with friends. ”
“ We went to Fourth and Church for our second wedding anniversary (we had our wedding reception at Fourth and Church 2 years ago and also went there the evening we got engaged, so is a very special place for us). Every time we have been, we have a wonderful experience and this time was no exception. We always go for the seasonal set menu. The food was delicious and perfectly prepared and presented, and the service was wonderful. We are always made to feel special and the waiter had a great knowledge of the dishes. Couldn't recommend enough and already looking forward to next time! ”

“ Stunning lunch at Fourth and Church yesterday! Five star, fine dining and top notch service.. with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Great value lunch set menu, nice portion size with gorgeous flavours! Our servers Ruby and Peter really knew their stuff! They were both so attentive and second guessed all our needs, offering great advice on wine and even offering a taster on one we’d commented on. They made our day! And the food was next level too. Chef’s kiss! Well done on all your recent awards! Hugely deserved, we shall be back !!! ”
