5 favourite Worthing pubs?

[Goring Gull]

I am living in Worthing at the moment seems ok to me, as regards it being a shithole you have not had the pleasure of some of the places I have resided in over the years.

I thgought Worthing was agreat place to grow up and i was always on the town from 94/95 onwards up until about 4/5 years ago when i moved over to Lewes then up North.

As for more lowlifes and Chavs i think a - its the same for anywhere and B- you notice it more as you get older.

It frightens me that I my younger days I happily drank in some of the pubs other have bad memories about namely - Downview, Clifton and the Ham.

The Ham's still a shit hole and as ruff as f*** even though it went through an image change to the Smugglers Return.

Someone told me it is much better in there now it has had a makeover, I was going to pay it a visit before I ride off into the sunset again, give it a miss I think.

Give the whole of East Worthing a Miss.

What?

You mean the Dolphin or the Merry Monk or the Joyful Whippet wouldn't be on your list of 'must go to' pubs?

Didn't the Bristol and West building society on Chapel Road used to be a pub... The ship or something, before my time but i remeber my Dad saying something about it.

Yes,yes it did.

Yes I played football with the govenors son Nicky Haslam I think his name was.

Yeah - used to be owned by two young blokes and had a lot of good bands on in the early nineties. See previous posts - someone mentioning about the loos and nearly falling down them. I'd forgotten about that!

not to someone from Lancing - they tend to have a habit of calling it East Worthing, so I reckons I gets away with it.

You know - in the same way that Durrington is now Lower Salvington! Apparently that's what people tell my taxi driver brother where to go!

Not me. Lived in Lancing all my life.

(Can't wait to get out of it mind. )

In the early 1980s I used to drink in Worthing quite a bit at a pub almost directly opposite the main station. A bit rough but a good laugh. I remember it had a pinball table in the Public bar.

I've been racking my brains to try and remember what its called. Can anyone help me?

Also, can anyone remember a REALLY dodgy dive called the Horn of Plenty?

You missed out The Kings Arms which was always good for a scrap in the 60s.

IT never re-opened after that monumental punch up in the sixties did it ?

Not that I remember . far to young

I was in one in there during the 60s when a 'lady ' I was seeing started going out with one of the Does and they got the hump about me.

Now water under the bridge but brings back memories.
