Can get a very nice Full English breakfast at Cote too……
It really is. Went a couple of weeks ago, never had a bad meal.
Ami in Worthing is excellent.

Rincon De Pepe was good but not the best - certainly worth a visit though as with tapas, it can vary from dish to disk.
Went to level 1 the other Saturday lunchtime. Nice set up (it doesn't feel like you are sat on the edge of a car park / bowling alley) and good views out to sea on a hot day. Some table have shade, some not. Surprisingly, the seagulls didn't seem to be too much of an issue.
Not a huge choice up there. Bison provide the booze, there is Pizzaface, a burger place with limited range and Fika which does coffee and soft drinks but also lite bites. We had the breakfast burger (very good), and Mrs DCH had the tater tots which are not like the US ones (these are more like tapas style crispy potatoes) but big portion. Don't do what I did and order their passion fruit iced tea. I expected a long drink for £3 and got something which was probably only around 100ml.
Overall, it is somewhere different but not great value and much better options around the town.
The Flint House is a great place for cocktails and food. I had an excellent Old Fashioned there.
Yeah good shout. Also the Salt Room who have a bar area to have them before you sit down.
Would have suggested Plateau, who used to have a really good cocktail barman, but alas they've lost some good staff to Brexit and can only serve up a simplified menu currently.

Why oh why oh why?
...and then something to drink afterwards...?

If you can make it to Hove, Fourth & Church is better than all the other recommendations for both food and cocktails. Cracking wine selection too.

Forgot to say that there is also a seafood place up there.

I suspect that [MENTION=34109]Yes Chef[/MENTION] might be able to confirm that it's routine behind the scenes. Certainly used to be in retail.

Personally, I go by the mantra that the customer is seldom right, you just have to let them think they are.
When I can be arsed, that is.

Yup, and if I was being over-polite to a punter, it meant that they were an utter arse.
The Independent liked it

I went to burnt orange last night, not my choice I’m not into small plates, I’ve been to Flint house and Fourth & Church and not overally enjoyed the experience even though the food is excellent just next felt like I had been out for a meal.
Last night however changed all of that. My partner and I went for the burnt orange experience and it was fantastic. The cooking was class excellent and the menu was very balanced. The place was full on a Wednesday night and really enjoyed the vibe in there. We Sat at the bar, although it I went again I would choose a table, not quite like a sitting at the pass experience. However as a result we did have incredible service speaking to the kitchen, bar staff and of course waiting staff. Cocktails were great too. Would highly recommend the El Toro. The set menu was £35 per head we also had a burnt lemon tart between us. Drinks we had 5 cocktails a glass of bubbles and a bottle of wine. Came to around £190 for the both of us.
I have been out a fair bit since restrictions have eased and this was by far the best and most enjoyable experience I’ve had in a long time. Would recommend.
Edit: just read the review above from the independent sounds like we had the same offering. Would agree with everything that is said. The pork Belly for those who have tried it at bincho is on a par if not better as a much bigger portion. Perfectly melt in the mouth chunks. Outstanding.

Second that.
Jay Raynor has also been to Burnt Orange recently

Solid review should see them busy for a while longer

I managed to get halfway through the article before I got bored with the waffle and speed read some of the rest. God, does Rayner go on or what? Absolute load of tosh, at least Grace Dent can do succinct.
Decided to ignore the rest of the review and go straight for their menu, sounds ok although the Hipster style pricing, which leaves the "£" off the price, makes most of the dishes look like they have been scored out of ten.
I got as far as “ heat-blistered sardines with fried bread and an anchovy cream.” before thinking I HAVE TO go to this restaurant.
