Suggestions for Andy Murray's weekend in Worthing...

[Pavilionaire]

I see the BBC is reporting that Andy Murray has been invited to visit the seaside resort by the official town crier, Bob Smytherman.

Given that the original quote referred to Murray being duller than a WEEKEND in Worthing it stands to reason that a mere daytime visit by the great man would not constitute a weekend and therefore he'd have to overnight in Sussex's second metropolis in order to lay the ghost to rest.

I suggest a few frames of snooker Slick Willie's Snooker Hall, a meal at the China Palace, a couple of cocktails at Tangerine, disco action at One Club Retro Bar then crash out at The Burlington Hotel. What's not to like about THAT?!?

Good publicity for Worthing it would have cost a lot more for an advert.

Is Rutherford's night club or it's successor still going on Worthing pier? If it is, worth a visit Andy (but don't tell the wife) ... #pulltastic

There are good places to eat in Worthing, but pubs and club wise forget it.

One club is the biggest dump in town. Bar 10 is shocking. Bar release is merely tolerable on the basis of the cheap cocktails.

Forget a night on the town in Worthing. Utter crap.

Shall we just clear this up once and for all.
Murray did not say that Worthing is dull or boring. What part of that are people not understanding.
It was an article and its more about reputation sometimes undeserved but it sticks.
Worthing and Bexhill are boring.
Tunbridge Wells is full of disgusted people.
And Slough is such a dump that it needs a bomb dropped on it, according to a poem. (that one is accurate though)

The Osmond's at the Assembly Hal but I think he might have missed that gem

We know that Raleigh, the story has moved on. The Vintner's Parrot beckons...

Rutherford's is long gone. It's now a thriving live music venue and daytime cafe.

Disappointing news had many happy memories there. There was one by the station (west worthing?) as I recall do you know if that is still going?

If you mean the club attached to Chapman's/Grand Central It is still there although not sure what sort of state it's in these days.

Avoid Worthing at all cost.

The Corner House is getting some really good reviews for the Food and as a pub.

Plenty to do and enjoy in Worthing - I'd suggest most people's dismissive comments are based on a view of the town that's way out of date. It's changed a lot in the last few years: plenty of decent music, comedy and theatre on, some nice restaurants, Worthing football and rugby on the up, some decent coffee shops, pubs that serve good beer, and plenty of community events. Can't comment on the club scene - was never into that even when I was young enough

A tour of the kebab and burger bars that proliferate around the station and Clifton Road followed by a beer in the Cobden will convince.

I'm sure he could hold out for Bros, or Shawaddywaddy.

How about a sleep-over?

Not Worthing but just up the road in Lancing - if he picks his weekend he could go and watch the mighty Albion Ladies play at Culver Road.

Last time I was in the Cobden they looked at me and my partner like I had just kicked their dog up the bum, very welcoming. I also had to sit on a very low chair whilst my partner sat on a very high chair with a tiny little table in between. If Andy goes, he could sit in the high chair and pretend he was in charge for once.

I agree about the Kebab houses around the station though, they're top notch after several pints

Chapman sold his string of pubs but after 10 years i believe he owns the Alehouse next to Bar 10, may even own Bar 10.
Brews beer in the Alehouse pub, £2-50 for a nice pint of ale and choices, and a free pint after 8 have been brought.

A visit to the wet fish stall on the beach would be right up his street.
