[Sussex] What's hot and what's not in Worthing?

[Soton Seagull]

After spending a good few years back in Hove we have bought a place in West Worthing (can't afford Hove!) and are moving later this week. Thought I'd tap up the vast NSC knowledge of all areas and see if there is any advice (accepting it will likely turn in to a moanfest about something completely unrelated by habitual thread disruptors)?

I've had a couple of evenings out to research a few pubs. I'd gladly take pub, restraurant, cafe, bakery and Curry House thoughts (all the important things) and also any local knowledge about where to perhaps avoid after dark! Any hidden gems and good places to go for a stroll, bike ride etc?

Thanks in advance

if you're in West Worthing then you're prob not far from their branch of Flour Pot

plenty going on in Worthing these days...we moved slightly further along the coast but go into Worthing a fair bit (and I do for football)

Flourpot cafe is superb. One on the seafront near Splashpoint and another just up from West Worthing station

I go to the Brookstead before and/or after Worthing games...they always have a good selection of beers (don't think they like the football crowd though)

Crab-shack is nice. Well, it was when I was there last, pre-covid.

Old bike store
Beer No evil
Bottle & jug
Hand brew pub and taproom (latter in west Worthing)

Shafiques or Mahaan for curry.

AMI Bistro, best restaurant in Worthing.

Crab shack okay.

For more traditional pubs - Corner House & Egremont are ok. Corner House roasts are good, as are the Gun at Findon

Yamu Yamu for superb affordable Japanese/Korean dishes. Plenty more on that strip, Montague St, like Malt Cafe. good Mexican/mescal bar there too.

Hare and Hounds is a very decent traditional pub, does very good freshly prepared food.

If you're lucky, you might see Richie Reynolds hosting a pub quiz.

Crudo. Which is nice. Salsa Viva also a good Mexican

There was a bit of a locals Worthing resurgence a few years back and I went along a tried a few of the recommendations and came away seriously unimpressed. I have to say though that in the last couple of years Worthing has really changed my opinion.

Some seriously quirky places to drink. For craft the Old Bike store is very good and Level 1 hit and miss. The Anchored, Brookstead, Toad in the Hole and Green Man would form the basis of an excellent ale crawl especially if you add the likes of the Selden Arms and the Corner House.

The two Kenny Tutt restaurants have added quality food and first rate service, even if the menus could be a little more adventurous for my taste. The expanded Crab shack is a top spot for seafood and if you really want to treat yourself for breakfast Perch on the Pier is awesome for the view (minus half a point for the plastic foliage) Mahaan and Om Taste of Nepal are both recommended and I am interested in trying out the newish Mexican place Crudo.

Unless you are going to see the latest FX blockbuster the Dome is a wonderful cinema and great value for money.

Worthing really has the feel of a place on the way up, which is quite something in these difficult times.
