Arundel Restaurant in Worthing

Absolutely love it here. Such a lovely idea. Brilliant food. Great price.

My Dad & I went to Arundel Restaurant at Northbrook College for lunch just over a week ago for the first time. We were instantly greeted & seated by Penny. The restaurant is immaculately clean, chairs were very comfortable & tables were nicely presented - all cutlery was laid out the same distance apart etc. Arundel restaurant do kindly offer alternatives if you don't eat meat or have allergies etc. We emailed Penny to say neither of us eat meat (we're pescatarians) so Penny informed us that our main would be Haddock Florentine. I apologised to Penny that I somehow initially missed seeing the email re letting her know about alternatives & so I only replied 2 days before our booking, but they were still able to accommodate this, of which we were really grateful. A young lady called Crystal came straight over to introduce herself & offer us water. Then another young lady came over very quickly to take our drinks order & she brought them over after a few minutes, but actually apologised for the delay! We knew there were 12-15 people at the bar at the time, so we actually thought it was very quick considering! We were then very prompty given some bread rolls too. For starters, we had the Cream of Cucumber & the Fish Goujons. The Cream of Cucumber came out very hot, which Crystal did warn us about this a couple of times. We both thought it was great the kitchen was getting food out to so many people still piping hot! The Cucumber was very tasty. The Fish Goujons were delicious - crispy costing & the tartare sauce is the nicest one we've ever tasted. The salad was very fresh. Our Haddock Florentine was brought out with a side dish of rice & vegetables; the rice was cooked perfectly. The vegetables were very fresh & still had a bit of a crunch to them. The Haddock was incredibly tasty! The fish was falling apart & the cheese sauce & spinach were absolutely delicious. Again, this was piping hot & we were warned about this a couple of times when our dishes were brought out. For dessert we both had the Dark Chocolate Bavarois with caramelised oats & raspberry couli. This was absolutely divine! The chocolate was rich & very smooth, the couli was really delicious & wasn't too tart & the oats added a nice contrast of something a bit crunchy as the chocolate is soft. All dishes were brought out promptly & with generous portions. The service was quite quick & food was brought out very hot. All of the staff were lovely, friendly, professional, very pleasant & always had a smile on their face. Crystal in particular was attentive, very polite & a lovely young woman. In-between courses, Crystal came over to brush any crumbs off the table; we were impressed with the attention to detail - we've been to a few fine dining restaurants & none of them have done this. All 3 courses were £15pp including a tea or coffee at the end, so this is exceptional value. The food & service were fantastic & we'll definitely go again soon. I highly recommend going if you haven't already.

We went for Burns Night and it was excellent

We come here frequently to have a really lovely dining experience, this time was a Christmas meal, I have fishcakes to start, Christmas Dinner and pavalova as a dessert For the price you can't get anything anywhere else, I highly recommend the food and your supporting the students There is set days Tuesday and Thursdays, either at lunchtime or evenings, we came in the evening, you need to be there for 6.30 for the service to finish, you'll be there until at least 8 o'clock, understandably service is slow as there students but your there for the whole dining experience and much cheaper than any other restaurant so be prepared for the slow service, but you will be looked after and have a lovely time. Please do support our future waiter's/waitress and chefs in there step on the catering ladder

Really lovely experience and great to support the students. They really worked hard and it was wonderful to see the line up at the end. Enjoyable experience and good price.

We were very impressed with the food, service and ambience. We both had duck for our main course which was tender, delicious and nicely presented. The students do a great job. We weren't sure what to expect and were really pleased and will definitely go back. Great value for money.

We booked the "Meal & Theatre" deal with a group of friends and had a lovely evening. Run by college students the restaurant was welcoming, waiting staff attentive & friendly and the food was all really nicely presented & tasted great. A choice of 3 main courses and two desserts, with tea/coffee for £10 set price. Extensive drinks menu to order from separately. Gluten free and vegetarian was catered for. The restaurant was full which says it all. It was a little bit rushed at the end to get us out in time for the show but not a problem. And the show was great too! Well done to the College for running this restaurant so well.

Worthwhile visit to see how the next generation of caterers are developing. Good food very reasonable price

Wonderful experience, beautiful meals, always different,staff so helpful and cheerful. Been afew times, and will be back!. thank you.

Well worth the money and learning experience for the students

Excellent food , cooked and served by students.

Wonderful to let the students practice their skills on the public, lovely food, well served

It was our first visit to the Arundel restaurant and we enjoyed it. It is part of a restaurant training college course and the young waiters and waitresses did well as it was full up so quite busy. There is a bar selling beer,wine and soft drinks. They do a set menu on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. You need to check if they are doing lunch or dinner on the day you want to go. The menu was very good and everything was nicely presented and was very reasonably priced for 3 courses. There were no children dining on the night we were there.

Hadn't been for a while, as we felt the menu was getting repetitive, which I fully understand when students are training to cook and serve. This Christmas visit was lovely, felt a completely new experience with the choices. Our waitress was very bubbly and friendly, still learning but huge potential. Part of the experience is to give feedback to the students - be positive, they are doing a great job, remember to sandwich your feedback, good feedback, learning advice and more feedback. Keep these guys and girls enthusiastic.

Had a lovely meal at the restaurant today. The quality of the food and service was excellent and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Visited with a group. Good choice of food but the fish main spoilt by being served with mushy Pak choi, steamed or boiled whole! I noticed other diners left this on their plates also. Thank you for the excellent service and the brown rolls were delicious.☺ I'm sure we'll make a return visit.

Superb teamwork led by a professionals enables catering students at this college to prepare and serve outstanding food at a very reasonable price. If you are happy to encourage and support young people ,beginning their careers in catering or hospitality. this is a place not to be missed! It certainly gave us great pleasure to find our waiter, who started rather nervously, soon relaxed and it was great to get a warm friendly smile. We found there was an exciting choice of dishes on the three course lunchtime menu. As an indicator of the high standards vegetables cooked and served to al dente perfection.

Very good ambiance for a cattering college. Food good. Students work hard and are well supervised

Excellent food and a bargain price. Served by students it is a great experience Very enjoyable and totally recommended

First experience of Arundel restaurant at Northbrook College. Very good food and service from the students. Would go again

Excellent, food was good as was the service. Very good value.

This is run by supervised students who are training to be serving staff and cooks. A little slow at times due to learning but excellent food at all times and reasonable costs. Love going here.

An attractive restaurant where prices are extremely good as here students are learning the trade.

The restaurant is based in the college with the students waiting on customers as part of their course of study. They can be nervous and even make mistakes, but you go to the restaurant with this understanding. The students try so hard and are ably managed by tutors. The food is fantastic and very brilliant value considering the very high quality. Definitely will be going back.

A restaurant run by students training in both the front of house and the kitchen. Overseen by tutors delivering first class service, food & drink to their diners. Well worth a visit.

El más barato billetes de entrada en el castillo dará acceso a la cafetería y el restaurante. Después de un día agotador de trepa a la catedral y el castillo, nos decantamos por una comida en el restaurante. Este es el castillo propiamente dicho y un poco como un refectorio del castillo. Nuestra quiche es muy fresca y sabrosa (si no es lo los caballeros de viejo pueden haber comido! Y es acompañado por un generoso sirven de hortalizas macizos en el verdadero estilo castillo. Hay un ascensor para esta primera planta local. El lugar es bastante concurrido, incluso para esta época del año. Que hacer cola en el mostrador para colocar nuestro pedido, pero el servicio es amable.

It has been over two years since I ate lunch at the restaurant in Northbrook College and like the last time, was really impressed. There has been a great many changes not only to the College but the restaurant as well over this period - new furniture, redesign of the restaurant and table layouts. The last time I went it was also for a Christmas lunch so when the group I belong to suggested we go to Northbrook College for our Christmas lunch this year was more than eager to taste the food again! I certainly was not disappointed. There were 14 of us and we had all pre-ordered our food but skillfully all three courses were presented to us all at the same time, the food on all our plates looked good enough to eat (and it was!) with more than enough hot vegetables to go around. Everyone involved with the restaurant are students learning their trade - as this was the first term silver service had not been taught but book next term and they will be applying their skills! Three courses plus coffee and a mince pie for £18.00 - what is there not to like! The food was excellent, on a par with many good restaurants in Worthing, the service was attentive even if things like serving spoons were forgotten! That is to be expected - everyone has to learn and I would recommend anyone wanting an excellent meal, served by students who want to achieve to book in advance and try for yourselves - you won't be disappointed.

Amazing quality food, served by very friendly staff (Northbrook students). Sticky pudding was the nicest I have ever had. Highly recommended. Will definitely visit again. Great value for money. Book your table in advance as it can get busy.

40 of us took over the whole restaurant. It has been reorganised since last year and for the better. The waiters were all but one dressed identically and looked good. Menu was excellent as far as my choices were concerned but a few chose something they did not realise that it would be pink inside. Drinks were relatively inexpensive and the whole cost including our contribution to student funds totally inexpensive. If you enjoy being looked after by students, the future of our tourist industry, them this is the place for you.

We booked the Arundel restaurant for the 2 nd of March and on recommendation and what a pleasent lunch time 3 course meal with coffee and mints we had,this establishment is part of the Worthing college with the meals cooked by student/trainee chefs and waited on by students who are going into the hospitality business. Under the supervision of head chef and tutors these young people are going a long way. The silver service was above more that we expected with an excellent menu choice to suite. You need to book a few weeks in advance as Numbers are limited to allow tutors to supervise students. takE our word and try this establishment.

Brilliant three course meal with coffee and mints served and prepared by students. Almost worthy of a Michelin star. The food was excellent, well cooked, hot and tasty, the students served us politely and efficiently and they should go far. They were all well supervised and responded well.

Our club makes an annual visit and we all dress up as if it was a five star establishment as this is where many of the students hope to go after achieving their qualifications. The venue itself is excellent with a good car park and once you settle into the bar after walking through a very active and mixed college you realise this. The students serve the drinks, take the meal orders and serve the three course meal (under silver salvers with each table served simultaneously. Other students prepare the food behind the scenes. You are warned that your choice of three items a course may have already been allocated to others in your party as they are an educational establishment and do not have the budget to cater for waste but we have never found this a problem. There is always a staff supervisor to help in case of problems (and the mark the students!). They are open for lunch during term time on Wednesdays and Fridays and dinner on Thursdays. Lunch is less than £13 an head and we always make a donation to student funds and ask all the students including those in the kitchen to assemble in the dining room for thanks at the end. It is so popular in our club that we now have two events a year to accommodate all. If you accept the concept you will have an excellent time. It will take reservations for small numbers, possible only two. Note that the stars take into account that it is a college.

Such a wonderful experience from start to finish, all the staff are very attentive , the food was absolutely delicious , our waitress was such a lovely girl, her name was Zoe , would recommend the this to anyone.

Fuimos para una Navidad reunirse en un grupo. Nos recibió una simpática estudiante que llevamos nuestros abrigos y colocó en el guardarropa. Los estudiantes era servicial y cortés, el servicio era muy bueno y la comida excelente. 16 libras por tres campos de deliciosa comida bien presentada seguido de café y menta. Toda la noche fue muy agradable y sin duda volveremos y lo recomiendo encarecidamente si quieres clase alta comida y servicio a un precio razonable.

Had a lovely evening at the Arundel Room Restaurant with friends. It is a training restaurant and the standards are kept very high. The service was friendly and efficient and the food excellent value at £16.00 for a three course meal including appetisers and coffee. All courses were beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Good menu choices. Only gripe that at such a place there must be some fantastic artwork that could adorn the walls! Definitely highly recommended.

We ate at the Arundel Restaurant. situated in Northbrook College, for our second christmas get together.£15 for three courses, finished with coffee and mints. All the food is prepared, cooked and served by the resident students, overseen by professional chefs and silver service waiting staff.We started with seared tuna with egg and capons, which was beautifully presented. Mains was salmon with a prawn sauce, smashed new potatoes with mince, and accompanied by seasonal veg. Dessert was walnut steamed pudding with a heavenly sauce.I would defy anyone to visit the restaurant, and not come away thinking this is high class restaurant standard food. I had to pinch myself to believe this delicious meal only cost £15!!

Visited the Arundel Room Restaurant with friends. I found the service very good with good attention to detail all done in a friendly manner. The food was very good, beautiful presentation and very tasty. I would highly recommend you visit.
