The Arcades Fish Restaurant in Worthing

Look jo further! Excellent fish and chips. Incredible coffee. Outstanding service. All round great experience. Happy days :)

Halloumi to start (on the side) with battered sausage and chips for main followed by tiramisu for dessert. No complaints regarding the service, restaurant or food. All good. Decent prices, portion sizes and opening hours.

Amazing fresh seafood, perfect service, great value for money, generous portions, lovely sides. Best meal out in ages

My partner and I have been here a few times and it's always the most delicious fish/seafood we've had. We had the fish platter for two which is £70 but well worth the money, especially for a treat. Amazing service and just a really friendly atmosphere. Thank you!

Four of us went here before going to the theatre. We knew it was goi g to be more expensive than one of the chippies around the corner. Lovely atmosphere and friendly service. However, the cod was probably the smallest piece we’ve ever had anywhere yet was £13.50 (£14.85 inc mandatory tip) Not super hot and not a great portion of chips either. My salmon fillet was very nice with boiled rice and a salad and again not overly cheap at £17.00 (£18.70 inc mandatory tip). Our son’s burger was very good and a decent size and he seemed to have some of my wife’s chips as his portion was far better. Overall, not bad, nice atmosphere but not convinced the extra cost compared to other fish restaurants (not chippies) is justified. £89 was a lot of money for what we had. As they say “you pay your money you take your choice”. Our choice will be somewhere else in future.

Good location. Had the pensioners special lunch including tea or coffee, enough fish and chips and a pudding too. Reasonable price although there is a sneaky service charge of 10%.

Very clean and tidy, efficient and friendly staff and the food was very tasty. The Haddock was extremely good. Would thoroughly recommend

My wife and I went there for lunch on Mother's Day. The restaurant was full and busy with a lively atmosphere. We were welcomed by name at the door ( by the owner I think), who had anticipated our arrival (a very nice touch), and he showed us to our table. All of the staff were friendly, courteous and professional. The food was excellent, both in quality and price. We spent a very nice couple of hours over a leisurely lunch, and it was all the more enjoyable knowing we weren't going to have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it. We're definitely going back.

I lived in Worthing many years ago and I ate here many times over the decades when it was the Connaught Corner Restaurant. Then it became Harry Ramsden’s for a while and it was awful. We visited today with our granddaughter for a late lunch of fish and chips. It was fabulous! The staff are very friendly, the service excellent, the fish and chips first class, and the restaurant is spotlessly clean. Beautifully cooked fish, really good size portions, with lovely chips and mushy peas. And good value for money. All kudos to the family who own and manage the restaurant, it’s great. We’ll be back soon.

Dissappointed Heard it was good went in ordered the ober 60s Meal wish i had gone to the Fish and Chip Shop too many chips batter tasteless gew cold musy pras in a pot no condiments on Table wont be back. Then the audacity to charge a Service Charge

Never again weird looking Batter on fish should be Crispy too many Chips a small pot of Mushy Peas which were cold then you get charged Service Charge wont see me there again i will go to another restaurant in Worthing where the Food is good and you dont get charged for Service if i wont to give a tip i do

Absolutely lovely food, and very helpful friendly service. Highly recommended. The restaurant is attractive and sparkling clean. Excellent location. The fish and chips was fabulous. Really fresh fish with perfectly cooked chips, and lots of them! Companions had the sea bass and sardines and praised them highly too. Massive slice of delicious tiramisu to finish. The whole evening was made even nicer by the lovely waiter, who looked after us beautifully but also gave us space and didn't rush us. Will be back soon

Quite honestly the most amazing food I have ever tried. Excellent quality. The food was cooked to perfection and with every single bite a new experience. The Chef was on point with every tasting. A truly incredible night supported by an even more amazing hostess. A must place to visit for any food fanatic.

Really nice place to have a meal. We have been a few times and each time the staff have really been lovely and friendly. The food is always fresh, the dishes are reasonably priced and the restaurant itself is nicely decorated. It's also in a great location, directly opposite the pier. If anyone is into their fish and seafood then this restaurant is definitely a place to visit. I highly recommend them⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great food and good service. We would be back.

Eaten here a few times now and the service and food has always been brilliant. My mum has a wheelchair and they always make room and allowances for it. Staff are always friendly and polite. One of the best chippys in worthing.

I’ve been here several times and we have always been served a lovely plate of food, staff are friendly. Great restaurant!

Very nice restaurant. Extensive fish menu, including some nice Mediterranean options. Reasonable prices, and friendly and efficient service. Will definitely visit again when next in Worthing.

The best fish and chips we have had in a very long time! Lovely fresh fish with crisp batter and chips. The light sprinkling of herbs lifted the flavour. I would definitely recommend .

Excellent fish and chips, great service made to feel comfortable, nothing too much trouble, will come again.

Great place for fish and chips and great value for money especially the over 60s menu.

One of the best haddock and chips I've ever had! Light batter on the fish, amazing crunchy chips, huge portions. Friendly service, great prices, a bright and airy atmosphere. The Arcades is a real find - keep up the great work!

Called in one cold January afternoon looking to eat, because our chosen restaurant was closed. Very ordinary meal, small portions and no personal service. Ordered a bottle of wine which was a very ordinary brand and very poor. From ordering food to being delivered took about under 10 minutes which always makes me aware how it’s cooked. No service in asking if everything was ok and no follow up asking us if was wanted a dessert. Overall very poor and will not be going back

I ate here with my son on a Sunday evening. It was so lovely and the food perfect. We had the fish and chips. The fish was the best we have ever had. Only constructive feedback is our plates were cleared and nobody came to check if we wanted hot drinks or puds. But that’s a small thing in what was overall a lovely meal. We will be back. Thanks.

Came here again for a "60's Special Lunch" with my wife, which is served between 11.30 and 15.00. This is fish & chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce followed by either bread & butter pudding with custard or ice cream and then either tea or filter coffee. The portion size is adequate and really good value for money. It also tastes great as well. The staff are always friendly and helpful and I highly recommend The Arcades Fish Restaurant and will definately visit again

Mum and I had fish and chips here yesterday and we both thought it was the best fish and chips we have ever had. Next time I visit we will definitely return. Lively with a nice atmosphere and amazing food. Recommended!

Lovely fresh fish and seafood. Well cooked and good value. Excellent and friendly service. Dog friendly too.

Wonderful place to sit, chill and dine.

Absolutely amazing food. My husband went with friends a week earlier and wanted us to go as he kept raving about the amazing fresh food. Clean restaurant. Will definitely go back. Highly recommended. You will want to go back.

We had the 60's special but had to pay extra for cola as we didn't want tea or filter coffee Quite small sliver of fish Chips OK Was only allowed 1 ball of vanilla icecream Very noisy badly behaved children who were relatives or friends of staff We won't be returning

Lovely food, great atmosphere; but what stood out to me was the lovely service :) Our server was genuine and polite and the food was very quick. Will definitely go again.

The Food was very delicious the fish was cooked to perfection and the chips were very good

Très bon poisson par contre très mauvais choix avec la beef pie...

We had the 60s special deal, fish and chips followed by bread and butter pudding and tea or coffee and all for under £10. Food and service was all excellent.

A fantastic experience. Delicious food, kind and personable staff, a clean restaurant and a fast service & reasonable prices. Highly recommend. The grilled fish was the best I’ve genuinely ever tried.

Nous cherchions notre fish and chips dès notre arrivée sur worthing et voilà trouvé. Bel endroit, très très lumineux et bien placé en bord de mer et de la jetée. Prix correct pour du sur place, choix du poisson, haddock ou morue. La carte a du choix pour tous les goûts.

Very welcoming and great service. A plateful of beautifully cooked fish & chips, very meaty fish, perfect batter. Located opposite the pier, we were a little sceptical but thank god we walked in, just a great lunch.

First class top quality food, service, staff attentiveness, price and atmosphere.

Really tasty food, served with a smile and excellent service. We had whitebait and calamari starters, haddock and chips, scampi and chips and whole cooked prawns in a garlic butter. All excellent and great value.

Restaurant très bien situé, une carte variée. Une bonne adresse que je vous recommande.

That is/was the best Cod and chips I have ever eaten. 5*

I don’t leave many reviews but I think it’s important when the experience is so disappointing or amazing that you do. We went to the restaurant with our two smalls kids (3&6) a friend and ourselves, of course. We were seated quickly and menus provided however they were slow to take our order. I left briefly with the 3 year old to entertain the toddler and on our return the food had arrived. Food was good. It isn’t show stopping but it’s tasty. The hummus burger would benefit having the option of a sweet chilli sauce for some zing. Greek salad was good although no balsamic offered. The kids menu is frustrating. The only veggie option is pasta. I wanted a piece of Halloumi (which is one the menu) in place of the chicken/fish etc but they refused to accommodate the request. My daughter is a vegetarian and she was quite frustrated. We had to order a starter of Halloumi and a side of chips for her and a drink - costing us closer to £12 than the kids menu offer of £6. I just think this is unnecessarily stubborn and harsh. It would be at no additional cost to them. We aren’t asking for anything drastic. When the items did arrive, I had to get up 3 times to ask for something as they ignored the table. We were ignored and never checked on. They were slow and inattentive. I stacked the plates and a staff member came over and I asked him for the bill and to takeaway out leftovers. Our kids by now were fed up. He removed the empty plates and then went outside for ages. We sat waiting. He then came in and went “ah ha!” And remembered. I then reminded them the kids menu came with an ice cream to which he replied “I’m sorry young lady but you can’t take it away”. I wouldn’t have needed to race out of there if the staff weren’t so slow and ignored us. They should have been attentive and came over when we had finished eating and given us the ice cream WE PAID for. When I went to pay the bill, the machine took forever. The entire table except me left and waited outside. Eventually they asked me to pay with a different card because their machine was slow. I refused. Thankfully in the second try it went through quickly. Overall it wasn’t with any malice but complete lack of attention. If guests visit your establishment with small kids, please remember they DO NOT have the privilege of waiting forever. Attend to those tables quicker. Our service would have frustrated us with or without children. But the fact we did have kids, made it more frustrating that they aren’t showing any understanding of the challenges eating out with kids, especially post pandemic can have. The clientele is majority older people and the set up suits that. It is slow and not in a comfortable way. I will never be returning to the restaurant.

Amazing food and service. Thanks so much.

Very nice fish and superb chips , but I had salmon , salad and chips , so over powered by over half a plate of lettuce with a few bits of Tom, cue and 1 bit of pepper on top.not to mention red onion ,would have liked smaller salad but be able to fit my chips on same plate as salmon . Good service .

This place is just amazing. Outstanding service, always cheerful and courteous. Great menu, amazing grilled sea bass. I bought French friends here and 11 year old had chicken pie and chips and gravy and almost licked plate clean. Their kindness to less able clients is legendary

If you arw looking for a seaside fish and chips don't hesitate to come here. The place is lovely! Our order was taken quickly and the food arrived in minutes. It was delicious! Special thanks to the lovely waitress Marta. She was genuinely so kind, caring and professional. A real credot to the restaurant. I hope they know what a great job she does.

Overcooked battered fish,probably should went for grilled,prawns ok,nothing special for the price …

Fish and chips today at this restaurant- we were so hungry ! It didn’t disappoint. Great fish in crispy batter and chips to die for! Nice plates too! Quick happy service in beautiful surroundings. To be fair the menu looked very varied and we’d love...

Nice place located just in front of the pier of Worthing. The have different kind of fish on their menu. We ordered the Haddock with Chips and a side order of salad. Staff was friendly and the fish and chips was a treat

Wow wow the best food I’d ever eaten we’d driven from Surrey to ferring cafe closed so came to Worthing . The cleanest restaurant & Loos I’ve ever sat in . Lovejy staff all happy considering it was 8pm after busy day . True pride in all they did . The freshest fish & prawns piping hot & the chips to die for. Beautiful interior felt like I was in a 5star dining . So much pride you can see they have . Love it love it . Truly wonderful

Amazing restaurant. Lovely food. Super friendly staff. Great decor and relaxing music. Wonderful!

Lovely location, lovely staff, and delicious food. I'm so glad of the choice

One answer never again. Ripped off dried out old fish. bad service totally unedible and the worst fish and chips I have had in the country. Avoid you can spend you money far better else where. YThstaff have no idea of service and very very...

Three of us went here for lunch two of us ordered cod and chips and one plaice and chips and we all agree the food was below standard for the price which was too high. The chips were dry and not freshly cooked the fish was quite small and mine had bones in it. The male staff were not friendly at all. Not worth a visit as the fish and chip shop round the corner is far superior. We will not be returning.

Three of us came here for lunch. Despite all the glowing reviews and the place busy we were all very very disappointed as we would not recommend or even think about returning. There are much better places to dine.

Best seafood restaurant we've found. Ordered the oysters, lobster, seabass and seafood risotto. Every one of the meals was excellent. Highlight for me was the risotto if I had to give a favourite. Really great service, very friendly and smiley lady who took great care of us all night. Really lovely view of the pavilion and beach, was really nice at sunset with the colours over the water. Will definitely be back next time we're in town.

It’s amazing 5 star service from the staff specially from Tilly who is absolutely amazing. Without even complaining she knows and deal it straight away, that restaurant is lucky to have her so as the rest of the staff. definitely will come back the food...

Ate here on a very busy Tuesday lunchtime. The waiting staff were fantastic, super friendly and accommodating. We were seated outside, the service was great and food delicious, we all enjoyed our food. Would definitely return.

Wonderful service even though it was late on a Bank Holiday weekend. Delicious food... loved it and will definitely be back. To sample more of the menu

Saw menu outside for OAP fish meal so went in as coffee and desert included £9 approx fish was very small but ok, waitress very pleasant but rushed off her feet! Desert ice cream or bread and butter pudding plus coffee. Main issue which I...

Very nice food,freshly cooked and good atmosphere. Very nice staff.

Went for lunch, very friendly staff, excellent sea bass, proper chips. Great value. Will certainly visit again.

This is a tricky one as the food was great but I was shocked to find out they charge extra to eat in. £70 for 4 meals. Crazy!

Attractive decor drew us in. Friendly greeting as we went in the door. Me and hubby had the over 60s deal which was excellent value, and it was really delicious. Piping hot, fresh and crispy chips and batter. Will be back when we're in Worthing...

My pal Brian and I had a nice early dinner yesterday afternoon. Sardines followed by traditional cod/haddock and chips, with mushy peas. Added gravy and curry sauce. The batter was very good. £65 including service charge and drinks was reasonable price for decent food and drinks. I would recommend.

I had a lovely meal here recently. The sea bass was cooked to perfection, nicely seasoned and served with salad and chips. Washed down with a Peroni - perfect for a summer's day!

My first experience in this restaurantwasn’t good enough. The food was tasty and fresh But the restaurant staff did not care about the customers. Glass bottles were thrown into the trash, and the sound of breaking glass filled the air and they did several times!!They were cleaning spoons and forks next to our table, and the sound of spoons and forks clashing was next to us ! and the staff did not care about these noises at all.

We turned up on a busy lunchtime with no booking and they couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating. A table was found for us within five minutes. The food was just stunning, I had whole sea bass and it was cooked to perfection, my husband had traditional fish and chips which he said was delicious. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and very clean with a lovely view out over the busy promenade. Will definitely visit again.

Fantastic Food tried most of it always gr8 service with a smile open airy feel and no smells including the staff lol

I ordered a takeaway. The fish was delicious, light and crispy although a smaller piece than I expected. Unfortunately the chips were very disappointing. Didn’t seem freshly cooked, just warmed and as a result over cooked. Sadly spoiled the overall experience for me

Lovely fish, but the waitress didn't really listen, so our order was slightly incorrect. Took ages to come, and one of the male staff smelt of BO. Pudding microwaved to slightly hotter than the sun. Tables sprayed, and floors swept around us whilst we ate.

We celebrated my Aunty's birthday here last weekend, and the staff and management couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating to us. The food was delicious (the best fish and chips we've ever had!), the atmosphere was lovely and all very reasonably priced too. The service was very quick and efficient, surprising as the restaurant was full on a busy (and rainy!)Saturday lunchtime. The restarant itself was very clean, as was the toilet. The menu is nicely varied so there was something for everyone's tastes, and the kids meals were excellent portion wise as well as taste wise. Would highly recommend this gem of a restaurant...we can't wait to go back!

Six of us dined, variety of food choices so, we had pasta, fish & chips, burger & chicken, salad & chips. Food was delicious, service friendly & music for atmosphere. Desserts were a little small. Will definitely return and would recommend! Also, great to know 'non-barking' dogs are welcome ;0)

Fast service, really attentive waitors, super tasty food, I'd recommend the seafood linguine, at great value prices as well

The restaurant was bright and clean...we had the over 60s fish and chips meal... not big portions but well presented with a pot of tea and a pudding good value for £10 will go again

Delicious food, great service, lovely company. Had a fabulous evening. Waiter was very helpful and friendly.

A group of us are here before a gig at The Pavilion across the road. A good choice of food (not just fish) - the Sea Bream I had was really delicious, grilled & crispy, with a side salad and generous bowlful of crispy chips....

Great range of dishes and superb service. The fish & chips was the best I’ve had in years and the risotto was delicious. All reasonably priced.

Me and my partner visited this restaurant for my Birthday. We had the best evening! The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly. We ordered oysters and they were delicious! We also shared the food platter it was so nice and not super...

Amazing meal prawn linguine a must for prawn lovers My partner had the beef pie with chips and gravy that look delicious as well I know the chips were good I had to steal some to soak up the sauce in the linguine. Really friendly...

Extremely good experience. Being used to eating at award winning Lytham St Annes fish and chip restaurants, this was the equal, if not better. We chose cod and chips as haddock is served “skin on” and we’re squeamish northerners. Fish was very tasty but the...

Really good restaurant and really friendly staff 😊

Wonderful restaurant! Food was gorgeous and fresh. Staff are so friendly and attentive. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

we had the over 60s special cod chips mushy peas tartare sauce then a pudding either bread and butter pudding or ice cream.and a hot drink.

This is one of the best fish resturants I have been to.Great food and really pleasant and friendly staff.When next in Worthing I will certainly go again.

Waited over 30 minutes for takeaway cod and chips their response we have large orders to cater for, my response was get more staff needless to say I won't go dack

Visited with a party of 21 today. Everyone had the over 60 meau, was good value for money. Fish was delicious they can't wait to return again. Staff very helpful and polite.

Fresh fish, chips and home cooked authentic seafood pastas / risotto. Great service and kindness always.

Best fish in Worthing. I was cautious about going to the restaurant as a solo traveller but immediately I felt at ease upon walking in. I had a very good look at the menu and decided I would sample their fish batter and also start...

Absolutely fantastic fish restaurant. Great food and lovely staff.

2 great visits, different meals each day, both well cooked, lovely friendly team, good location, reasonably priced, recommend visit.

A first class restaurant. The food is fantastic with a good menu. The staff are professional but friendly. It is spotlessly clean, with the tables being sanitised after each sitting. The decor is relaxing. Probably the best restaurant in Worthing.

The food's just delicious, those mussels could only be described by an experienced poet. The staff are awesome and really helpful. Definitely recommend.

Visiting family in Worthing from Australia, we came across this restaurant in the arcade and took a chance. It turned out to be some of the best fish dishes we’d had in a long time. My fish and chips were better than I’d had in...

This is the best fish restaurant in Worthing. The menu is fantastic and very varied. The staff are professional but friendly especially the son of the owner. Cannot fault/

It was honestly the best fidh and chips we ever had... and we are fussy ;)

Popped in here on the off chance they had a table when visiting Worthing on a very hot Saturday. We’d been to the restaurant many years ago when it was owned by someone different and it was very shabby. Pleasantly surprised to see how different...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Fish Arcade in Worthing, and let me tell you, it was an experience that will forever hold a special place in my heart. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a truly memorable dining experience.

Popped in for a quick portion of fish and chips with curry sauce. The restaurant was busy and looked clean. The service was good and friendly. The food was ready after about a 5 min wait which is fair. Unfortunately the food was not quite...
