The Cow Shed in Worthing - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely to sit outside in the sunshine. Cocktails were good. Haven't eaten food here

For some reason my friend received two meals instead of one and the edamame beans were inedible as there was so many chilli flakes and they weren't cheap..the skin on fries are delicious but £5 for a tiny little pot is really extortionate. When I told the waiter the edamame beans were inedible when he came to collect the plates he just laughed and didn't offer something else free as an alternative. Or a sorry. Used to love the food here but it is too overpriced now sorry.

Loved it. Quirky, cool, great music and vibes. Friendly, smiley staff. And nice prompt, tasty food. Definitely going back next time we're in Worthing...

Sit outside and watch the world go by on the seafront

In the bar you will find a good selection of drinks and cocktails to choose from. However, I encountered an unhelpful member of the bar staff when I asked for shots to be served to our table and she refused to do so. The treatment we received was different from that of other customers.

Nice place to stop off for a beer right opposite the pier. Didn't try food but kitchen looked busy.

3 x 50th birthday celebrations here tonight. 5 star service , music was great and such a mix of ages and such a relaxed atmosphere Worth the drive, pretty sea front , would visit again...even more so if the cowshed gave blue light discount (wink wink) Many thanks cowshed staff .

Good place to catch up with friends while watching the traffic go past

Had the most delicious cauliflower tacos here. Sitting outside in the sun with a refreshing cocktail, watching the world go by ...

Positives: ease of booking. Friendly young blonde waitress. Good chips. Negatives: pay at bar as you go, no tab even if you are eating - this wasn’t made clear on arrival leading to confusion. Hippy chick burger small, dry, flavourless. Sticky tables, tired decor. Disgusting toilets smelling of stale pee. Nicer places in Worthing to go, avoid this. I wouldn’t return & can’t recommend.

OK for a drink. Enjoyed the ambiance

Takeaway Not the same as being at the Cow Shed.

The food was amazing and the drinks too, nice atmosphere and kind staff

Happy Hour was great- we really enjoyed the great Mojito‘s 🙂

We've had drinks here before (the 2 cocktails for £15 deal is fab)...and today decided to try their food. There was a great lunch menu ,very reasonably priced and a main menu. Lots of vegetarian & vegan options on both menus. We had a pulled pork tacos and crispy cauliflower tacos from the lunch menu...both absolutely delicious and fresh tasting 😋. Highly recommended, will eat here again !!!!!

Lovely cocktails and a great place to spend a wet and windy night in July.

Went for lunch today the staff were really friendly and polite. The food quality was great we had the straight up hotdog and fries and the dirty dog which had pulled pork, bourbon sause, caramelised onions. I would definitely go back again and will be recommending to friends.

Really good burgers! (Vegan & beef) Will order again

Good place to sit and watch the world go by

Right opposite the beach & perfect for the theatre across the road. Great staff & nice selection of spirits!

Nice place by the sea. Staff very helpful and accommodating!

Nice place for lunch or a snack, drinks and cocktails available. Situated handily just across from the seafront, outside seating also available weather permitting.

Came here on a visit to see the family expecting some nice quality time, however that was near impossible. I get that everyone needs to start working somewhere but a certain member of staff clearly hates working and serving people here. The young, blonde girl’s attitude stinks…quite literally. I never leave reviews but after the sheer level of nonchalance we experienced, I felt compelled to do so. Such a shame that our visit was ruined by a single person as apart from her, the atmosphere was lovely! Hopefully she takes the time to learn some manners and basic customer service before other customers feel like nuisances too. May visit again as i’m sure the more experienced staff can deliver better service next time.

The staff seemed friendly, the food reasonably priced, and it was busy for a Wednesday evening. We were really pleased to see how many vegan and vegetarian options were on offer. Some of their listed meat options could be made vegetarian which was a nice touch and gave much more choice than other establishments. We had the Facon dog and it was delicious! I think the sausage itself was maybe a tiny bit overdone, but the flavours were awesome. The chips were perfectly crispy, some of the nicest I've had to be honest and we left feeling rather impressed. The staff checked on us throughout our meal and service was quick despite being busier. We'd definitely go back.

Spontaneously decided a trip to the beach after work for a walk and bite to eat and stumbled into The Cow Shed.

My uncle loved this place, so we came back to celebrate his passing and wasn't disappointed

Really liked it here. It was our first time and definitely wont be our last. We had drinks at lunch time then returned for a meal later the same day. The staff who served us both times were brilliant. The food was good too. Fair prices given the location and the level of service and food quality. There were a couple of loud customers during our 2nd visit, who did slightly spoil our meal (although there does always seems to be a selfish, loud person in every venue 😂) although this isnt the fault of the establishment, but the acoustics are pretty poor, but I assume its hard to control given the huge glazed frontage. Definitely a great place to drink and eat.

GF really liked it, I found the food a bit bland

Thank you for the Excellent service The Cow Shed Worthing which clearly came directly from Sophie's heart and not just because it is necessary. And the rest of the staff was lovely too! Sorry I can't remember everyone's names. The food was also good and the same quality as when I ate there a few years ago.

Always wanted to try this place, but never had any tables free (very clear as to why it's always busy). Incredible food, my partner and I had the El Toro burger and the halloumi starter. Both were so delicious, I highly recommend. The milkshake my partner had looked amazing. The man at the bar who made our cocktails was a literal cocktail artist, so much work went into everything and it was all perfect.

They did have more options last time but it was a very pleasant experience all the same 🙂

food was very good and portions were big, a little bit pricey hence the 4 stars.

Haven't eaten here yet but the mocktails are fantastic, the cocktails look just as good, and the excellent chillout music and the candles on each table create a great atmosphere.

I went here last week with my family and my experience was just awful and unwelcoming. I had a young blonde girl serve me and she was very rude and was not accommodating at all. Me and my family are very disappointed and we’ll not be coming here again. I if i could give 0 rating i would do as this place is ridiculous

We often visit, but the last few times the music has been awful. Finished drinks and gone. Didn't even finish drinks on new year!

Rubbish staff will not come here again ....

Very good and nice and easy for you

Really friendly helpful staff, good vibes on a sunny day, decent kids menu reasonably priced. Only let down was the steak meal….overcooked, not nice onion rings, too sweet and runny coleslaw :(

Food itself was OK but nothing wow but the attitude of the guy at the bar was poor. My wife wanted a burger but doesn't like fries. No option to buy just the burger. Can we change fries to onion rings? No. I'm happy to pay the difference. Still no. He said it ate too much at their profit margin. Not sure how this affects their margin at all. So we ordered the over priced burger with the fries that we didn't want and additional portion of onion rings which when they arrived were very small , for £5.50 was a rip off. Wouldn't recommend eating here.

Not ate there so can't comment on the food although the food looks great. Cocktails are well made and the music they have on a loop is always great.

Food is good, but I do think it's very overpriced for what you get.

Lovely place. Quiet enough for us to get a table, busy enough to have some atmosphere!

Too loud, wonky table, steak full of gristle, no steak knife and sat in the doorway! Not the best start to a night out. The staff were brilliant resolving our issues but that shouldn't be their issue - management sort yourselves out! 💜

all tasted fine but the blue cheese burger did not have any blue cheese in it.

We went in for a quiet early evening drink. The covering on the chairs is peeling off, the tables aren't clean, but the staff are pleasant. A loud person came into the bar and from the way he was acting, possibly under the influence of alcohol or something else. He was served, went outside, harassed and assaulted a gentleman who was sitting at a table minding his own business. Nobody seemed phased, only two girls who went to speak with the bar staff and the poor guy's friend. Pedestrians had to walk around the broken glass outside but no-one attempted to go out and clean it up. Perhaps they did later but it was still there when we left.

Only had drinks but service was great. Amazing margarita! 👏

Great cocktails, great prosecco & one of the best places in Worthing to people watch with a beverage or 3,

Was here about 2 weeks ago, what a really great place, as others say yes atmosphere and vibe are great, didn’t eat, just had drinks, they were fine and other food about looked good though. Staff friendly and helpful but one thing amiss - food hygiene rating sticker on window shows 5 when really the premesis is a 4. Naughty naughty!

Cocktails amazing, food nice, time waiting for them, dreadful.

I was so impressed with the customer service! We arrived 15mins before the kitchen closed and the lady serving had a big smile as we placed our food order. My mac and cheese was nice and my partner said his burger was cooked really well. The atmosphere, play list and decor was so chilled. A nice place to be.

Great hotdogs and burgers....good vibe, thanks.

In general the experience was fine, the staff members were nice, polite and very approachable. Restaurant clean inside, with nice decor and good vibe. The only led down was food, and bit drinks. Regular coke and diet Coke tasted the same, like was too much soda mixer. We ordered 2 mains and one kids meal. Mac and cheese was too plain and blend. My burger with pulled pork could have more taste too... kids burger same bit too plain. Presentation of the dishes on spot... Just this taste. Could of be better :)

Lovely bar on the front to watch the world go by with a drink. Highly recommend the vegan hotdogs.

I'm not sure I would recommend this venue. Food was medeoca. Drink expensive. Sorry, not for me.

Great food, service and the pricing wasn't bad at all. Would certainly revisit. We left stuffed to the gills!

Good food, great service, nice vibe 😊

Food and service good, fantastic cocktails 🍸

Really good place for a very nice burger and a beer. Staff lovely too and all very well run.

Lovely friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere

We came for a drink but the music was played so loud we couldn't hear each other and left after one drink which we regretted having, it does feel that the staff turn it up for themselves especially as sister bar's/pub's don't have this problem, The staff aren't being paid to listen to music but too work We would prefer the music to be played as a background level so it's enjoyable but we can still hold a conversation

Very impressed with both the burgers and the cocktails on offer here. Very tasty all round!

Friendly service and nice atmosphere

A great place with a nice selection of meat and vegan burgers and nachos, right on the seafront. When we were there they were out of a few vegan options (seems to be very popular) but I really enjoyed their chickpea nachos.

Really enjoyed! Would order again

Haven't had the food but I'm sure I will at some point as love this place!!

I like the place, easy atmosphere.

Great bar with yummy tex-mex food. Iv had the ribs, which were amazing. Can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu.

First time here. Pleasant, nice food, thoroughly enjoyed “the cow shed” double 6oz burger” would eat here again. Helpful staff also.

Don't come here if you are hungry. We came hungry and and left half full. Waited over an hour for our food. McDonald's and burger king burgers are bigger for half the price.

I knew without a doubt it was going to be one of the best Sours when an egg was cracked! But honestly *Chefs Kiss* Amazing vibe too!

Worst customer service. Dirty table . Chef cleaning nose and still touching food

Honestly, really nice place. Went out with a few colleagues after work for food and drinks and this menu caught our eye. I had a mocktail which was lovely and the sirloin loaded fries were to die for! I still think about them weeks later!

Great food great price great staff

Great place. Very much enjoyed dinner.

Nice place to take in the view of the pier , people watching etc, grab a table outside, mainly lager on sale,no real ale ,which was disappointing,but great for a chill out

Had the ribs each visit, (only been there twice) Never seen so much meat on ribs in my life. Everything with it brilliant. Staff always friendly

The Cow Shed is a must for cocktail lovers - I highly recommend the Honey Badger and Lilypad (pictured), made by the glorious Fred. A great evening spot 😊 whenever my mum comes to visit from Manchester, she loves coming here! I have also eaten here before, and it's always been hot and tasty. **One star marked off for atmosphere: The toilets are in need of a refurb but the venue knows about it (they popped a note on the toilet to make customers aware)**

This place has a great vibe but you may have to wait for your food sometimes a little longer but don't be disappointed as it will be worth it.

Just dropped by for a couple of drinks , sat outside in the sun lovely

Great staff good venue location

The chef Gabriel makes the best Burger in Worthing, I had El Diablo with a sweet chilli sauce made with Mango and Abanero Chilli and my wife the Pulled Pork Burger. Just Amazing. Thanks again Alessio

When this place first opened it was very nice, but after a recent visit we will not be eating there again. The whole place was filthy. The toilets were disgusting. Will definitely not be going again.

A great little place - we didn't eat but drinks were good. Not enough staff to cope with demand at the bar but staff did their best.

Great place to meet friends for a few beers, relax and simply people watch.

Bar man with curly brown hair is arrogant, obnoxious and brings the place down

Didn't have any food, but you can get a wide range of drinks and excellent coffee,love the place.

Amazing place to eat and excellent service from both Poppy and Katie who were making sure we were happy with our food. Fantastic food it was indeed. Definitely recommend 🙂

It is supposed to be a family place so if you see this place as one of them, it is alright. If you want to have a chat with someone there, try to avoid it!!! It is far too busy and noisy and when I say noisy, it is crazily noisy, I did not hear my own voice there. I am not going to visit that again, ever 🙄

My partner and I enjoyed our trip to the Cow Shed. Although the wait for the food took a while, when it arrived it was delicious. Friendly and helpful staff, good food and trendy setting.

God food, great location, friendly staff

First the dirt and grime issue, it was shocking how dirty the table we were on was, the floor, the bar area, the whole place was filthy, surface cleaning is all they seem to do here, if at all and the toilets have not been deep cleaned for a very long time by what I saw, I wish I'd taken my phone in to take photos, even the grout was filthy! Service staff were dismissive and rude, I agree with previous reviewers who said the same ( one server of food was nice) My friend waited for 20 minuets to order food, they ignored him to serve someone who arrived after and then took ages because they were focused on making drinks for others and when I went up they were trying to find a key to replace a till roll. ( there were 2 staff and 2 tills but they didn't want to use the other till it seemed) One left to go off to seek a key and the other decided to clean something in the sink rather than serve me! I was even spoken to rudely when I asked if I could make sure my food came the same time as my friend who ordered before me if I was to wait for the till but because she assumed I was asking for her to serve me right then so she repeated to me they were trying to find a key, but when I finished my sentence and she realised what I was asking, ironically, all of a sudden, she could serve me from the other till because she realised my food order needed to be served at the same time as my friends food- this should have been done in the first instance!! Now let's look at the price and food, the price is £15 for a buger and chips and £5 for a side but what a rip off for Iceland quality food! I happily pay for good handmade burgers and hand cut fries and i will say this looked great in presentation but the " skin on fries" are just oily shop bought chips with far too much frying, the burger tasted burnt, flavourless, no idea where the blue cheese was, and the lettuce was like cabbage ( I'm convinced it was !!) My friend said the chicken burger was equally bad and tasteless and he hardly ever complains about anything, we both felt sad we'd chosen to go there. The whole meal was over £22 each because I ordered £5 onion rings ( oily, basic mess of onions in over oiled batter.) I honestly would have gone to Mcdonalds and been happier! ( and that's How bad this was that McDonalds is better) how this place gets good reviews and a 5 star hygiene rating is beyond me, I'd never go again and I'd have asked for a refund but I'd have had to wait for service for half the evening!

First visit to The Cow Shed. Nice chilled vibe and decorated well with a great view of Worthing Pier. The front of the restaurant opens up so you can sit outside if the weather is good. I had the crab salad and was really surprised at the portion size. You get a generous amount of crab meat and a large salad, more than enough for lunch. Couldnt resist trying the cocktails. The Moscow Mule was very refreshing although I would have liked them to salt the rim of the glass when I ordered a Margaritta. All in all, good food, reasonable prices in a decent restaurant with fab views. Perfect for an afternoon people watching.

Great location, lovely bar food, nice people behind the jump.

I’d heard good things, but we received pretty abrupt & rude service. Both the bar man & waitress were passive aggressive - on missing 2 drinks from the order the bar man’s response was to argue that we didn’t order it, only when we prompted his memory did we get a calmer response and apology. We understood that the orders were placed at the bar and were not clear on waiting around for the drinks - the waitress bought these over to use and passively mentioned that we would only be served food - that we would need to collect our drinks. It probably could have been mentioned nicer but also was there a need if the drinks had already been bought to us? A little weird. The food was not good, chicken burger was burnt, tacos were tasteless and we pretty much left most of the food. The fries were nice but that’s about it. Would not visit again and wouldn’t recommend.

Loved the food, and drinks. Not too busy at the time.

Very chilled. I really enjoyed the mocktail :) as I am a driver. Open till late. A lovely spot to have a chat with a good friend on a late weekday evening ✨✨✨ I did not order the food, this time.

Nice staff great music never ate there but the food looks good

Lovely cocktail but the music was just a little too loud while we were chatting.

Strange review tbh, as I didn't really stayed long so a 1 star is a little unfair. Went in waited to be served, stood around for a few minutes and nobody was there. I could hear staff talking in the back so shouted 'hello' a couple of times, but nobody acknowledged. I just wanted a coffee so I left it and went up the road.

Favorite place in Worthing. Staff are cool. Music is good. Food is excellent 👍🏼
