The North Star in Worthing

Great food great atmosphere highly recommended

Great place to eat, reasonably priced, great selection and top service. Great all round establishment.

Loving the christmas atmosphere there!Amazing scampi and chips. Want to try their curry night as I have heard great things about it.

Lovely time, great food, great staff.

Great place to book your Xmas dinner or any team meal. The food was great and so was the service. Like to thank them for accommodating us at such short notice and catering for all the last minute alterations of what people were having.

I believe was the manager, incredibly rude to our party and condescending she was so unhelpful and rude to her staff members Will not return!! We shall inform all our friends and family to not bother when the manager women is working

Good food , good service, not to pricey and now got the loyalty app , it's even more rewarding

Have visited the North Star a few times since moving into the area the food is always excellent with love friendly helpful staff coming from the Midlands where we used to use the Ember Inns group of pubs so we were clad to find the North Star so close to our new home Well worth visiting

Excellent service.....very friendly staff....Cheesy Chips with pork....highly recommended.

Really nice meal. Entertainment during lunch. 50s 60s songs

Our new favourite place to eat. Lovely food and nicely decorated pub. Sam served us and she was such a lovely girl, highly recommend

Having previously visited with and when booking requested a quiet area if possible due to someone within the group having recently been discharged from a long hospital stay and with high anxiety - this was honoured and we were very grateful - only for the manager to come over almost the second we had finished our food and tell us that the table was needed - but it was no where close to the booking time being up - we ended up sitting outside as was going to buy more drinks, but the distruption meant we ended up just leaving. I was dubious about returning again after a negative experience, but we enjoyed the food before so decided to revisit - this visit was lovely, and made us confirm that our previous negative experience was just an unfortunate visit. I regret not getting the ladies name took our food orders, but she was fantastic so polite, attentive and friendly and some of the food we wanted slight changes too and she ensured this was sorted. We had food from the set menu - we were so impressed at the price, and quality and portion sizes, and the wait time was just right - allowing us to finish our starters before the mains were brought out. I had caramel cheesecake for pudding - it was so good highly recommend. The lady who took our order was the most incredible person I've met - possibly ever. This lady had a disability that was relatively new to her - but she was incredible and despite everything was still serving customers with a smile and going above and beyond checking our food was all alright, and being so attentive to noticing when we had finished and wanted to bill. Having recently myself had amputation surgery and struggling with processing it, seeing someone getting on with their life and working and not letting their disability stop them at all was beyond inspiring, a real credit to the North star.

Made another visit to the North Star Star nice moving to the area we have always liked the Ember Inns for meals and drink an just a short distance from our new home a lovely warm welcome from Wendy T and team the service is excellent serving very good food and offering a good range of wines and beers. Certainly worth visiting.

Real nice staff atmosphere prices are gd and loads of board games

Great new look and lovely staff

Wonderful service. Great meal. Value for money.

It's a good local pub. All, but one, staff members are always friendly and helpful. The separate staff member can be rude, obnoxious & very unprofessional.

Amazing food have always had their takeout and has always been good. Decided to go to the pub restaurant and it did not disappoint. Great service, cocktails were yum and service was very friendly and quick!

Lovely late lunch. Choose the daytime saver menu. All three courses were good and decent sized portions. Dessert was particularly delicious, sticky toffee pudding. Would definitely recommend eating here

Lovely pub, recently had a refurb and looking fresh, friendly staff and good food, plenty of seating whether your eating or just chilling with a drink, warm and cosy :-)

Great local and always reliable with friendly service, a great selection of drinks and a lovely menu. Looking forward to the new menu coming soon and spending time at the North Star over Christmas with friends and family members.

Great value food and helpful staff

Good food at an affordable price with a good atmosphere and friendly staff

Food was too greasy and they put far too syrup in the coffee that it was undrinkable.

My husband and I have had lunch here twice over the last month or so and have every intention of returning in the not too distant future. The menu is large with plenty of choice. There is also a special children’s menu. The food is excellent and well presented. The staff are all very pleasant. Helpful, efficient and friendly. We have been fortunate to be served at our table by Wendy and couldn’t have better service. The bar staff too are very welcoming. Our order was taken in good time and our lunch arrived within a very reasonable time. We would thoroughly recommend this establishment without hesitation.

Brilliant service from all staff. For ale lovers plenty of options.

It's good value for money and meeting up with friends and family and has a good range of food and drink and a good beer garden and the staff are very friendly and helpful

Visit often with my son for breakfast or lunch at the weekends. Great family friendly pub and always welcoming.

My local love it there, great service, good food and never really busy so allways can get a seat.

All staff were cheerful friendly & efficient & food order taken promptly & served in good time & all food delicious & well proportioned. Can't wait to visit again. Our visit was for a 21st birthday meal & they kindly took photos for us too

Took a long time to surved but waitress was lovely and helpful although told could have gluten free bread with soup, ordered the soup and was told no bread along with being charged full price.

My wife and I popped in for lunch today. The North Star is a very nice, large neighbourhood pub with good access and parking. Inside it was clean and tidy and the decor was very welcoming. The food was well prepared; my burger was particularly tasty. A little bit on the pricey side maybe, but decent value for money. They allow dogs, so we'll be going there again.

First visit to pub. Very welcoming food & choice on menu very good & reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again when in aresa

only 3 stars due to short staff resulting in a very long wait for food, although all the staff were very good and as efficient as could be.

Met up with a friend that had come to visit the North Star was an ideal restaurant for a lovely meal and a chance for a catch up Wendy T was excellent we had 4 lovely meals and drinks we had very pleasant experience Well worth a visit

Really good quality local pub / restaurant, the food is excellent & the staff are friendly & welcoming.

Visited yesterday for pre show meal with friends. Waited half an hour for drinks which when they came one was sent back as tasted “mouldy” as if drawn through mouldy pipes. Asked for quick service as time was getting on. Eventually had to chase up our order as it was taking so long. When meals came three were cold and we had to send them back. By the time they were replaced the others in our party had finished theirs. We came out with the aim of eating together ! Time was too short for dessert then we had to chase for the bill. Bad service, cold food medium quality food. Our evening was spoiled.

awful pub, rude staff, don’t recommend at all.

Very nice place to go for lunch friendly service always with a smile service was great Wendy's very friendly and happy to help will be going again

Had a lovely family meal at North Star. Very professional team and good food was served. Very adaptable to our needs especially with allergies. A good pub if you have any allergies aswell

We normally have good experiences here but of late, the food quality seems to have gone downhill, maybe a change of supplier? My sirloin steak was full of fat and very chewy. Really poor value but the nacho sharer was good. Service was fast friendly and efficient but please can some quality control go into those steaks please?!

Excellent service however steak was very poor quality

Love this pub. Dog and child friendly. Staff very friendly. Menu good value for pub food

Very relaxed and wasn't rushed Good service

Friendly, fast service , always feel welcome

Had a great lunch at a reasonable price.

The staff on shift were very attentive and provided a great customer experience. The food was really good too.

Great pub! Great service and a pleasure to go there! We will definitely be back!

Great pub, with a lovely menu and friendly staff. One of my fav locals with a great pub quiz on a Thursday - great vegan curry! Can’t wait for summer and using the garden.

Great pub, friendly & very helpful staff, large menu with lots of choice, well recommended 👌🏾

Didn't eat there just a quick beer. Nice outside area to chill out

Asked to move to empty table which was unreserved but ignored and eventually couple walked in and sat there. Food came without sauce, no staff to ask as only two servers for whole restaurant, really poor experience.

Always have a nice meal here, and nice and close to home for us to pop to of an evening

Had a 40% voucher which was a relief as we wouldn't have wanted to pay almost £50 for what we had (with drinks would have been over £80.) Positives: Nice place. Good refurbishment. Clean. Fabulous, polite staff. Negatives: not much of an atmosphere even though it was busy. Half an hour wait for the meal to be served. Steak was a bit fatty..teaspoonful of peas, half a mushroom and half a tomato..had to pay extra for peppercorn sauce (runny) and cajun fries? Didn't taste cajun. Dressed side salad!!! Almost £3. 3 pieces of lettuce, one slice of tomato and no dressing !! Come on!!!! Will return for a drink but will give the food a miss. Shame.

Came here on a Sunday for brunch/lunch. We were received with a cheery morning greeting, which was nice considering the unseasonably raining July weather! We were asked if we had booked, which we hadn't. We were offered a choice of tables with service or sitting in the bar area without table service. We chose to sit in the restaurant area. We liked the look if the Sunday menu and the brunch. We both chose the classic full English. The food came quickly and very hot. Everything was cooked perfectly! We were checked on frequently but not harassed. Over all pleasantly surprised! £23 for two breakfasts and a drink each. Just to add that another table came with extensive dietary requirements and they seemed very accommodating and patient. Will definitely return again Would advise that you book, especially on a Sunday as it was getting very busy.

Highly recommend The north star. Great value for money!. Food was amazing. Staff are so friendly and polite. Really great pub . Never been before but will be coming again

Lovely staff, efficient, friendly, extremely polite, great food, very reasonable

Since the refurb the food has gone down hill drastically. I certainly would not recommend or eat there again. No taste chips horrible, steaks were so dry hard to cut even with steak knife. Was my son's birthday I asked for candle or something in his pudding nothing they could do to meet this requirement. Staff a bit but couldn't fault them apart from even when complained nothing was done about it just an apology.

Since the new menu was introduced the food quality has dipped. Previously gave a 5* no faults. Staff are still wonderful, beer is ace, curry sauces spot on, popadoms amazing but lamb meat is rough, scampi ok, peas hard, chips average. Need to get back to where it was with old menu, that was really first class pub grub… please 🙏🏻

We booked a table for 20 with only a few days notice, North Star approved this straight away with was great! As it seemed not many places would except a big table. First time coming here & I can honestly say it was a great experience from arriving until we left. It was my son’s 9th birthday, they made it even more special for him! All staff are lovely, kind and polite & go that extra mile. Food is lovely, great value for money aswell! Highly recommend & I will most definitely be returning! Think this maybe my new fav. Thankyou for much for having us & making us all welcome.

Staff, food and drinks were great. No improvements needed

Absolutely lovely food with a great atmosphere, can't wait to visit again. Was even better the second time we visited, cant recommend this place enough 😃 The third time was even better than the previous times would recommend to anyone 🙂

Great food, friendly staff and the inside of the building looks nice with some good pictures. Highly recommended and giving it a 5 stars and 10 out of 10. 👍👍☺️☺️👌👌 Nearest train station with a short walk that is easily to get to the restaurant & pub is Durrington-on-sea if anyone wishes to take the train.

Lovely place, but my macaroni cheese was so small I thought it was a starter! Orange sponge pudding was gorgeous.

Fantastic bottomless brunch, molly was a great host, very attentive and very efficient and helpful 😀. Will definitely come again *****

I've been to this pub on many occasions over many years, only living a short walk away but this was my first visit since it's recent "revamp" and first restaurant experience this year & It was a really disappointing experience unfortunately. Booked a table for 4 on Sunday, for my daughters 9th Birthday. As soon as we arrived I could tell they looked short staffed, not a problem we're in no rush and it can't be helped sometimes. What really disappointed / annoyed me was my daughter had purposely put her new dress & sparkly shoes on to dress up for a meal out, holding her helium huge number 9 balloon - excited feeling grown up, eventually a lady came over, who i assume was the restaurant manager as she was not in an ember inns shirt, she acknowledged me and confirmed a table for 4 reservation, at no point did she even make the effort to acknowledge my daughter or even wish her a Happy Birthday - busy or not this is just a polite thing to do costs nothing and takes no time. This continued with every interaction with every staff member we had contact with. Once we'd finished the food which was not bad, average I guess, it was time to light the candles and have her birthday cake. I waited a while no one came over to clear the table so I placed all the plates on the table next to us and waited some more. Still no one, so I went to the bar waited some more time & politely asked for 4 small plates and knife to cut the cake - I was of course given these without the mutter of one word again from the restaurant manager. Thanks. We set the cake up with some candles and lit them, sang Happy Birthday much to my daughters embarrassment and thankfully for her the atmosphere was so bad in here that not one other table or person joined in with the happy birthday (as I say I think my daughter was very pleased with that) but more to point out the awful atmosphere in the Northstar on a Sunday at 6pm! - all was good we had the cake then waited some more for someone to come over (the dirty plates still sat on the table next to us) and I wanted to pay the bill. No one arrived, so I decided to go to the bar to pay, waited some more... the bar person asked what table I was on, I had no idea, eventually and after complete silence from the bar staff team member for some time she suddenly blurted out can you check the bill and make sure you're happy with it - I confirmed it was correct and paid. Our little party left to complete silence, not one thank you not one did you enjoy your meal and more importantly to me not one member of staff acknowledging my Daughter and wished her a happy birthday. Now she was non the wiser thankfully and enjoyed her time, I however am left absolutely underwhelmed & disgusted than those who chose a career in the service industry clearly have no idea how to provide service. Sadly what an awful experience I certainly wont be repeating.

Great traditional pub with great atmosphere!

After some recent experiences i have had around town at least you know where you stand at the north star. Consistent and something for everyone to enjoy. Will recommend and definitely return again.

Lovely new decor. Great food, reasonably priced. Great service

Lunch on bank holiday Sunday for five members of family from different areas. We were greeted warmly, served quickly by attentive friendly staff. The food was served hot and neatly. This newly refurbished family pub met & exceeded our expectations!

Great place but being from NYC, USA can I suggest they note no food after 21:30 Sunday. Got there but found out on arrival. Called to ask but message machine on so not taking direct calls. 'I'll know better now' as my mother would say.

An early evening Thursday meal with friends. The North Star was packed when we arrived. We thought we would have to wait ages and were contemplating a small round table with high stools around, when a member of staff called us over to a table just cleared. Medium priced, decent range of food, well cooked and plenty on the plate. Lovely staff were attentive and helpful. We each had a drink, main and sm pudding with coffee combo. The bill came to roughly £25 each.

The pub was very busy, however the service was very swift. We were very happy with our food. It was well presented, hot and very tasty. We have no hesitation it returning very soon.

Food is always good and not too expensive

Better since the refurbishment.

Not going to win any Michelin stars, but adequate.

We visited today for dinner. The pub is newly refurbished and looks good. There were a number of vegan options and I had the rainbow lasagne, which was quite nice. It is simple chain pub food, but done done quite well. Service was very friendly, albeit slow, although they seemed to be dealing with a medical situation.

Lovely birthday lunch today with a friend both our birthday. Table service back in the restaurant brilliant, beef lasagne was very tasty and well presented, Pudding were just has tasty and service was excellent, Full marks for such excellent service at the table and very friendly waitress.

Good all round pub and restaurant

Only wenth for a group night out. Did not have a meal here. Staff were very good and helpful with their service.

Took my family there out of the blue Was really nicely decorated they fit us it last minute My burger with beef dripping was lovely in fact all 3 of our meals was amazing will 1000% be back

Food was delicious good selection of real ales.

I wd rather drink in the north star. X

Service and staff were excellent. Food is good quality and affordable

Fantastic referb, always a great experience from everyone at the North Star. Great food choices on menu too 🥰

Excellent service Ryan in the North Star Worthing West Sussex and extremely professional .

Food was either luke warm. Pasta barely cooked and burger buns warmed by microwave and gone hard. Chips like shaped mash potato.

Arrived early evening on Sunday. Were advised several roasts were unavailable on arrival. Be warned, if you order a set meal the price on the menu won't be what you pay. We weren't advised this on arrival & when we queried it on the bill, we were told the menu is wrong & they are waiting for reprints...we were charged several pounds more for a set meal !!! Ordered cocktails, to be told ingredients for one had run out. Starters & mains were nice. Ordered more drinks, but they never arrived. Ordered desserts, after a while the waiter came back to say (yet again) that one wasn't available, which he now seemed to think was very funny. Expensive..are we all paying for the refit?!!!! Would I return....NOPE !!

Went for a family roast, I think they defo used cheap frozen potatoes, had to send the beef on the bone back

Had Sunday lunch and it was delicious,well executed, friendly staff and felt welcomed. Definitely will be returning soon.

We held a charity quiz night and it was brilliant. Venue were very accommodating and helpful. Heard lots of good comments about the food (we didn’t have time to eat as organisers of the event) and bar staff were quick with drink orders at the bar.

Lovely place, gets quite busy Nice garden

Went today as its bee recently renovated. Lovely and clean and great decor.

The food and drinks were good. Good service too.

Gone down hill since renovation.

Bearded barman in black with attitude to match!!

Roast duo… if you don’t mind paying a lot for dry over cooked Aunt Bessie roast potato’s, dry gammon and hard, overcooked yorkies this will be your place… won’t be going back any time soon

The welcome was very nice we had made a booking, was very pleased with the new look. Taken to our table told about the new system of ordering our food this was no trouble, the food came out quite quick to the table was very pleased with the quality, the only adverse comment is we were sat round in the new area on the East Side of the restaurant and found the tables were to close to each other.

The menu was poor as a lot of the meals were marked out so little to choose from. I went to the Ladies toilet and they were discusting, 4 cubicals, 1 didn't even have a toilet in it, 1 had no seat the other were dirty, the floor was soaking wet. 3 sinks, 1 out of order, overall there was plenty of dirt, rust and generally disgusting it needs a complete overhaul it's not what you expect in an eatery.

Good food, value for money, very friendly staff, good service, relaxed atmosphere.
