The Vine Pub in Arun

Thoroughly enjoyable evening, full of drinks, laughter and great friendly service. You’ll always find a good laugh at this pub and some great characters. The garden is a very nice, enjoyable area to spend time in, especially in the sunshine.The food certainly hits all the right spots as do the pints.Can’t recommend this place enough!

We went here today for a last minute family lunch. Beautiful garden, secure and children’s play area with new equipment. Food was lovely, reasonable, with an excellent menu, good choice of drinks and Spencer and his team who looked after us couldn’t have done more. Spencer literally didn’t sit still and nothing was too much trouble. Very very impressed, and appreciative of the hard work everyone was putting in. We had an absolutely lovely time. Thank you so much

BLAND AND SAD. Staff gave me the stink eye. The beer was rubbish and the atmosphere even worse. Won’t be back.

We haven’t been in the Vine for sometime and this was an exceptional Sunday Lunch. I had the nut roast with roast potatoes, carrots, mashed swede, broccoli with Yorkshire pudding and gravy, opps forgot the small ball of stuffing. To top it off the plates were hot.My husband had the roast beef and had the same vegetable as myself.For desert I had ice cream and my husband had Sticky toffee pudding with ice cream.What was nice, it was 20% off for people who had served in the armed services, because it was Armistice Day.

Went for a family Sunday lunch amazing food staff are really friendly and always willing to help great service. Out of this world chocolate sponge pudding if you love chocolate like me you have to try it. Lovely family friendly pub would defiantly be going again

We had the chicken and the beef both were very nice. All cooked very well and tasty with a selection of veg. Amazing value at £10 well worth a visit.

A new menu with a an amazing variety of choice. I had the steak and ale pie with mash and veg, it was outstanding, the service was great too. Friendly staff at the bar and helpful. Dan and Lee make a great team.

Been down here a few times recently, brilliant atmosphere with music on in the background. A new menu of food has been put out and having tried a couple of dishes I will definitely be coming back to have some more. All reasonably priced food and drink.

I was looking for a pub with BT Sport so as I could watch Wokings FA Cup match with Watford. The Vine has BT Sport. Moreover though the bar staff are superbly friendly and were excellent. Child friendly too. Thank you all 😀

I went for a last drink over the festive season and was served by the most unfriendly bar person; no festive cheer here; no welcome, or smile

Don’t waste your money here! Management are taking multiple bookings for larger groups and then deciding who will keep their booking and who will be let down; presumably depending on what planned event is likely to be the most profitable! Our family booked a lunchtime buffet to follow a Christening. According to the diary at the time of confirmation, no other bookings had been taken that day. However; once all the invites had been printed and sent out and arrangements made, they called to say they had tripled booked for the same time on the same day and were therefore cancelling two bookings; ours being one of them! Disgraceful behaviour. Please don’t become a victim of their despicable practices!

We booked The Vine for 40 guests for our son's christening party.We went for the finger buffet and the food was plentiful and it was nicely laid out and done to a good standard. They also catered well for our guests with dietary requirements. The drinks were all very reasonably priced as well. The Staff were all polite and well mannered and were very helpful. they even let us put balloons and bunting up.Overall this is a good venue for any occasion and i would recommend it to any that needs somewhere to hold a gathering.

called in here for a pint and was pleasantly surprised. pub previously seemed to be the base for a rather 'mixed' group of drinkers. beer ok, will probably pop in again

Went with a large group for Sunday lunch. Although I cannot fault the staff the meal was only just warm, the beef was tough, veg was over cooked, not a very nice meal at all. Had to wait well over half an hour for deserts that were all pre made. Wont be going back again, Shame as the staff are really great just let down by bad food.

Went there for Sunday lunch a couple of months ago. Restaurant area empty and soulless, even at lunchtime. Food was pre-sliced meat and not very nice roasts and veg. Really didn't live up to expectations at all. Won't be going back.

Visitamos este encantador pub el viernes por la noche, cuando buscando un lugar con un jardín para disfrutar del sol. Está en el centro de Tarring, en un edificio peculiar vieja. Tenían un festival de cerveza y sidra durante el fin de semana, así que había una gran variedad para elegir. El personal era encantador y nos sentamos en el jardín grande y bien cuidado. Tuvimos unas cuantas horas libres de Domingo, así que volvimos de nuevo y disfrutamos del sol de nuevo. Me gustaría volver pronto a probar la comida.

Me fui con un viejo amigo para comer el domingo. La decoración era mucho mejor, pero la comida era horrible. Tuve carne asada mi amigo tenía el cerdo era muy salada demasiado salsa y demasiado las verduras. Sólo comí unos 800 f mina. La última vez que vine aquí fue hace 18 meses de haber organizado una barbacoa de cumpleaños que fue un desastre me propuse no comer aquí de nuevo, pero como se ha cambiado de manos desde entonces PENSÉ QUE les daría otra oportunidad.

Went for a Sunday roast after a couple of mixed reviews. It was really nice, proof that pubs can get Sunday roasts right with lovely home made food. Service good as well. Give it a go, you will hopefully you will be happy.

What a nice pub one of the very few pubs that you can sit and talk and hear each other

El pub es hermosa, por dentro y por fuera. Muy limpio y acogedor. Comida defrauda muy mal. El menú en línea no es lo mismo que el menú en el pub. La selección vegetariana era una basura. No ofrecen 3 lasaña vegetariana. Todos estaban medio comido. lasagna estos estaban sin sabor. Teníamos una mesa para 8 personas, todos los platos elegidos eran pobres. Patatas fritas típico congelados. Nada que regresamos para, un poco triste ya que elegimos este pub pensando que sería una buena comida. Pero el mismo viejo pobre blande la comida.

Este es mi segundo domingo aquí y no será la última. Excelente asado y cordero, panceta de cerdo, buenas porciones de tamaño, un montón de verduras y salsa de asado y generoso que sirve spuds que era rica y sabrosa. Los postres son geniales y casero. Recomendaría este hotel sin ninguna duda. Rebecca, el gerente del bar, es una delicia absoluta. Ir: usted no será decepcionado.

Pub familiar vendiendo buena comida y ale con aire acondicionado. . Jardín grande, perros. bienvenido. Música en vivo los sábados por la noche.

Went here for a pre Christmas meal with friends.Food and service were fantastic would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Went with a friend for Sunday lunch and had the roast. Very pleased and thought the food excellent. Great roasties, good size portions and a home made crumble with custard. Excellent beers. Chef and staff took time out to talk to us.

Was looking for a quiet pub to have a Sunday roast, We ordered 4x adult roasts and 2x children's meals. The quality of the roasts (meat in particular) was very good, good sized portions and a good variety of vegetables for the price £10, This roast was on par with other pubs I have paid over £15!. The chef took time out of the kitchen to see how our meal was which is always a nice touch. Very happy and full now ☺️ would definitely return

visited on Saturday had club sandwich which was very good and very large also had homemade sticky toffee pudding with icecream it was very nice friendly staff and lovely set up never been to this pub before great job well done

The pub is very good friendly service and staff are brilliant the food and drink is excellent lovely garden and fire inside to give the pub a cosy atmosphere.

Came here for Sunday roast was amazing nice sized portions and freshly cooked vegetables , the pub is very family friendly and also very dog friendly well worth a visit!

Went in for a Sunday roast and it was fab! Really enjoyed all the food, service is friendly and all for a very reasonable price! We will be returning again very soon!

Our first visit to The Vine today, based on TA recommendations, and we were not disappointed. Excellent service from the bar staff and Jamie, the waiter. Reserved a table for 4 at 2pm. We arrived expecting it to be really busy, but it was comfortably so, and we were shown straight to our table. New chef has recently arrived at the vine from the Hotel du Vin in Brighton - and he certainly knows his stuff!!Had three roast beefs and 1 nut roast, as the pork had run out. All were cooked to perfection with plenty of gravy, stuffing and large Yorkies. Beef was tender, moist, tasty and beautifully pink. Roast potatoes were crispy outside and fluffy inside, just as they should be. Cauliflower cheese, carrots, red cabbage, green beans were all excellently cooked and presented. All in all, a triumph and amazing value for a tenner a head. Will definitely be back soon. Outstanding

Lunch on a Thursday in October. We had to wait a while for the food but the chef laid on an impromptu starter which was delicious. The pies and veggie burger were great and well worth waiting for. The Sussex bitter was good too. The staff were friendly and kindly turner the music down so my elderly Dad could hear. Only criticism - the pub was cold! Some heating would have been nice,

Came here with my family. Had the pie of the day my husband had home made lasagne my 4 girls had chicken nuggets. Food was delicious. Staff were very friendly and accommodating especially with 4 kids. Going for lunch can be a nightmare, but we felt most welcomed. Recommend to family and friends.

visited on sunday the roast was amazing great staff!! they were brilliant with the kids friendly atmosphere and beautiful garden x

This place is under new management and it is great. I'm over from the US and visiting family and wanted a change. Thought we'd give The Vine a try. Very glad we did. There were eight of us and we all had a great time today. A wonderful Sunday roast lunch - DELICIOUS!Thanks

had a lovely sunday roast in here the meat was tender and flavoursome the veg were all fresh veg and was impressed by the size of the portions. The staff were friendly and the beer garden was very inviting on a lovely sunny day. Great value for money and will be visiting again.

im a fussy person when eating out i have to be because of health issues, this was taken into consideration by the new manager, i would def go again and i wish the manager the best of luck and tha k you for such a reat experience.

A fairly standard pub, serving good enough food (I enjoyed the penne), at a reasonable price. Not a gastro pub but slightly better than average pub. In Tarring so not obviously place to find. has small but decent beer garden for good weather.

Very nice pub in Tarring Village we sat in the pub garden. The food was excellent my chilli jacket potato came with side salad and coleslaw. My husband had a huge omelette with side salad and chips. My daughter had cheesy nachos beautifully presented. We all enjoyed our meals . Would certainly go back.

I took my mum here for lunch. We had to wait a while for our roast, which the chef apologised for. It was just like a home cooked meal but the Yorkshire was flat and you had trouble cutting it with a normal knife. When the table next to us got their meal I noticed the Yorkshires were huge, light and fluffy looking. I was massively disappointed.

Very good sandwiches here. I went here after a visit to the Denver Botanical Gardens. Very nice casual place with good service. There were six adults and two babies and we had no trouble finding a table to fit us all in. We started with their famous pub fries with extra cheese. My wife had a going bird sandwich which was a chicken based. I had the speakeasy sandwich that was steak based with their own garlic mayo. Everything we had was very good including The vegetarian food my daughter had. They have a great selection of beer as most places in Colorado seem to have. Service was very good with a knowledgeable waitress and quick service for a party as large as ours. I will go back.

Food was cold and the veg were cooked to oblivion.We witnessed every plate of food going back to the kitchen.Such a shame because it's a nice little pub.

Quite a nice place for a pint with friends. Garden would be nicer if not full of smokers on a hot summer's night. Staff friendly.

On cycle pub tour with around fourteen friends over the bank holiday easter weekend and our first stop was a quick visit to this pub.We only had drinks but the bar keeper was able to deal with fourteen thirsty cyclists quickly and with good humour. They had a good selection of Ale's and Lager's on tap, one of my fellow cyclists found his ale to be dull and lifeless and it was changed without complaint and the ale taken off pending further investigation as you'd expect from a good pub.There's also a nice patio / garden area at the rear of the bar should you be lucky and get good weather.We expect to return.

A lovely traditional pub, friendly landlord and staff, good service, will be going back for a meal one evening soon.+

Organised a huge family meal (with everyone wanting different meals and lots of variations!) and Kerry and her staff catered to everyone's need. The food was outstanding, as was the service and we are already planning our next visit! Deserts to die for, beautifully presented! Thanks so much for looking after us all so well!

One of the first pubs my husband and I visited when we first moved to Sussex from London. Really enjoyed the pub quiz on Thursday nights. Good service and friendly. Pub garden ideal for kids/play area with plenty of seating.

Returned for another home cooked Sunday lunch - as always - absolutely amazing food and such friendly great staff who go the extra mile to help - especially Jena who ensures it all runs so smoothly! Highly recommended and such good value for money. Great selection of roasts too. Beats a carvery anytime! See you again very soon.

First visit and will definitely go back when in the area Roast dinner like mum makes.. Had a Sunday dinner and couldn't fault it. All the staff were lovely, helpful & friendly. Value for money

Superb food, service - they catered for 14 for a special celebration and it was brilliant. Already planning our next visit! I also went there for mothers day too which again, was amazing - they go to so much effort! 5 Stars to you all!

Every time I have been in the Vine the food has been excellent and the staff have been very welcoming. I thoroughly enjoy visiting!

Visited this pub today for their Saturday Easter egg hunt. We were a party of 9, 4 adults and 5 children. We had a lovely lunch, I myself had the chicken korma which tasted great. The staff were very friendly and helped the children with the easter egg hunt, they then got to decorate their own eggs and make chocolate cakes...all for £2! The only downfall to our visit was a large table with a party of about 15 customers who seemed intent on creating a bad atmosphere and wrongfully complaining to the staff about anything and everything...seemed to me they were after a free meal! The pub is recently under new management and I think they are doing a fantastic job! Definitely recommend!

Had such a lovely, warm experience here with my little family. The staff were so amazing with the kids, cracking jokes and making them laugh. My partner had the lasagne...beautiful....and I had the fish and chips...very traditional and a good price too! Children's meals were just the right portion size. Pudding was warm chocolate fudge cake served with ice cream...fabulous...will definitely be recommending and we will be back for my birthday next month. Well done and thank you to the amazing staff for making this such an enjoyable and relaxed experience, keep up the good work !!!

The staff seemed to think they were too good for their jobs and were not very attentive.Starter:I had Brie in breadcrumbs which was soggy, my partner ordered creamy mushrooms but ended up with deep fried mushroom in breadcrumbs and our friend had Wait Bait which smelled extremely fishy and didn't even come with a slice of lemon Mains: I had lasagna which was terrible, I have no idea you could mess up such a simply dish. The garlic bread tasted like butter and lazy garlic, the lasagna its self had no béchamel sauce and about 2cms of orange grease on the top of it (I sent this back and declined more food). My partner had a bog standard Ham Egg & Chips. Our friend had a caesar salad which consisted of mix leaves, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, chicken, bacon and parmesan not a traditional caesar salad and we also had to request the caesar dressing! Desert: We did not dare eat anymore after the terrible first courses. Not only the above... during our meal the staff kept popping the the Tesco around the corner for more salad and another things for the kitchen also the WIFI did not work.I would not recommend to anyone, had to write this review as everyone else on here seems to think it is amazing. We went in on a Saturday Lunchtime.

I am a local and I took a friend here for Sunday lunch 8/3/2015. The food was excellent I had the chicken soup to start and my friend had deep fried brie. We both had a roast I had lamb and my friend had beef again excellent loads of different veg and the meat was lovely and tender we finished off with a coffee. The staff were friendly and there was a real family atmosphere. As I am local I will definately be using it more often.Well doneVanessa

Very well run pub with really well delivered menu and service. This pub is on the up and has really grasped the local pub feel with good quality food and atmosphere. The bar staff are all lovely too which adds of course to the atmosphere and overall experience.

We came along for the Spanish tapas night and had a great evening. Food was delicious and the service from all the ladies was fab! Looking forward to coming back and checking out some of the other events!

My partner and I went for a burger on a Tuesday evening as they do 2 4 1 on that day and it was very tasty and they also do badger ales too

We returned to this establishment after two years. The pub has had several different managers but we were curious to see what it was like now. One of the old managers had jazz nights which proved quite popular with locals but when new management took over the jazz moved on elsewhere. Unfortunately the locals followed suit. The new manager and staff were friendly. The food was plentiful and the menu has been extended quite a lot. I had a chicken dish which was really nice and my husband had lamb shank which he enjoyed immensely. They have brightened up the dining area, but there still seems a way to go on the decorating I think - although it still felt cosy. Value for money was good -we will be back again - and I am sure everyone will give it another try and discover it is once again on the up !

Visited The Vine on Christmas Day with another couple for dinner as a treat from them, I thought we were extras in a x rated carry on film, we got our drinks and sat at our table, we were served our first course of soup within 15 minutes of being seated, everything seemed fine, although the excessive swearing from others sat near by was very unpleasant, finished the soup then just waited and waited and waited finally after 90 minutes and several beers we decided to leave, it soon became obvious that people around us were friendly with the landlord as people were questioning why we were leaving, after a heated exchange we walked out, it was the worst experience of my life, diabolical, we could of walked to Bethlehem before getting served in here. Avoid

I have been to this pub over the last few months and have to say it's great! Food is reasonably priced and lovely, especially the Sunday lunch. Had a lovely birthday lunch there today. Staff are so friendly. And they cater for children which is great with the menu. Also just noticed they are doing nice events for the kids, like things for Halloween. Great place would really recommend

Live quite local but haven't been here for ages as a previous landlady decided to run the place into the ground. New people took over earlier this year so we decided to go for lunch on a sunny Sunday in July. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu offered a couple of roasts plus some other options and several choices for vegetarians. Orders taken promptly and we were soon eating some rather excellent roast dinners. After our meal, feeling rather stuffed, we retired to the large sunny garden with a bottle of wine.A wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We will be back.

I was taken here for a birthday lunch on 31 August. There were16 of us, and very few other customers for food. Having written down our orders as we were fed up with waiting for anyone to show any interest in our order, we waited about half an hour for some very mediocre luke warm soup. The main courses took another half an hour. Hard vegetables, my chilli had no rice, but stacks of nachos and about a dessert spoonful of meat. One of our party had gravy spilt on her - good job it was not very hot! Coffees were served before the sweets which were limited in choice - not even cheese and biscuits on offer. No asking if everything was satisfactory and one of the most off hand and rude bosses I've met for many a year. Good job the company was good. Wonder why none of us will rush back for a return visit!!!!

Dined at this newly decorated eatery on a Saturday afternoon, food, service and atmosphere were all great!

Fantastic pub, I visited last month and the atmosphere was great and the manager was very friendly, some great ales too which is what my dad enjoys most about trips to the pub.

From the outside the pub looks small yet inviting with its beautiful hanging baskets. We live local to the area but had not visited the pub but many friends raved about the great service and gardens. We were greeted by the manager who was warm and friendly. Our children headed straight for the play area whilst we sat at one of the many picnic tables (choice of in the sun or shade!). Ordering our drinks and meals was a quick and pleasant experience with a varied menu and efficient bar service. The portions were huge and of good quality. Overall I would definitely recommend this pub as a fantastic family friendly restaurant in Worthing. Tip. If our coming in a car there is a car park opposite!

Haven't been here for years but was pleasantly surprised . We sat out in the garden and enjoyed our meal of filo pastry roasted veg tart, my only moan was they didn't have any new poatoes . The staff were very pleasant and we were served very well. I would certainly recommend a visit to this pub in the lovely Tarring Village .

Popped into The Vine in Tarring with friends, haven't been there for months as thought it had gone downhill, was surprised and pleased to find they have a new owner and fabulous new team in place. Very friendly, food great value for money. A really enjoyable evening. Worth a visit without a doubt whether it's with the family for a meal (as have a nice garden for the kids) or just a quick drink after work. Will certainly be going there again on a regular basis. Please do try it. The new manager is also very easy on the eye! :-)

The Vine Tarring. Booked a table for 1pm, just in case (always wise). Started with a delicious Virgin Mary (me driving) and ordered the Roast Beef. Got to say it was fantastic. Beef just off pink, but moist and melted in the mouth, crispy tatties, wonderful creamy mashed swede, awesome brocolli and delicious gravy. Oh...and a ball of stuffing too (which was a nice surprise). Crispy yorkshire finished it off nicely. Everything homemade, fresh and awesomely presented. I was actually full after finishing everything off, but managed a walk to the garden/patio and ordered the home made deep apple pie and ice cream in the sunshine. Again......WOW. For £7.95 for 1 course, and £9.95 for 2 courses, this place cannot be beaten. Lovely friendly staff, kiddy and dog friendly, nothing to much trouble this is one to try. On a sunny day like today, the lovely enclosed garden and patio was brilliant, there's a childrens play area at the top of the garden too to keep the little monkeys amused. A small selection of wines, and a good prosecco on order which will please the bubble fanatics. Great beer selection too. Definitely one NOT to miss. Booking is advised as this place is quickly gaining an excellent reputation.I've got to give this place 10/10 ! (ps...weekday menu also looks great, and lots of choices for Vegetarians on the specials board).

Busy day, didn't fancy cooking. The Vine is very convenient for us so chose to go there for an evening meal. At 1900 were showing horse racing which effectively blocked off the eating area. Advised that only one more race to go, so returned at 1935 and were able to get table. Good service and enjoyable meal. Will be back and will take friends.

Great food, great atmosphere very friendly staff. You cant go wrong if you visit this pub. We only went for a quick drink and a bite to eat and ended up staying until closing time. The new management seem to know what they are doing. Definitely worth a visit.

They have brought back the fish and chips but nothing exciting added to the menu. Still rather limited for vegetarians . Not a Mac Donald's fan but a burger should have sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onion a bit dull withoutVeggie chilli was quite tasty with fluffy baked potatoProbably go back it's handy for me.

Last week we decided to have a Sunday roast out , and went along to the Vine Tarring , recently changed hands we were interested to see what the food was like, arriving at 1.30 were concerned it might not be fresh , not so ,choice of chicken or beef, we chose the beef , good choice, mashed swede ,roast pots ,fresh broccoli and home made Yorkies, the young lad serving was pleasant, seemed to know the locals, notice boards show music acts and quizzes a regular occurance, looks like they are really trying hard ,the test , we will return, and take company.

Visited here with friends recently knowing it had changed hands and having read some reviews thought we’d see what it was like. We booked a table a couple of days before but this wasn’t necessary as the restaurant was empty. Having ordered our food we noticed that there was a notice for a disco that evening and some equipment was in the corner. It soon became obvious that the eating area was next to the music area when people started moving tables and chairs. Even though it wasn’t supposed to start until 8.00 the music started 20 minutes before just as we started our first course.We therefore said to the manager that we would only have the starter as clearly to eat in the midst of loud music was not going to be a pleasurable experience. There were no other free tables outside the music area The manager clearly understood and was apologetic and we only paid for the starters, the drinks being gratis. However, it was a great pity the person that took the booking (think from the voice it was the manager) did not mention the music when we booked. Therefore although the food for the starter was good we did not have the opportunity to sample the main course. We had a main course at another local pub restaurant that never fails to let us down and the food is normally excellent.

After visiting friends in the area we stopped in the vine for something to eat and drink.we were warmly met by the manager who was the perfect host.food was top notch and was equally matched by the real ales. Definitely worth the visit and will be going again very soon.

The vine is a beautiful little pub in worthing. Fantastic garden, dining area, bar area. Well decorated, well presented! The food is fantastic, all local meats and fresh. I was spolit for choice on the amount of different drinks. Fabulous choice of local ales. The staff are friendly, chatty and happy. I would say just go and have a look.... The pub is now doing well after the re vamp the new land lord has done. This place is a must go

We stopped for dinner at this cosy pub on the way hope from a day out in Worthing. I have to say after reading a local report in the paper we thought we would pop in and see for ourselves the refreshed pub. We were not disappointed, cosy inside, great large garden and a menu that spoils you for choice. The Brie wedges were amazing and there burgers are that from a posh restaurant would happily recommend this as a stop for anyone. Friendly staff and great locals make this a perfect stop.

Went here with the intention of having something to eat but for the price of the drinks we would at least expect to sit on chairs that didnt feel like they were about to collapse. (Gave an average rating for food as didnt even order as felt so unwelcome but it may be good) We do like the old style pubs but this place takes it a step too far - definetly needs new furniture. Also not very welcoming when doorways are blocked by smokers and barmaid is more interested in reading her newspaper than serving anyone.

The Vine Tarring is a wonderful local pub serving great ales, lagers and home cooked pub food.I met there today for a meeting and some lunch.I had an off the menu dish which Kay cooked for me. I really fancied a three egg omelette with cheese onion and tomato-----It was fantasimoko.I believe the live entertainment on an a weekend evening is superb and great fun.Great pub to visit see for yourself .Ron & Kay Thank you very much.

Will visit again thank you we have our village pub back yes pub not restaurant.sells good pub grub atmosphere brill live music every weekend sports ect. Its a pub with good homecooked food and loyal locals.

We went here a couple of weekends ago, at 6pm on a Saturday night after hearing it had reopened. We used to use this pub every so often and whilst the previous landlady was clearly in the wrong profession, we enjoyed the food and wine. This time we were completely disappointed, nothing has really changed. Before you even get in the pub you have to manouver around the smokers who congrgate around the door. I pity the people who live in the surrounding houses, I have no idea why the manager doesn't insist on the smoking taking place in the beer garden. it was actually quite intimidating, however we thought we would give it a try. Inside nothing has changed, it looks dated and hardly any seats in the actual bar area. The few regulars they do seem to have are sat around the bar and the language was absolutely horrendous. You certainly would not want to bring children in here. At no time were they asked to keep it down. We only had one drink as we actually felt quite uncomfortable. I noticed that on the wall was a notice from the council as the pub had had complaints regarding noise , I felt that this was merely displayed as almost a badge of honour, a pub ASBO, not as a reminder to the clientele. We were hoping to eat but as we didn't enjoy the atmosphere we downed our drinks and left. When we got outside we were greeted by one of the smokers shouting across the street to his friends whilst clearly urinating in the corner of the entrance to the car park. Delightful! As long as these types of people are encouraged there will be no hope for this establishment. It seems to get the bad leftovers from The George & Dragon. The sooner it closes and someone takes it on as maybe a restaurant the better.AVOID.

me and my Family always used to drink in this pub however about 2 years ago they changed managers and it all went down hill from there.they put a really moody and rude! owner in there and within 6 months they had no locals left in there one by one she upset them all!!!however as i write this on the 28th may 2013.i went in the other day and it is under new management again but the new owners could not help you enough! (Ron and Kay) have taken this pub on when it was at its lowest and done a superb job of bringing this pub back to former glory i am now a loyal local again Ron and Kay are there to stay and they really pull out all the stops for anyone who walks through the door.if your a local your beer is on the bar before you even arrive which is always nice to feel welcome.the vine is a very friendly pub with a good atmosphere and brilliant choice of cold beer and food and all the locals are as friendly as they come.Fridays they normally have live bands.(always a laugh)sometimes have live bands Saturdays and Sundays as well.the food is superb from bar snacks/food to roasts Kay does a brilliant job. if you are a veggie don't worry just talk to Kay and she will make whatever you would like to order. nothing is a problem!!the pub is very old and i would recommend to anyone to come and have a drink and learn the history of when it was a brewery and how it all come about.Honestly don't take my word for it come down and see for yourself.The Vine27-29 High StreetTarringWest WorthingWest SussexBN14 7NNtel: 01903 202891BEST PUB IN WORTHING!

Having been advised that the Vine was under new management, I have paid three visits over the Christmas period, one on a Saturday lunch time, one on a Tuesday evening and the last on a Sunday afternoon during the Ale festival. The first positive is that the beer has been of a consistently high quality. On every occasion the bar staff have been friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is a little lacking, but I think over time when more people realise that the offensive previous landlady has departed, then more people will use the Vine and the atmosphere will pick up. I have not tried the food, but friends who have report that it is good pub grub at very reasonable prices. As for Jcbon comments about the cleaning, all I can say is that it a marked improvement on the very low standards set by the previous landlady. Will visit again in the near future to see if the improvements continue. Only marked as 3 star due to the lack of atmosphere otherwise it would have been a 4 star.

Really looking forward to a few drinks in the Vine under new management as many years ago this pub used to be the best in Worthing. The bar staff were friendly enough, the beer fine but on a Saturday night after 8pm I do not expect to see children under 5 running round the pub unsupervised. No wonder the place was as dead under the new management as it was under the offensive old one.Shame as it would be good to have two good pubs in Tarring

Always loved the food and atmosphere here on previous occasions but today was awful. Call that food. As for the welcome and all that rubbish that's exactly what it was!!

We went to the Vine on a saturday evening with family who were visiting. The welcome was good and the staff were friendly and cheerful, we were even shown to the table near the radiators as it was very cold outside and we must have looked frozen. Our order was dealt with quickly and the food was hot and there was lots of it, only just managed to finish my main course so unfortunately no room left for pudding! Atmosphere wise it could have been a bit busier which would have helped but as I understand the pub is under new management and it takes time for business to be built up especially as the reviews for the previous management were not good. I wish the new people well as we had a good evening out and will visit again.

Lovely atmosphere, really good food and excellant value for money compared with the last lot that had the pub. The new managers are really nice, helpful and friendly and the pub is so welcoming, what a difference. A great pub to relax, drink and eat. Will definately be back.

The new managers at the Vine are clearly working very hard to pick this pub up and get it on its feet again. The food may be labelled as “traditional pub grub” but, frankly, we felt the fish and chips were far better than the last few times we experienced the previous chef’s ‘gastro-pub’ offering. The aim seems to be to keep it simple but good – and is hitting that nail on the head. The staff are also far friendlier and keen to serve you food and drink with a smile – another improvement. It has certainly encouraged us to go back and to recommend it to others.

Although new to the pub the management have worked hard in the few weeks they have been there, cleaning, scrubbing making it a bright and cheerful pub. The food menu is all how a pub should be, proper pub grub, all homemade and piping hot on the plate and extremely delicious. Very good value for money , yum yummy. Went in there with Sunday roast on our minds, ended up with scampi, steak n ale pie and bbq ribs, all with chips, mmmmmm.. Can't wait to go back.

Walking into the Vine can feel a little bit like a scene in Deliverance - there is a distinctly 'cliquey' feel to the place.I was with a group of old friends, so we made our own atmosphere, but it's not the place for a romantic tryst. After you settle in though, there is good grub to be had in the back and at least you won't struggle to find a table.

Have never met such a rude obnoxious land lady . 4 people in the bar on a sun afternoon she deserves to go bust. Wake up smell the coffee and realise you work in the service industry. And your food ain't that good either. Left after being treat like the dog pooh on her shoe and went to the Thomas a Beckett oh my god what a change.

Awful experience, unwelcoming bar staff, over priced drinks of poor quality...ie flat lemonade and coke..urgh! No way would you want to return, take your money elsewhere!

The beer is good, the food is average the landlady is rude, unfriendly and not at all helpful. Shame really as this pub has so much potential to be a really traditional pub. Will only visit again if my friends insist.

Went there for lunch just before Christmas. We sat at the large table in the bar as there was a large party in the back. There was a large TV on the wall by the table. As we were the only people in the bar we asked if it could be turned down a bit so we could talk and were told no as the customers like it. As we were the only people in the bar for the whole time we were in there, that was not very welcoming and very irritating. We ordered food. The burger was huge and nice. I had fish and chips which was greasy and full of bones and swimming in mushy peas - yuk. The Liver and bacon looked nice but the mash was full of mustard!! Good choice of beer, but won't eat in there again.

Loved the cooking, nice pub garden & the landlord is a really nice chap (& a great cook). However, service front of house is very variable & can at times be really unfriendly . There are too many rules & comments that can stifle the atmosphere in the pub. Front of house seriously needs to look at the way it treats it's customers.
