The best restaurants in Worthing South East

The founder(s) of Marks & Spencer would turn in their grave(s) should they ever re-visit the Worthing store & café. Once the benchmark of quality & value with a dose of smugness the now ye olde British brand once aimed at a very specific now dying demographic has become tired & tacky. The clothes are average & the food becoming too expensive when others do it better. If there was a competition for the most disgusting toilets Worthing would get the first prize. One of the two men's cubicles has been out of service for months, a dripping tap in one of the disabled booths remained dripping for almost a year & of course as for the the very idea of a lift working? - don't be so silly. The café is pleasant enough providing you get there early before it gets busy & untidy with tables left uncleared. Should there be more than 3 people waiting to be served then take a book & a portable seat with you as the wait will be long, but you can be entertained in the meantime by observing how the staff serving food & drink take their time, chat merrily to each other and/or exchange long-winded pleasantries with customers & are brilliant at avoiding any eye contact with customers. M & S has had its day especially at Worthing.

The flour pot is my favourite café in Worthing. The staff are lovely and the coffee and bread are amazing! Nice and cozy inside and when summer comes around they have some tables outside to enjoy the sun

Amazing jerk chicken - amazing chef. Authentic Caribbean food. Chips super fresh and rice very fragrant. Highly recommend

Coffee lovely and nice staff in cafe but scrambled eggs disgusting, it appeared in 30 seconds and gave me an upset tummy.

Well, three stars is generous as far as the food, decor and ambiance are concerned, but the owner is so gentle and enthusiastic that two stars seems a bit mean. If the internet was working and we had read some of the reviews we wouldn’t have gone. As it is we waded though the chunks of onion that accompanied the popadoms, the salmon that tasted dry and too fishy for its own good, the sag paneer, bizarre for its lack of cheese. Worse of all was the doughy disc of supposed garlic nan so poor. Best thing was the kind prawn delight, hardly a delight but pretty good all the same.

Reading the previous comments they must have been to a different place to me. The food what there was was terrible. We dined on two occasions in a evening about 6.45 pm and the majority of the items were not available . What was served was absolutely nothing like any of the pictures on this website.where you say English food the only thing was fish and chips which they only had one portion. The real reason people did not have sweets they were unavailable.

Ordered here many of times however today we had a Sharp shard of plastic inside one of the dishes! Totally unsafe and unacceptable, unfortunately will never be ordering here again.

The Staff are truly what customer service is all about , I cannot praise them highly enough! The food is always fresh and exactly as I order ( i.e pickles on the side ) The ambience is so welcoming, not many places feel this comfortable for a solo diner believe me ... All in all , I enjoy being here !

Ordered a delivery, arrived 70 mins after promised time. Phone always busy, when I eventually got through they were very abrupt and not apologetic

We were so, so relieved to find the Hook fish and chip shop was open on a Monday evening in August! The removers finished moving us in and left at 8.30pm. We phoned in our order before picking it up. We had such a lovely welcome from Jimmy, excellent fish and superb chips. There were so many chips we had enough for 'oven chips' the next day - when they were still delicious. Not greasy, great taste. We have tried all the other local chip shops and now we only go to the Hook fish n chip shop. It's by far our favourite.

Been refurbished and sold on. When it was there, seemed like a quiet pub only frequented by the sport locals (except for a sunny weekend meal)

I visit this coffee shop regularly and the coffee is great and the service friendly. The cakes look lovely, but I would never eat any here because they are always uncovered and at coughing height - which is a shame. Today there were a couple of danish on a plate right next to the card machine (I had to be careful not to get my elbow in them they were so close) There are lots of coughs and sneezes around…

Really lovely friendly staff and excellent tasting food. The omelette and chips was an absolute winner, the best omelette I’ve tasted in years and a huge plateful! All food is freshly cooked and the tables are cleared and wiped regularly. Great location, so close to the sea. We will definitely be back!

I think there may have been a change of chef as we couldn’t eat what we ordered. Food not cooked properly (including hard noodles) and very over spiced. Nothing like the Thai food we know (and love).
