I've been here on a Friday evening in the summer with family, including my young toddler. The…read moreoutdoor area was promising, a children's play area surrounded by lawn with tables to eat your meal or have a drink while you watch them. I was feeling very happy that I had stumbled across this pub until the meal arrived. Dry battered fish, cold chips and my other family member`s meals were not much better. The dessert took 30 minutes to arrive and we had only ordered a few scoops of ice cream! I won't be returning any time soon for a meal.

Nice open fire and really relaxed lighting in the evening. They could do with a few more real ales on tap in my opinion but there's enough to satisfy. Old Speckled Hen is one of my favourites anyway. Plenty of nice New World wines available. I had the barbecue ribs when I ate there and they were fantastic. Just the right amount and really nice and tender.

What a shame! This place has had a makeover over the last few years. It used to be one of my…read morefavourite pubs and I hadn't used it for ages until last night. Regret going there. Cannot recommend the food. My wife and friend had Lamb shanks, which were nice but the veg were done to death and served plated up! New potatoes cremated! My mates' steak was good but chips 'orrible! As for my Linguine Bolognese, or perhaps I should say my pasta and basic mince, was sooooooo disappointing. Very dry and lacked any sauce, so my friend shared her gravy with me! Nice of her, but not quite the same is it? No taste at all and so limited on Grana Pedano cheese. Wish I'd had the cheese-boardbut not at £8!!!! As for the desserts..little choice. My friend settled for Jam Roly Poly and Custard. Her opinion.terrible. Was stale and tasteless. Could have had better in a Transport Cafe'. Will give it the 2 star as it sold Doombar bitter, which is always nice.

The menu is great, all cooked to perfection but could be a little bit cheaper in my opinion. £17 was a lot for sea bass fillets. That's my only gripe though, there is cheaper things on the menu. The decor in this place makes for a truly enjoyable time.

We intended on doing a Worthing pub crawl but didn't think we could better the relaxed atmosphere in here or the Summer Lightening so we stayed all night. This place deserves it's spot in The good Beer guide with four well kept ales spanning the colour spectrum from golden to mild, and the inclusion of everything that is traditional about the British pub. The bar staff were efficient and friendly, it was quite busy mid afternoon but I was still served quickly. This is a small place with no food and no frills but with loyal punters, many of whome spoke to us and said how much they loved the place! I wish I lived nearby as there is an exciting callender of events including choirs and morris dancing. And it's well within walking distance of the station and dogs are allowed.

The food is a mix of traditional British classics and some quite off the wall things like lamb kofta (which was very nice indeed).

Has anyone else noticed the lack of dumplings on menus these days? Is it considered naff to eat dumplings? The whole place had a nice warm atmosphere and the bar staff were really great.

Worthing has plenty of bars, mostly chain type ones or of similar vibe, but this fairly new micropub truly is amazing. Opened and run by a true gent named Nigel, what is delivered when you visit is a warm welcome accompanied by a perfectly poured pint. A complete free house, Anchored supports the local breweries mainly around Sussex to bring you the freshest real ales and ciders. They don't open on a Monday because that's the day they are busy collecting the ever changing stock of perfectly kept drinks. The best pub in Worthing - FACT
