George & Dragon

Head down to High Street in West Tarring and you'll find yourself in one of Worthing's most unpretentious corners—the sort of place where regulars actually know the bar staff's names. The George & Dragon does what a local pub should: it's comfortable without trying too hard, the kind of spot where you can nurse a pint for hours or pop in for a quick bite without anyone making you feel rushed. The food's straightforward and honest, not trying to reinvent the wheel, and the fact that nearly 500 people have rated it 4.5 stars suggests they're doing something right. It's the antidote to the seafront's louder venues—this is where West Tarring comes to unwind.
