Perch on Worthing Pier

You're walking out onto Worthing Pier on a decent day, the sea air hitting you properly, and suddenly you've got a proper restaurant with actual ambition underneath your feet. Perch does seafood without the fuss or the eye-watering prices you'd expect from somewhere this close to the water. The kitchen takes pride in what they're doing—fresh fish, sensible cooking, nothing trying too hard. It's the kind of place locals actually book into, not somewhere you stumble into once and never return to. From your table, you're looking out at the Channel, watching the light change across the water.
