Rose & Crown Worthing

Head down Montague Street and you'll find yourself in one of Worthing's best-kept drinking spots. The Rose & Crown pulls off that tricky balance of being genuinely welcoming without feeling try-hard — it's the kind of place where locals actually prop up the bar, but newcomers are treated like old friends. The beer selection is properly curated (craft union does this well across their pubs), and the food goes beyond typical pub fare without getting pretentious about it. Expect proper portions, decent ingredients, and prices that won't have you reaching for the piggy bank.
