The Corner House Free House & Garden

You'll find The Corner House right where Worthing's High Street does what it does best, and what you're getting is a proper independent boozer that doesn't answer to anyone's head office. The garden is the real draw—sprawling, thoughtfully planted, and the kind of place where you actually want to spend an afternoon rather than just tick off a visit. Inside, it's got that comfortable pub feel: good bones, proper ale selection, and the sort of crowd that knows what they're doing with a pint. It's the kind of place locals defend fiercely because it genuinely does things right, without any fuss or pretension.
