New Amsterdam — Restaurant in Worthing

Unsatisfactory experience with this pub. The overview on the website says it is wheelchair accessible It is quite a way from the main town centre & I travelled there by wheelchair to see a band I was told was on. There were steps up to the front door, but I was informed there was access through the back garden. Great, I thought. However the manager then told me the toilet was not accessible & there was no band on! What a waste of time & effort. I give it 2 stars because the garden looked good & it seemed popular & the manager was apologetic. (* Apologies - I must have misread site overview re accessible toilets, taking that there is accessible seating - none of which is any good if wheelchair users can't go to the toilet! I take the manager's point that it is a listed building so doors cannot be widened. I'm not sure what happened re the band, pretty sure I read or was told on the phone that there was music on that...

I like this pub, it's a nice mix of being able to slope off for a quiet drink with a buddy and having a big get together with plenty of pals. What I don't like is when I tried to complain about the food (which is delicious) but the fact that they had a sign out saying food was on from 12 and the chef didn't actually start till 2. The same thing happened 4 or 5 other times to me and my mates (who went separately over the next few months). The response from whoever runs the social media pages was rude, curt and basically told me to get over it. The face to face service could be friendlier too, some nice peeps in there but every now and then you get served my a bloke with a face like a smacked arse. Hey, we all have down...

Incredible atmosphere, from the get go it was obvious that the establishment has cultivated a welcoming and inclusive environment, in large part to the bar staff themselves who each have a refined sense of service to the patrons and so through this carefully calculated clique you are drawn into a feeling of friendship which is not easily shaken. SPEND YOUR TIME HERE AND LOATH ONLY IN THE REGRET THAT YOU HAD EVER MISTAKENLY INVESTED YOUR IRREPLACEABLE TIME ANYWHERE ELSE. p.s. You can have their receipts print out entire lyrics to songs at...
