The Toad in the Hole — Restaurant in Worthing

Good range of beers, friendly efficient staff and and a generally friendly atmosphere (a good eclectic range of people). Also, there were no children/babies in pub...hooray!!! ( I think I might open my own pub one day to specically make it child unfriendly). I only gave it 3 stars because some of it really needs refurbishment or a very deep clean,especially at the back seating area. It has recently been taken over, so hopefully, the new owners have plans to do this. When we went, there was a DJ playing. Although the music was good, it was too loud for the size of the pub. I never see the point of a DJ in a pub. They take up room and are always too loud. You may as well just make a good 'mixtape' or Spotify playlist. But that's just a personal moan on my part. Certainly, The Toad in Hole has the potential to be an excellent pub. I can definitely see me going there more often. It just needs a bit more...

Friendly greeting, locally brewed beer and a great place to relax with a pint. The first impression was an incredibly welcoming bloke behind the bar, then you have a wonderful selection of ales brewed just along the road in West Worthing (this makes it eco friendly drinking right?). The 3 main beers on tap start at 3.8% and go up to 4.6% for the strongest. The beers are really about flavour, not knocking your head off with strength, they deliver here and I loved them. There were some other options for the American IPA crowd. Decor wise, it's simple no frills affair, there's plenty of tables and some outside space. Didn't see much food offering, but some good pub snacks. Definitely...

Great bar staff who were friendly, helpful and a pleasure to spend time with. The dark beer on cask (and keg) was so so but better than the usual Guinness only choice down south.

However, the barrel aged imperial stout in the fridge is fabulous. It deserves to be drunk more and it's a crying shame they apparently don't sell more. I'm going back to get a few bottles to take home with me back up north!

The place itself has a lovely homely vibe (well like our home anyway). It's cosy and strange and a mess and characterful and relaxing. Loved the place.
