Tides — Restaurant in Worthing

Stopped here as found on Google with 4.6🌟 Very unassuming and small restaurant, but none the less well equipped maximising space with a sun room out front with heaters as well as outside seating. As we had just turned up, we were informed that the only space was in the sun room, and I actually preferred this as we have one guest attending with in a wheelchair. We sat down and got ourselves comfy. I popped inside to get some menus. This was when I had been informed it was table service! Oops! We decided on drinks and food fairly quickly, but it took a little while to have the order taken, once it was the drinks arrived not long after. Sadly, we did wait a very long time on our food to come, with no music or background noise it felt even longer, drinks were long finished by the time the food arrived with no offer for any more, never mind though.. the food was very nice indeed, far exceeded my expectations on what looked to be a little "corner café", good portion sizes, well cooked and reasonably priced. It is a shame about how long the wait although I over heard a waitress speaking to another table and saying "this is not our usual service speed" so maybe there way a trainee in the kitchen? 🤷‍♀️

Plates quickly cleared after I had stacked them then we had to wait for our dessert board as it was at another table. We all had dessert each and by this point it was closing time 3pm, we made our exit.

Thank you to the ladies/gents that served us, we hope to...

Went here for breakfast recently, and chose it because it was nearby. I couldn't have chosen a better place! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant decor was lovely, with some nice pictures and ornaments complementing the "Tides" name. The menu was varied and good value. They also had a nice outside seating area, part of which was undercover, for those who would like to be more outside, but the weather might not be cooperative. I wouldn't hesitate to go here again, and I would highly recommend it for someone looking for a slightly more personal touch than the larger (often chain)...

First time here and it was packed on a Thursday lunch so a good job we'd booked but well worth it. Brilliant home cooked food the pie and chips I had was to die for! Piping hot and delicious with lots of chunky chicken and ham. Others had great food too. Desserts all home made and great. Visited again Aug 24 and again great food. Busy on a Tuesday lunch but we were promptly served. Mains were fantastic but desserts a little disappointing. Just needed whipped cream on the top of the summer fruits sundae and a fresh strawberry to actually make it look...
