Services
We always strive to use locally-sourced top quality ingredients, ideally when they are in season. We change our menu monthly to go with the seasons and ensure that fruit, vegetables and fish are at their best. We look to do whatever we can to be part of our local community and to help out where we can.
Mid-week, we offer bistro style menus or mezze at lunchtime (Wednesday to Friday), with changes every 2 months and daily specials. Influences come from all over the world, but will always make the most of our local British produce. Our special events (Quiz, Pie Night, Masterclass, Eat The Movie and Test Kitchen) will always have a unique menu.
If you have a special occasion or event, then The Dining Room is ideally suited as you can hire the entire venue for a private booking. We can accommodate up to 24 seated guests or 45 standing. Venue hire is absolutely free when booking food and drink. We can also provide catering with bespoke menus - just talk to the team about what you have in mind.

We went there for our Christmas works meal. Unfortunately the food was below average, not cooked well at all, not appetising & poorly presented. I have had an upset stomach for the last 48 hours since eating there. It's a real shame, as would have given a better review if it had ticked the boxes stated above. Hope it can stay open if they can work on their cooking & menu's.

This was our first experience at The Dining Room - a special birthday celebration. We have been fortunate to eat in a number of beautiful restaurants over the years, and enjoyed many taster menus. What a revelation to find such a special place under our noses in Worthing!
Every dish was packed with flavour, and was individually memorable - I can still think my way through the menu. A few highlights for me were the pea and ham vellouté that accompanied the monkfish; the pomme dauphines with the meat course; and who’d have thought a red wine sorbet was just what I wanted!!

This is a bit of a late review as we went in May but really wanted to leave a comment. We had a great time and despite a mix up with the booking, the owner was so accommodating. We had the 7 course tasting menu with wine flight, which was beautifully presented. The food was amazing the chef changed my wifes fish course to aubergine, she loved it. Couple of the wines weren't what we would personally choose, but it offered a selection of white, red, rose and sparkling. It was a relaxed evening with superb service. We would highly recommend this dining experience.

We recently used The Dining Room’s event service for a 70th birthday. The food was delivered on time and on lovely serving platters. It all looked incredible and tasted wonderful too - and we had loads left over to eat later as well! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely be using them again and going into their restaurant!
