please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Recently refurbished, twice now in the last 4 years or so, probably because it gets well used. Wide selection of beers but mostly lagers. Menu also revised, more interesting, and slightly better quality. Staff attentive and polite but you can find yourself waiting ages to get served sometimes, prices reasonable. A regular chain pub with all that comes with pub chains.

All changed here im afraid, totally hopeless if your hungry. Ordered scampi and chips got 7 pieces of scampi and eleven chips. Enough said, go anywhere else in Worthing and get at least a reasonable quantity of food. Avoid if you want a meal worth sitting down for, not a kiddies portion, such a shame as looks good inside.

Rather unexpected find. Good food and very reasonable beer, both at a good price

If it has closed, that's sad, it used to be a good bar billiards venue, so fond memories. Mind you, I'm going back thirty years !

Passed this place early the other morning for the first time in about a year and my god what a run down dump it now looks from the outside, smashed down wall, two foot weeds everywhere, such a shame as it used to look so welcoming from the road. Mind you as I say its been about a year since I last saw it and maybe its now derilect and awaiting demolition, surely this must be the case as I cant imagine Ember Inns allowing this once smart pub to do business with the frontage looking like a war zone. Is it now closed up, can somebody please enlighten me...Many Thanks

A typical chain pub - lost it's atmosphere (I used to be a regular here about 5 years ago when I was working at NU)
Food not up to much, typically microwaved to heat.....not a traditional pub by any stretch of the imagination

Popped in here for the usual drink which happens to be sherry and diet coke, met up with the west sussex ramblers association (we usually meet at another pub) First impressions weren't too good there was a cat and a parrot making a horrendous racket, we asked the landlord if he could sort his pets out but he didn't know who they belonged to. So here we were trying to have a meeting and there was a parrot sqwauking and a cat miaowing, never mind I thought so I ordered some food I decided on the ribs with jacket potato and coleslaw, I think there might of been some meat on before it was cooked all I got served was a plate of bones. The landlord looked like she had been beaten up by her husband the night before.
Despite all of this I would return.

This pub is truly shocking! The food is either under cooked or burnt. The staff are all young chavs who are more interested in mucking about with the landlord who is also completly useless. No managerment skills and is more interested in chatting up and getting drunks with the female visitors than actually managaing a pub. This pub has gone down hill in the last 12 months...It is looking worn and old. The staff are useless, food is rubbish and the music is so loud you cant have a converstation! Time for a new landlord I think!

Firtst impression not good. All the menus were covered in food. Ordered a steak. Rare. Came up well done. Ordered another steak.Rare. Came up medium. All other food could have come from Brakes Brothers value section. Unimpressive. Maybe they should employ some cleaners, and also train the staff in the kitchen. Beer was OK - and that was the only good thing I could say.

Always liked the North star pub food is standard fair but decent enough , good beers and has staropramen on tap which is a bonus - would have been my local when i lived in Worthing.

Mmmmm....very good on the food side, a bit of effort on the beer side would help!!

I must agree with the previous posters. Honestly. the food is plastic crap!
Please , until people in this country make a stand against places like this that are run by accountants and not by chefs we will be forced to endure some of the worst food in Europe.
England awake!
(Well, moan about rubbish food at least)

We made the mistake of choosing this pub (our first visit) on Monday lunchtime for what we hoped would be a pleasant family meal to celebrate my daughter's birthday. We had with us my grandson who is a year old. We entered the pub at the side entrance from the car park. There are no signs at this entrance from here that children under 14 are not welcome. My daughter went to find a seat with her son and was approached by a bar attendant/manager who curtly said "no children allowed in this pub" and simply turned around and marched off as she was trying to ask him to inform the rest of us, who had gone to the bar to order drinks to stop us from doing so. He ignored her and just returned to the bar leaving her to rapidly gather everything together including my grandson and chase after us to stop us buying drinks. This man had a generally unpleasant manner, was surly and ignorant. We can have no complaint about the "house rule" regarding children but the aggressive way we were informed was simply rude and unecessary. Fortunately, this cloud had a silver lining! Searching for somewhere else to go we found ourselves at "The Farmhouse" just down the road. We were warmly welcomed, sat outside on a pleasant terrace, excellent food and the staff and service both superb.

When I come back to see my parents I have to pop into my local [which is this one], I come here with my mates and catch up on what's been happning. It's really good because it feels like your in a pub in town but your not! you can still chat and you can hear what they say and hear really cool tunes too!! I recommend this pub for the youngsters or the people that still act young inside [like me!]!! Not for the grumpy people, this pub is for happy chatty people who what to chat with there mates and get really drunk and if you boring and want to sit quitely in a pub go to the Lamb up the road!
