this pub has had a lot of bad press over the years the new landlady has changed all that, she has worked here for many years and has taken the step up to manager in her stride, they have a karaoke every other friday, themed food nights on thursday's eg chilli night, curry night, sweet and sour etc. nothing on the menu is too expensive and with becks vier, 2 real ales, and boddingtons only �1.95 a pint why are'nt you there now?? its going to take a lot to get people back in that have been put off or had a bad experience in the pub but all i can sugest is give it a try i think you will be pleasantly suprised, i was

Ok where do we begin, now being called the trout (this to trick people into thinking that its a posh eating establishment). The place has been open 5 years had at least 1 set of managers every 6 months some have'nt even lasted that long, the longest serving managers were Paul and Theresa Jacobs (1 whole year), the couple that have just jumped ship lasted all of 6 weeks, I hasten to add not because of the clientel, (all the touble eliments have been removed, AND WILL NOT BE RETURNING) they were not making any money, not suprisingly as the food value went from being hearty home cooked pub food at very affordable prices to stuff people could'nt pronounce let along afford to eat, this is not going to work, the pub is situated in the middle of several social housing estates, where most of the residents can't afford to eat out and when they can it would'nt be to the local, at the moment its a dead hole BUT the "new managers" want to try and turn it back to the affordable eatery it was a few months back, good luck to them I say (they are going to need it), Its got itself a bad reputation over the years,lets forget that bit about it its a really lovely place with a huge decking area, fish pond, friendly loyal staff some have seen all the managers in and out. Go and give it a try, I think you might be plesently suprised

Under new Management and now called the Trout, seems to have gone downhill big style, only 3 people in the bar at 6.30 on a Saturday night avoid as much better pubs around the area than this.

New management, enormous improvements and smokers are well catered for. Visitors, well worth the short detour. Well worth 8/10

this pub has only been open 4 years and in that time it has seen 14 managers some good some not so good but despite all this the staff seem to stay loyal and are always more than happy to serve you. the bar area does on occasion get a bit loud and rowdy but what can you expect it is a pub. the managers at the present time are dave and nicky and are promoting family values and encourage families with children, dogs are more than welcome.

We've only been here a couple of times, nice place with a huge conservatory as a dining area, good outside area with a fish pond and a good pint but....a bit of foul language in the bar area ! I tend to agree with forresearchreasonsonly below (20 Aug 06)

Another good development by the Chapman group. Chris has injected so much life into the old town over the years he should be given the freedom of Worthing. This is a really nice pub but>>>>
This part of town is inhabited by thousands of fantastic, honest working class people looking out for each other and getting on with life. And about 20 families transported from London mostly but some from Brighton during scum clearance programs that make this part of Worthing a living hell if you happen to even pass through here . So beware, you have been warned. Some streets around here are no go areas.
