We had a great Secret Seven ‘menu degustation’ with wine flight last night at the Dining Room. We loved the scallops with fennel purée and black pudding crumb, the pork which was cooked to perfection and especially the grey mullet with a farro risotto and roasted tomato emulsion. It was finished off with a clever combination of banana and miso for dessert, and cheese (there was another dessert choice). A tasty starter of leek and blue cheese tart and a refreshing rhubarb sorbet along the way completed the menu. All courses were superbly cooked and presented with great service and carefully chosen wines. A great meal of just the right proportions and with a happy willingness to adjust to some dietary requirements. This (very good value) restaurant is not to be missed! We’ll certainly be back as the menu changes each month.

My partner’s mother was visiting and as she had an upcoming birthday, we decided to treat her to a celebratory dinner. We chose the Dining Room as we thought it would have a sense of occasion, and we weren’t disappointed. We had a lovely evening – it was a Saturday night so we had the 7 course tasting menu, with matching wines, and the dishes were tasty, varied and nicely cooked. Rosanna did a good job of explaining the dishes but didn’t overdo it. The menu changes regularly so by the time you read this, it may well be different – but in order we had: mackerel with gooseberry sorbet, cheese & onion empanada, monkfish with tomatoes & peas, rosemary & lemon sorbet, lamb with hasselback potatoes and roasted veg, a pre-dessert of brandy snap with mandarin & strawberries, then there was a choice of chocolate brownie with salted caramel gelato or a cheeseboard. Really – the standard of cooking was high and compared well to other restaurants which attempt similar fine dining tasting menus. There was plenty of food and the 4 wines which accompanied the menu were great. The chef came out towards the end to sing for us – which I don’t believe usually happens on a Saturday – and this added to our enjoyment. The bill for three with wine & tip was £220 – and given the amount of food, quality of ingredients and hospitality, we thought it was good value for money. Recommended for special occasions.

We were looking for a restaurant in Worthing where we could book and enjoy a relaxed dining experience. The Dining Room came up on our search and we decided that the June 2021 tasting menu looked fabulous and one we could enjoy. The food was excellent (photos show the courses) and the hosts superb. We enjoyed the complementing matched wines and we thought overall the food and wine was great value. We would recommend The Dining Room without hesitation and when are next back in Worthing, this will be the place we revisit. The hosts were full of ideas and we would be really thrilled to dine on a themed night they plan.

The Dining Room hosted our 'after ceremony' meal in June 2022 and did a fantastic job. The venue is perfect for an intimate meal with close family, bridesmaids and best men - just what we wanted. We dropped some of our themed decorations off the day before which were all laid out for us when we arrived. The food was delicious and so unique for our special day - they accommodated for all different tastes. They offered a wide selection of drinks and you can also bring your own drinks for a corkage fee which we utilised for the toast. The location was very convenient for us due to our ceremony taking place a few minutes drive away. Our guests loved the surprise of the 'signing chef' after the speeches - a great mix of songs! They even went the extra mile and recorded a video of the 'singing chef' for us to add to our wedding video as we had missed filming it due to enjoying ourselves too much! Very reasonable pricing for a special meal. We hope to come back to celebrate our anniversary here time and time again.

Really amazing cosy fine dining restaurant and really good value. About a third of the price of any in London and so far much tastier, still beautiful and with a far more reasonable portion size. So good I was back within 48hrs of dinner to try the lunch menu.

Went to the five course Test Kitchen and it was fabulous. An experimental menu is served for you to critique. My favourite things, food and my opinion! Each course was delicious and there was a form to fill, so you can imagine, I was in seventh heaven. But I forgot to mention on the feedback that the ice cream was the best so I hope they read this. Also dog friendly, plus the chef has a beautiful voice and sings at the end of the evening. He even serenaded the dog. 10/10, A+. Service impeccable, well stocked bar, nice facilities, well spaced tables, clean and organised. I'm going again. They do all sorts of evenings, such as pie night, quiz night, also a wine flight; I don't know what that is but I'm going, it's wine, after all, how bad can it be? Service was on proper plates, not a slate, chopping board or saucepan lid in sight, thank goodness. No pretensions here just great food.

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 went back to the dining room on Saturday evening . We had their June tasting menu which was excellent . My favourite dish was the scallop with sweet corn starter. Jean is a very innovative cook and consistently produces great food. I had the wine flight which was excellent value . The wine list is full of carefully chosen wines at a good price. As usual the evening was completed with the “Singing Chef” singing while he prepares the bills. The acoustics in the restaurant are amazing! For a good night out in Worthing you cannot beat it. The whole evening was in accordance with the current COVID-19 regulations and totally safe.

We had a 7 course tasting menu here after looking for somewhere nice to eat in Worthing. The Dining room was nicely decorated, and the food with paired wine was fantastic. I did not eat red meat and so the chef even substituted this for vegetarian options with no fuss at all. The owners are delightful, and did all they could to ensure we had a good evening. Would definitely dine here again!

If I could put more stars I would!! What a secret hidden gem. The dining rooms is so special - the food, the atmosphere, but the team are so wonderful - Jon, Ro, Oli, and Joseph were there when we had our wedding breakfast and wow! Our guests loved the sausage rolls (!), but nothing was too much trouble for anyone and there were so many thoughtful touches. Thank you isn’t enough for the lengths that were gone too. We can’t wait to come back for more singing !! Xxxx

The food was sublime - the dishes were well prepared and the produce was carefully picked and local. Decently priced for a tasting menu. No faults and would highly recommend.
