Opening a high end restaurant, tasting menu only, lack of staff across the sector, just before the new year when restaurants are historically quieter for the next couple of months and during a time when almost everyone has their budget being squeezed. I wish the guy all the best but sounds like...

That’s encouraging. MacMillans used to be good but when the kids took over they seemed focused on the drinkers rather than the food. They then stopped food and tried the dive bar before it shut. Looks like they may have learned their lesson but I know a lot of people who stopped going there so...

My recent experience of Coal Shed was poor and other colleagues who visited recently have also found that it is nowhere near as good as it used to be. Looking at the comments about Tutto, maybe the expansion of the group has impacted quality control (I see there is a Coal Shed London now as well).

You do know her role is restaurant critic? There are have been many reviews over the years of the NSC Restaurant threads which have been more scathing than this. Ultimately, any restaurant team should recognise the big name reviewers when they come through the door and be able to make sure...

Pera , Turkish restaurant, Burgess Hill. Lunch with a colleague, I had the lamb Beyti which was very nice, well presented. Colleague had the Lamb Yoghurt dish which he enjoyed. Both came with a side of rice and a light, fresh side salad. With a couple of soft drinks the bill was a...

Bringing things back to more budget fare, had lunch at Fig Cafe in Rustington today. Very nice food, great service, good value. Seems very popular with the locals as every table inside and out was full by 12:30 on a Tuesday lunchtime. It changes from cafe to tapas restaurant in the evenings...

Meze Meze, Lancing - been meaning to try this place for a while. Mrs DCH and I went for an early evening visit to this Greek restaurant. Nice setting and friendly staff. Mrs DCH had the Koubes - bulgar wheat parcels stuffed with mince and herbs to start followed by Stifado - a rich red wine...

Little sprogal on the way?

Zorba - Lewes. Impromptu visit with friends early on a Tuesday evening. Despite the name, it is a Turkish restaurant (family owned) with Lewes their second restaurant after Tunbridge Wells Place was surprisingly busy for Tuesday evening but the service was friendly and efficient. We had...

Salsa Viva Cantina - Worthing. Been meaning to go here for a while but not easy to get a table as it is fairly small. We were first to arrive and the very nice lady who covers the front of house explained that the boss likes to book tables at 15 minute intervals to make sure the kitchen...

Went to The Coal Shed a couple of weeks ago with some work colleagues - first visit for a while. Not particularly impressed to be honest. First of all our waitress got a bit stroppy when the pescatarian in our group asked about certain sides - there was no indication whether these were veggy...

Anyone been to Meze Meze in Lancing? Seems to get very good review on TA.

On a very different level to many of the recent reviews, Mrs DCH and I thought we we would pop into the new German Doner Kebab place on North Street for a quick bite before going to the Komedia as we didn’t have much time. The ordering setup is strange as you have to choose a table number but...

I guess you mean The Old Tollgate. Used to be a decent carvery back in the day. Haven’t been for a few years but last time you were limited to the amount of meat you could have.

Starting with two more Worthing reviews: Bayside Social - The newest in Kenny Tutt's Jay Rayner approved food places on Worthing seafront. We went for brunch for my daughters' birthday. Full English was very good quality according to those who had it. I had the benedict and added black...

Good to see a review of this place. I looked on TA and there were a large number of single reviews on there which always makes me suspicious about a new place bigging itself up/

Lowering the bar somewhat here: Yeoman Worthing - A Hungry Horse restaurant. So, to add some context, it was a family birthday and they had a load of Tesco vouchers to use so it was a cheap night out. Food here is cheap and mainly cheerful with a keen sense of deep frying. Very few people...
