Within stumbling distance of the Worthing station and a five-minute stroll from town, The Corner House is a proper pub, serving up proper pub food.
Personally, I'm a sucker for their burger. Handmade and served in a seeded bun – none of this brioche nonsense – with fresh salad, pickles, tasty cheese and homemade tomato relish, every bite is moist and full of flavour. The relish has a great sweet and sour kick to it while the burger itself is still nice and pink and well seasoned. The hand cut chunky chips on the side are crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Perfect.
I'd also recommend the steak medallions. They arrived equally well seasoned and cooked medium rare, exactly as requested. The accompaniments were also delicious, which so often isn't the case. The mushrooms were still al dente and the slow-roasted tomatoes were bursting with flavour. The peppercorn sauce was rich and spicy, as it should be.
If you don't want to go the whole hog – or cow – then I'd opt for their sharing platter of cured ham and chorizo. Served with loads of fresh sourdough and proper butter, it's a real treat. The chilli soaked pickled onions were a great touch as well and really added some extra power to the spicy chorizo.
The Corner House is dog friendly too – inside and out. Expect dog biscuits and cuddles galore for small, furry family members. Plus, the garden has some really cosy little booths with outdoor heaters so it's really accessible for most of the year, even if you take into account our unpredictable weather!
Price point: cheap as chips –
still OK – getting pricier – pricey – super fancy, but worth it!
