Worthing Pier’s Art Deco Delight

Worthing Pier in West Sussex boasts a revitalized treasure. The southern pavilion, once home to a nightclub, has been restored to its 1930s art deco splendor. Now owned by Perch, a south coast restaurant business, it offers a unique dining experience.

It’s like having lunch on an ocean liner. There’s a grate menu, with plenty of the things you’d expect at a seaside cafe, and good service.

thompson, who spent years working on Worthing’s arts, culture, and regeneration projects, notes the pier’s revival embodies the town’s aspirations:

I spent years working on arts, culture and regeneration projects to bring Worthing into the 21st century while respecting what makes the town special – it feels like this is everything we aimed for.

Anglesey’s Irish Sea Vista

The Church Bay inn, located in Porth Swtan on anglesey (Ynys Môn), offers breathtaking views of the Irish Sea. Its large windows provide an atmospheric setting regardless of the weather.

When the sun is shining, patrons can enjoy the scene from various nooks, terraces, and a small garden featuring a hobbit hole and a boat for children to play in.

The inn is well worth a walk along the coast path, or a stay in the tiny village to enjoy the stunning unspoilt beach and gorgeous walks nearby.

Northumberland’s Fish Shack Find

In Amble, Northumberland, The Fish Shack offers a delightful culinary experience after braving the North Sea winds. Located on the harbor front, it’s a perfect spot to warm up and indulge in seafood.

The whole bream, drenched in capers with the most beautiful lemon potatoes, was marvelous. And the mussels served in a spicy broth warmed us up perfectly. One of my favourite seaside discoveries ever.

Roedd pawb yn siarad Cymraeg – everyone spoke Welsh.

North Tyneside’s Panoramic “The View”

Overlooking Tynemouth’s Longsands beach, The View cafe cum restaurant lives up to its name. The panoramic sea vistas are a major draw, complemented by a beach-hut-resembling dining booth and a sea-view terrace.

I won’t lie, I’m mainly drawn to this cafe cum restaurant overlooking Tynemouth’s Longsands beach for those panoramic sea vistas. But if I’m not lucky enough to get a window table I take solace in a jaunty dining booth resembling a beach hut, or I venture on to its stunning sea-view terrace. It does decent coffees, proper cakes, tasty brunch offerings and heartier meals including humungous servings of fish and chips. Thay’re licensed too, just in case some vino with a view floats your boat …
