Harden's survey result
Summary
A “brilliant, family-run, beachside fish restaurant” (“crowded” and a bit rustic) that was launched in 2015, and whose tented terrace spills onto the seafront promenade. There’s a “short menu, but with sufficient variety and choice” and “good simple seafood” (that’s “always good value”) is the order of the day, with the headline crustacean making several cameos.
Summary
“If you love fish you’ll love CrabShack”, say fans of this “rustic” family-owned spot “right on the seafront”, with a “short and consistent menu”. It’s “a bit crowded, a bit noisy, but if you don’t mind that, just relax and enjoy fish tacos, crab cakes, crispy squid and more – it’s all gorgeous”.
Summary
“Worthing’s finest!” – this “funky, classy”, family-run spot on the seafront excels for its “fresh seafood treated with care”; there’s a “short menu that delivers on all fronts”, “friendly service” and an “exceptional evening ambience”. Top Tip – “best crab sandwiches around”.
Summary
“Super-fresh seafood by the sea” is the deal at this family-run shack in “a great location on Worthing prom”. It makes for “delicious food in a very cool setting” – at its best when the kitchen keeps things simple. Top Tip: “try the crab sandwich and chips”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
