Named after the increasingly popular South East pub game, The Toad in the Hole is a short walk from Worthing train station. The team behind the Hand in Hand Brewpub (Brighton) and Hand Brew Co Brewery and Tap Room (Brighton and Worthing) have taken over the ground floor pub of this magnificent building. The large bar sits in the centre - there are seats at the bar and in the bay windows, and a large room and garden at the rear. Hand Brew Co beers are on tap with a range of guest ales and ciders. Local piemaker, Al the Pie Man’s selection of pies are always stocked, and local pizza delivery is also available.
