"After waiting for 12 months, we were extremely impressed with the excellent service and delectable Sunday roasts at this restaurant. It was the perfect way to kick off our holiday, and we will definitely be booking a table again next time we visit Worthing. This place is a real hidden gem."

"Stopped coming here a year ago because of many issues, but reluctantly retuned early June to find the place had transformed back to what i remembered from years gone. Warm and welcoming with a lovely atmosphere. Everything was a plus the staff were so friendly one Emily in particular. We as a family thought new owners had taken over. As the management seemed different and to be fair the food was amazing. and despite the cost this was a treat that was truly worth it. We all couldn't wait to return. However fast forward a few months we all returned as a group to be so disappointed in the whole experience. The atmosphere we loved seemed to have disappeared and the feeling of warmth had gone. service was average but the food was so below par. we decided to ask why this had happened but was met by rudeness on a great scale by a young man claiming to be the assistant. Who claimed no one else had complained so what was the problem. No apology at all. We were goin to ask for a full refund but my wife decided to leave as she was too upset. The Manager came out as we left. too late if me and my whole party were concerned. I'm sure he was the Chef before, Perhaps he should return to the kitchen. This has always been considered a treat at the bunk what with the cost of living crisis. But myself and my friends will now spend our money somewhere else where you can get real value for money where people know what customer service and standards really are and your given that feeling that you would love to return. Here none of us will return and hope this review and experience may help others when thinking of treating themselves or using those extra pennies that are precious. Have no idea what is goin on here what a disaster. We all felt Cheated."

"My wife and I had dinner here using a Groupon voucher £49 for three courses each and a glass of either Prosecco or Aperol Spritz). It was a set menu but still plenty to choose from. Some higher-end dishes attracted a surcharge but this wasn’t excessive. The restaurant itself is pleasant enough. Standard hotel restaurant decor. The staff were extremely welcoming and provided excellent service. The food wasn’t much to write home about though sadly. Lovely hot bread was served with our Prosecco which was in a beautiful glass it must be said). Starters were the best course. I had salt and pepper squid with a chilli jam which was very good and my wife had cauliflower and keens cheddar soup which was served with a big cheesy croutons which she loved. I opted to pay a surcharge for the rib eye steak for main course which I asked for rare. Now I expect rare to be hot and seared on the outside whilst still **** in the middle. What I got was a just about lukewarm grey piece of meat which, the fat of which had not been rendered so was still like jelly. Inside the meat was dry and on the blue side of rare. It wasn’t particularly tasty I don’t think it has been seasoned before cooking) and certainly wasn’t ****. I regularly cook steak at home and sear and seal it on a hot griddle pan so that it has a nice char but it is still juicy inside. It’s easily done. For pudding I had the lemon tart with clotted cream which was average. My wife had date pudding essentially sticky toffee pudding) which was dry but sitting on a pool of sickeningly sweet sauce. Again, average. It was an enjoyable experience in general for the money paid but not somewhere I’d return to in a hurry or pay full price for."

"So so disappointed with dinner here last night. Dined here 13th July and a few months before that. Food was exceptional. Dined yesterday with my 3 sisters for a birthday celebration. I had my usual chicken goujons and they were only small crispy ends with almost no chicken. One sister had the roast Turkey and ham mostly stuffing with some vegetables which were practically unrecognisable. Another sister had haddock which was overcooked. The waiter mistakenly took the wrong order for the 4th sister and she was served salmon with roast potatoes which were obviously reheated she had asked for chips. Again, it was hard to decipher what the veg was. We were very very disappointed. Desserts were lovely. Service was good waiter kept telling us that he’d report all back to the chef. It was so bad, the waiter removed the price of our teas. So so disappointed."

"my daughter was married here at the weekend and nr. 4 the village was an absolutely wonderful environment. the staff (very much to be friends, very fast) was amazingly welcoming and nothing was too much annoyed for them. they were incredibly courteous, extremely professional and quietly efficient, without ever appearing to be quite a **** to lift off. eating was excellent, with all the time for perfection of the device for the ceremony itself, changing everything quickly for the recipe meal, while the high-time photos made out. only a phenomenal day with beautiful love to detail. I couldn't talk about all the involved anymore and thanks go to everyone."

"We arranged to have lunch with friends. We had booked a table and when we arrived were shown to a table with views of the marina. Food was ordered and didn't take long to come out. I had some questions about gluten and dairy free options, which were answered. The steak I had in a ciabatta was fatty, which was a bit disappointing and was missing vegan cheese that was requested. But the meal itself was hot. The setting is lovely overlooking the canal. There is a children's play area and plenty of parking."

It's a fantastic spot for lunch or dinner, with plenty of free parking available. I highly recommend it. Parking: Available. Service: Sit-down. Meal type: Lunch."

"I booked the festive menu for three and said I would have something off the menu all four of us had purchased a voucher for £15 which enabled us to have £25 towards meal and drinks. The three friends each paid a deposit of £5. The meal was dreadful!!! The service was slow and we were the only ones in there! The beef had no Yorkshire pudding, the Turkey ROLL was like Bernard matthew’s, my chicken was over cooked and dry it was supposed to have a sauce but I had to ask for gravy it was so dry! And the dessert (treacle tart) was not only cold but rock hard!!! We asked to speak to someone to say how disappointed we were and basically were brushed off then she told us one voucher per bill but we were told per person! So she then had to split the bill we all ended up giving her our vouchers because we wouldn’t go again. Appalling! The two stars were for the decorations!"

"My first visit to LayaLina was on Valentine's Day and it was surprisingly quiet with only two other couples present during the two hours we were there. The food was excellent, although we were limited to the Valentine's set menu. The waitress did allow me to order one item from the a la carte menu, but unfortunately one of the dessert options was not available. This was disappointing considering the restaurant's quiet atmosphere and the fact that it was a set menu. The Valentine's set menu was priced at £85 per person, whereas on any other day the same choices would have cost £60 per person. I found the markup to be excessive and unnecessary."

"I was booked in by hotel reception (hotel reviewed separately). I arrived for my table in the restaurant at and surprised it wasn't busier on a Friday evening. I was seated by a new lad in training he was very young. Smiling and very...pleasant. I started with a mini bottle of prosecco. I had the squid and prawn starter, there was another fish, can't remember what it's called but you can see it in the picture, I'd never tried it before but it was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Mains was lamb cutlets with mustard mash and kale. Again delicious. Dessert black forest slice. Mmm. I wish I had taken a picture of it all. It was thoroughly enjoyed. The service was attentive and fast by all the staff. A great restaurant if you're in the area."

"Just got home from having Sunday lunch here. Three out of the four of us had traditional roasts served with side vegetables and extra gravy and the other the pork escalope. For dessert a sorbet, a crème brulee and a chocolate marble moose cake. The food was all absolutely excellent although I should say the moose cake is only for those with a very sweet tooth. The venue is a lovely old timbered building with good décor and is just a nice place to be. And to complete the pleasure of the whole experience our server, Caitlin, was helpful and patient (we had a very elderly friend in our group) and very kindly sorted something out so that although we seriously overran our agreed time slot we didn't have to move. Definitely will go again on our next visit to Stratford"

"I was staying in nearby Stockton-on-Tees overnight and was a little worried that I'd struggle for a vegan evening meal. Was really pleasantly surprised to find that Cena has a vegan menu (3 starter options, 3 options for mains, 2 dessert options . I had the Vegetable Antipasto (delicious tapenade! , Sundried Tomato Risotto (very hearty and the Chocolate Sponge (with mandarin sorbet . The great food was complemented by excellent service, and I would happily recommend Cena to any fellow vegans looking for good quality Italian food. Would be 5 stars if it was possible to give 5 stars for a non-vegan/vegetarian restaurant. :"

"Sweet staff. Very clean and well laid out space. Food is made with fresh ingredients and to order. Had the vegan breakfast, a GF cross bun, and cappuccino. Breakfast was quite satisfying: beans well cooked- creamy, not too sweet, nice portion; wilted spinach and grilled tomato was fresh and flavorful; hash browns were the best- thick, fried hard but not burnt, and fully cooked; mushrooms very flavorful but a little undercooked for my personal taste. Cappuccino was strong in coffee. Foam wasn't as smooth as I've had it elsewhere, but good strong coffee nonetheless. I'll come again during my next stay in Cov."

"Awful experience. Poor quality food, definitely recommend avoiding this restaurant. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and although the starters and specials seemed appealing, the reality was disappointing. We tried the deep-fried Risotto balls as a starter, which were bland and unappetizing. The mushroom and gorgonzola risotto I ordered for my main course lacked flavor and was more like warm, creamy rice. My partner's Italian burger was a complete letdown - it seemed more like a cheap, frozen burger from a discount store rather than a gourmet dish. Overall, the food was subpar and we left highly unsatisfied."

"Excellent service and food! Very generous portions, especially in the dessert! We had a couple of warm starters that were really lovely. The octopus with the broad beans was also very good. Would definitely come back! Thank you for everything"

"we arrived a bit earlier than our booked time, but we are the only customers. we sat and served immediately. because we had lunch with friends, we were not in a certain hurry, so we didn't make it up, but our food took an hour to come, other guests seemed to order and leave after us before we got our food. I don't think we have ordered everything especially drunk some cakes and a fish chips. the food itself was beautiful, and the price seemed reasonable."

"The restaurant was decent, featuring a nice selection of food, although the choices weren't extensive. We were surprised to find that we were the only guests on a Friday evening at 7:00 PM, with only two other people arriving during our visit. We opted for the set menus, which, surprisingly, were available despite not being advertised for Fridays. We started with prawns, followed by fishcakes (which were somewhat small), and concluded with a delightful vanilla ice cream. Everything was quite tasty, and our total bill was around £40 for two adults, which included a half carafe of house red wine and a bottle of water."

"I was bought an Activity Superstore voucher for my birthday which gave me an Afternoon tea for two people. We spent the day in Chester prior to going to the hotel and wished we hadn 't bothered. Upon arrival the hotel didn 't look appealing and when we were greeted at reception we were made to feel that the booking had been forgotten about. We were asked to take a seat whilst the reception team member found someone to seat us. We were seated in what can only be called a green house with no ventilation air. We were offered tea or coffee and were told to take a seat. The curtains and table clothes were dirty, the furniture tatty and we felt like we needed a shower when we left. After around 10 minutes, the drinks arrived and we took it upon ourselves to move to a table in the shade. The air conditioning wasn 't working and it was 30 degrees outside. To be fair, the air conditioning looked like it hadn 't been serviced or used in quite some time (my husband works in the HVAC industry) Our food arrived and my heart sank. We weren 't asked or told what the sandwiches included or what the cakes were. The sandwiches were dry, tasteless and half of the crusts remained. We only ate a couple and left the rest. The cakes were okay although what we think might have been a profiterole looking more like a sausage!! The scones were crunchy and we were offered no butter as an option. At no point did anyone ask if we would like another drink (hot or cold) or whether the food was okay. We were in the hotel around 30 minutes before we left very disappointed. Certainly not a place I would recommend or return to."
