It was far too loud, too dark and the service was quite slow. They also didn't have any shakes and we ate early evening so that was disappointing.

The food was lovely, and well priced, my wife had the Kermit’s revenge which was very tasty but did leave the bun a little soggy. Only real complaint was the toilets, the floor was soaking wet and the blue light made it feel like I was in a grotty nightclub which was a stark difference from the main restaurant. I noticed the sheet on the back of the door was missing signature checks from 4pm and 7pm. I would definitely go back I hear the chicken burger is definitely worth checking out

The food was absolutely delicious, and came in a very good size. Definately worth the value for money. The Woods isn't that expensive either, I can think of many places within Worthing that offer smaller portions at an extortionate cost. The service was quick, effiecient and very friendly and not overbearing which made me and my partner feel relaxed and unhurried.

Amazing food-we just had a burger,cheeseburger and 2 lots of the skinny fries. Very hot and delicious. However, the restaurant was unbearably warm. Granted,it was a hot day, but the tiny windows seemed to be slightly open,not fully, and no air con or fans. We left as quickly as possible as it was so hot. Also,as I was still chewing my food the waiter came and asked if he could clear the table. I had a mouth full so couldn’t answer. Really awful service. The worrying thing was he seemed to be showing someone new what to do!! I’ve never had my table even attempted to be cleared whilst still eating. The food is first class though. I just would avoid any particularly warm day to dine here. Our table and the table next to us were fanning ourselves with menus!

The whole place looks like it needs a really good clean and a paint refresh. Lots of flies around which wasn’t pleasant. I really enjoyed the food, no complaints there. £38 for two burgers, 1 fries and 2 drinks. My partner had to change his beer as there was something not quite right with it. I hope this place puts these things right as I do like this restaurant.

I can’t rate the food as we walked out after 20mins. The restaurant was about 2/3 full when we arrived (we had booked) but after 20mins no one had even come to offer us a drink or make any attempt to speak to us. There appeared to be a lack of staff, but this was never mentioned when we were told “your table is over there” and pointed in a direction. Staff were too busy clearing empty tables when no one was actually waiting or came in during that 20mins than serving the customers in the restaurant.

Our waitress was lovely and doing her best, but she was the only server which meant our food arrived before our drinks. They were perfectly understanding when I asked for it to be taken back until we'd got our milkshakes but not what should've happened, especially as it was a celebration.

Staff were really friendly, even though I made a mistake with the amount of people in my party, they are really accommodating , when there was a drink that was wrong, again they acted really nicely and sorted it. Tbh great value as well, only criticism I have is it’s a shame there is not more veggie or desert options, other than that, really good, Really would recommend.

Burgers, fried chicken, fries, milkshakes and cocktails were all excellent. Every portion was large but the mozzarella sticks were HUGE, but knickerbocker glory pudding was found rather lacking..more ice cream would have really helped but only one other choice of pudding was surprising too..although due to size of the dinner maybe not! Staff were lovely and very accommodating, highly recommended and we will definitely be back!
