About The Thomas A Becket, Worthing
The Thomas A Becket is a pub on Rectory Rd in Worthing, with leather armchairs across a spacious room and a menu that runs to 102 dishes. Triple-cooked chips, chicken wings and crispy cauliflower bites sit alongside pizzas, nachos and burgers, while the Cornish Orchards braised pork belly and sticky toffee pudding round out the heavier plates. A Sunday roast is offered, with roast potatoes and sides such as honey roast carrots, and extra vegetables can be added for a separate charge. The beer selection includes Neck Oil. Service runs to the table rather than at a bar counter, and it operates on a walk-in basis. Large groups can be seated together, with specific tables and menu adjustments arranged for bigger parties. The beer garden holds a children's play area.

Customer Review Summary
Roast dinners draw the most praise, with one reviewer calling theirs the best eaten out and another highlighting friendly staff who managed a large group well. Nachos disappointed one diner, described as packaged tortillas with cheese sauce rather than fresh toppings. Others note hard brussels sprouts and being charged extra for missing vegetables, though group booking changes were handled smoothly.

“Wonderful pub, great food and the staff are asincredible. Hug shout out to Stacey who looked after a huge table so well! Fantastic place for kids will be back regularly!”

“We had two pizzas for 22 which were actually very nice, however the nachos for 18 were an absolute rip off. Tortillas from a packet with cheese sauce and the usual bits however it said melted cheese on the menu, just felt like a total rip off nowhere near enough toppings and what was there didn't taste good. I'm happy to pay nearly 20 for nachos but I would expect the nachos to be made fresh and the toppings should reflect what's on the menu. Much closer to what you would get at the cinema than a nice pub, as a result I wouldny order any of the pricier items on the menu and would only look at discounted items like burgers and pizzas. Not a single staff member asked how to the food was, as you can tell I was keen to give some feedback. Lacking good beer choices, if you like crafties the best option they have is neck oil.”

“We booked for a large group, had to change the date and the food options as we were having food from the Sunday menu but changed to a Saturday. Without any issue the change was done, we wanted a specific table which was arranged. It seemed …”

“Stacey our waitress had great customer service all staff were friendly. Food was outstanding best roast dinner we have had when eating out. Not overpriced well worth it would recommend and will return.”
- Nicky Silverson
“I had a Christmas dinner here with friends. Service was good and the atmosphere was great but was incredibly loud so you couldn’t hear others in your party talking 🤣 The food was ok. Good roast potatoes but the brussels were hard and rather stingy in the vegetables too. My friend’s dinner didn’t come with any vegetables and when she asked for some they gave her some honey roast carrots and charged her £5 for a small portion. Desert was lovely but no extra points for presentation. Overall it was nice”
