WHERE TO EAT & DRINK
Go nuts for the environment
With a recent UN report highlighting
that switching to a plant-based diet can
help fight climate change, Here & Now
thought it was time we checked out some
of the incredible vegan restaurants on our
doorsteps in Worthing.
WORTHING’S FIRST VEGAN EATERY Cactus Kitchen Gals sells
breakfast, lunch and dinner options with local produce and an
ever-changing specials board. Kids get in on the act with their own
menu, plus there are workshops, set menu nights and a private
order service for birthday cakes.
NRG Cavern prides itself on a menu focused on balanced
nutrition, and you can take your pick from vegan croissants
for breakfast, rainbow falafel sandwiches, Buddha bowls and
much more. There’s a regular supper club, a kids menu and the
smoothies are irresistible!
Down on Montague Place, Wine & Reason sells vegan food from
Sunny Worthing award-winners Vbab including vegan kebabs,
katsu curry and vegan fish and chips. There’s a takeaway option for
those who fancy nipping down to the beach. Don’t miss the triple
cooked chips!
Nestled opposite the main library, The Happy Teapot has a vegan
menu with versions of meat dishes such as burgers, nachos and
tofu dogs, but it’s the extensive range of mouthwatering vegan
cakes and milkshakes to die for that will keep you coming back
again and again.
Scoot up the alley next to Superdrug and you’ll find The Artisan’s
Pantry on Field Row serving incredible homemade vegan food,
from cottage pie to tasty fry-ups. They also stock a range of hardto-find
vegan products including Vegusto alternative cheese,
Love Seitan, Follow Your Heart, Suma Coop, KamAlive Chocolate,
cupboard items and vegan skincare.
Streets Cafe on Tarring Road has a great array of vegan and
gluten-free options. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for popups
from the likes of Halloumilicious and 2 Blokes and a Kitchen,
plus there’s soft play, a great range of cosmetics, groceries and
cleaning products to buy and even a vegan Mr Whippy!
There are many other great vegan options all over town including
Bungaroosh, Finch, The Egremont, Malt, The Orchard Cafe, Munch
and Pizzaface to name just a few.
If all this talk has left you feeling inspired to try out a plant-based
diet, head over to Teba on South Street where you can pick up an
extensive range of international foods and vegan meat, cheese and
dairy substitutes. n
