New Worthing bar launches pizza partnership – with even more food and entertainment to come

Located in New Street, in the heart of the town centre, Babylon has taken on the space previously occupied by the Last Melon.

Monique King, the new owner, took over the space at the beginning of the year and refurbished it, with plans to fully launch the business in the summer.

But soon after opening the the doors to her ‘welcoming, sophisticated space where people could escape the everyday, enjoy great food and drinks, and spend quality time with friends and family’ the family suffered a devastating loss.

It forced them to postpone some of the launch plans, but they are now ready to forge ahead.

Last week, Babylon launched a partnership with Pizza by Antonia, bringing the expertise of a well-known pizza chef and a new food offering to Babylon. Pizza will be served Wednesday to Saturday, from midday to 10pm.

Monique said: “Whether customers are looking for a relaxing coffee, a delicious bite to eat, an evening drink or a lively night to dance the night away, Babylon aims to offer something for everyone.

“Our venue combines the atmosphere of a stylish bar and restaurant with the relaxed charm of a café. Guests can enjoy an extensive selection of drinks, draft beers, freshly brewed coffee and a tempting range of baked goods. With plenty of comfortable seating areas, Babylon is the perfect place to sit back, unwind, catch up with friends or simply relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

“As winter approaches and the hospitality industry continues to face its own challenges, we have decided to embrace a new chapter, bringing fresh energy and exciting additions to our offering.

“We are delighted to announce our partnership with Antonio’s Pizza. We believe the partnership will complement our existing atmosphere perfectly, giving people even more reasons to visit, whether for a casual meal, a catch-up with friends or a full evening out.”

There is even more to come from Babylon, with new brunch menus soon to launch. It already hosts themed evenings, DJ nights and karaoke nights, and towards the end of the year it will introduce live events.

Monique added: “As a family-run business, community support means a great deal to us. We want Babylon to be more than just a place to enjoy a drink or a meal; we want it to be somewhere people feel comfortable, welcome and part of something special, whatever the occasion or time of day.

“Despite the heart-breaking circumstances we have faced as a family, we remain passionate about our business and determined to move forward, building something we can be proud of.

“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us so far and look forward to welcoming more of the Worthing community through our doors as we continue to grow.”
