Worthing bakery confirms opening date - this is where it will be moving into

Bakery chain Truffles will replace the Monsoon Accessorize store in Montague Street, which closed in July.

A planning application was approved earlier this year to subdivide the property and make alterations to the shop front.

Truffles is a Sussex family bakery, established in 1982.

The independent business confirmed the lease for the building was finalised in September.

Finance manager Daisy Tompsett said: "We are really looking forward to be opening our new shop in Worthing.”

Initially, the plan was to open the shop on Thursday, December 1 – but there has been a slight delay.

The independent business will serve its first customers on Tuesday, December 13.

The bakery already has branches in; Billingshurst; Goring; Hailsham; Henfield; Horsham; Hove; Hurstpierpoint; Lancing; Lindfield; Mayfield; Shoreham; Shoreham Airport (Hummingbird); Steyning; Storrington and Uckfield.

Ms Tompsett added: “Worthing will be number 16.

“The site became available so we went to view it and it looked like a great location.

"It’s very central, reasonably busy and felt like a good fit for our business as the next place to open.”

The bakery will provide fresh products to eat in or takeaway, including cakes, bread, sandwiches as well as hot and cold drinks.

It will also serve mince pies and Christmas puddings when it opens in the festive season.

"We are an independent business that’s been around for 40 years and we are just looking to be part of Worthing,” Ms Tompsett said.

“We are excited for the opportunity that's come about."
