Worthing pub announces it’s closing for day-to-day trade for a while
A Worthing pub that opened in the summer is pausing day-to-day operations.
The Pier View pub and kitchen, in Marine Parade, opened in July in the space previously occupied by Escape Bar and Grill, opposite Worthing Pier.
In September, it launched a café to bolster its daytime operations.
But yesterday, a statement was released on The Pier View Facebook page saying it would be stopping day-to-day operations for now to allow it to improve and refresh. It will still host parties and private functions.
It read: “An Update from The Pier View
“We wanted to share an important update with our community.
“For the time being, The Pier View will be closed for day-to-day general trade. However, we are still very much open for private functions, parties, anniversaries and events.
“You may be wondering why.
“As with all things in hospitality, there’s always plenty happening behind the scenes — especially as we head into the busy Christmas season. But this decision isn’t just about managing the festive period; it’s about planning for the future.
“We want to ensure that when spring arrives, The Pier View is the very best it can be.
“We know where improvements are needed, and we’ve got a brilliant team working hard in the background — refreshing the pub, updating the space, and shaping an even better experience for Worthing. We’re giving the venue the attention it deserves so that when we return to full trade, it truly delivers something special.
“We’d also love to hear from you ❤️
“Very soon, we’ll be posting a short survey on our social media channels so you can tell us what you’d like to see from a venue in Worthing. Your feedback will directly influence what we create.
“In the meantime, if you’re planning a party, celebration or event, we have fantastic spaces available and customisable food and drink packages to help you make it unforgettable.
“You can fill in our event enquiry form here: www.thepierview.co.uk/hire
“Or feel free to pop into The Park View in Durrington to chat with us in person
“You can also message us directly here on Facebook
“Thank you for your continued support — we can’t wait to welcome you back to a refreshed and improved Pier View soon.”
The venue is run by Steve Pease and Charlotte Morley, who are behind the transformation of The Park View pub in Durrington.
