At Crabshack, we pride ourselves on offering a unique dining experience that combines the freshest local seafood with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Our family-owned and run restaurant and beach bar is situated in a stunning location overlooking the sea, with a large outdoor terrace perfect for alfresco dining. Our philosophy is simple - we believe in serving only the finest, locally-sourced ingredients, cooked to order and presented with a focus on effortless elegance.

Our Story

We opened our doors on June 1st, 2015, with a passion to bring people together over great food and drink. By Christmas 2016, we had been ranked number one out of over 300 restaurants in Worthing and ninth out of over 1600 in West Sussex on Trip Advisor. This is a testament to our commitment to providing exceptional service and culinary experiences for our customers. We've had the pleasure of being featured in various national publications, including The Spectator Magazine, The Sunday Times, and The Saturday Guardian.
