Bookshop · Plot #19Tilly's BookshopTilly’s Bookshop is an independent, fiction-led shop at 45 Warwick Street in Worthing, created by a prolific reader and former bookseller who wanted to make a welcoming place for everyone. Its story grew from a love of fiction and a wish to give readers room to slow down, browse and talk about books. Tilly has years of experience working in bookshops and sharing reviews online, and enjoys helping people find their next read—and hearing what they thought of a recommendation. The carefully selected shelves range from classics to new voices, with popular titles, children’s books, a small non-fiction selection, gifts and stationery too. The approach is personal and conversational: visitors can browse at their own pace, ask for suggestions or simply chat with the small team of readers. The shop welcomes readers at every stage, including future readers, and dogs are welcome too.View business profile

Bakery · Plot #14The PantryThe Pantry brings an artisan bakery and a chef’s eye for detail to South Farm Road. Its story starts in the kitchen: the founder’s background as a chef shaped an approach to baking where flavour and presentation both matter. Inside, the counter brings together bread, pastries and cakes, with sandwiches and café food giving customers a reason to stay a little longer. The business describes its baking as made with love, and its own photographs put the people behind the counter alongside the food they make. It is a local stop for picking up something fresh, meeting over a coffee or turning an ordinary lunch into a small treat. Find the bakery at 40 South Farm Road in Worthing and check its own website for the latest opening times and contact details.View business profile

Car repair and maintenance service · Plot #22Cedar Garage LtdCedar Garage is an independent business with a straightforward aim: look after the driver as well as the car. Its Worthing workshop on Tarring Road handles everyday motoring needs alongside the faults that need a more careful investigation. The team provides MOTs, servicing, tyres and mechanical repairs, backed by diagnostic equipment and manufacturer-level technology. Its wider services also include electric and hybrid vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems. Clear advice is central to the way the garage works. Customers are told what has been found and what work is proposed, rather than being left to guess what a warning light or unfamiliar noise means. With an established local team and a second site in Sompting, Cedar combines independent service with a broad range of technical capabilities.View business profile

Barber shop · Plot #31Blitzkrieg ChopBlitzkrieg Chop brings hairdressing and barbering together on Tarring Road, close to West Worthing station. The idea is simple: the service should fit the person in the chair, rather than a traditional label on the door. Its own welcome is gender-neutral and open to everyone. The studio’s work ranges from closely shaped cuts and beard styling to longer styles and expressive colour, reflecting that mix of barbering and salon techniques. The atmosphere and visual identity have a character of their own, but the focus remains on individual hair. Whether you know exactly what you want or need to talk through a change, the team offers a place to discuss your style and book the service that suits it. Visit the business website for appointments and examples of its work.View business profile

Florist · Plot #8GreenfingersSince 1987, Greenfingers has helped Worthing mark the moments that matter, from a simple thank-you to a wedding day. This family-run florist is based on Montague Street, where head floral designer Rachel Matthews and the team work with fresh, seasonal flowers. Their approach is personal. Wedding bouquets, table arrangements and venue flowers are designed around the occasion, while funeral and sympathy flowers are handled with care and sensitivity. There are hand-tied bouquets and gifts for everyday surprises too. Customers can visit the shop, order online or speak to the team about something bespoke. Local delivery covers Worthing and neighbouring West Sussex communities, making it easier to send something thoughtful even when you cannot deliver it yourself.View business profile

Munch Coffee, Bar and Kitchen in Worthing

Cafe · Plot #27Munch Coffee, Bar and KitchenSamantha and Teresa moved from West London to Worthing in 2012 and opened Munch as a family-run independent coffee house. Their Royal Arcade café grew around a warm welcome, food made to order and a genuine interest in the town around it. Local produce and locally supplied coffee sit alongside home-baked cakes and a menu with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices. Table service lets customers settle in, while the team is happy to discuss requests and dietary requirements. Community matters here too. The owners describe supporting charities, offering work experience and thinking about their environmental footprint. Families and well-behaved dogs are welcome, and the bicycles outside are part of the story: they belong to the owners, who ride to work.View business profile
