Short lived pub at the south end of Montague Place. Drifted over to wine and food. 1989.

Newspaper article from the same year. A flat owner was complaining that the Cockle & Bacon were allowing customers to sit, eat and drink on the premises roof which was directly below the flat owners window. It has been said that the couple seen in the picture are Ron and Denise Clack, the landlords of the Royal Oak!

We are not aware of the outcome. Thanks to Pat Heffer from Worthing Past and Present Facebook page.
