Rincon de Pepe

Rincon de Pepe is a Spanish tapas restaurant on South Street in Tarring West, Worthing. The restaurant focuses on food designed for sharing, with wine and relaxed conversation forming part of the experience. Its cosy, local character suits meals that are taken at an easy pace, whether the occasion is a catch-up with friends, a family gathering or a casual dinner for two.

Tapas gives the menu a social format, allowing diners to order several plates for the table rather than choosing a single course each. That style works well for groups who enjoy sharing food and comparing flavours, while also offering a flexible setting for smaller gatherings. The restaurant presents Spanish cuisine in a welcoming, informal way, with an emphasis on bringing people together around the table.

Rincon de Pepe has a personal connection to the traditions behind its food, while its current culinary direction is shaped by professional training and a respect for Spanish cooking. The approach is centred on straightforward, flavour-led food rather than formal dining. Wine accompanies the tapas, adding to the restaurant’s relaxed Spanish feel without making the setting overly formal.

The atmosphere is intended to feel warm and familiar, with the restaurant positioned as a place for conversation as much as for eating. That makes it a natural choice for shared meals, relaxed evenings and occasions where company is central. Visitors travelling from Brighton can find a Spanish dining option in Worthing, away from the busier restaurant setting of the city.

Located at 52 South St, West Worthing, Worthing BN14 7LS, Rincon de Pepe is part of the Tarring West area. Reservations and online ordering are available through the restaurant, while an allergens guide provides useful information for planning a meal around dietary requirements. The venue’s focus on shared tapas, wine and friendly company gives it a clear identity within Worthing’s local dining scene.
