Originally the Castle Hotel & Tavern, built around 1873, it later became the O'Conner Bar, 1998 to 2001, and then Tap & Tankard. It has since reverted to The Castle Tavern. (date unknown) Sometime early in 1998 the Castle (then the Tap & Tankard) was closed and boarded up, its future looked bleak. Spring 1998 and the Tap & Tankard has been refitted and the bars opened up in to a single open plan bar. The Castle was at one time the HQ of the of the infamous Worthing Bonfire Boys. The map below of 1896, shows the railway goods yard that was replaced by the Co-Op Superstore and latterly Morrison's Superstore. |

On a recent Saturday evening
visit, we were a little surprised to find a selection of chilli
sauces and samplers on the bar. Any new visitor can't resist the
taste challenge watched by the knowledgeable landlord and knowing
regulars.
Warning, the smaller the bottle the stronger the effect, a great bit
of fun. |
