As a small, independent restaurant we must protect ourselves against no-shows and short-notice cancellations. For that reason, we take a deposit of £25 per person for all Lunch reservations and a £55 per person for all Dinner reservations (Thursday – Saturday) which will be deducted from your final bill.

We request at least 48 hours notice for cancellations. The deposit fee for cancellations made over 48 hours before your reservation can be transferred to a new reservation if required, otherwise it will be refunded. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before your reservation will result in us keeping your deposit as a cancellation fee. Thank you for understanding that deposits are needed given the experience we have had to date and the costs incurred to our business.

Tern has moved to 39 Warwick St, Worthing, BN11 3DQ. You’ll find us a short walk from the seafront, in the heart of historical Worthing, surrounded by independent shops, cafés, and a creative community.

Tern is a modern British restaurant rooted in hyper-seasonality. We source all our produce from the British Isles and adhere strictly to a zero-impact philosophy. Expect ingredient-led dishes, thoughtful flavour combinations, and a balance of comfort and creativity.

We hold a small number of tables for walk-ins in our bar area. And will always accommodate last minute diners in our restaurant if space permits. However, booking is recommended for the restaurant, particularly in the evenings and at weekends.

You can book online anytime via the Reservations page at ternrestaurant.co.uk, email hello@ternrestaurant.co.uk or contact us directly during opening hours.
