By far the best dining experience I've had in a long while, up there with the best ever.
Arriving into the foyer of the restaurant, which is light and airy and looks fresh and inviting, to being shown to a comfortable table placed just far enough from other tables so conversations aren't overheard. Emily, our waitress, greeted us and asked about allergies ( none) and then brought over a drinks menu and food menu. We wanted a Sherry aperitif to start, we couldn't find it on the menu but Emily recommended one for us, it was delicious.
When it came to ordering food, we wanted a couple of light bits to share as starters, we went for the padron peppers, which come with a unique white bean hummus, that pairs perfectly, we also had the goats cheese donuts and they even gave us an extra one as there were four of us eating. These are a must, in my opinion, well balanced flavour and one of the best starts to a meal I've had. Although as they are rich, I'd recommend sharing.
On to mains, I went with three small plates, one each from land, sea and earth. Lamb, crab, and vegetable arancini, this was perfect for me as I love having a selection of foods to try. They were all so delicious, but the arancini is hands down one of the best things I've ever eaten in a restaurant, I'd come back just for these.
Others in our party had large plates, steak, and pork chop, all outstanding, and there wasn't a single thing left on any plate by the time we'd finished. This was all washed down with a delicious red wine.
We were all too full for dessert, however the chef did send down a Barrata with peach compote that we all tasted, this is a potential new starter for the restaurant and like everything else we ate, it's delicious!
The whole experience, from entering, to the tasteful, relaxed decor, to the outstanding food and fantastic service from Emily it puts Pitch at the top of the restaurant list for me. It's very difficult to get everything just right, and I'd say Pitch has done just that.
It was just the perfect way to celebrate my Dad's birthday, and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Worthing.
