Now a part of the award-winning Craft Union Pub Company, the warm and welcoming Smugglers Return has reopened its doors following a £265,000 investment.

The Smugglers Return, which is located just a short walk from Worthing’s seafront, is ready to showcase its new look to everyone in the area. The investment, in the 1920s era pub, has seen changes made to the interior and exterior, giving it a modern look with a light, airy feel and new fixtures and fittings.

The installation of a number of HD TV screens showing Sky Sports and BT Sports has taken place during the investment, enhancing the Smugglers Return’s offering. Live sports matches will be shown throughout the week, including the Premier League and Six Nations. The sports offering does not stop there as two darts boards and a pool table have been set up too.

Operator of the Smugglers Return is Andy Deeprose, who has lived in Worthing with his family for many years. Andy got into working in pubs after meeting his wife Angie, who has grown up in family run pubs. Andy and Angie both took on the Smugglers Return a decade ago and while Andy will be at the pub every day, Angie will be helping out alongside working at the couple’s other venue. Working alongside Andy is his supportive team, who are returning following the period of investment. They are all excited to welcome new and old faces to the pub.

Andy said: “The Smugglers Return is a huge part of my life, and I am so pleased to see it looking so wonderful with its new look. The investment has really breathed a new lease of life into the pub and I am so excited for its future.”

The Smugglers Return will also be holding a launch party from Friday 24 March to Sunday 26 March. Friday night will be a trip down memory lane, with an Elton John tribute act by Rob Taylor, who will be performing all the hits throughout the decades.

On Saturday, the party continues with tunes by DJ Mike Panteli from Heart Radio where the night will be 80s themed, with the addition of Stilt Walkers, Fire Eaters and a balloon artist for children. Sunday will be a day of fun and prizes as the pub will be holding a raffle and there will also be music from Charrise and Jason Lee.

Andy and the team have some great entertainment offers planned, which everyone is welcome to come along to, including Open Mic Nights, Quiz Nights, and Live Music. During the week, Andy and the team will also be welcoming local darts and pool teams to play their home and away matches at the pub on their new boards.

Andy added: “We want everyone to feel as welcome as possible, and to enjoy what we have going on from our drinks offering and entertainment. We have a great selection of beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks, which we are sure you will enjoy.

“The community of Worthing is great, and we hope the Smugglers Return can be a place for all, no matter the occasion. The team and I are pleased to have the doors open and show everyone our new look!”
