it’s a rather unfortunate name for an above-average Tex-Mex in New Street, Worthing.
Given the cards advertising The Room for Living, I suspect Liming is some strange attempt at branding a number of restaurants.
Sam’s starter of prawn and avocado salad was presented almost as a piece of nouvelle cuisine in a tower, and my nachos arrived as a natty nest and not your usual gut-busting, artery-clogging extravaganza.
Similarly, our main courses of ribs and chicken burrito were also pleasingly light and well presented – this is a Tex-Mex with pretensions.
So now we have two choices in Worthing. The hearty, authentic food at Montague’s, and the more modern touch of Liming. Thankfully neither push Tequila Slammers on a heaving mass of partying, vomiting bores. And all the better for it!
We’ll definitely be returning.
