Authentic Spanish Tapas in West Worthing

Our Culinary Journey
About Us
Rincón de Pepe was founded in 2014 by Pepe, inspired by a simple yet heartfelt dream: to create a place that would take him back to his roots and allow him to share what he missed most — long
conversations around the table, the joy of sharing tapas, and meaningful moments with family and
friends.
​
From the beginning, Rincón de Pepe was conceived as more than just a restaurant. It was meant to feel like home — a welcoming space where food brings people together and every visit feels personal.
​
In 2020, the restaurant passed into the hands of his cousin Stella, who, together with Paolo, lovingly
continued this vision. They preserved Rincón de Pepe as a warm meeting place — somewhere to
reconnect with loved ones or strike up new friendships over great food and good company.
​
Throughout 2025, a thoughtful year-long transition honoured Pepe’s legacy, ensuring that the spirit of
Rincón de Pepe was entrusted with care to its new partners, Adrian and Tom.
​
While neither Adrian nor Tom are Spanish, their connection to Spanish cuisine is grounded in deep
respect, professional training, and genuine passion. Adrian trained as a chef in Argentina, while Tom honed his skills in England, bringing together strong culinary foundations and a shared belief in honest, flavour-led cooking.
​
Today, Rincón de Pepe remains true to its origins — a place to share, connect, and create
unforgettable moments around the table.
