Similar in appearance to Brighton’s Sea Lanes (which also features Bison Beer and Wood X Coal), Level 1 is a suntrap on brighter days, shielded on three sides from the elements with its fourth wall left open so diners can overlook the English Channel. Its decor also takes much of the same style direction as its sister site in the city, where bright, patterned walls meet wooden prefab kiosks and astroturf for a modern take on outdoors dining.

As for the food, Level 1 brings together four of Brighton’s favourite casual drinking and dining places – Bison Beer, FIKA, Pizzaface and Wood X Coal, plus Worthing’s very own Golden Barracuda Kitchen – to appeal to several tastes.

As we’d arrived for brunch, the beer, pizza and fish was out – instead, we recommend these for late afternoon or evening dining. That left FIKA and Wood X Coal, where we ordered a dish from each. Mine, a portion of FIKA’s delicious sweetcorn fritters (£9), arrived first – complete with generous helpings of smashed avocado and salmon, a fried egg on the side and a small pot of some seriously fiery chilli sauce. Delicate and crispy, the fritters were a perfect, light substitute for some sourdough – and dare I say far more flavoursome, too.

Wood X Coal’s beef chilli cheese fries (£7.50) came shortly after – a gigantic portion which my companion failed to devour entirely. Loaded with red onion and mustard, these were decidedly a bit more on the ‘filthy’ side, with each bite proving the dish’s worth.
