Simon said: “We got the idea during lockdown, taco and margarita nights on a Friday. We thought we should be doing this on the beach, Worthing needs this.

“Once we had the name we said this was too good not to do. Within about two and a half months from the idea, we were on the seafront trading and have never looked back.

“People says the business name puts a smile on their face, there’s something about a pun. It’s a time honoured tradition.”
