\n Twilight star Robert Pattinson and Far from the Madding Crowd actor Tom Sturridge popped into The Moon by Sea in Worthing, where they posed for a photo with owner Sam Lindsey.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThey\u2019re two of my best friends and came to see what I\u2019ve been up to\u201d, said Sam.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe met at school \u2013 I\u2019ve known them for 30 years and used to write with Rob.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Sam opened the bar on Goring Road two weeks ago and describes the bar as a \u201cnew adventure\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI want it to be a neighbourhood bar with a European feel\u201d, he said.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThere is something for everyone \u2013 if you want a coffee, you can have a coffee, if you want a beer, you can have a beer, if you want a cocktail, you can have a cocktail.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n The bar is currently serving \u201clovely pastries\u201d, but Sam says they will be \u201cleaning into food\u201d and \u201csetting up their own kitchen team eventually\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n Sam, who spent the \u201cbest part of 12 years\u201d touring as a musician, moved to Worthing five years ago from London with his wife and daughter.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cAll the businesses are really thriving in this bit of Worthing so it\u2019s nice to be another addition\u201d, the 38-year-old said.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe community are so nice and supportive, and it\u2019s nice to be part of that community.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI really like people, and I wanted a vessel to connect with people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Twilight star Robert Pattinson and Far from the Madding Crowd actor Tom Sturridge popped into The Moon by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20374,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-20373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20373\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
