About The West Quay

At Brighton Marina, The West Quay is a pub with a tiled floor and beams, drawing on a menu of 101 dishes. Options include a Traditional Breakfast and a Southern-Fried Chicken Wrap, available with a soft drink or an alcoholic drink added. Real ales are served alongside the food, and drinks can be ordered from the table through an app or at the bar. The pub opens daily and takes walk-ins rather than reservations. Seating extends outside near the marina, giving a spot to sit by the water, though tables out there are not always cleared between customers. The setting pairs a fitted interior with the outdoor marina-side space.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers value the marina setting and call the food and drink good value, but repeatedly describe uncleared tables, with plates and glasses left sitting so long that one diner reports birds swarming the debris outside. Several note slow, surly bar staff and food arriving with items missing. One reviewer also reports being turned away with a dog despite outdoor seating, and another describes a cold, freezing meal.

    “I mean, it’s a Spoons and so you know what to expect, right?! It would be nice to be able to distinguish who the staff are v’s the customers. Appreciate casual dress is the norm but clean casual might be better?! And what is it with staff dropping off drinks at tables and then walking past numerous tables full of plates and glasses numerous times. Surely it would make sense to collect some on your way back to the bar? 🤷‍♀️ So many tables just left full of plates and glasses and tables dirty and wet. Ordering drinks via the app seemed to be way slower than going to the bar. So not the best Spoons experience and possibly not the worst either. Nice setting next to the marina though! 👍🏼”

    “Most disgraceful food of my entire living experience Food Came all freezing and rubbery chips moulded into the cheese And stopped a disabled individual by getting his lasagne and didn’t give it to him put too much ice in the drink so it …”

    “They told us that no dogs were allowed inside. We sat outside with our little dog. No one came to let us know that they also don’t accept dogs outside until my husband and my son have bought them drinks. Funny enough they don’t have any …”

    “Good location, food and drink good value, however staff attitude was appalling, slow and surly at the bar. We sat outside. Had to clear a table, no one cleared the used plates and glasses, the food arrived missing some items, the waiter sighed and returned some time later with the missing food. The used plates and glasses another tables were attracting pigeons and seagulls. Other customers were complaining, one lady went to the bar and mentioned the bird infestation to staff, meanwhile we were finishing our meal , shooing away the wildlife, a waitress delivering food to another table was "persuaded " the remove and clean the now heavily loaded tables of detritus, the tables were never sprayed or cleaned down, the only satisfied customers were the local wildlife!”

    “Loved it 2nd time on it . An absolute must do when visiting Brighton. Why 3 star when it should be five . The price loses it a star . £40 is excessive for 2 adults. ,Second star lost duration. All over too quickly. Drinks as they are everywhere are expensive. The views, ascent and voice over all beyond reproach which for me gives it the 3 star rating . Thanks for keeping us in the top ten percent of the reviewers more to follow. This is a review for the Brighton i360 not wetherspoons which i have to say I found a very pleasant place . But for some reason TA has made a mistake”
