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 most often single out the views over the marina from both floors of this Wetherspoon, with its dark wood and large wooden staircase, and several praise the fish and chips and pints as good value. One describes ordering through the app and getting drinks and hot food within minutes, while another found the app slower than going to the bar. Service is the recurring complaint. Reviewers describe drinks taking a long time to arrive, a meal delivered with items missing, and staff who seemed unwilling to engage, though one server drew praise for handling a crammed bank holiday perfectly. Several note tables left full of used plates and glasses, and one outdoor diner says pigeons and seagulls were feeding on them. One reviewer reports being told only after buying drinks that dogs were not allowed outside either, and one describes cold food with rubbery chips. Praise for the setting stays steady, with one reviewer calling it a spoons with a view.

    “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 …”

    “AA‑Reviews: 3/5★ Went in for dinner and drinks. The venue was busy, which is standard for a Wetherspoons. Interior is traditional with dark wood. Food quality is acceptable for the price point. Service was the primary failure. Drinks took 45 minutes to arrive despite being part of a meal order. When we asked where our drinks were, we were dismissed without explanation. Only one staff member demonstrated basic competence. Another showed clear unwillingness to engage with customers. Multiple tables remained uncleared with dirty plates left in place. This is unacceptable. Final verdict: Nice in a pinch, good food, perhaps be weary of what waiter serves you. What you expect for a Spoons.”

    “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 …”
