Visited 5th February 2012.
Our next stop of the day was 'The Sir Alec Rose'. which unexpectedly turned out to be in a nice location overlooking a marina. The downstairs area was very quiet but it was a bit busier upstairs. We ordered a hot chocolate each and sat outside drinking them overlooking the boats. Yet another bag of Monster Munch was consumed by Mrs S. I settled for a bag of salt and vinegar, we really needed to get some food. Maybe at the next pub.

What should have been a short drive turned into a bit of a mission. Two wrong turns and some roadworks meant that the trip took a lot longer than it should have. Brighton village marina was not at all what I expected and 'The West Quay' was definitely not what I was expecting. The find of the day! Not an attractive building from the outside but all was forgiven when we got inside. Very much the type of pub I like. A bit of and odd mix in terms of style but although it was a large place it felt cosy (and warm). It would be interesting to visit it again in the summer when I suspect it would feel entirely different. We ended up spending a lot longer in there than we had intended. It's a shame it's not a bit closer to home!
