The West Bay, Bridport

Our first stop in West Bay. This pub/restaurant felt quite modern inside. There is a pub car park opposite, adjacent to the pay and display public car park. Palmer's 200 & IPA were the 2 real ales. Customers were pretty much all locals, apart from ourselves. Although I'd imagine there's quite a few tourists who visit during the holiday season. Bar staff were friendly, but I felt the pub was fairly unremarkable and lacked the atmosphere of some of the other hostelries in this seaside town.

The West Bay is up a narrow street and very close to the beach. This pub offers accomodation,the room i went in was fairly small and had a nautical decor,this is a Palmers tied house and i had a drink of Palmers best bitter which was a decent drink there was also Palmers 200 and Dorset Gold. This pub was fairly quiet when i was in here but it would get busier later with people dining. Photo taken 24 August 1999.
