[Brighton] Marwood coffee house closes

Not Andy Naylor · Sep 29, 2020

The latest victim of Covid-19. Sad - it was a great antidote to dull chains like Costa and St*rb*cks.

Well its been blamed on Covid at least.
Interesting comments relating to the article on the Argus site if you take a look.
Whilst I hate nothing more than a chain, I've never been a fan of this place.

Has one of the funniest 'Terrible' reviews on Tripadvisor !!!!!

A great antidote indeed. Always a good port in a storm - especially during The Great Escape weekend.

I always try to support independent coffee places but can't say I warmed to this place - the staff had a real attitude problem and the coffee wasn't all that great.

Mind you, I'm not sure where is good in Brighton. I've been less than impressed with Small Batch, Presuming Ed and that one on Queen's Rd staffed by Aussies. For a hip, trendy sort of place, we're really lacking in decent coffee shops

Several cutting reviews. This one has a memorable finale.

Horrible dump. Filthy, rude staff. 1 star hygiene rating.

The very worst of Brighton with their pretentiousness and delusions of grandeur.

Not sure if I'm being wooshed, but (they don't hand out 5s willy nilly):

Likes others above this post I love an independent coffee shop and never go to chain coffee shops if I can help it but I never warmed to Marwood. Just a bit too poncy and try hard for me plus the staff were always moody when I went there.

You've the first person I've seen/heard say that. Not saying it is the best coffee ever but most people seem to like Small Batch.

I know it has its fans but thought the coffee was awful. I have a voucher for a free coffee but it was so disappointing, I'm in no hurry to use it. Not for me Clive

I really like the coffee from Small Batch.

The Clamp · Sep 30, 2020

The Withnail & I reference in the title was what drew me in at first, the abhorrent staff, stench of patchouli and frankly revolting and unhygienic crockery was what drove me away.
I am an appreciator of the rustic and ramshackle aesthetic if done well. There's that place in South London that is a reclamation yard, old manor house filled with curios and art and a mind-blowing restaurant. Super place, forget the name.
Marwood's? You can shove it up your arse for nothing and **** off while you're doing it. Balls.

The Argus comments section never fails to disappoint

So many to choose from. I like this little snippet for some reason, has a certain visual quality to it: 'Anvil over the door held with rope is a huge health and safety hazard' :lol:

Sad times. I know Harry and Raf well and they put a hell of a lot of work into Marwood.

Totally agree the big American chain coffee shops remind me too much of chavy McDonald’s or Burger King . I normally go to either flour pot cafe in Hove ( think they have a Preston Park cafe as well ) or Small Batch in Wilbury road , both really nice coffee & efficient staff .
