Local record

History of this pub

Medina Quay sat on Fairlee Road on the edge of Newport, beside the River Medina and next to Seaclose Park, home of the Isle of Wight Festival, which made it a popular stop for locals and festival-goers alike. The site first traded as a Table Table restaurant before becoming a Beefeater in late 2017. CAMRA describes a tasteful modern place with separate areas and a patio overlooking the river, about ten minutes' walk from the town centre along the water. After the Beefeater closed on 10 September 2026, the restaurant was set to serve only guests of the Premier Inn next door.

The IW Observer reported that breakfast, evening meals and drinks would continue for Premier Inn guests until Whitbread settled the long-term plans. Its article was published before closure and gives no dated permanent successor opening.
