Founded and created by Andy Price, WestBeach began back in 2000. An old council run building with no windows used for takeaway burgers and hotdogs. As a child, Andy and his brother used to sell melons to tourists along the promenade, so when he saw the building was up for tender, he had to go for it.

The original concept for WestBeach was a Mediterranean tapas style restaurant. The entire building was refitted with bifold doors, and Boston New England shabby chic decor.
