| Nice airy pub, fairly decent beer, but...the barman was a moron...apart from miserable service, i went up to get two halves at 11:10 to be told he'd finished serving...when asked about ringing last orders he said he didnt have to anymore, no legal requirement (whether true or not, it still helps to point out to your handful of monday night patrons when the bar is closing)...then we saw a couple of locals waiting to be served at the bar! The barman was waiting for my party to leave before serving them, so we left telling him excactly what we thought of his service and the fact it was one rule for regulars and one for everyone else... great way to run a pub, especially after we'd just spend upwards of thirty pounds in there. Won't be going back. Sad, cos the pub itself is quite nice :-( jimmyblues - 9 Sep 2008 09:33 |
| The problem with the Westow House is its size. Spacious pubs are usually welcomed by prematurely older drinkers like myself: everyone gets a seat, hurrah! But here it's too much. On a Saturday night the place felt half empty and lacking in atmosphere, not helped by most people choosing to sit outside and breathe traffic fumes. Nothing else against the pub. The beer is fine - although there's not much choice if you're into real ale - and the service brisk. Plenty of books to read too. DholeMoney - 29 Jun 2008 12:59 |
| I had a problem with badly kept ales a couple of times. That puts me off. If they sorted that out I'd be more inclined to go back. Food was nothing to write home about the last time I tried it, but to be fair they've changed over to selling pies now which aren't made on the premises, and that may be more foolproof. elleme - 23 Feb 2008 21:47 |
| This is a nicely done gastropub and the food looked appetising BUT the pint of Bombardier was one of the most badly kept ales I've ever had. Might go back for the food but not for a proper beer. JonW999 - 26 Jan 2008 17:50 |
