    Nice place to sit for a drink. It's the heart of Westbourne and full of locals and you always end up chatting with someone. Never tried the food though but it seems like just regular Greene King pub food. There is a sign for best fish&chips since 1860... but there is Chez&Fred just next door which is rated the best fish&chips in westbourne soooo yeah. Anyway, loved the experience.

    The best Sunday roast I have had in a long while. This is genuinely a home made plate with a slab of beef and huge Yorkshire pud. Can’t wait to come again.
