Staff super friendly and helpful. Wasn’t sure which white wine to get, bar stuff knew by my description what flavours I liked and recommended one. Great atmosphere, definitely go back.

I really love this pub… it’s in an excellent location with great transport links - Crystal Palace station 5 minutes walk, Gypsy Hill station 10-15 minutes walk and a good choice of buses. The food is a little pricey but well worth it! Excellent choice of spirits, beers/ales, cocktails and soft drinks. They have private function rooms for hire and you can bring a wireless speaker for music if you desire. As it is a public house children have to be off the premises at 9pm due to licensing.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this venue.

Nice pub. Everything well presented. Nothing not to like really. Beers good, staff nice. Have only had the sandwiches but they were great.
Refreshingly inexpensive. 😊
Great place to meet someone. 👍

Good quizzes and friendly staff. Lots of space, good beers on tap and always get a table. That said, >£15 for a very small vegan burger and fries and not much else feels like robbery and is probably 80%+ margin for them. Could throw some onion rings, double up the small burger patty or add more vegan cheese to beef it up to a regular burger size/fillingness. I shouldn't be hungry again an hour or two later for a pub burger 😄🍔

Good for a Saturday lunch with a healthy selection of meals. Had the burger with chips and extra bacon, definitely a safe pick and tasted great. Pub looks good with a nice feel to it, Seating is good inside and out.
Only thing I would say was annoying was you could only order drinks using the qr code, you had to go to the bar to order food.

Ambience is great as ever.
I tried the "pubdesking", which was quite nice. It was just a pity that both the website and confirmation email state that an after-work pint is included in the £15 fee.
However, when asking about this at the pub, it was mentioned that this was not the case and that I would need to pay £4 extra. When I mentioned that this was not completely fair compared to what is offered online, the staff member got offended and seemed to be very uninterested in communicating this to his manager.
This was a real unfortunate ending of quite a nice day. I feel that this does make the pubdesking offer less attractive.

Great place for food and drink reasonably priced and fast service we stopped in before a gig on a busy Saturday and were seated quickly, great range on the menu and good range of non alcoholic beers. Friendly service and happy to make changes to our orders. Right next to crystal palace park so great location too

Easter Sunday Lunch was a delight. There was a nice atmosphere. We were seated in the library which had doors opening onto the outdoor seating area. We are a family of four and all chose different roasts which were tasty plentiful and well cooked with offers of extra gravy, plenty of vegetables lovely roasties. The staff were quick and responsive, the manager was on the ball but lovely and kind to our 7 year old. The pub had paid for a fantastic person to come and face paint which was free to us as a family. Really nice touch. Would definitely recommend, nice and close to Crystal Park and caravan site. We will be back!

Very busy but didn't have to wait long at the bar. Friendly and professional service plus Aspalls on tap.

I recently visited this pub that I found to be a great spot to unwind with friends after a long day. The pub had a lot of things going for it, including a nice outdoor seating area, friendly staff, spacious interior, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere.
One of the things that stood out about the pub was the outdoor seating area. The seating was comfortable, and there were plenty of tables and chairs available. Additionally, the staff were attentive and made sure that our orders were taken promptly.
The pub's interior was also spacious, with plenty of seating available both indoors and outdoors. Despite being busy, it never felt overcrowded or claustrophobic. The decor was stylish and modern, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.
The food at the pub was excellent. We ordered a few different dishes to share, and everything was delicious. The menu was varied, with a good selection of classic pub fare and more contemporary options. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. They were attentive without being intrusive, and they always made sure that we had everything we needed.
Overall, I would highly recommend this pub to anyone looking for a vibrant and busy spot to enjoy good food, drinks, and company. The outdoor seating, friendly staff, and spacious interior make it a great spot for groups of all sizes, and the delicious food and lively atmosphere are sure to make it a favorite among pub-goers.

Nice spacious pub with good outdoor space at the front. Large selection of drinks and good food, definitely worth a visit if in the area
Kelpie
Great stay would return again.
Rooms are good size and comfortable. Decor was nice too.
Bathroom was great with powerful hot shower. Toiletries too.
Only downside was our room was adjacent to a large extractor outlet, which was noisy 247 so if a light sleeper you would need earplugs.
Can’t comment on the pub itself for this trip but have been in the past for quiz and Christmas carols and has always been great!
Paul Durie
Huge place with rooms above, big beer garden. Well furnished with nice staff (sometimes they hand out free samples of ale and cider)
Well located and we'll worth visiting
Tomas Curtis

Teresa Swinford

Carmelo Camenzuli
Great pub and well dog friendly, they even have dog treats aha. Cosy atmosphere and good couches. Thought the staff were quality as well. 5 star.
Johanne Naomi Osborne
Walked with our dog from Bromley through Beckenham Place Park, Cator Park and finally Crystal Palace Park, and how nice was it after that 2 hour walk to flop down in a big armchair with our dog by our side and enjoy a couple of drinks before heading home. Lovely finding a dog friendly pub, most enjoyable, friendly staff, will return.
Tina Campbell
Friendly atmosphere and an excellent vegetarian option with no aubergine or courgette in sight�
Will definitely be back
Louise Enfield
Just had an early Christmas lunch with friends. Food was great, the table had been beautifully decorated and the staff were fantastic. Thanks for a great afternoon
Conley Kevin Riley
It's a good pub it's a bit pricey to be honest.. the food is nice and it's a ok selection of drinks nice staff and got a good feel about it
Meme Mia
Place looks good but do NOT waste your money on the food please! No seasoning what so ever..not even the standard salt! Eat out first people.
Wayne Martin
great band in there Friday night place was jumping with a great vibe... little video in the comments
Luiz Freire
One of the best steaks I had, and an awesome beer selection, apart from a great environment... one of my favourites in London
Leanne Michelle Penning
Very friendly and helpful staff/waitresses. Gorgeous roast beef dinners and plenty of food in the portions. Atmosphere is warm and cosy with oldy worldy decorations. Very nice afternoon. Good idea to book ahead for Sunday lunches as it does get busy for Sunday roast. Overall loved it and would certainly go there again soon �
Nichola Elizabeth Caldwell
Okay for a late drink bit tacky but he ho
Mark Kelly
Great all round venue, if the suns out you can sit in the front beer garden and you're allowed your dog :)
They have a great range of Ale as well as beers etc and it changes regularly.
The food is very good, have yet to have the roast but saw it getting served on Sunday and will be returning to try it!
Vanusa Bogalho
My favourite pub in Crystal Palace for sure, just love the vibe <3
Ian Sheen

Jermine Nuby
Great space, great vibe, cool clientele - was great out front except traffic is too close. Otherwise a great venue CP has a nice vibe
Ronnie Cuthbert
Great pub with brilliant atmosphere and good food.
Michelle Wiggins
Great atmosphere(Although it was soooo busy and had difficulty finding a seat. Should be a seperate eating section when busy like this) Great selection of beers, wines and spirits etc. Would like to have seen a few more sides or nibbles on menu. We were booked to go out for dinner so didnt want anything too big. Maybe just a few nibbles to get us by but there wasn't much of a selection.
Chrissie Mitchell
Great pub..brilliant atmosphere..excellent food...Will definitely be going back �
Joe Madigan
Great pub! Good selection of ales and also the larger stuff. Staff all very friendly and the food is way above your standard pub grub. 5*
Karen Dalby
Visited for coffee - which was great - after having a wander around the shops. My friend and I were delighted to find a jazz band playing on this afternoon on Sunday. We will be back! Very attentive and friendly staff too.
David Williams

Peter Palmer
Westow House..is one of the most unique Bars ..decor just amasing inside.Its my favourite bar when I come to stay in London.Atmosphere is great with live bands..food amasing..and so well presented. A must visit placece for any one..especially after a long walk around Crysral Palace park with the dogs..bar is dog friendly..a must have visit for any one...
Catherine Louise Rowden
Place smells like a public toilet ... sort it out !!!!
Marco Agnilleri
Nice venue, been going there for years, but unfortunately the bar service has seriously deteriorated over the past year or so, during busy periods the same certain members of staff seriously have trouble differentiating who's been waiting at the bar 15 minutes and who's been waiting there for 15 seconds.. This has become a common thing recently.. Maybe they should be sent on a training course or something?
Tracy Leslie
Had the Sunday lunch, slow roast belly pork, was delicious!
Tallulah Brown
Fantastic vibes everytime I go there I have a great time. Christopher and christa. So much fun xxx
Heather Plumb
Not been to the Westow since I last worked in Crystal Palace in 2015. Really like the relaxed atmosphere but they do need to replace those red sofas as they really look dirty. It will be my local again for this year, hoping that they bring back Aspall cider
Mark Bradshaw
Sunday roast with sister and brother in law great.
Tim Newsome
Ace boozer - fantastic atmosphere, loads of great ales and shows the footy / has live bands.
Rumiana Georgieva
Ho dear...Westow House has gone down in quality since I was last here... :-( Food was below average...chips were cool not hot when my plate arrived,the lemon looked like it had mould on it, the monkfish was chewy, but on the other hand, if you love potatoes you are in for a treat. Try the pie with mash... potato heaven :-) (!) All potatoed out! This is a gastropub?? It was a few years ago...not any more!

For the beer alone, the man loves this place. <br/><br/>It holds an ale festival, with kegs of beer all lined up to try and regularly changes it's guest ales on the million different taps it has there. <br/><br/>It's such a fun quirky place, with games on the shelves to play with, random posters and decor everywhere. It looks gorgeous at night, all lit up with strings of lights on the front. It gets VERY busy at weekends and can take a long time to get a drink but they have a decent choice of live music and DJs to keep you entertained. Summer in the front garden is very nice and hot and they place always looks busy, even in the day.<br/><br/>The pub quiz was quite hard and food wasn't that great but they just got a new chef so I will update this once I've tried the new meals, maybe bump their rating up if it's much better.<br/><br/>Revisited Oct '15<br/>Unfortunately, went to try the new chef's roast on a Sunday and found it a bit dry. Veggie Wellington was very nice but the rest of the plate let it down.
