🚇 Westbourne Park 🍺 £7.00 Estrella ❤️ A welcoming West London Gastro. . The Westbourne is located on a quiet side street at the edge of Notting Hill. The nearest Tube is Westbourne Park. . This pub was built in 1852 as The Westbourne Tavern, like a lot of pubs these days the “Tavern” has been dropped from the pubs name. . The decor here has a rustic shabby chic feel to it. This one bar pub has an eclectic mix of tables and chairs of which there are many. There is a good size servery which has an open kitchen on the right, the food smelt great as it wafted across the bar. The walls are adorned with a random mix of pop art, paintings, plus photos of punters who’s local this is. To the left of the servery is a secluded snug which has a comfy sofa to relax in to. If you fancy catching a few rays there is plenty of seating out front. . The beer selection was craft focused and included some mainstream brands plus two cask ales. I decided to keep it simple and ordered an Estrella, my pint was excellent but was pricey at £7. This Gastro has a revolving seasonal menu which includes British classics and has a distinct Mediterranean feel to it. Around the walls are a number of chalkboards detailing the extensive food and drinks options available here. . I visited just after 1pm on a Saturday lunchtime and the pub was busy with a buzzing atmosphere. The clientele were predominantly a young well-heeled crowd, there were a few other punters, one of which was an older gentleman nursing a large glass of wine who was in deep thought, pubs are great places to reflect. The soundtrack was upbeat soulful classics which was popular with a large group in for a birthday. The service was great, the staff were welcoming and all smiles. . I enjoyed my visit to @thewestbourne ,mostly because the upbeat vibe and the mix of punters. A Public House is somewhere regardless of background you can mix, socialise and interact, it was great to see that here in full swing. Definitely worth a visit folks. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 13.05.23

For me it’s 4.5 stars rounded up on google. The Westbourne is a great place to take the family for a casual meal or a Sunday roast. It suits families perfectly as it’s not a sports pub, and there is plenty of room around the tables so it doesn’t feel cramped. Also, there is plenty of outdoor space. I take the family there probably twice a month. More importantly, the beers are great and frequently changed. They don’t advertise having craft beers and sell Camden pale or beavertown. They sell regional and local quality cask and keg ale, at the right price, with a few staples such as Burning Skies ‘Arise’. The food is for the most part good quality. It’s gone up and down over the years with chef teams changing, but the regular menu provides enough variety for the occasional visitor. The Sunday roasts are on the smaller side, but top notch in terms of quality. Meats sourced from local providers and farms. The only issue for me food wise is the burgers. I love my burgers, but rarely/never order them at the Westbourne. These could and should be better to compliment the rest of the menu and pub. They are just too basic.
