Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Westbourne

With its dark grey external paintwork, this looks like a gastro-pub as you approach, but the large, light and unfussy interior sparsely furnished with modern furniture turns out otherwise. Also has some tables along the sunny main facade with established trees providing welcome shade. Four cask ales on handpump, including Dorking's 1886 Dark Mild (£4.50), along with 11 craft beer and cider keg taps. Mostly popular with a younger crowd by the look of things, but I didn't feel out of place.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Westbourne

This pub felt more of a food led pub on our Thursday afternoon visit. The bar area was completely deserted of staff as they were concentrating on serving the food out from the kitchen hatch down at the far right hand side. We waited patiently and didn't get any apology, plus I found for all the free space in the pub, that the seating was very limited, however the exterior was excellent. Four handpumps Vibrant Forest PUPA and Black Forest Porter, Gun Brewery Zamzama IPA and Dorking Brewery DB ONE Best. There was also a choice of ten craft beers along the bar front.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Westbourne

As Paul says below, the Westbourne is a trendy local on the Portland Road. The brightly painted blue exterior has "Westbourne" painted in large yellow letters, just in case you're struggling to locate it.

The bar is on the right-hand side as you enter from the corner. There are 4 handpulls, which were dispensing Dorking Vestri, Only With Love Dodger, Burning Sky Export Stout & Sunken Knave Firebreak. Craft beers were Bristol Beer Factory Black Gates, Burning Sky Vatted Porter & Arise, Wiper & True Third Time's A Charm, Hand Mono, Hammerton Quaff & Only With Love Bantam. Keg ciders were Little Pomona Little Miracle, Sandford Orchards Devon Red & Umbrella Cider.

This is a pub which has dropped out of this year's Good Beer Guide. But I thought the beer selection was very good and my Sunken Knave Firebreak was in a reasonable condition. Defnitely one to include on any Hove crawl.
