By miles the best venue visited tonight thus far in terms of ambiance and beer choices although clear there is less cask and more keg than previous review 5 years ago and upwards. In fact there appeared to be only 5 hand pumps of which 3 were showing the “coming soon” stickers and so I opted for the Portobello Brewing bitter named Star, an amber nectar at 4.3%, the other one being a Brixton Life on Mars dark mild that was quite tempting. Was pretty busy a bit before 7pm, with numbers bolstered by a small wake on-going in the small room on the left immediately as you walk through the front door! Unlike prior venue this evening, can’t imagine this place would have any difficulty making its way in the world. Suspect the interior has had a lick of paint since the last reviews as it felt quite light and airy inside. Rating based on a genuine belief there would ordinarily be 5 cask options rather than the two on my start if week visit!

A large lump of a pub and unmistakably an Antic pub with randomly styled and situated seating inside with more tradition picnic bench seating outside at the front of the pub. Eight handpumps featuring beers from Volden, Arbour, Adnams, Watneys and Siren, my choice was Siren Yulu and decent in quality. The pub had a good vibe and I liked it here.

The Westow House is situated on the corner of a busy road junction.
This could be a decent looking pub but it is painted black which makes it look drab in my opinion.
Once inside there is a single L shaped room with the bar facing,the room is bare boarded,the seating is bench type to the front and normal tables and chairs down the left side,the rear left side is down a few steps where there is some more bench seating.
There was a decent choice of real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Swannay Scapa Special which went down well,the other beers noted were Volden Sesion/Volden Pale plus a beer from Tring and a couple more which i can read my notes of.
There was background music playing which was crap.
The beer was nice but i did not really take to this pub.
