The Westbury

Wow well it’s certainly a new looking pub but in the most strange of locations in the middle of anything really. So I suppose it’s for locals. Good choice of beers though and I quite like idea of these random nice pubs that are found in unexpected places.

Amazing atmosphere, modern décor, very welcoming staff and great food, I went here for a roast dinner and not only did the food come promptly it tasted great aswell. They also serve roasts until 8 which is quite unusual and when your a bit hungover the later the better. I would definitely recommend this pub for food, or just drinks. Has a nice spacious outside area aswell for when you fancy sitting outside on the sun.

A recently modernised gem. Great range of ales, cool décor, excellent home cooked food — so happy it’s opened up.

The Westbury has just been given a massive facelift after being taken over by the same company who own the Brownswood near Manor House and The Jolly Butchers in Stoke Newington. Although I have only visited it once since opening (this week) it is safe to say that it’s a positive addition to the scant choice of quality drinking holes close to Turnpike Lane tube, not including the new bars and The Salisbury on Green Lanes. A good selection of ales, beer and wine on the bar and food is to come. I have to admit it seems a little out of place to me but I think I may be a little delusional as to how much the area has actually changed! I hope it remains a genuine local whilst welcoming the newer members of the community.

There aren’t many decent bars in the area, in fact you have to go into Crouch End or Muswell Hill for a good pub. However, The Westbury is the best in the area. The owners have recently refurbished many parts of the pub and whilst it does remain a bit tatty it’s still a great LOCAL boozer. Quiz night is good and they even have a jamming night with local musicians turning up for a session.
