The Westbourne is never short of diners who flock here to soak up the lively atmosphere of the place. Being a pub the drinks list is packed with quality stuff, a good selection of foreign beers and a very pleasing wine list. Many of Westbourne's visitors come looking for food as well, enticed by an exciting and regularly changing menu.

Here is gastropub fare at its best and treats like curried parsnip soup with crème fraîche and parsnip crisps, and game terrine with foie gras, pistachio, onion marmalade, toast and pickles come to mind instantly. Main courses like pot roasted pheasant with bacon, shallots, oyster mushrooms, garlic mash and winter greens follow a more exotic route while the much loved Gloucester Old Spot pork loin chop is a simple pleasure made more interesting with accompaniments like butterbeans, chorizo, black cabbage and red wine sauce. A dessert of honeycomb parfait with poached pears completes the equation at The Westbourne.
