To place your order you go up to the bar where they take your order.

The food taste great and they have an offer on at the moment 2 meals for £10. The staff served us quickly and were very friendly , the pub was very clean and tidy.

I've been a local regular to this pub for a number of years. The ownership has recently changed and…read moresince the food is still very good I feel sad that I no longer feel welcome. I have just experienced the worst possible customer service and I am still in shock at how I have been treated. I arrived a few minutes before 12, another local regular was before me and opened the door. A member of staff came to the door and told us that since it was 11:55 we had to wait outside until they open. Both myself and the person in front of me have walking aids and clearly have disabilities. When they let us inside I explained that I was not happy that they had made two people with disabilities wait standing outside, as it is painful to stand and I felt they could have let us come in and sit down on the chairs by the door until they were ready for service (i.e. the pubs inside waiting area). The lady apologised and said she would take this on board. I excepted her apology but asked if I could talk to the manager. I wanted to talk to the manager as I felt it was important for the establishment to understand the need to make adaptations for disabled people and so wanted an assurance from management that they would let people with disabilities sit in the waiting area. She showed me the manager and I approached him and explained that the people told to wait had disabilities and that they should have let us sit down by the door to wait. The manger completely blanked me, he completely ignored me as I was talking to him, he did not say a word and acted like I was invisible. The poor waitress had to come over and tell me that she would pass on the message to the owner and sat us down at our table. I could not believe how badly I had been treated by the manager. When the manger came over to take payment from me I told him that I was unhappy with the way he had treated me, that he should not have ignored me and should have responded to me when I spoke to him. He rolled his eyes at me then smirked at me and said "what are you talking about you never came over to talk to me" and walked off. The owner then came out and apologised and offered us a free meal next time we visit, but I did not complain in order to get free food so I explained that the behaviour of the manager was not acceptable and therefore it should be the manager that apologises to me. He eventually came over to me, rolled his eyes, smirked at me and in a very unprofessional and antagonistic tone said "sorry but I did not have to deal with you because the woman at the desk was dealing with you". He stated arguing with me, at which point I decided to leave as I did not want an argument. There was no professionalism and his conduct fell very short from what is expected in hospitality. The reason for me wanting to talk to the manger was not to get the waitress into trouble, I just wanted the mangers to understand the impact of not allowing people with disabilities to sit down whilst waiting a few minutes for service to start, as something like that has a big impact on disabled people and the previous owners always used to let us wait inside. Incidentally the manger put a bottle of wine and two beers that I had not ordered on my bill a few weeks ago and he did not apologise for that at the time either, he just walked away without talking to me and got others to deal with it. Treating customers like this is not acceptable, I was not difficult or rude to anyone, I was polite and well mannered, did not raise my voice and was raising a legitimate concern. I payed my bill in full, I was not trying to get money off or a free meal, first I just wanted the establishment to have more disability awareness and then after the conduct of the manager I wanted an apology for the shocking way he treated me. Although the food is good, it's not acceptable to be treated this way, I felt that his behaviour towards me was aggressive and unprofessional, I'm still in shock that this has happened

There's also a loyalty card for regulars with a 20% off the bill which makes it even better value for money.

The bar is quite old fashioned, and is mainly frequented by locals. There is a pool table, some fruit machines and a quiz on a Sunday night. As far as the food goes it varies. The Globe has had a few different owners/ managers over the last few years, so you never really know if the menu is going to have changed. Even when it does it remains fairly typical pub grub all the usual suspects on offer, at reasonable prices. Good enough but nothing special.

I've never come here without a booking. The restaurant part is small and dark with a fireplace at one end and is close to the bar (as is every room). The main area has multiple TVs and is geared towards drink as much as food. There is a small area off to one side with a large screen TV set up like a living room which is always full of people relaxing and watching the TV when I pop by. The food here is fantastic always and although sometimes it isn't perfect it's always created with care. The menu doesn't vary too much and there are a few starters and a few mains and there is a slightly different lunch menu here. I'm always here with 3 other people and we always enjoy our meals. The desserts are pretty standard but the starters and mains can be different. Service isn't always instant but where is in a pub? You'll not have to wait long and you'll get some lovely hot bread with butter and oil & balsamic vinegar for dipping. The owner is often pottering around and you are as likely to have her take your order as one of the staff. Worth the trip out into the middle of nowhere :-)

Rustic and traditional, the restaurant is warm and welcoming with a real fire crackling away during the winter months.

All in all, a great place and a real step up from a bar meal that you'd expect in a pub with a restaurant, hence my opening description.

Overall an absolute disaster, and all for nearly 20 quid, absolute robbery. Don't go there for food if you're expecting much. This is a 2 star eatery at best.

Brynymor Road is in the middle of a very popular area for student accommodation, but the beer in the Westbourne is significantly more expensive than in the 'Brynymor' just up the road, which obviously has an effect on the type of crowd it attracts. Having said that, it is lot more student friendly than it used to be. You will see a lot of students in there at the start and end of term, when they can get their parents to pay for the more expensive beer. They do decent food, and have got on board with some of the newer ideas hitting pubs, wireless internet, coffee and suchlike. There are quite a few flat screens, but local rugby will usually take preference over football. When there's no sport on, they play Sultans of Swing and Build me up Buttercup on loop. I exaggerate, but only slightly.
