West India House

Head out towards Durleigh Road and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that doesn't need to shout about itself. West India House is where you go when you want a proper drink without any faffing about—no craft cocktails or Instagram-bait, just consistently good ale and a room full of regulars who've probably been coming here for years. The crowd's mixed enough that you won't feel out of place whether you're a daily or a rare visitor, and there's enough life in the place to feel buzzy without being loud. It's the sort of boozer that works just as well for a Friday night out as it does for a quiet Tuesday pint.
