After being closed for a couple of months, this pub has undergone a complete refurbishment. The new landlord has recarpeted, decorated and put in new furnishings and The Westcourt Arms is now a lot more welcoming! All of the staff are welcoming and there is a definate improvement to what was 'a bit of a dive'. If you have visited before then maybe give it another go and if you haven't visited, ignore the older posts as I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Will not be going back to this hole..toilets so dirty. smell was .....!!!!! even the pint glass had a frosty look about it..clean ha..

Happy to say a new landlord in place and you wouldn't know the place reading from the other comments. Friendly atmosphere, wide selection of drinks (including wine :) ) and very welcoming bar staff and landlord. Give it a try I am sure you will be made very welcome.

An underated pub which serves reasonable beer

i agree with Dunmall a proper shit hole i used the dump in the 70s and 80s you could have a fight quicker the you could have a pint stay away from the bog hole

Not a great pub, generally always full of heavily boozed and very noisy lager louts of varying ages.
Haven't been in since it was refurbed. God, it needed it - formerly like a 1950's working mens club, terrible. Very large and worn down inside.
A very unwelcoming atmosphere - felt like you were very much in the wrong place unless you knew someone. I visited first with a girl a couple of years who wanted some wine, only to be told very gruffly by the landlord "THIS IS A WORKING MENS PUB, WE DON'T DO WINE". Tosser.
Overall, a poor pub with a menacing atmosphere, certainly somewhere that doesn't need to take up several hours of your life. Looks rough, feels rough, all very poor.

Apparently open again. Hope the refurbishment gives a long lease of life, and attracts new customers.

Thank you for informing llculj. Another pub closes then. A sad trend that�ll continue I fear.

The pub is now closed i belive, used to be a great little place but bit to quite, still pool was always availible! Great people though.

Does this pub have funny opening hours? I intended to visit a couple of nights ago (Sept 24th) but it appeared to be closed. In fact, it appears to have no life around it every time I pass it. It�s a rather uninviting looking place from the outside, but I find that intriguing. What could possibly lie within? I�m sure this reviewer will find out someday!

Superb pub, full of life and a lively bar staff.
Excellent licensee who's got a proper sense of humour and a lovely cheeky laugh.
Proper beer, good atmosphere and welcoming.
Go there

used to be a nice, friendly place with good beers - met a lot of friendly locals there - learned the real cultural English (I am German , you know) - am still having contact to some of them, although they keep mentioning the war" - You know I only mentioned it once but I think I got away with it---It�s a shame the place has probably been run down a little bit over the years - but it�s definitely worth a visit--- I�ll be there soon again.
Hope to see you there,
Christian
