The Westford Inn, North Uist

Uistman is right--the lady in front of house is too ready to complain about things--too many campervans, only one person in the kitchen--summer trade has been disappointing--not enough trade to justify employing a part-timer and so on. Its a pity, as when we visited in May it was very busy and cheerful with three pumps of Isle of Skye beer on. Last Sunday we were the only customers and the one cask of Skye ran out. There is a sad sense of defeatism and it should be a thriving pub as there is only the Lochmaddy Hotel in the whole of North Uist as competitiion. Their home-cooked food menu is sensibly limited and very reasonably priced, too. I do hope they cheer up and think positively as its a grand wee pub and deserves to flourish.
