A longer read on what makes this place worth your matchday

About the spot

Westow House sits on the Westow Hill junction and acts as the Triangle's default meeting point. Big windows, mismatched furniture, food coming out of the kitchen all day, and on a matchday a crowd that mixes Palace fans with the SE19 regulars before everyone heads down the hill to Selhurst.

Corner pub on the Westow Hill junction in the Triangle. Walking distance down the hill to Selhurst Park. Antic-style sprawling rooms with mismatched furniture. Kitchen running burgers, roasts and pub plates. Craft and cask taps plus a full cocktail bar. Reliable meeting point for groups before a game.

The Triangle's living room. Loud, mixed and busy on a matchday with a clear walk down the hill to Selhurst.

Big group, big table, two hours pre-kick-off

Claim a table near the windows. First round in while burgers land. Palace fans build the room into matchday noise. Walk down Anerley Hill into Selhurst together.

Heads up: book ahead for a table on a matchday, walk-ins struggle for space.

Book the big table by the window if your group is more than four, it is the only sane way to do it on a matchday. Ask for the Hepcat tank beer. It is poured straight from two 500L tanks installed on-site in January, so it's as fresh as it gets.

What to order

On the drinks side, the Hepcat tank beer, brewery-fresh from the on-site tanks. A pint from the craft taps. A cask ale if it is on. A cocktail if you are settling in.

From the kitchen, a burger before kick-off. Sunday roast on an early game. Sharing plates for a group.

Who it suits

Groups of Palace fans on a matchday. Travelling fans who want food and football. Couples meeting friends before the game. Triangle locals using the pub as a living room. Anyone who wants one big easy meeting point.

The verdict

Westow House is the obvious group meet for a Palace day. Big table, big food order, then walk down the hill.
