picture of The Great WesternWith such a grand name, the Great Western is, in fact, a small unassuming pub close to St Mary's hospital. The modernish signage is rather at odds with the old fashioned interior, which consisted of a few bar stools and some red velour 'U' shaped bench seating. Essentially this a simple, no nonsense pub perfectly fine for a couple of drinks (although we've yet to experience it straight after work). It has to be said that for some reason we can't quite put our finger on, we've got a bit of a soft spot for this pub. However, there is pretty good pub-related competition nearby.
