The Albion reviews



This is probably my favourite pub in London. It just twinkles with authenticity. The food is unpretentious and utterly 'spot-hitting'. It's a magic kind of place, whilst still being ordinary and homely. I love it!

I went for dinner last night and I truly enjoyed the cosy atmosphere and the lovely food. The waitress who served us was smiley and helpful. The portions were really generous and my braised beef absolutely stunning!

Went on Sunday for lunch and the place looked great after the makeover. Food was even better than the paint job and the waiters were nice - not in your face but seemed to know the menu when I asked for a recommendation.

Well priced and well chosen wine list. Very busy, so go early (otherwise you might have to wait for a drink at the bar... but not 16 mins!).

The food was OK but for the price I expected a lot more for my money. However, the real problem was the staff. Inept is a word that barely describes the incompetence of these people - 16 minutes to get a drink from the bar?!...

Fabulous refurb with really elegant interior. Gorgeous food and such a stunning garden! Can't wait to sit out there in the summer and feast on some hog-roast!

This is like a different place now, and already being discovered by many. Recent refurbishment looks good, both inside and out. I look forward to spending summer days here in the garden. Food excellent, staff friendly, service reasonable - it is what it is, a great pub serving great food.

Nice place to sit outside in the summer if you can get a seat.

Not generally a fan of places that don't play music but the food's great and it's a nice snug little pub. Impressive.
