“After having a bad experience I rang up and spoke to the manager who was very apologetic and invited me to come back in and that I’d be more than welcome. I went back and it was a different manager who knew nothing about the situation and was equally as rude. So that’s two lots of petrol, two lots of time and money spent going to a place for two bad experiences! Ended up going to a lovely little pub round the corner which was wonderful and welcomed all of us.”

“We have never stayed at the Albert so cannot comment but we have eaten and had several drinks over the years. Food is exceptional quality, their Sunday roasts are better than granny used to make and that is no exaggeration! All the food we have had here is top quality freshly made. Never had a bad meal. They have several theme nights like fishy Fridays, pie Wednesdays etc. All on top of their normal menu which is full of choice dishes.”

“Very enjoyable and friendly pub. We chose to take advantage of the Wednesday pie night offer, and did indeed enjoy the food here. Good quality, and restaurant quality. An added bonus was how friendly everyone was here, including other drinkers. Great pub, great location.”

“Visited here several times over a couple of weeks. Great service, really good atmosphere and very comfortable. In or outside is always buzzing. Only ate once on our last night which was unfortunate because it was excellent. The starters were enormous! Had the quiz night pie deal which was delicious, great value. Quiz was very good. Highly recommend a visit.”
