The Albion - (Near Kingston upon Thames, South East)

5 /5 Neoma Ray: Always an amazing selection of beers, and they always offer a taster if youre not sure! Poppy recommended me a great IPA by brew York, cant remember the name but it was exactly what I was looking for!!!! Will be back :)

5 /5 Louis Holding: This is without a doubt the best pub I have ever been to in my life, and I mean it completely seriously. The staff are incredibly lovely and have all become great friends of ours, the drinks they get on tap are constantly changing and always incredible and the food is immaculate every time we order it. The Albion has become the best third space I’ve ever had in my life, and there’s no other place away from home that I’d rather spend my time.

1 /5 Yasmin x: My friends and I came here for a roast last Sunday. It was clear they were understaffed (it seemed like only two servers were running the whole place). Three of our meals came out first, and when my friend went up to ask about the others, the server replied, ‘you can talk whilst I’m wiping’, a rude remark and poor service. The rest eventually arrived. I ordered churros for dessert at 1:45 (our table was booked until 2:30). By 2:10 they still hadn’t arrived, so I went up to the till to ask, and the server said he’d check, but still it didn’t come for a while. At 2:20, I asked the other server, who said rudely, ‘didn’t they tell you you’d have a long wait for any food ordered?’ No apology, no offer to check, and no, nobody had told me there’d be a delay. The churros finally came at 2:25, only for the staff to immediately say we needed to leave for the next booking. After making me wait 40 minutes, I was then expected to rush my dessert in five! Completely unacceptable. The roast itself was fine, but nothing special. Service was rude and disorganised. Won’t be returning.

2 /5 Paul McDonnell: Where do I start?… this pub came highly recommended and it sits on a corner opposite lovely park and we were looking forward to a great evening settling down having booked a table. They have a huge range of cask beers and cider, over 15 hand pump to my count . Plus a range of keg beers from their own brewery and others, think they have 20 Taps working We started by ordering 4 halves of pale ale, to do a taste comparison, and then tried another four afterwards, some of these were kegs and some on cask just about all of them were undrinkable, lifeless lack of hop flavour and certainly no cask conditioning to speak of .. We ordered a handful of other styles of beer making up to nearly 20 in total and between us we found three or four beers that we were happy to drink, the rest were all left on the table In the meantime we tried to order some food and no one knew where the menus were. I spent 10 minutes at the bar literally waiting for someone to find me a menu, in the end I took one from someone who was just returning to the bar. It was the usual pub offerings which looked pretty okay, needless to say we didn’t try any of it because we left less than an hour very unhappy with the beer and the service.

5 /5 Will Van der Merwe: We popped in during the week around lunch time. Great pub, chilled vibes - they were playing vinyl LPs, great garden and opposite the park. Great beer selection and decent hot dog. Half price between 12 and 3pm, bonus!
