Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Taylor was great, to knowledge our dog as well was brilliant as a lot of place aren’t dog friendly or...don’t like to approach because the bull breed. Look forward to further visits.More

The food was delicious, lovely restaurant and friendly staff. Not over busy for a Friday evening but nice and pleasant. I didn’t catch the waiters name ( red head guy ). Very friendly, professional and attentive. Look forward to our next visit.

Nice food and staff. The sunday riast was good with really nice beef. a wider variety of veg would have raised my rating to 5. There were no parsnips or red cabbage. But other than that, a nice experience.

It was wonderful to find the Albert open before 10 o'clock after our early start that morning. A delicious breakfast in a lovely welcoming pub.

More than disappointing. I've been going to the Albert for some years and it has always been good. Yesterday, for a Fathers' Day lunch, the experience was pretty grim. The food was awful for all three of us. I had a 'roast' - only beef,...chicken and 'porchetta' on that part of the Sunday menu. I had the porchetta which was dismal: essentially a piece of tasteless belly pork wrapped around ....nothing. In fact none of the meal tasted of anything. The pint of Young's Ordinary beer I began with was clearly off and was replaced without any delay. The meal took over 45 minutes to arrive and we were told any deserts would take a further 30 minutes to come, even a scoop of ice cream. The waiter who served us was very good, cheerful and accomplished. But the whole food and drink experience was fairly dreadful and certainly not worth the money charged. I won't go again. A great shame as it's local to me.More

I've been coming here for years - the quiz is great, the staff are very friendly and it's a great place to meet friends and relax. Downsides are that the food is a bit on the pricey side, and there's no dark ale on tap...(but I do realise that is a very personal gripe). But the welcome is warm and the pub is large and friendly.More

Went for lunch with some friends I ordered the crab salad two friends ordered the avocado on toast with poached eggs and another ordered the soup, we waited quite a while for the food to come out all of the hot food came out first...although the soup wasn’t very hot and the poached eggs were over cooked I then waited a long time for my crab salad to come out when it did eventually arrive all my friends had finished their food and to be quite frank the salad was disappointing there was about two teaspoons of crab a hand full of pea shoots and a few other stuff a load of sauce underneath a load of chopped chills ( more chill than crab) and for the cost of £ 10.50 very over priced for what you got .More
