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.

Enjoyed a delicious meal with friends at The Albion last night . Made the decision to try new additions to the menu , which is amazing may I say . We were greeted by smiling helpful staff and for the first time decided to eat...in the bar which was very relaxing. All the food was very tasty and beautifully presented , accompanied by a good glass of wine , we went for the kofta and prawns as starters , sharing amongst our party as nobody could make a decision. The hunters chicken for main was lovely and served with fresh hand cut salad not limp bagged greenery!!! Two chose the chilli which went down very well ….. they didn’t offer to share that !!!! Highly recommend trying the new larger menu , I’m sure you won’t be disappointedMore

I've eaten at The Albion regularly this year, a great find, seriously good food, varied menu, lots of specials that are updated often, great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff, good looking restaurant, quick service, however packed it gets in there. Great local pub / restaurant. Reluctant...to try anywhere else because this place is so reliable. The regular event nights get booked up fast so best to get in there quickly.More

Had a very pleasant lunch here today with a group of fellow walkers. The dining area was very spacious and light and the lunch menu had something on it for everyone, including Vegan and gluten-free options. The waiter was very pleasant and helpful and the...food, while a little slow coming out, was enjoyed by everyone. One of us asked for coffee in a mug which he found while the rest was served in their usual cups and saucers. The food looked a little expensive but as they had a 2 for £20 offer on worked out okay. Very happy to reccomend them and I would definitely eat there again.More

I was a little disappointed in the menu as there didn't seem to be much choice. The food was OK but nothing amazing. The waitress was lovely and very helpful and the wine was very nice. Looking at other reviews we were hoping for some...options like steak, lamb shank, maybe a steak and ale pie. This menu was everything with chips type of menu.More

A wonderful time spent at The Albion Inn tonight . Dinner in lovely surroundings was delicious. Started with the salt and chilli squid then had a mixed grill with a fillet steak that you could cut like butter , absolutely amazing. The peppercorn sauce on...the side was a lovely addition too . It would have been rude not to try the tiramisu baileys cocktail for dessert, heaven in a glass . As always greeted with a smile by all the staff and lovely being able to pass on our compliments to the chef . So nice to be able to enjoy a delicious meal on our doorstep, meaning we can try the wines on offer too . Highly recommendedMore

I ate at The Albion last night, second time i have had a meal there now and feel they deserve a review. The food is exceptional, i had game pie last week and lamb shank last night, both cooked to perfection, full of flavour. Served...by such lovely, happy, friendly staff in a beautiful clean and classy restaurant. This is a great find, a lovely country pub in beautiful surroundings and the fact that they always seem to be busy is a good indication the landlord and his team are giving their customers what they want. Looking forward to coming back.More

The Albion used to be deserted on a Friday night. Then Paul Williams came along and turned it into the perfect village pub. It's now got everything you want. Interesting locals, friendly and smiling bar staff, good hearty food with that touch of 'special' meaning...you wouldn't be able to knock it up at home in the microwave for half the price and great beers from local Sixpenny Best Bitter, Timothy Taylor's Landlord through to Guinness and a range of regular and premium lagers. To top it all, Paul arranges local top-class acts on a regular basis, such as Jax the other evening, who came to perform her Adele tribute. The pub was packed and we all had a marvellous night. To your continuing good success, Paul and your excellent team - you have rescued the local pub for us.More
