| The Albion is open again. Nice and bright and clean. The beer's still good for Hall & Woodhouse (whatever that's supposed to mean!) and the food is still basic, plentiful and cheap. They've virtually rebuilt the toilets, so for the first time ever in my experience (going back over 20 years) you don't have to borrow a gas mask to go in there. Worth a visit, I think. The drunken Glaswegian doen't go in there much any more, but he can be avoided if he is. He's usually outside smoking anyway and I haven't seen him drunk for quite a long time. He does have health problems that sometimes make him grouchy. But if you get into conversation with him, you'll discover what a rich and eventful life he's led. He's just a bit rough round the edges. It is a proper pub. There are locals in there, and they will laugh and make a bit of noise (and swear occasionally). If what you're looking for is poncy food at high prices, lacklustre service and a bar running hot and cold with ex public schoolboys, try The Olive Branch. It's only 100 yards away. You're welcome to it! scorpiodog - 21 Oct 2010 16:43 |
| The Albion was damaged in a fire in July of 2009. It is currently closed. Rumor has it that the reconstruction is to be completed in summer of 2010. Not sure what will happen once the rebuilding is done. It's too bad because I believe the place was under new management before the fire and my experiences there in spring 2009 were good. The bar staff were friendly and the food was reasonably priced with good quality. new2dorset - 29 Mar 2010 20:25 |
| Stupid "over 21's only" rule and slightly hostile atmosphere. As far as Hall and Woodhouse go however the beer is not bad.. clarkey_cat - 10 Jul 2008 11:48 |
| Had a Tanglefoot which was OK. Only problem was we went in for lunch but left as the dining area was dominated by toddlers and prams. Not sure if this is usual though. pxk99 - 13 Apr 2008 20:37 |
"Fresh home cooked food" they bang on about. It's a pitty my fish, despite waiting a long time for it, was still frozen in places! "Fresh home cooked food" ???? what a lie And watch out for the pub bore - a disgusting, drunken Glaswegian slob and they wonder why other pubs in Wimborne are busier at dinner times! This pub is a disgrace. Sappi455 - 3 Jul 2007 12:57 |
