| Typical Esher pub where you'll fin plenty of hooraying posho's. Don't let that put you off too much though as they do serve a good selection of beers, and the food is nice in a pricey Esher kind of way. 6 ales on tap when I visited & they show sports too but not too obtrusively. The only slight downside was that I had to sit within spitting distance of Joe Cole & I'm an Arsenal fan! Good place overall cracko - 7 May 2008 14:52 |
| Anyone looking for ale would worry reading the sign ‘Bar, Restaurant, Private Dining’, but I was steeled by GuideDogSaint’s mention of several great beers. Six of the eight handpumps were on, offering Surrey Hills Ranmore & Shere Drop, Twickenham Ales Scrum Down, Hop Daemon Golden Braid, Cottage Whippet Pawfather, Pride, all £3 or, most annoyingly, £3.10 for 2 halves! Horseshoe bar at front entrance, good enough drinking area, signed rugby shirts, a few old shots of locale, plasma screen, tall round tables with stools. Beyond this a long narrow stretch of tables laid for dining, banquette seating one side under windows (blinds throughout), chairs the other. A small admin position oddly sits between the bar & rest – I doubt I would enjoy being seated for a meal next to a phone & computer point. I didn’t see the main menu, bar sarnies were £3-£5, wine list was good but the decent stuff accelerated pretty quickly from £18. Beer choice was good and such a selection suggests that they have the evening throughpull to support it but I tried 4 at lunchtime and they were just ok, leaning slightly toward tepid, and were poured from on high in that one-handed (off-handed!) ‘glass-sitting-in-drip-tray’ fashion. Can understand ‘pretentious’ comments elsewhere but I can think of many worse places for a few pints if the beer was pulled thru & served properly. trainman - 5 Mar 2008 11:13 |
| Mark for this place is being dragged down by some old ratings. In here on Wednesday and 8 real ales were on, I tried the Surrey Hills Shere Drop and Albury Ruby, Crouch Vale Amarillo and the Waylands Addled Ale. All very nice particularly the Albury. They also had Twickenham Original and Naked Ladies, Pride and Brewers Gold. A must visit if you are in the area, worth making a trip for if not. GuideDogSaint - 23 Feb 2008 07:38 |
| The pub has had more management attention recently and sells the biggest range of real ale I have seen for a long time. Surrey Hills, Pilgrim, Crondall, Hogs Back and Fullers. Good range of wine too as the owner is a wine merchant. Food does look quite expensive at £16 up for a main course in the restaurant area. Friendly helpful staff and good service.

| The reason for such generally mediocre service is that the owners also own the restaurant 'George' on the High Street. They put a hell of a lot more into that place than they do the good old Albert. To the owners: Do the locals a favour and sell it to someone who gives a crap, please. anonymous - 2 Dec 2006 04:14 |
