Another of my fave pubs in London. Great staff, exceptional food, brilliant drinks selection, fantastic ambience. As an Antic pub, I'm starting to instantly fall in love with their chain as they are definately doing something right.

This is a very fine pub. Great selection of beers, friendly staff and nice surroundings. I haven't tried the food but I've heard good things about it. I went in with some companions the other day to participate in the pub quiz for the first time. We won the £50 prize! A good time was had by all. Determined to return.

The Albert seems to go from strength to strength. Haven't been in for a few months but went down last week for a bite to eat and a few beers. Bar staff were friendly, the music was great (Mariachi El Bronx!), a decent pint of Guinness and the food, while a bit pricy, was really good. Great to finally have a few decent watering holes in the area (Telegraph and Amersham included), but this has to be near the top of the pile.

Excellent pub - probably the best in NX, with the Telegraph a near rival, except the Royal Albert has an excellent atmosphere. It's not just a student pub though - you get a few older types who look a bit boho (almost bobo, and you get a few 'yummy mummy' types here, which you wouldn't expect in NX if you're not familiar with the place). The food is good, and the kitchen is open, so you can see the chefs preparing everything. My only criticism is they could do with more regular chairs and tables - it's sofa heavy here, which opens it up to annoying people who 'reserve' entire sofas by chucking coats on them while they wait an hour to see if more of their mates turn up. This pub could do with a juke box too.

damn fine if expensive roast. nice too see some plaintain on the menu too! alright selection of interesting(ish) beers but also too pricey. the layout of this place still throws me...the bar bit feels all wrong and i just cant quite relax. staff are nice although on a few early evening visits they seem to be hiding in the cellar for a while! here for food, marquis for football, amersham for a good night out.
