| Yep, it is a student place with it being close to Goldsmiths but does still have some 'edge' if that's your bag (such as being offered weed EVERY time I go in). A great atmosphere in any case. Newspapers on a Sunday and Jazz on a Friday, and a nice indie-ish music collection direct from the barstaff's iPods on other occasions. Some odd ales and ciders I'd not seen before served in dimpled glasses, and veggie friendly. Always a pleasant drinking experience. Rayzer - 4 Feb 2010 12:39 |
| Being a North London boy for ten years, moving to Deptford was a leap, but this pub has made it all worth while. A hidden gem. Sunday lunch is fantastic both for value and most definitely taste. Really really good.Fantastic! Good beer too. And a great atmosphere. I'm stuck between not wanting to tell everyone so I can't find a seat anymore, and telling everyone because I love it so much.

| I found the barman in here to be very pleasant and he was apologetic when he informed me that the Guinness had run out and they were still waiting for a delivery. I swerved the premium and standard lagers and plumped for one of the four random ales which was very nice. This place is quite food orientated and there is a dining type area at the rear. The front of the pub is mainly laid out with sofas and there is a table football game located in the centre. I spotted a plasma screen, but this was off and I didn’t spot any Sky Sports Signs. There weren’t that many people in during my visit, but I did get a student pub feel to the place. This place is ok for a pint or two if passing, but I wouldn’t make this my destination pub for an evening. Strongers - 11 Nov 2009 11:48 |

| Have been popping into the Royal Albert since it first opened and still enjoy its good range of real ales (for the hubby) and bottled beers/wheat beers (for me). Last Sunday we popped in for an afternoon pint, with no intention of eating, however after seeing and smelling the food I could resist no longer and opted for their roast beef dinner! Was great - the only thing I could do better myself was the yorkshires (and I've yet to find one better than my own!). Deffo recommended for food - will be going back on a week night to try out their great sounding menu I agree with the poster below that some of the furniture could maybe do with being put on the dump - theres one sofa that is basically like sitting on the floor (I imagine, I wouldnt try it as it looked like I'd never get out again!) Apart from that its a really comfy bar. The staff are really friendly, and you get served quickly. The toilets are always clean with loo roll and soap (it amazes me how many pubs dont have this!!!) and its definitely my fave pub in my local area. Oh and they make fresh popcorn behind the bar if you ask - we didn't have any after our lunch but the smell of it popping was totally inviting! iheartcupcakes - 11 Aug 2009 17:11 |
