| Closed when we turned up @ 6pm - we were following the original ale trail as it is 40th anniversary of CAMRA - dissapointed. We rang but were informed that they would not be opening that evening. kernott1 - 30 Dec 2011 09:34 |
| Visited again whilst working in Chester. I only went in for 1 but ended up chatting to a fellow drinker and the barman and stayed for 3. Top pub for a chat and beer. In Chester, you must visit. rpf1955 - 20 Nov 2011 18:11 |
| A back street boozer just a couple of minutes walk from one of the main strips, but due to it’s location on the corner of a row of terraced houses and some old alms houses it feels a million miles away from the noisy bars nearby. It’s not obviously a pub from the outside, with no pub sign other than the name etched in to the window glass. There are three rooms inside – the largest on the left might be described as a lounge, and there is a small snug to the right. Behind this, a slightly larger room. Both the lounge and the snug have piano’s, which made a change from the omnipresent plasma. The decor in the lounge gives it quite a “busy” feel, with red patterned carpet and green leafy wallpaper. There was some bench seating around the perimeter and plenty of small bar tables and stools plus a couple of old standard lamps. On the wall were numerous old product signs, such as those for Colman’s Starch, Wills Star Cigarettes, Fry’s Chocolate and Rowntree’s Chocolates and Pastilles. There were even a couple of illuminated Shell signs above the bar. In the snug I spotted a couple of vinyl records in a glass case. There looked to be a decent selection of food chalked up on a board, although we didn’t sample it ourselves. The beers on tap were Mardue Brewery’s Radgie Gadgie and Black Sheep. The solitary cider was Scrumpy Jack. Blackthorn - 15 Jul 2011 00:08 |
| odd feeling with this pub...we were the only people in here on a Weds evening and the barmaid looked bored senseless...only one ale on. burns20 - 31 May 2011 19:26 |
| A lovely, quaint bit of Old England - a pub as pubs ought to be . Only visited at lunchtime so it was a bit quiet, but still stayed for three pints. The sign proclaiming "This is a family hostile pub" ought to be compulsory for every boozer in the country! Long may The Albion continue the good work! scoobybooze - 23 Mar 2011 19:15 |
