Royal Albert, New Cross

I live local and love this pub. Usually when judging a pub, there are several categories it has to score well in: drinks, food, music, staff, toilets and beer garden. I'm pretty sure that it does well in all categories. Drinks are normally priced, the food is great (the platters are great for sharing), the music is decent and not too loud. Toilets are clean and never lacking toilet paper and soap, garden is out the front and a stone's throw from the road, but this really doesn't matter. Staff are friendly too. Monday is pub quiz night, and it's great to take a few friends down to. There's often live music on later in the week. Although it gets busy, there is almost always somewhere to sit and I would rate this far above a lot of other New Cross pubs for the above reasons. Go and enjoy (but not all of you, or I won't get somewhere to sit...)
