The Town House, Ely

Fine beer, great food and wonderful staff make this one of the oddest but most brilliant pubs in the area. There is a dichotomy here. By day the pub is relaxed, airy and quiet. At the weekends it's loud, brash and exciting. It really does have something for everyone. Live music on Sunday afternoons and regular beer festivals only add to the catch-all style of the Town house.

The Prince Albert, Ely

This is how a local pub should be. Still struggling under the yoke of Greedy King, the Prince Albert offers a wide choice of Ale, Real Cider and Keg Classics, all kept in utterly fine fettle! In the summer, the garden is a treat - although the local church bells can be a bit much, but that's not the pubs doing.
A wide range of local custom and more and more passing trade make this pub inviting and welcoming.
I have nothing but utter praise for the Prince Albert. I have always been made to feel welcome, and I never feel I have been over charged when I leave. The XX Mild is a standard, which again, I applaud.
The kitchen and back bar areas *might* be rebuilt and I think this will only add to what is already a fantastic pub. Can I praise it any more?
