The Royal Albert Pub Reviews

Live music every Sunday night from 9pm. Loads of good bands and always a good turnout!

Really lovely atmosphere very cosy relaxing. The food was very nice too.

Always enjoy my visit here when I'm in the area. Good selection of beers, BT Sport's Tele for the sports.

This is a cosy establishment with low lighting that makes it ideal for the cold months, but it's a good pub all-year round. The food is average for nowadays' standards but better than when it first opened under Antic. The varying ale selection is still very good although it's been weakened by Antic's insistence on selling its own brewery's (Volden) slime. It attracts a mixed crowd which is surprising for an Antic pub but beneficial nonetheless. Well worth a visit.

Great atmosphere and good selection of ciders etc...

One of the best pubs in New Cross - got so much character and we love going here. Just needs a bit more seating in the main area and the Welsh rarebit back on the menu!

Good beer selection. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Beer garden from the street. My favourite pub in New Cross.

Best pub in the area. Always a good selection of beer on, friendly staff and cosy atmosphere. Has a TV for big sporting events but it never dominates the room. An asset to New Cross/Deptford

A proper pub, but modernised tastefully. Decent selection of non alcoholic drinks for those tee totallers. Great beers for the rest.

An excellent, bustling archaic pub serving divine food and a wide range of fine wines and other equally delectable beverages. One would thoroughly recommend the ravishing sticky toffee experience, there is not one like said sticky toffee pudding in all of the borough of Lewisham. One would advise visiting on a fine Monday's eve to challenge the locals to a pub quiz.Snappy service, Sophisticated setting, and overall a super soir!

Great Sunday lunch. Kid friendly meat cooked perfectly. Friendly and helpful staff. Great place.

Cool old school pub, dark and classic interior. Can get incredibly busy which i personally find a little annoying. Outside area out the front to smoke/drink with benches. Definitely worth checking out if in the area.

Another must go to London pub great beer great atmosphere.

Albert is a nice pub. Very mature studenty vibe. Food was good when we visited.

Beautiful decor with a buzzy feel. Great board game, food and drink selection! Has a cosy, festival feel! Great place for a happening, intimate drink or socialising with friends. One of my favourite places in the SE area.

Good pub, tatty feel but great bar and great bar service

Great little pub in Deptford; quirky and cosy, and always has great beer, food and music to offer!

Excellent local pub, good selection of drinks, friendly staff and a kitchen that produces a range of food which is a cut above the rest.

Fair range of cask ales, great food, fun staff. Really nice Antic styled pub.

One of my favourite bars in London. Friendly staff, reasonably priced and quality food. Comfortable seating and great tunes.

Great pub with a good outdoor space. Nice and relaxed vibe to it. Solid selection of beers on tap too - although rather expensive. Worth a visit if you're in the locality!

Good selection of beers. Nice, well priced food. Street side outdoor area and good atmosphere.

Probably my favourite London pub, worth a trip from afar.

Great atmosphere, beer very varied and well kept. For some reason, bar staff unwelcoming and give the impression they don't want to be there. Shame as it's a real downside to what could be a great pub.

Gorgeous roast dinner, had the belly pork, I would thoroughly recommend it. Dog friendly pub and we booked a table on the Sunday afternoon.

This pub has always been a firm favourite. Back in the day in a previous incarnation but was an amazing music venue. Nowadays it's a great local boozer. Perfect for a cracking pint and the atmosphere of the busy area of new cross and deptford

Great pub, excellent food. Special thanks to the top kitchen crew for taking some last minute orders right on closing. You guys are awesome.

Sunday roast was excellent and a decent selection of drinks. Felt a bit sorry for the waiting staff as they were very rushed.

A great local pub

Plenty of cosy seating to kick back and relax, with outside seating too.

Good range of drinks

A fun lively pub!

Good local pub. sunday roasts are recommended and they have a large dining area or you can chill with your mates in section more like a traditional pub

Fantastic Victorian pub from 1800's, great unusual decor with individual beers, would recommend

Fantastic varied menu at excellent prices. Must book for Sunday roast. Very comfortable and relaxing.

Great pub. Friendly staff, good food and a wide range of beers, both draught and bottled.

Went back again for the first time since 2015. Atmosphere still fantastic choice and quality of beer cannot be faulted and the best pork ribs Ive ate since the last time I ate there in 2015. Proper English pub cannot fault it wlll be back as long as I am in the area.

Great roasts, nice decor, really friendly staff and a great for a pint! Although the wine list needs improving...

Just a cool bar in Deptford. Good music, cool vibe, decent beer (eight ales, several crafts and several lagers). Dimly lit, lots of seating, 20-35 crowd, food, outdoor seating, generally great bar.

Great place with live Jazz on a Sunday. Staff are really friendly too

Bar staff gave me a dressing for my wound after I fell off my bike. Excellent jazz too

Great pub. Best for miles around. Highly recommended

One of my top 3 favourite pubs in south east London.

Great pub, friendly staff, fantastic real ales had by our group.

Nice enough as a pub. Food is very hit and miss. Not sure the chef tastes the food before it goes out. Had a very anaemic flavourless Irish stew and almost sour black bean Mexican stew in the last couple of months. Good ribs mind. I 'want' to like the food.

Just returned from the Albert and had to voice my praise for a really good meal. Had the Welsh Black Char-grilled Bavette steak which was cooked (and rested) perfectly. Nice to see some hand cut and odd shaped chips as opposed to the regimented symmetrically shaped or instant freezer variety.

Service from the staff was spot on - honest, upfront, unfussy and unhurried - just how I would expect to be treated, thank you to both chefs and Charlie.

Enjoyed an ice cream dessert which included the Black Coconut flavour... something I had never had before. Delicious. Overall meal was tasty, well cooked and very good value for money.

Will be back (as working in the area) next week.

Many thanks, Terry.

Lovely local pub with a nice vibe, excellent Sunday Roast.

Currently in the process of moving flat, this is my local and I really don't want to move too far away from it as I need to be able to stumble home on a Friday night.
It's not too cold in there, put some clothes on Biff.
Their food is Amazing, and their burger is better than the Jamie Oliver's down the road in Greenwich. Good selection of beers and cider which they mix up regularly to keep us on our toes. Some of the beers are pricey but it is London, everywhere is pricey. Also I always enjoy a drunken bop between the hours of 10pm - 1am on a Friday and Saturday night.
The music is always different but usually they insert something in there for everyone to get off the sofa and have a dance around the living room style pub.

If only I could be left to enjoy all my Sunday nights here. All of them. Live music every Sunday, ecclectic mix of artists. We havent tried the food here but its always busy each time we are here. Advice: arrive well before the set and grab a seat because it gets really jammed.
A range of drinks available too, and as a stout drinker Im glad to have more than just Guiness as an option. This is my go-to live music place.

Great vibe and wide selection of beers. A few interesting ones on tap which I haven't seen at many other places. Sunday music nights are top notch and go on pretty late. Great vibe all year round, but especially in the summer when the outer section really opens the pub out making it pretty inviting when walking past

Really good selection of craft beers. Staff very friendly also.

Went on a fairly busy Friday night. Friendly staff, DJ had the music to an ambient level, and a good selection. The real stand-out, as with Antic pubs was the food. A tad pricey, given the location, but tasted sublime.

Was there on a Thursday eve. Not crowded, outdoor tables...

Good beer, nice food. Usually not too loud and there's an OK selection of board games if you're feeling short on conversation topics. Can get pretty busy at the weekend though.

Playing scrabble whilst having a pint and atmosphere is great

Pub looks rundown but service is good as is the vibe. Great little local and I hear the Sunday roasts are good. Haven't tried them myself but totally plan to after all those good reviews.

A great pub with a lived in feeling. Great selection of beers and other drinky things to try! Lovely staff, chillaxed music, all round a good bit of fun. Food menu looks interesting and varied, good for both the vegetarian and the carnivore among us. A most pleasant visit, come along and enjoy.

Super friendly fast organised staff, cozy environment, Sunday's bands alwayskick azz!

Cosy athmosphere...i d rather say; boring!(Especially, if you were in birds nest before)
Young people sitting well behaved on their tables, chattering, drown out the music. Friendly staff.

Love my locak pub! Cosy and great ambience and atmosphere. Love the Beersticks so much I named my cat after them!

Really nice people, great atmosphere and the food is exceptional.

this is the pub in newcross. best selection of local beer clearly choosen by someone who loves beer. always friendly stuff
In the summer you can also enjoy the beautyful outside area just on new cross road. so romantic!

Nice chilled place, great decor with lots of original pub fittings mixed with vintage comfy chairs and sofas. Great selection of beers & sprits. Really good menu catering for all dietary requirements. Large outdoor eating/drinking area. They have some small tv s and showed the tennis when we were in, not sure if they offer other sports??

Really cosy pub, nice little restaurant at the back, they do a quiz night every Monday which is a lot of fun ad the Quiz master is very entertaining, my team and I are getting better every week,.

it gets packed out in good weather as it has a seating area outside, it is a very old traditional pub, one of my favourites so far

The beer is reasonably priced and the staff are friendly. Really enjoyed the quiz too
