Albert Inn in South Hams

A very good traditional pub. Felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. Enjoyed my fish which was properly cooked and tasty. It was most enjoyable to look around at the pub itself, seeing how it has changed little over the years, just added to over those years. Kept its character , so welcoming.

A hidden gem. Stopped for a couple of drinks (no food but smelt incredible) was an individual guitarist/singer on at the time who was brilliant. Great selection of ale, friendly locals that made me feel like one of their own and a couple of pub dogs that made me feel like I was home from home. An old fashioned traditional pub which is realistically hard to find these days. Will definitely return when I’m in the area next. Keep up the good work.

Great local What a fantastic find. A proper pub serving excellent beer with the very best atmosphere. Don't expect a plastic, fake , pretend pub. This isn't a *spoons" pretend pub, nor a gastro nonsense pub serving mass produced beer. This is a proper English pub serving their own excellent beer alongside a welcoming atmosphere. We didn't eat but the offering smelled wonderful. Well priced too. Well be back one day 😁.

We had a delicious chicken pie with our pints tonight... all very good. Friendly, helpful bartender. Charming authentic atmosphere... an old style pub. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will return for dinner tomorrow night as well. Good menu.

What an amazing find! Angel made us feel very welcome. 6 adults arrived for a Sunday roast and we all said how amazing the food was - no complaints at all. You could tell the food was all home cooked - yum! Very friendly place - we will return!

I've been going here for about 30 years, it's still a great old pub BUT recently the two bar people have been nothing but obnoxious, rude, and 'up themselves', AVOID!

Lovely pub. Came here on a solo trip after a fishing trip down the veir island. Only problem was when i left, had a few too many carlings (as so it seems), left and fell asleep at the local church opposite the pub., And felt so violently ill that i spewed so much, it actually. came out my nose! And no sense of what happened. But never the less. I felt some what a sense of freedom after, like i was back in my teens again. Would go again. It’s almost like nostalgia now!

Ended up here by good luck rather than by design as we tried to get in to other places which were already booked up. We were in the end room where the fire is. Friendly, cosy and unspoilt. The beer was great and the roast was excellent with 3 different sizes of portion to choose from. Just what we wanted.

I have been to the Albert Inn several times and am never disappointed. The pies and steak are delicious and staff friendly and attentive. The lounge bar is particularly nice with a fire and cosy atmosphere. Dogs welcome

Cheeky blond , Albert ale, Bridgetown best. All brewed on site probably the best beers in the world but definitely in Totnes Devon great friendly british pub and with good food as well

A very good Sunday lunch in this traditional local pub and micro brewery at a very reasonable price. My only comment would be the same as a lot of places - serve on a larger plate so the food isn’t piled up. This is a very friendly very rustic pub where you can enjoy a roaring log fire and will always end up chatting with someone - not really the place for a romantic meal for two but perfect for good beer and home cooked food.

Tipico piccolo pub di provincia. L'igiene non è il massimo, i tavoli un pò bisunti, i cani ammessi dentro. Produce una propria birra, tutto sommato discreta. Il cibo è accettabile ed i prezzi buoni.

We went to the Albert on two evenings within the last few days and left happily both times. It presents itself like a place you would have seen in the eighties (except for the non smoking policy naturally), when entering a pub, which is nice to still have nowadays. All the food was good, the mix grill was especially tasty and the prices were more than reasonable, especially for the quality. I also like the fact, that they sell ale from their own microbrewery. All the people serving and at the bar were exceptional friendly and attentive and you also meet two nice friendly dogs. Highly recommended!

Fantastic, great traditional English pub I thought was history. The relaxed chatty atmosphere helped by some of the Alberts own excellent home brew beer creates an environment that sadly has been lost in most pubs. If your in Totnes this place is a must especially the music night absolutely brilliant!!

This is a really great proper pub run and owned by Giles.. perfect beer and I can certainly vouch for the home made steak & ale pie .. the pub has various food nights (check web site) but Saturday is the pie & a pint!..Giles also has a great selection of well priced malts … perfect evening .. thank you

Impeccable, friendly service; could not have been more hospitable. A real pub with history and character for days. Incredible curry washed down with a tasty Albert Ale. We'll be back (if not only to visit puppers Albert and Pixie!)

A real hidden gem of a pub. With quirky decoration and friendly staff, this pub is a must visit in Totnes. From ordering to eating in under half hour, with fantastic curries, it's most definitely a stop to see in Totnes

We are very lucky to have such a traditional pub in Totnes. Great landlord, great food and a relaxed atmosphere. Well done Giles!

This is a great boozer and always good to visit...Yesterday we opted for the Sunday Roast which was either pork or lamb ...both excellent and a nice touch was the homemade apple sauce ...good beer and decent selection of wines and good prices...10 out of 10!

I was i Totnes for just over 36 hours and visited the Albert three times. It is one of those pubs that i will drift away to in particularly boring meetings for years to come. It is ramshackle with few right angles, it is cosy but light enough to easily read your paper and fail to do much of the crossword as i did. or to have a game of gin rummy as a group of other blokes were doing. There is a fruit machine that is permanently switched off. (Which in my mind is even better than no fruit machine at all. )There is a partially trained pub spaniel who pads around dispensing doggie good cheer to all and sundry. The beer (which is brewed on premises )is excellent. nothing super crafty that will scare the horses but best , pale ale and bitter done brilliantly. Local cider for grown ups that the good people at koppaberg should try and go back to making flat pack furniture. Giles and his staff are friendly knowledgeable hosts for whom nothing is too much trouble. There is a lovely wee beer garden out the back and the regulars we met were lovely. We ended up chatting to lots of different people there, the place just lends itself to conversation. Deserves to be supported much as i loved the fact we got a seat easily on a Saturday night it makes me worry a bit. Pop in if you are visiting have a pint remind yourself why you love pubs.

Nice little pub which we found whilst avoiding the rain in Totnes. We spent an hour or so in the evening, did not eat but good value (proper) beer, and other drinks. Quiet friendly atmosphere, traditional decor, just the job for people who like pubs.

What a gem of a find in Bridgetown Totnes.Although it was the owners night off and so shouldn’t of been food available he jumped into the kitchen to rustle up a couple of perfectly cooked steaks. With the selection of their own brewed beers it’s a place definitely worth a visit.

great oldey atmosphere,helped by a very courteous barman. a few very nice real ale choices. the dinner menu looked great but a bit pricey. good location from river dart quayside

Very cosy atmosphere, friendly, welcoming staff. Came highly recommended from the locals, and we'd definitely recommend this pub to others.The food was perfect and sourced locally (the steak from the butcher across the road). We'll be back!

A small place but very warm and friendly. Wednesday evenings are a must seen for the local artists gathering for a jam session.

After visting Berry Pomeroy Castle My Boyfriend took me to the Albert for a romantic meal 🥘 haddock and Chips It was delecious.

Visited with my sports team for some food, which seemed to satisfy everyone. Exceptional beers (especially the hemp one), at a reasonable price too. Also the atmosphere really reflects a genuine old pub! I'll be visiting each week!

Noticed this pub on our walk from Totnes to Berry Pomeroy during our holiday in Totnes so decided to pop in on Mon 5 November for a drink. Great find- super friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, resident dog named Albert who became instant friend- lovely. Visited again Thurs 8 Nov- welcome from the very friendly Tim. Do recommend & will visit again next time we are down in Totnes!

Fantastic little pub with a warm traditional feel. The bar staff were friendly and able to give recommendations on the wide range of great beers. Will definitely go again and bring friends.

Visited with our hockey team after the game for refreshment, food was poor chilli which resembled more lumpy gravy and as for drinks over £8 for 3 lime and sodas and 2 teas, wow your profit margins must be huge as it costs pence for these types of drinks... safe to say I would not be going back again.

Stopped off for a pint as a local friend had recommended the beer. They were right, the drink I had, which was recommended by one of the friendly locals, was excellent.

They may have their own micro brewery but they haven't come up with a distinctive beer taste. Food looked ok, better than the beer!

An excellent pub on the Bridgetown side of Totnes,that is over the river from the main town. A pub that brews its own beer! And jolly good it is too. Because of its location it is off the usual tourist route and is sadly overlooked. It's easy to find,just over the bridge from the main town below St John's church.

Popped in for a quick pint and ended up with 3 1/3rd pints on a paddle. Lots of locals in this friendly unpretentious pub. Owned by couple who also have the excellent cafe and deli, "Me and Mrs Jones" in Torquay. This pub is also in the Good Pub Guide. Strangely you can't take in your dog but you can at the cafe!

This local cosy friendly pub is filled with atmosphere. All the locals talk to you and the publican cooks great value meals. This pub has its own micro brewery and a huge selection of spirits. It has live music as well as other events. Well worth a visit.

Lovely local pub and after last night's terrible meal in the seven stars I feel happy as had a steak and ale pie with a pint for £8.50 which was the tastiest pie I've ever had. It goes to show that little local pubs can cook food much better than posh pubs!!

Visited this traditional pub while staying in the B&B; opposite. Very much a "locals" pub but we were welcomed, seated and served promptly by the staff. Friday night being "pie" night I ordered the brie and mushroom which came with huge chips and peas. My husband had the sausage and mash. Both meals very tasty, and filling. The resident dog (Albert?) sat under the table, obviously waiting to be fed any spare chips! Ale was good and brewed in-house. This is a very traditional pub with no "frills" but perfectly acceptable and reasonably priced.

Fantastic home cooked food locally sourced. Rump Steak outstanding and the homemade garlic sauce is fantastic. Very welcoming staff and local brewed ales and ciders. Very reasonable for the high quality food

Tiene una buena cerveza hecha por el pub creo muy aburrida pero un pub, sospecho es bueno para aquellos que conocen el propietario, pero no vale la pena una visita si no son uno de los clanes y sospecho que es cómo lo quieren. Allí alrededor de una hora y media y muy pocas palabras pronunciadas. No creo que el chico detrás de la barra está en cualquiera invasores entusiasmados su vida privada.

I was passing the Albert inn yesterday and hadn't been in for a long time, used to pass on my way home from work and drop in for a quick one with work friends. first there was no one in the bar to serve had to wait for someone to appear with not a great welcome, had a better welcome from the resident dog. on asking for some ice my wife thought better of it, the ice bucket looked as if it had been dug out of the garden. on finishing my beer you could see that the glass could also do with a good clean, whilst we were there the bar person leaning on the bar reading the news paper!! was on occasion lifting his feet you could here the stickiness of the floor as he did so. Not a good experience. The only redeeming feature is the real ales that is brewed on the premises, one should find out if they supply any of the pubs locally and drink there.

Great steak and ale pie, great people, great place and of course a lovely dog. Highly recommended for casual outing.

Hay un perro, pero él es muy dócil a menos que en la tienda de carnicerías cruzando la carretera.

En un damas quitó no día almuerzo. hambrientos pedimos a la encantadora señora Lisa detrás de la barra para una recomendación y ella sugirió el pastel de carne con cerveza. Dos de nosotros fuimos para eso y uno de nosotros tuvo los huevos con jamón...

Good old fashioned public house with no pretensions to be anything else. A good range of local beers, one of which the landlord had to go down to the cellar for as there were not enough pumps on the bar to serve them all, needless to say it was in exccelent condition.

On arrival, we noticed that the ‘Albert inn’ was a ‘no dog’ establishment. My Mother has Asthma, so therefore is allergic to animal hair. We thought that this was good so then entered. We then came in contact with a dog (we thought that it was the owner’s or something) and walked straight back out. Many people don’t realise the full affect that animal hair has on some people. This review has no reflection on the food at the ‘Albert inn’, which of course we didn’t stay to experience.

For £8.50 I had a 8oz rump steak, chips, peas, onion rings and then a home made mustard relish! It was amazing.They often have events on, today was a beer festival with a wide range of beers and ciders and a lovely patio area outside. Inside is slightly cramped but a good old world atmosphere. Also often have live mud I with a brilliant atmosphere.

V friendly pub with resident dog who rules. Limited menu cooked individually with excellent steak, fish pie and particularly the Caesar salad with chicken served with the dressing separately as I requested. Much to be recommended. Own beer excellent.

This is what pubs used to be like! Own micro brewery, home cooked food.....you have to try the mixed grill and the steak and kidney suet pudding. Great value and really friendly service. The sunday lunch was delicious and a bargain at £5.50. Albert Ale is lovely so is the BridgeTown bitter. Very waggy spaniel called Albert greats you as you walk in. Can't fault it, been here four times on this trip!

I paid a visit to this place on a charity quiz night which was great fun. In the back room they have a nice cosy fire place which adds a lot more character overall. My main highlight was a very decent steak meal for a very decent price. I would recommend this place if you want a quiet drink or just the odd steak meal mid week somewhere, no bells or whistles.

we go to the Albert quite regularly, their "special days" are incredible value.. Well done to Giles and the team..

A gem that sits a short walk from the town centre. It serves good beer and honest pub grub. The welcome is good and there is a delightful back bar.

This is the first pub we visited when we moved to Totnes over a year ago. Good beer, very good prices and the staff are great. This is an unpretentious ale house and every time I visit I have a good time.

Nice little pub, as it's over the bridge in bridgetown it gets missed, which is amazing as it's 2 or 3 minutes from the heart of Totnes.Not really a place for lager fueled nights out, more for chat and enjoying the beer, as it is the tap house for the Bridgetown Brewery.It does sever food most days & it's not bad and reasonaby priced.It also has live music in the main front bar some nights, but there is a small back bar if that's not your thing.

I live nearby and would love to make the Albert my local, but the whole place needs a deep clean and revamp! The upholstery is filthy and the tables are sticky. I wouldn't want to eat here given the obvious poor standard of cleanliness. People say the beer is quite good though.

We have swam in the Dart 10k for 4 years now and have always gone to the Albert on the night before and the day of the swim. The fish pie has kept us going over the 10K swim and we have always had a warm welcome.

We stopped by for a few drinks here. Blokes enjoyed trying the local ales and the barman was very helpful in getting us a taxi to another Inn where we had to meet more friends for dinner (I think he had to call at least 6 numbers to finally get us a ride)!

Giles and Sue will make you feel at home with their friendly service.The real ale brewed on the premises by Giles is superb.The weekly entertainment programme is excellent.This pub is a real treat!

The Albert is an institution in Bridgetown.It has good value food, great beer and glug able wines. For over a century it has served the locals well and early evening there are informal Bridgetown parliamentary discussions. I am not a local having moved here in 86 but it has never ceased to make me feel welcome. I recommend Albert Ale matched with one of the beef and ale pie; guaranteed to cheer you up no matter how you feel.

I gave this pub a bad review after my last visit so i thought i wound look again with fresh eyes, but alas i cant see any improvement at all, its old time charm has gone and replaced by very bad wanna be bands that only seem able to make a loud row, the owner "giles" is as false as Jordans front, and it still smells and is dirty. it once was a great pub and i feel is still running on its old reputation that it sadly cant mentain.

Visited a few times whilst in Totnes.Great 'old school' type of pub, with a great selection of the landlord's own brewed beers which are very tasty, so worth a visit in itself.If in stock, try the Hemp Beer....never had it before...anywhere, so was a great surprise..Friendly dog in residence also :-)

I was very pleased to see that the Albert has not changed since I last called 3 years ago. It is easily the best pub in Totnes (and one of my top 4 in Devon), and is now the only pub in town offering real cider, as the Bay Horse sadly has changed to kegged stuff. There is a range of real ales, including some brewed in-house. The ciders are local Winscombe, usually brought up from the cellar by the glass, and boxed Old Rosie. The food is good basic pub grub, usually including two vegetarian dishes (but no vegan option). A homity pie goes down very well with some Winscombe cider. The Albert is worth visiting just to see the classic building itself. As well as the main front bar, do look in the lounge at the back, and the garden. There is a bookcase in the back passage.The Albert is firmly on the traditionalist side on the dog issue (and long may it stay so, for my part). Both Albert the resident spaniel and drinkers dogs will often be found in the bar.At quiet times, a visitor might walk in and find no-one in sight. Don't think it's closed and depart. Look round the back or just wait in the bar, and someone will soon appear and serve.

This pub serves real ale and brew some ales themselves. Staff are friendly and accommodating. The Albert is situated just off the main shopping area of Totnes in Bridgetown. Food is good and they hold a variety of theme 'foodie' nights. As well as a adequate standard menu. Good inexpensive roast on Sundays with a choice of two meats. Most of the food is locally sourced and is generally of a good standard. Well worth a visit.

i used to frequent this pub a few years ago when tim and sue rang it. but it has really gone down hill since giles took it over, poor quality beer and un hygenic bar area, the place is dirty and smells of dogs.

so pleased we tried this old fashioned pub one evening. we went on pie and pint night. great value and great atmosphere!

While the Albert Inn is on the opposite side of the river to the shops, it is only a very short walk to a veritable haven for the discerning drinker. The home of the Bridgetown Brewery (ask for a quick tour of the brewery), good beer and food is always on offer. The pub has a friendly, comforting feel to it and, as a bonus, weather permitting, has a secluded beer garden to the rear away from traffic noise.There are plenty of events laid on in the pub, including live music at weekends - and - the pub hosts occasional beer festivals - check the pub website.All in all, well worth a visit.

We had a cracking evening with teenage kids in an unpretentious atmosphere. The Albert provides great pies, although I had the Beef & Ale Pudding (I think) which was wonderful. A good selection of quality ales, made on-site and friendly staff. Add to that a mix of friendly, chatty and, in one case, pleasantly excentic locals and you'll have a good night. If you expect sophisticated white linen, exotic salads and branded water, I would suggest you just give the staff a cheque for a silling amount of money and just go home unhappy. You'll have the same outcome and more fool you. A pub that know what it is and does not pretend otherwise. Loved it.

My wife and I have been occasional visitors to The Albert over many years and have always liked the down-to-earth and friendly atmosphere. We've always thought it was the best "real" pub in Totnes. Guess what? ... we've just moved home and now live next door, so we've been enjoying the great service (nice one Miles and team), good quality and value food (particularly the pie and a pint for £8 on Friday nights) and the company of our new neighbours and the other locals. The on-site brewed beer is first class! Keep up the good work

Well-cooked, very well-priced meal, and staff who went out of their way to be helpful. They took our order in advance, as we were a moderately large group, and service was prompt and considerate. Traditional pub.

Great beer (brewed on site in the microbrewery at the back), great atmosphere and friendly staff. Giles and his team at the Albert are working hard to keep a small independent pub with real character.Food is good - and great value - and the wine and spirits selection is excellent. This isn't a fancy gastro pub though. It's a happy, lively local with a great range of events and a varied clientele. From live music nights and quiz nights to weekend beer festivals, the Albert is a Totnes institution.It's dog friendly, and there is a pub dog (Albert) but it is not a 'muddy boots and dogs everywhere' kind of place. There is an open fire in the back bar and some local clubs meet here sometimes.My wife and I often go on a Wednesday for the quiz, and usually pop in if we have friends in town. Many of them love the opportunity to relax in a friendly local. Come for a drink. We like it.

Smelt strongly of dogs on entering & the pub dog (called Albert) roaming around. we had a meal which was ok-a very good menu choice. The dog was removed whilst several of people were eating but reappeared before we had finished & was pestering for food etc. Interior of pub very old but seats scruffy & looked as though needed a thorough clean.

Freely combine the following ingredients: good craic; well-kept real ale (much of which is brewed on the premises); wine from local vineyards; mind- boggling selection of malt whiskies; knowledgable and friendly landlord; good food; live music; soft-as-a-brush pub dog (called Albert); no big-screen telly blasting premiership football. In short: if there is a heaven, it may well look eerily like The Albert. 'Gert Lush' as they say in these parts.

went on a Tuesday when they do 2 steak meals for £12 really nice meals only downside mustard comes in a jar with no spoon and everybody uses there knife to get it out so you are better off using the sachets

Wanted some pub grub that didn't cost the earth , went an a Friday 'Pie and Pint' night for £8 choice of pies home cooked comes with chips and peas. Lovely job !Very small inside with traditional décor.

Great steaks, curries and home brewed real ale.A real gem, just over the bridge and the High Street!

This pub is in the traditional style - plenty of local customers, own ales, cheerful staff and plenty of seating. They specialise in pie and pint (or a glass) for £8, and that is very good value. Had we stayed longer in the area, we would have gone back.

Nel nostro soggiorno a Totnes siamo venute in questo pub per 2 sere, la prima ad ascoltare un po' di musica, la seconda per cena. L'atmosfera tipica e familiare ci ha permesso di tuffarci nella vita della cittadina, buona anche la cucina. Ma il vero animatore della serata è sempre Albert, il cane dei padroni che gironzola tra i tavoli...

Called at the Albert on a Friday evening to sample the Pie and Pint promotion having been recommended to by Paul and Laura our hosts at the Four seasons Guest House .Super Steak and Ale pies with chips and peas with a pint of Albert Ale that was one of threes beers that are brewed on the premises. At £7it was as delicious as it was good value.Very friendly atmosphere excellent Ales and good Whiskys ( Giles my head hurts!!).Give it a visit when in Totnes.

The Albert is a proper old pub. It brews its own ale and on Friday night you can get a pie and a pint for eight quid. Lovely meat in the steak and ale. A bit over seasoned. basic good quality and sometimes thats all you need.

we stayed at the four season guest house (recommended!!!) and Albert Inn is just by. that was our first time in an English pub. Rim the barman was very friendly, he gave us some ciders to try and even peanuts and something else to try on the house...we felt welcomed and comfortable.

If you are looking for a very English pub it is a place good for you! When I stayed in totnes I went there a lot times, and everytime I found nice and friendly people , lovely atmosphere, very good live music and kindness both the miss and the mister under beer's counter . I have never eaten there ... But the look and the smell of their dish was good !

Looks a bit quirky and not overly appealing externally, but inside has plenty of character, also is rather a Tardis with a cosy locals bar at front which opens up, also another behind and at the rear a garden with pleasing open views over the town and river ideal for meals in the summer when we visited.We had a warm welcome and had no complaints about the quantity and quality of the food we had (steaks) which was also very reasonably priced. There was also a good choice of ales and the Pub has its own micro-brewery.All in all worth a visit and as we did ideal after a stroll along the river to get up an appetite.

We were just walking by and it struck our fancy. Wish we had gone there a few more times. The prices are very reasonable, (considering) and the food is good fare without any fancy-smanchy weird spices that will keep you from traveling... Well worth a visit.

I ate at the Albert because it is close to my apartment and because I know that the food they serve is amazingly good value always.But this was on a different planet. An 8oz rump steak, cooked rare and absolutely delicious. They buy their meat from the butcher opposite and the quality is immediately apparent with the first cut. Nice and pink, juicy and tender to bite. You could easily pay £18 for the exactly the same thing in some of the swept up diners around the South Hams. It was fabulous and a credit to the Chef/Patron/Landlord/Chief Brewer/Chief Bottle washer and Darts expert, Giles.

The Albert Inn is exceptional, and if you're in Totnes you should *definitely* go! It is in the best tradition of English pubs, and is the absolute opposite of the seedy/beery impression of pubs one might get from English towns and cities: wonderful welcoming atmosphere, good & cheap homemade food, quirky sense of humour, and lots of live events making this a great focal point for the community. The food is excellent home-made and you get some really great deals (e.g. pie & pint on Thursdays or two steaks for £10 on Thursdays). There are also plenty of special food events, as well as live music (Wednesdays open mic). The sign outside the pub has a face of Albert Einstein on it, although the name actually comes from the owner's dog (Albert) who is delightfully friendly. Also, in summer there is an outdoor area at the back with views over the town centre and the River Dart. Overall, a *great* experience!

We liked Alfred, the pub's dog. And the food! There must be thousands of English pubs named in honor of Queen Victoria's husband. Refreshingly, this one honors Alfred Einstein. This is a tiny place, but there's something on every evening. For overseas visitors, this is a very good example of a friendly "local".

Lovely traditional pub with its own micro brewery producing a minimum of two house ales and occasionnaly a cask stout. Devon Ciders are always part of the products on offer. The pub does an all day kitchen with a lovely and very reasonably priced menu. Where possible local produce is used and you can sure taste that. No 'in your face' televisons or loud music. Regular live music and a lovely open mic night.The mostly local clientele ranges from 18 to nearly 90 and everybody gets along fineWhen I was there they had their first Beer & Cider Festival. Lovely choice of ales and cidersLovely place worth a visit.

visited both night of our stay in Totnes. We enjoyed their 'pie' night, with good wholesome food. The second night we listened to a couple of very entertaining musicians, unexpected and thoroughly enjoyable Sunday evening

In September 2012 we were staying in Totnes in an excellent guest house. Almost opposite was sited the Albert Inn. On the second eveing we called in to try them out for a simple evening meal.A really excellent country pub atmosphere and surprisingly comprehensive menu.The food when presented was more than up to expectations. And one of our party of four just wanted a sandwich which she was able to order without any question about it being dinnertime.On top of all this the pub posseses its own micro breweery. And very good beer too.So, if visiting Totnes, do try the Albert it's just across the bridge from Totnes town and well worth a visit for drinks or for food.

My husband and I visited The Albert Inn at Totnes Devon for our 1st anniversary and my husbands birthday on the same day. We had the most lovely lunch in the newly painted pub. I had the home made quiche which was to die for and my husband had a gorgeous steak sandwich. I would highly recommend that anyone go for lunch, or for an evening meal. Pies are Giles's speciality on a Friday which have become famous in Totnes.

This pub and Micro Brewery is really specail. It is like stepping back in time.Monday nights is Pie night-- Delicious and Friday night is Curry Night-- Just as goodMake a trip you will not be disappointed

I've known this pub since Tim Langsford took it on in the '90's, I think it was. Actually, I used to drink there under age in the early '60's but can't remember who owned it then! Anyway, Tim fought off all the pub company approaches to acquire the pub which is a terraced kind of place across the bridge from the main town. It seems that the pub is now owned by a small local company with a few outlets so we will treat it as a free house (i.e. NOT owned by a pub company or brewery and tied for ales). That makes it the last remaining free house pub in Totnes which is a travesty (except for Rumour Wine Bar and the Royal Seven Stars Hotel). I have been counting up and think there used to be seven freehold pubs back in the old days but most have closed and gone or are part of Punch or Enterprise Inns. The Albert is a traditional locals' pub and now boasts a micro brewery at the back. Three or four of their own beers on hand-pump all in pristine condition as the bar chappie, also called Tim, kindly gave me a couple of tasters before I plumped for the 4.2 abv. Run by an enthusiastic manager, who also brews I am told, the place is full of characters propping up the back bar relating ditty's of yesteryear and generally entertaining the others who manage to discover this hidden gem. Parking isn't easy in the evenings but Steamer Quay is not far away and is a pleasant stroll although be careful not to fall in on the way back! Long may the place remain unspoiled and slightly higgledy-piggledy! Good basic pub food with homemade pies a speciality although I didn't have time to sample the food on this occasion.

Have been in a few times, excellent atmosphere, a few dogs occasionally, beer is produced in the back of the pub. choice of 3 real ales, bar man / owner is good value, the pie and chips were very tasty, bar billards, darts also available. highly recommended as 50 yards from river, and a real pub "not some plastic lager only bar"

great old time town pub went on a tuesday there was a quiz local folk very friendly, own brew beer very nice. very good food.

Only dropped in for a quick drink but we were amazed - the decor is totally old-world such as used to exist many, many years ago. The only admission to modernity was a gaming machine in an alcove, but it didn't seem to be used a lot. The pub is also a micro-brewery - I was only able to sample one of Mine Host's beers but I will certainly return for more in the near future. Definitely worth a visit!

Found this place whilst traveling through. Giles the manager and head brewer had a pie and pint night which was very busy. We were glad we stayed because the pies were great and the bridgetown beers were really tasty. Well worth a visit on the quiet side of the tones bridge.

only had one meal here but it was truly amazing . visited on a friday night which is there pie & pint night and it was the best pie I have ever tasted ,I had chicken .leek & mushroon and my partner had steak and ale.home made came with chips & peas a real winner ,try it and you wont be disappointed.

This is a real pub without facelifts, pretention, or TV with low ceilings, steak and ale pies and a very friendly welcome. If you walk in and make even a halfhearted effort you'll soon be in conversation with other patrons over a house brewed ale. Pretty close to heaven.
