Not a bad lil bar, we've visited a couple of times, one of the few places you can get inch's cider which is a favourite with us. We've eaten here before and it's good quality food, actually better than I was expecting but not quite the restaurant quality it's priced at. Good selection of drinks, priced similar to The Sunbeam and George Wallis, with the food, the outdoor area and sports on I can't help but think this place would be jam packed if they priced closer to Billy Wright or The Old Still. The outdoor area is really lovely, tucked away as it is the surrounding buildings dampen the traffic noise and the trees add shade and also help give the impression you're not in the middle of town. The plastic wicker chairs are really comfortable the whole area was clean and tidy, a really nice place to relax and sink a couple of cold ones after shopping before heading home.

The Prince Albert is a nice pub. There is a wide range of beers, lagers, and cider. Although there were three hand pumps on the bar, they no longer sell any hand pulled cask conditioned real ale. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, it is a nice cosy pub with a good outside seating area.

Went in here to have food and drink. Had a bottle of blossom hill.. £6.49 in the sunbeam. Shocked to pay £30 a bottle. I was in so much shock didn't question it untill opened bottle and poured it then it hit me. We did question it but yes £30 a bottle. Disgraceful. We didn't eat there

Delicious food and excellent friendly service. Visited just after the Wolves match and so the bar was extremely busy but the staff were friendly and we were served swiftly. We ordered the Albert special mixed meat grill…. It was huge and delicious mixture of different types of Indian style meats and fish. Definitely worth a visit.

Super venue, Indian food and a good bar, with friendly staff. My only ‘complaint’ is with the football screens and overpowering commentary, too loud for a late afternoon chilled out pint and snack. Will definitely revisit on our next Wolvo pub crawl!

Was a mint place to go after a match before catching the train. Since the start of the season though it's come under new management who seem to not have a clue. Stood waiting ages to be served, there's about 5 people stood behind the bar but only 2 actually serving, new staff are rude, just not a good experience. Hope we won't but may have to find a new gaff for post-match drinks. We loved the Prince Albert before so management, please sort it out!

The quiz was really fun with a mix of questions and everyone in the garden seemed to enjoy it, us included. Staff and management are by far some of the friendliest i've met. The pub is inclusive, safe and welcoming. Well done all at The Prince Albert

My twin brother Stephen and I had a great day out in Wolverhampton and the last pub we visited before hopping the Midland Metro back to Birmingham where we were enjoying a five day break was The Prince Albert Pub. This is a wonder looking pub ,set over three floors ,wonderful decor and furnishings including a superb looking serving bar and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside in their vo beer garden. We were here on a Saturday late evening, greeted warmly by a very pleasant member of the staff, we gave our details of name and phone number to assist with the governments track and trace system and then sanitised our hands and ordered a beer each, we chose Birra Moretti beer ,these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling and we just kicked back and took in the great pub we were in. My beer was excellent, this delightful Italian beers is such a light and hoppy lager style beer, hints of caramel and a big hit of hops, very easy to drink and a beer style both myself and my twin brother Stephen are particularly fond of. We both really enjoyed our beers in here and although our visit was only fleeting for a first time visit to here we had a great time. The Prince Albert Pub is easy to locate along Railway Street. Opening hours are ( covid 19 times ). Monday to Sunday, Midday till 10pm. A wonderful pub, if your in the area most definitely well worth a visit.

We had the beef which was cooked to perfection real melt in your mouth and off a joint instead off a naf boil in the bag! It came with all the trimmings including cauliflower cheese! For pudding I had Apple crumble and custard the portions were the perfect size not to small nor big! Honestly if you are around the area and want a Sunday Dinner that beats your boil in the bag beef with smash! Definitely give this place a go! It was lovely

Called in on the off chance with a colleague for a meal on a Wednesday night and very glad I did. The barman/waiter was very friendly and helpful. A good choice of beers and sprits. A reasonable choice of food on the menu and tasty, hich was well presented in a clean environment. The only downside is that I live 2 hours away. Definitely reccommend and will call again if I am again in that part of the country.

Popped in here for a pre theatre drink. Wanted something to eat as well but due to ongoing works outside, no food being served at this time. Fair enough. While having our drink the lad serving us only went out of his way to recommend eating places for us and even looked to finding somewhere and taking trouble to check seating availability! We never asked for this he just did it to help us. Brilliant example of first class customer service and this pub is now privately run so not in a chain. We will definately revisit here when next in area.

I hadn't visited The Prince Albert for a while but my god I was missing out. Me,my mum and step daughter visited there, the choice of drinks were amazing and the cocktails looked fabulous! We decided to have food there I had a fish stack burger with fries which was to die for very tasty! And my mum had the fish and chips which she also said was delicious so not to sure why the below comment has stated it was 'disgusting' because it was far from it so dont listen!, my step daughter had fish fingers,chips and beans which all 3 meals were very well portioned and presented lovely. The bar staff are also very attentive, making our experience very comfortable, overall we had a great time with the best drinks, service, venue and food. Thank you!

We visited after going to a show at the theatre. The food was inedible! I ordered the fish and chips which was disgusting. I couldn't eat it. It was cold and dry. I complained. The staff thought it was funny which was a strange reaction. I would definitely avoid this place. There are lots of other places to eat near the theatre. Go elsewhere and save yourself some money and aggravation.

I'd passed the Prince Albert many times and thought it looked inviting but hadn't bothered going in - boy, was that a mistake. The Prince Albert is wonderful and that's no exaggeration. My mother and I ordered food and it was reasonably priced, well-sized and delicious. The setting is also gorgeous, with trees hanging over the outdoor seating area which is ideal for a meal or a drink outside on a warm day. What really had us smiling though was the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff. Not only were they happy to accommodate allergy requirements, they were happy to chat in general and were just really lovely. Great place, only downside is that there's not much range with the food but given that everything else about the place is ace, you most likely won't be fussed!

This is my review of Compton Care. Out of loving remembrance for my mum I'll be honest and respectful. Compton Care obviously excels at many things in regards to how well it functions, the quality of the building itself, the professionalism of most of the staff, the aesthetic and mostly calm environment, the beautiful architecture and landscaping, but there were some things that bothered me a little and I feel could be improved. Some of the good: • Hot drink facilities • Family can also order meals onsite • There are therapy dogs that visit patients, which is wonderful and interactive Why I removed two stars: • Transparency. The dying process can be complex and distressing, especially if you don't know what's happening or why certain medications are administered. You're not told what the side effects are. You're not told, unless you ask, what the signs of dying are so that you're prepared. I got most of my knowledge from Google and the two nurses who did take time to speak to us family members. My mum was admitted perfectly mentally sound and communicative, but due to her pain had to be on high levels of pain relief, ended up confused and distressed and then had to be sedated to combat that confusion. They call it terminal agitation. • Mixed messaging. One of the nurses refused to give my mum additional pain relief at my request, because she said my mum's knees would be up if she was in pain, but she was heavily sedated. My mum never moved once during her last week. She couldn't have moved her legs. All she could do was twitch her thumb (which she did once), facially wince, or do brief movements of her eyebrows. The same nurse also talked over my mum a few times and appeared to question whether my mum was really in pain, when my mum was still able to communicate. My mum was someone who barely took painkillers when she was healthy. She had Pancreatic Cancer. I can state quite emphatically: she was in pain. I still now (in 2024 - my mum passed away in November 2022 - highly dislike the nurse who added frustration and discomfort to my mum's last days. Her name began with an R. • My mum had a sore on her bum that caused a lot of discomfort for her and I feel could've been treated sooner. • After my mum's death (which I nearly missed by seconds) she had a sore on left ear, which both myself and it seems the staff hadn't noticed, and it must've been painful for her because she winced whenever her head was moved even a little (despite her heavy sedation). • Some staff are friendly and compassionate, but there were a couple whose manner could have been warmer. They would enter my mum's room and not even acknowledge family, let alone speak or introduce themselves to my mum. My mum valued manners and a friendly manner a great deal. She had worked in social care herself and was always kind and compassionate to the people she cared for. Just because someone is dying they don't stop being a person. They still exist. They still need to be acknowledged. • Some of the night staff are a little noisy (banging bins, laughing etc) but thankfully it didn't disturb my mum. Some more good: • The good staff who laugh with you, interact warmly with the patient and explain things to you • Therapy treatments are available for patients and family • You can bring your own pets • Doctors constantly reasses medication and pain relief and will answer direct questions • The food is good (although sometimes my mum asked for certain things and didn't get what she asked for, but this did improve later until she could no longer eat.) One of the catering staff (blonde hair in a ponytail) always went that extra mile and showed my mum so much compassion. • Receptionists are super friendly and welcoming • The Chaplain lady was very kind and compassionate also • The fact family can stay the night with loved ones Overall, Compton Care aided my beloved mum in her last days. It wasn't perfect and some things could be improved. However, my mum went as peacefully as is possible with a heinous disease like Pancreatic Cancer. She fought until her last breath.

Really pleased with this place. First time eating here, and definitely won't be the last. Good food, service, and surroundings. Give it a try. 2 hours free parking across the road on the retail park is handy.

All fresh food, nothing from frozen and decent veg choices and great hot gravy, served by polite, friendly staff. Even the Yorkshires were fresh and tasty. The only thing missing was the king of greens, broccoli 🥦. They even let me take away what I couldn't eat. Will definitely be returning again.
