Really nice staff and great service. We came for Sunday roast that was pretty decent but could be improved with greater variety of veggies. We had shredded white and red cabbage and a couple of roasties. Instead of a monster chicken I would have had some parsnips, carrots, leeks, sprouts etc.

I think this might actually be the best pub in London If it isn't, it's certainly up there It's got everything, great food, great beer, hidden jazz back room, clean toilets, bus stop right outside - there's nothing I don't like about this place Massive shout out to Ceb, Syd and Ella behind the bar

It's our local pub, and we could not be luckier. The staff are friendly and helpful, the background music is nice, and the whole pub has a great vibe. The food is delicious—I highly recommend the burgers! They're the best in the neighborhood.

Tonight’s performance, inspired by the sax player, looking at a forest and setting sun, captured the emotional turmoil of isolation during the pandemic. The forest, usually peaceful, became a backdrop for despair, anger, and longing. The interplay of light and shadow, with the sun looming ominously, mirrored a deep internal conflict between hope and hopelessness. It was a dark, powerful reflection of the longing for freedom and connection, yet tainted by anxiety and uncertainty. The performance immersed me to remember how nature can reflect our raw emotions in times of crisis. Colleen H. Brilliant !!!

Great roast and great service! Came here with family for a Sunday roast and it was a great choice. They only have 3 options but small menus typically means each option is perfect. So was the case. We didn't try the veggie wellington although it looked amazing. Chicken was cooked perfectly and so was beef (a bit on a rare side but it was delicious and tender, good quality cut). I recommend a bloody Mary too. It was one of the best ones out there. The service was lovely and very attentive. Would definitely pop back in, especially with all the gigs and quizzes happening out there!

S.imply E.xceptional B.artender Aka Seb. We stumbled across The Royal Albert by chance on Saturday. Not only did we have the best service ever known to man, I also now know what I’m going to be naming my first born son. Seb just got it. Quicker than you could say , ‘this service is making me horny’ he had organised a tab, served us pints and taken our food order. He helped dry our seats outside, he brought us multicoloured moustaches, water and all the sauces. You know when you meet a guy who’s good at what he does. He knew what we wanted before we did. The speed of this man was biblical. When I next need a doctors appointment I know who I’m calling to organise it. I feel like we have just stumbled across the biggest kept secret in London, and he happens to work in a great pub.

We visited for the Monday quiz - it was the first time we’ve been despite driving/walking past so many times. The quiz was brilliant, well hosted and fun. Not too easy and not too difficult. The pub itself is really warm and welcoming. There were lots of events being advertised which all look well thought through and exciting; if there was a way to sign up for news I definitely would as there’s definitely a lot going on! Drinks were great too - good non-alcoholic choice. Looking forward to returning.

It's a great place but they need to have more open mics with Archie as host. Once a month is too little. Hence why I've given 3 stars instead of 5. At the least, every fortnight, like come on, Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler's brother David and many others played there too. How we gonna discover local talents nowadays if you make the live open mics a rarity? Make it much more than once a month please.

Such a great pub. Went for a roast dinner on Sunday - food was incredible (and plentiful!). The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly and attentive. Decor and atmosphere is really nice. They’re dog friendly too so that was great. We go for a LOT of roast dinners, usually try somewhere different every Sunday, and this is definitely up there for us, top 3! Had a really nice time, will definitely be back and would definitely recommend.

Fantastic staff and drinks. Very friendly. (imho) the Open Mic is so unique with the most ethnically and socially diverse Open Mic I've come across in London. I wish the Open Mic was weekly like other pubs. However unlike other bars / pubs, the Open Mic here represents a unity and harmony of so many different cultures and beliefs that is not seen anywhere else. We deserve more of that... Many thanks.

Lovely pub - bit expensive, but it's worth it for the atmosphere. Friendly staff, great buskers night, really nice vibe, extremely comfy chairs if you get in quick enough, all around nice energy. Didn't eat there on this occasion but from past experience, food nothing to write home about particularly but good if fairly standard selection and enjoyable. Have taken my parents here before as well, so well rounded for that kind of occasion as well as a nice night out. Old Fashioneds are tip top.

With a family reunion booked and people coming from all over we arrived only to be told that the kitchen was closed. Apparently they forgot to call us and tell us..bit late for that by then with people arriving by car, bus and train. Obviously it was a mistake but a shocking one. Be very careful to double check your bookings as they clearly aren’t on the ball. It’ll be our last visit there.

Had dinner at the RA last night (30th July). We were served by the same waiter as too long ago. He was, as usual, on top form: friendly, efficient, just the right amount of attention. We had medium (her) and rare (me) roast beef and it was delicious and nicely presented. There was plenty of it with Yorkshire pudding, caramelised carrot, white and red cabbage, roast potatoes. We now intend to come more often although other New Cross restaurants are closer. We've been missing out! A band was setting up, too late for us on a Sunday, but you could see jazz devotees aplenty waiting for a good performance.

I marked this great place down due to its Sunday roast. They don't do lamb, but steak, or chicken. or vegetarian. But that wasn't the issue. The chicken roast was delicious, but the potatoes were not good. In fact, they were hard. I thought they hadn't been cooked properly. My guests said they were frozen Aunt Bessy. Unfortunately when I spoke with staff the response was somewhat bemusing: "Unfortunately we don't have any more potatoes left." This seemed strange. We were the first people to eat and other customers later arrived and had what appeared to be potatoes on their plate. So mark down and don't return.

What a find! We were going to a gig at the O2, and staying in Deptford for the night, so we wanted a place for a meal and a couple of drinks before going to the concert. Found the Albert through Google, and booked a table for two hours at three in the afternoon. When we got there, the place was locked, but Don (the chef) let us in after hearing our story. He looked after us until John (proprietor) arrived, then prepared the BEST tapas we have had outside Spain. John was the perfect host and insisted on standing us our first round by way of apology for the misunderstanding. This is going to be a regular visit for us when attending the O2. We can highly recommend the staff, food and excellent choice of beers and wines available. Thanks, John and Don, and see you again very soon.
