Little gem in our lovely town. Food is beautiful- steaks to die for! Thumbs up from the whole table. Only negative would be the children (aged approx 8) serving! Started to be quite charming however felt uncomfortable when they were bringing food and drinks to tables…taking orders and settling bills. However Will definitely recommend and return

Party of 8 for my wife's Birthday. The starters were great, the staff were really friendly, great atmosphere. But that's where the good stuff ends. We all had versions of the Sunday lunch. The beef was over cooked. The Roast lamb...wasn't roast lamb, it was a lamb steak, and burnt. The roast potatoes were frozen potatoes out a packet and were powdery, no taste. My Yorkshire pudding in the middle was stone cold...I'd say chilled. The doggy bag was full. Then the deserts, out of a choice of 6, they had run out of 2, 1 being the sticky toffe pudding which most of us wanted. Eventually managed to settle the bill, asked several times, and then went to Weatherspoons for our desert and coffee. Sorry to say we were very disappointed, maybe they had a busy weekend.

Popped in here whilst waiting for a train on 11th September 2024 at lunchtime for a drink - service was a little slow as it looked like there was only one lady serving - but she was friendly and efficient - drinks were good and food being served looked good - very classy looking place - would definitely recommend

We were visiting the area and wanted somewhere for a quick lunch. The Albert came up with good reviews. Was surprised to find it in the middle of a residential street on the outskirts of town but we popped in and they had a nice table for us. Lovely furnishings and welcoming service. We ordered roast Sunday lunch, very good portion size and tasty. Excellent value. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I’ve visited Albert’s previously and not really had a problem, but tonight we had a meal for my daughters birthday and the food was disgusting. In fact we feel quite nauseous at the moment. The cheese garlic pizza bread starter was swimming in grease. The sirloin was meant to be medium but was well done tough and chewy but the dogs should be ok with that. The chips and onion rings and peppercorn sauce you get one of each for £12 and the onion rings were sitting in a bed of grease and were just like greasy circles of batter and remained uneaten. Dogs won’t even like them. Such a shame as it’s our go to but not again. I pointed it out to the waitress’s and wasn’t really given a resolve . £92 for a meal for three which was really not nice. Disappointing.

Booked here for Mother's Day with my mum looking forward to this. Experience kept getting worse from the minute we stepped in. Waited 20 mins to be seated, staff seemed unhappy in general and place appeared to be understaffed. Didn't notice anything on the website to state it was a set menu. Went to double check in case we just missed it and the website redirects to their Google page so was unable to check. It seemed multiple people were unaware of this too with many asking for the regular menu. Service wasn't great. We were offered drinks fairly quickly but waited 50 mins to even be asked what we wanted to order, 5 options on the menu and two of which they'd run out of so we paid for drinks and left. Table next to us were there before us and received their drinks 10 mins after us. Atmosphere was very strange, didn't seem like people were happy at all. Table behind us also left without having food. Seemed pricey for a very limited menu. The menu itself had many spelling errors (we counted 12 and I'm dyslexic! 😂) one of which being "conelliopn" which apparently was cannelloni. The whole experience has put us off and we won't be visiting again!

Unfortunately the food wasn't the best, and it feels like a slow decline in quality. Not sure if the chef has changed, or the ingredients, but there is a difference. It's a shame as this was the Sunday Dinner go to!

Incredibly loud, the restaurant owners need to address noise issues. We sat at table near entrance, door constantly opening, very cold. 3 large groups sat just before us, we waited 20mins for a drink then over an hour for food which we sent back as food was cold.It was replaced quickly, serving staff very apologetic. Table of 4 sitting behind us walked out. Portion size not great , 2 tiny lamb chops for £21, very small side of veg. Poor value for money. Won't be going again.

If I could rate this less than 1/5 stars I would. I visited this restaurant around December 2023 previously with friends,and the service was slow but the food was great so we thought we would give it another go for our friends birthday in March 2024. The March 2024 visit is what I am basing this review off. As expected the service was slow, we had to ask twice to be served for drinks. Then once we had our drinks we had our drinks we had to ask again to be served for food. We were met with the response “we will have to check if the kitchen is ready to take another food order first”. Strange but ok, they then took our order about 10 minutes later. Starters no problem, slow to receive but good food. Mains took a long time to come out but when they eventually did a lot was wrong. I ordered a starter size of a risotto and my friend ordered a main size of the risotto but without tomatoes. When this arrived we had the same size portion even though we were paying different prices and hers had tomatoes in. She asked for them to be removed and they returned with a small sized portion of risotto. We explained I had ordered the smaller size risotto and she ordered the larger sizes but without tomatoes. They quickly rectified the issue and my friend had a main size risotto and I kept the meal I was given. The next issue arose when my friend, who is pescatarian, was eating her seafood tagliatelle. As she got to the bottom of the dish she found chorizo sausage in her dish. She therefore couldn’t eat anymore and felt quite upset that she could have eaten meat and not realised previously when enjoying the dish. Another issue was with the steak ordered. It was asked to be cooked medium rare but looked like it was still mooing on the plate. This member of our party did not complain as he couldn’t be bothered to ask again for help after he’s dish arrived much later than everyone else’s. When the waitress came to collect our plates she said she will not be able to refund the seafood tagliatelle or the steak as it was mostly eaten (absolutely fine) but we requested to speak to a manager. She tried for 10-15 minutes to try and call a manager but was unable to get hold of him. This was met with the response “he might be with his children”. Ok, but who is in charge of the restaurant when he is busy? What if there is an emergency in the restaurant and he’s is required to be present. This is not very good for the staff. The waitress was apologetic, we explained this is not your fault but poor management and organisation from above you. We paid the bill and left. We sat down at our table 19:30pm we did not leave until 22:30pm. 3 hours due to a delay in service ultimately, 45 minute wait to be asked if we would like to order drinks. Overall, management have a lot to answer for. Service is poor it is understaffed and not even that busy. It’s a shame because the food is nice but it is not worth the shambles of trying to get served, wait for food and then for it to be completely wrong and not the correct dietary requirements.

I'm coeliac and after reading some positive reviews that people had eaten gluten free here we thought we would give it a try. Unfortunately it seems to have changed hands. I was given the menu which didn't show any GF options. When I asked what was GF I was told to read the description, if it has bread it has gluten in. Obviously fellow coeliacs will know this is a big no no. When I probed further another member of staff did say they will let the kitchen know and they will make sure it's GF and they fry chips separately. I just wasn't filled with confidence and didn't want to end up seriously poorly so we have the food a miss. It's a lovely place inside though, right by the train station for a quick drink before you go out which is handy. Unfortunately I can't comment on how the food is. But just warning coeliacs to avoid :)

An update. Our latest visit (a family Christmas meal) had a little rough edges for the first time. On the plus side: charming waitresses and good quality food. Otherwise: no scallops, monkfish or salmon, an hours wait between starters and mains, a noisy group of young men, no potatoes with the lamb chops, luke warm vegetables, had to search for a waitress to take our dessert order and suddenly feels quite expensive. Shame. Still our favourite place? Maybe not!

The menu choice was good, you could order from the main menu or have a Sunday roast, we opted for the roast. It looked absolutely delicious when it arrived, but I soon realised it was cooked with a lot of rosemary, not just in the gravy, but also on the potatoes and with the pork. I am not a picky eater, but I struggle with strong flavoured herbs. I scraped off the rosemary I could, but the pork had a lot of rosemary cooked in it and spoilt it for me. On the plus side, my friend had the roast chicken and she said it was delicious. The vegetables were delicious and the staff friendly. If you don't like rosemary, you're probably best to eat off the other menu.

Right up until the end my experience with this restaurant was amazing, the food was nice, waiter/chef was very kind, and the overall atmosphere was hugely cozy and welcoming. But while I don't normally post negative reviews of restaurants, I feel like I need to provide this warning. Right as we (me and my mates) were eating our starters a man across the floor from our table yelled out about finding live maggots in his salad, and upon seeing his plate when the waiter/chef came and checked, he was not lying or exaggerating at all. Everyone in the restaurant immediately left at that point. Those of us who hadn't paid were allowed to leave without paying and refunds were given to those who had paid, the seemingly only staff member on shift was very apologetic also. It's a shame because they were clearly understaffed (hence the waiter and chef being the same man) and the atmosphere was truly very nice, but it goes without saying that someone finding live maggots in their salad is disgusting and unacceptable. Whilst it's possible this was a one off occurance, I won't be taking that chance if I'm in town again, and I can't really in good consience recommend this place to anyone because of that. I sincerely hope this was just a slip up and whatever caused this was immediately dealt with, but unless there's any definitive proof this has been sorted by the time you read this review, I'd avoid this restaurant.

New menu and significantly increased prices. I don’t mind paying more but the quality of food needs to match the price tag and it certainly did not. The service was fine - but very slow. We waited over an hour to receive the food we ordered and it was luke warm. I ordered the sea food risotto which was cold round the edges but my biggest grievance was the quality of the cooking and the ingredients. The three prawns were nice but the risotto was over cooked and “mushy” and the calamari was so tough I could not bite through it. Safe to the majority of my meal was left. Another diner in my group ordered the monkfish. It was clearly not monkfish and was the cheap whitefish mush. The side of seasonable vegetables comprised of one floret of broccoli and cauliflower, three carrots and a handful of green beans. Again, they were over cooked and melted in your mouth (not in a good way) but due to being over cooked. Not only this but they were sitting in a bowl of cold water residue. Once we finished our meals we sat with our dirty plates in-front of us for at least 45 minutes before they were taken away. We split the bill equally and each applied a tip when paying by card. We were thanked and we left. On crossing the road we heard a screaming “OOOIIIIIIIII” coming out of the restaurant which was proceeded by our waitress running across the road waving a receipt at us. She ran up to us (with a crowd of onlooking to the shouting and running) and informed us that we have not fully paid our bill and that there was an amount outstanding. We informed her this was incorrect as we paid cc10% over the total of our bill to account for the tip. She thrusted the receipt in our hands and we had to politely inform her this was not our receipt as we had not had dessert and therefore this was another tables receipt. She apologised and scurried off with her tail between her legs. This was embarrassing and the cherry on the top for why we will not return to this restaurant. Over priced poor quality food and the concluding baseless and misconceived accusation meant a bad experience. Thankfully the company I dined with was good quality, unlike everything else about this experience.

On route to Bristol from the north i was looking for somewhere nice to eat lunch with my husband that was off the motorway and accessible as I'm a wheelchair user. Using the Google accessibility symbol I saw that The Albert was accessible but all the photos showed doors with steps and no mention of accessibility in reviews or on their website. After a little move around on street maps I could just see another entrance that looked accessible so we gave it a shot. Just 15 mins from the motorway we arrived to find a lovely place with full accessibility from entrance with push button opening to accessible toilets and fully accessible interior. Such a shame it's accessibility isn't mentioned online as they should be proud of it! The food was amazing and the staff friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our visit. The only negative I had was that the emergency pull cord in the toilet is very short. It should reach to just 10cm off the ground so it is reachable if someone is in the floor. All in all, a beautiful, accessible, clean place to eat with a lovely menu and nice atmosphere.

We have visited the Albert about 5 times last year and always had a reasonable experience with average value for money. Last night was our anniversary so decided on the Albert based on our past experiences. What a mistake this was. The place isn’t cheap but for some reason everything has been increased by nearly 10%. I ordered a steak medium rare that came out medium well. For nearly £30 I did expect better. After our starters the mains came out within 2 minutes so felt very rushed. We paid for 2 starters 2 mains and 2 drinks £110. These prices are what you would pay for something of a decent standard but not what we,experienced. We could not recommend this place based on our experience and won’t be using the Albert again. Be warned.

The meal wasn't hot, just Luke warm, there was an amount of water from the vegetables on the plate, been before one good meal, one poor meal this was the decider, won't be returning, rather expensive for what you get.

Visited with a friend for dinner. The food and service were excellent. I had a chicken dish and my friend had liver, both came with really delicious sauces. Excellent value for money and we will definitely visit again

Went for Sunday lunch with the family, the place is really nice and the food was superb, only problem was we was waiting an hour for the food only to realise they’d forgotten to make it, but they did offer everyone a free drink to make up for it. The staff was friendly but very forgetful with drinks / food etc. heard a lot about it before going 👍🏼 I’ll definitely go back again.

I contacted this pub via a phone call on a Sunday to book due to a recommendation from a friend, and received a very friendly service. We arrived and were seated after standing at the bar for about 5 minutes waiting to be served a drink. The pub was very busy, but I was amazed with the decor which was completely different from the old Albert I used to drink in years ago. Food choice was amazing. We had garlic bread and cheese to start, my other half said it was to greasy, but it tasted lovely. We then had the lamb Sunday lunch. Value for money was excellent and we will deffo be back. Thankyou

Absolutely beautiful dinner and sweet. Best food I've eaten in Tamworth. All the staff was very polite, quick and 100% to the chef. Food was excellent

Spoken to like trash when we arrived, told to sit in the corner whilst the owners kids screamed on the table next to me. At least 20 other tables I could have been offered. The bar person had a knack of using the right words but making them sound rude and that was quite off putting. To top it, visiting a loo with no loo roll available always scores a big thumbs down. Enough staff working to put a check in to prevent that. Shame, as I've read on here some good reviews and the place seems on the face of it well ran and clean... hope I'm just unlucky on my visit.

I have not visited the Albert for years when it was a pub serving pub food. I was amazed to find that it has been totally renovated and is now a very attractive restaurant. In fact, I could not recall the old layout. It is an extremely pleasant establishment with an excellent aura. The staff are generally cheerful and welcoming. I entered directly from the car park through a side door and therefore .issued the front entrance welcome. I found a table for four and, since there were relatively few diners, seated myself. I asked the passing head waitress for a menu and she reseated me at a table for two citing the need to place customer groups at appropriate tables which I accepted gladly. I opted for a large glass of Pino Grigio which was nicely chilled and pleasant to drink. I ordered olives with "home made" torn bread and seared scallops. I did not order the former until the menu arrived and, as I feared, both arrived together. The bread was hot and tasty but it was certainly not home made (I used to make my own artisan bread). Unfortunately I had not realised the nature of pan seared scallops and the rawness of their inner flesh was not to my taste. They did, however, come topped with a most awful cold, greasy slice of streaky bacon. The main course was Penne Arabatia with a Greek salad. The restaurant.t so not do a simple side salad. The penne was Luke warm and virtually tasteless whilst the salad was far too large and contained far too much sliced bell pepper. Whilst that seems to be fine I have never experienced the salad with the additional ingredient. I fear that the Feta and the olives were the catering version of the supermarket products. A creme brulle was good. This was an extremely disappointing experience and very poor value for money. It seems to me that the restaurant serves pretentious food at pretentious prices.

Comfy seating areas, pleasant atmosphere with a warm welcome. The food menu isn't large but offers a variety of different dishes. Portion sizes are just right, and the prices are decent to match. Visited around lunchtime, and it was pretty chill, but slowly began to pick up as time went on..

Went with big party (which obviously is not great for the restaurant) but we had pre ordered our food so they knew exactly what they were preparing weeks in advance. I had the scallops starter which was overcooked and the sauce was bland but that...

To be honest, it was a bit of a let down. I was lead to believe it was exceptional. It was only above average. Had the chicken liver pate, its a good job it was pate as there was no room on the tiny tiny slices of toast for a whole liver. I have never seen such tiny slices in my life. Mains was supposed to be a rack of lamb. Looked more like a pork chop that had been atracked with a hatchet. The lamb was over cooked & i wasnt asked how i wanted it cooked. God alone knows what it was coated in. The spinach looked like it had drowned. The only good point was the prices were very reasonable bordering on cheap. Around £64 for 2 courses for 2 & 1 drink each. The Albert needs to up its game to become the best in town again. Tamworth needs a decent restaurant.

My husband took me here to celebrate my birthday and we had a great time. Special mention for the stunning interior, general cleanliness, attention to detail and the extra touches such as the red carpet and staff who are helpfully on hand to take photos (bearing a RING LIGHT) for guests. The customer service is 10/10, staff are polite and very hospitable and accommodating. Loved the food presentation and it was a lovely dining experience. Definitely a restaurant we plan to return to in the near future!
