The Albert Tavern in Croydon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Always friendly service in this community local, and a decent pint of Old Speckled Hen.

Lovely location. I always enjoy a drink here when visiting family in West London.

So happy to see the Albert get back to how it should be!!!! The team have created an brilliant and welcoming atmosphere. The new menu has everything you could want from your local. The management team have really listened to their customers and are willing to make changes based on suggestions. Karaoke Bingo is awesome and is great fun! Well done everyone!!!!

Thank you to dwyne and there team for allowing me to host my birthday party..what amazing service we had and all there help ...and really nice people ...

Nice and very teisty food, lovely staff good atmosphere. We come back surely...Pets are welcomed

An outdoor patio area is smart and functional, covered overhead on 1 section and 1 garden heater also

Staff very polite food dreadful but did get refund as too bad to eat

Best pub in the area by far.. amazing staff, great food nd atmosphere 👌

Really impressed. My partner and I came in as we are moving into the area and of course the sellers weren’t gone yet and still loading the moving van. We came in desperate for a drink and something to eat as this would be our new local and now we had time to kill. The prices are really reasonable, the staff helpful and I was pressed how clean the place is!! It’s a sweet highlight to what is probably going to be a long day! Looking forward to the free coffee on Mondays :)

Have found the managers and all staff to be courteous and friendly with all customers regardless of the demeanour of the customer. A family friendly pub with a tasty looking new menu. (Not reviewed as I haven’t tried it yet though my wife did and she loved it). An excellent local and we should all support our local as all too often in this area, they can quickly close and be gone forever becoming flats.

We had a fab night here as always, the new menu is great with plenty of choice! Staff are so friendly especially Dwayne, Jo and Tracy who have provided a variety of board games to keep the little ones entertained. Even dogs get free treats with their water!! Definitely would recommend

The Albert tavern was very welcoming the staff were lovely and the new menu was delicious. A gem of a pub

The staff was rude to me and they was swearing at me and then there was a massive fight!!!!. I suggested you don’t go here or this might happen to you the staff names was Joe and Charlie. unpleasant welcoming !!!!

🚇 Norwood Junction 🍺 £5.30 Heineken A Friendly South Norwood Local. The Albert Tavern is located in a quiet side street in South Norwood close to South Norwood Country Park. The nearest station is Norwood Junction, it’s about a ten minute walk to get here. The Albert Tavern was originally built in 1867. During WWII, German Bombers destroyed the pub, it was eventually rebuilt in the 1960's with an estate pub look and feel. This is a traditionally decorated one bar pub that has a modern feel to it. The servery is long and stretches down the length of the bar. There is plenty of seating with a mixture of poser tables, booths and banquettes around sturdy tables. Adorning the walls are a collection of prints and photos of the area in times gone by. This pub has a pool table, dartboard, a few large screens and not forgetting a proper pub carpet. At the rear of the pub is a beer garden for the warmer months. The beer line up was solid and offers a selection of mainstream beers plus two cask ales. I decided on a Heineken, my pint hit the spot and pleasingly cost just over a fiver. There is a traditional pub grub food menu available, Fish & Chips is reasonably priced at £11.99. I visited on an overcast Saturday afternoon in January. The pub was fairly busy with a local crowd of all ages. The atmosphere was chilled and relaxed with half the punters watching the Chelsea v Fulham game and the other half dotted around the pub enjoying a catch up with friends and family. I had a quick chat with the Guv’nor who was clearly passionate about his pub. The service was excellent, the lady who served me was friendly and courteous. This pub hosts Karaoke and Live music nights and also shows all live sports including Premier league. From the outside the @alberttavernse25 may look a bit unappealing but step inside and you’ll find a cosy local pub with a friendly atmosphere. The beer selection is solid and the food is favourably priced. There’s plenty to keep you entertained and you’ll be well looked after. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here, never judge a book by its cover. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 13.01.24

We went to this lovely pub..was made to feel so welcomed the staff & management we spoke to were so lovely..even the pot man who was collecting the plates & glasses was a lovely fella..would highly recommend this place..food was lovely

I had a great time at the Albert it was my first time there really great atmosphere staff there were really friendly I will definitely be going back highly recommend this pub thanks guys

Decent pub excellent food and great bar staff

Great ,friendly pub. Very flexible and accommodating. Good range of food, beers and cider.

Never have any real ales on tap - good Guinness though

Very friendly local pub. Very good food beyond what I expected. Well worth a visit.

Came in on a quiet night, and the barmaid (Jo) was awesome and friendly and had great banter with me and my friend.

Had a fabulous night with great music, decent priced drinks and food and fantastic staff.

Cosy family ran pub. Range of daily activities to get you socialising. Plus a beer garden!

Great place especially for a family

Sunday lunch. Didn't come upto expectations. Offers of on veg and you only get one piece of cauliflower. It was my local pub. I'll not be using it again. I've been going for over 20 years

Fantastic pub, suitable for all ages. Very friendly staff, the food is good and reasonably priced. They have outside seating out the front and back. They have very popular karaoke nights and multiple other events too.They also welcome dogs, have a pool table and darts and show sports on TV. I would highly recommend a visit.

Excellent, what an experience. I went in for a quiet drink and food. I was greeted with a friendly smile and a bubbley atmosphere. I had a couple of bottles beers and burgers and chips 🍟 I really love playing pool and the nice bar manager mentioned that start up pool club, which means I'll definitely go bad for that. Overall experience was great!!

Lovely little pub hidden in a residential area. Had a delicious Christmas dinner in a friendly atmosphere. Staff were excellent on a busy day .Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant place to have food and drinks in South Norwood.

I visited here this evening after work. I had a bacon cheeseburger with fries and onion rings, it was amazing, who knew this little Jem was right here in south Norwood. The landlord, who introduced himself as Dwayne was without doubt one of the most welcoming hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. This is a real family pub, mum Tracy is the chef, I will be returning here very often, I thought service like this was a thing of the past!!! I wish I could give 10 stars ⭐️

Found the Albert Tavern to be very welcoming and a lovely local pub with nice people and atmosphere. First time visiting for us and we stayed for some food which was lovely. The hunters chicken was well cooked and in a lovely BBQ sauce, which there was plenty off. The staff were kind and friendly and dressed wonderful for the Halloween party that was happening while we were there. Family friendly, and the kids loved the chicken strips and wings with lovely seasoned fries. Will definitely be heading back to try more on the menu, and hopefully enjoy future events now we know about this lovely little pub.

They served my frozen chicken. They were absolutely lovely but maybe just a pints pub .

Nice clean pub, friendly staff and reasonable prices

29/9/2023 is the date of this review. My previous review celebrated the re-opening of the Albert after Covid. It is now under new management and has been so for a few months now. The toilets are clean as is the whole pub, the ale is well managed and the food is prepared nicely and well cooked. Dwaine, the new manager, wants to improve and succeed and has started by installing a pool table and two pizza ovens. The whole staff are friendly and efficient and above all, welcoming. I am confident that as the pub's reputation grows the footfall will also increase and this is to benefit of everyone on both sides of the bar. Heartily recommended.

Great family pub. Prices are affordable and a friendly environment to be in

Karaoke was brilliant, the manager is great, pubs lovely

Nice little pub .... service good Pity not the best selection of beers..... Not a great fan of Madri 🥺😔🥴

I Love it. Now with pool table.looking for to come back

Warm welcome , good portions and plenty of gravy for Sunday roast . Lovely modern refurbishment . We will be back .

Very friendly staff and very delicious drinks. You should come and visit this place sometime.

While staying with friends in London we popped into this lovely local while passing through. Me and my son enjoyed a delicious meal, with friendly service and watch the Grand Prix. Lovely pub, well kept, loads of screens for sports, which they’ll even split for you ~ as some of us watched the Grand Prix and some watched the cricket 🙌🏻😊Lovely courtyard which we enjoyed when the sun poked its head out for a moment and we even enjoyed a game of giant Jenga together! Great, welcoming and friendly atmosphere, with friendly staff and owners. Highly recommend if you live in the area or work nearby.

Recently changed management so still waiting to assess to impact on the pub.excellent karaoke and disco nights. Need to get the ale back on the draught pumps though. Added post yesterday evenings visit. Despite being assured the draught ale would be back on - it wasn't! I don't particularly want to drink inferior tasting and (now thanks to more government duty) more expensive bottled beers. If you want my custom regularly you need to sort the draught ales out.

Had a lovely meal with family 😊 Great food, very good service. Staff lovely friendly and helpful. Great family atmosphere 😁

The pub has new management and food was lovely and staff very friendly

Best night ever, karaoke was brilliant

Tammy and the team are dedicated and amazing. They know the community well and have your drinks ready as you enter with a smile. They lay on great entertainment and the place is always busy. It is friendly welcoming pub with history and character, not too many of those around. On the the 27th of June, now after just a year Greene King want to close it - disgusting disappointed and no doubt a manoeuvre to get their way to sell it and put a block of flats in it’s place. Profit for them - nothing for the community

Nice local pub, reopened after several years closed and owing to community pressure for this place, rather than the demolition of and replacement with an identikit block of flats. Service was good, dog-friendly venue with multiple screens for sports, large, spacious, light and comfortable, with outside seating. Good selection of beverages, food available was okay but hardly stunning. Do try the various shot options (3 for £5, for example, others are available) for fun. Support your local pubs or risk their permanent loss. This is a community facility, with activities on various evenings including quizzes and live music.

The singers the food the atmosphere what more can I say, it was jus Awesome...

Got to love the Albert, still a proper old pub, live music, great beers and lovely staff

Bless up Tammy's pub...Great place to b with friends...family....kids party... Chef is gr8...Gary Bar girl...Jolly will take care of you Drinks prices are gr8...shot deals are good...

Food use to be better, not so much now maybe cause they have a new manager and almost staff are new :\

Great pub, cheap drinks, lovely staff and always have events during the week!

Lovely welcome, great food and drink. Didn’t get to stay long but enjoyed a quality Sunday roast.

The service is amazing here, all staff are friendly and talkative. The environment is extremely welcoming, drinks are well priced and the food is stunning 🤩

Fast service, helpful staff, clean nice decor comfortable seating and tables, sport on TV screens.

Visited the Albert Tavern this evening to celebrate Burns Night, the interior was bedecked in bunting featuring Scottish flags and Rabbie Burns banners. The haggis supper was superb!!! The staff couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a good evening and were both welcoming and courteous. They even provided us with some takeaway haggis to enjoy tomorrow. Can’t recommend the Albert Tavern highly enough and will definitely be back.

Brilliant pub, great atmosphere. Superb karaoke on Sunday afternoons, well supported, but PLEASE get the draught ale back on! Bottles are OK but not as good as draught!

Tammy and the crew are amazing. My son loves being there and they love my son. A very comfortable vibe and the drinks are a good price and good quality!! And there is something for everyone!

My local opened again after 3 years. Lovely staff. Beautiful food. Great atmosphere. Tammy is sure doing a great job.

Great food from Jose the chef, bar staff friendly and polite, nice atmosphere, lits going on for a backstreet pub

El personal es amable y acogedor.El pub tiene un ambiente acogedor y cálido.En ocasiones, algunos elementos del menú no están disponibles, pero esto se debe a las entregas de Greene King, no al pub en sí.Tienen una gran cantidad de programas televisivos que muestran lo último en deportes y hay una variedad de eventos que se llevan a cabo semanalmente, como la noche de póquer, el pub quiz, el bingo de música (para caridad) y un sorteo de carne (para caridad). Luego también tienen eventos mensuales que incluyen noches de karaoke, DJ's y fiestas de verano, e incluso una próxima noche de casino.Tienen un jardín de cerveza de tamaño razonable y una zona de asientos delanteros, ideal para el verano.No está lejos de la estación de Norwood Junction, cerca de la parada de tranvía Harrington Road y Portland Road, donde hay autobuses regulares.En general, es un pub muy agradable y de estilo antiguo en el que puede sentirse como en casa. Lo recomiendo altamente .

Overall fantastic pub great food staff and company. Always very welcoming and great atmosphere always showing sports.

Vine aquí hoy con mi amigo. Disfruté de la envoltura de Yorkie, aunque las patatas fritas podrían haber sido mejores, mi amigo comió el bistec y la ensalada y lo pidió medio raro. Sin embargo, el bistec no era de buena calidad, era masticable y en realidad estaba bien hecho en lugar de medio raro. Los precios son buenos, así que no podría quejarme, sin embargo, definitivamente no pediría un bistec o papas fritas. Probaremos el asado la próxima vez.

Hadn't been to The Albert Tavern for many years and was very pleasantly surprised when we went recently. Very friendly staff, good service, and modern refurb makes this local pub well worth a visit. Will be returning soon.

Recently had a party at the Albert Tavern, the staff were excllent from the moment we walked in to the time we left, nothing but praise for them,made our evening even better as we had no need to worry about anything.

Have been to this pub 3 times in recent weeks when visiting friends (we live in Somerset). It has been refurbished to a very high standard, and the staff are extremely friendly and the service is brilliant. The last visit was for a birthday bash, and the food that was provided for the buffet was superb, a mixture of hot and cold, and the staff were so helpful all evening. Would definitely recommend !!

Went here for my dads 60th party! The staff couldn’t do anymore to accommodate the evening, they did such a fantastic job. Food and atmosphere were both brilliant! Will definitely be back!

Had our joint 60th birthday party at the Albert Tavern, superb buffet, great atmosphere and the staff were outstanding. The evening was everything we wanted it to be.

Popped in after seeing “Hamilton” and a little shopping. Tom and Scott were great! Tom was off shift but one would not know it, he was very helpful in introducing a couple of American’s to this wonderful place. Great atmosphere ...excellent beer and delicious fish and chips!

Went to pub for Karaoke , had a brilliant night, good atmosphere, friendly, polite staff, lovely food, very entertaining Good DJ and some fab singers, Pub very hospitable, clean and tidy

Came here for a Christmas family meal. Great food and great service. Will definitely recommend and come back.

Family meal. Very nice,good food, nice people. Would definitely come again also nice decorations. a+

Visité esta humilde casa de riego durante el día para disfrutar de algunos refuerzos locales para ser recibidos por la encantadora Shannon, que hizo un trabajo increíble en el servicio al cliente sirviendo una pinta. Disfruté mucho de mi tiempo allí con un ambiente agradable y un personal excelente.

Mi demonio y yo pensamos visitarnos aquí el domingo 09. 12. 2018, como vimos, había una pequeña feria de Navidad y la encantadora Jodie cantaba canciones de Navidad. A su llegada, el lugar se veía encantador y acogedor, que siempre es un buen comienzo y al entrar era aún más acogedor y acogedor con un gran espíritu navideño. !

Best pub in the area with super tasty food, amazing friendly and helpful staff, and great value food. 100/10 rated.

Esta es una joya escondida del sur de Norwood. Ubicado lejos de la calle principal, encontrará un lugar animado y entretenido con comida de calidad muy asequible, servida por un personal alegre y amable. Parece que siempre hay una mesa libre o dos donde puedes pasar la noche comiendo, bebiendo, socializando o simplemente viendo los muchos televisores grandes que hay por el lugar.

Came in with my family for a meal as I usually do, great food, lovely staff and atmosphere, another great day and night in the Albert as I know I’ll continue to have there.

Food, drink, staff all excellent. Nice friendly place to spend a few hours in the garden or inside the recently refurbed bar.

El personal era amable y acogedor, y hacer el esfuerzo de llegar a conocerlo.

Llevé a mi familia a cenar. El pub fue recomendado por un amigo después de que ella y su marido comimos allí. Las comidas llegó rápidamente y el personal era muy servicial cuando mi hija se molestó en guisantes en su plato. Buen ambiente. Comidas a un precio razonable y el personal encantador. Así que de haber venido.

Ambiente encantador de lugareños y personal y buena comida. También amplia selección de gin! ! Muy concurrida en los días de partido el palacio, así que puede que quieras que tenga en cuenta!

My partner and I came across this pub by accident. Very friendly atmosphere and great staff. Will definitely be going back.

Lovely pub, always a great vibe. Food was delicious, had the beef yorkie wrap and my partner had Cajun pasta which was also great. Very friendly staff, would recommend and revisit!

Another great night in The Albert, friendly staff, great food, good value for money, xmas decorations starting to go up, starting to look christmasy. Well done the team of The Albert

I visited this establishment for the first time with my family a few weeks ago. I found the staff very...

Had a great night in The Albert, food very good, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, clean and tidy..thank you

Tuve una gran noche en el Albert, había buen ambiente, la comida y los precios eran muy buenos, el personal es muy amable y educado, me gusta la idea de que los clientes menores de 21 años que cuidan id, Ryan y su equipo están...

Un poco de comida en un salto después del trabajo, la reforma parece genial, la comida era perfecta nada para estos chicos, el pub es una visita obligada si estás en la zona

Esta fue nuestra visita a la calle a este 1 pub y sin duda no será la última. la comida fabulosa, increíble personal muy cortés y servicial no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros. Gran ambiente. No puedo esperar a volver

Llegamos ayer tuvimos una comida de noche, buen servicio, buena comida, buen ambiente, reforma parece genial, conocí a nuevo gerente Ryan, muy agradable, amable, educado, discreto, sin duda recomiendo el pub. . . volveremos pronto. Gracias Ryan y personal para una noche agradable

Tuvimos una cena maravillosa aquí, la comida es de buena calidad y sabrosa. Mis hijos eran bienvenidos, aunque hacían mucho ruido. Tiene un ambiente encantador y acogedor, y el personal era amable. Lo mejor es el pub está recién renovado y parece fantástico. Sin duda volveré.

He estado viniendo a Albert durante muchos años. Ayer el nuevo gerente me gritó y mi familia sin ningún aviso. Sus habilidades de servicio al cliente son ridículamente mal. . . Solucionar Greene King

Having waited a more than an hour for main dinner ... mid week. The manager rudely approached my 18 year old niece, intimidating her stating if she sipped anymore of her cider he would throw her out of the pub. He didn't approach me as the main adult in the group of 11. It was a family celebration and was totally ruined by this remark. If only he knew the licensing laws he could never have said what he did. This newly refurbished pub is NOT at all family oriented and isn't appropriate for family celebrations . He certainly needs training in good customer service. Would not recommend the food either. Very disrespectful and not very friendly .. such a shame as we have supported this pub for many years. Heather Elliott

No effort was made . A cracker. No cover on the table no christmas music . Not separate from the drinkers . The dirty tables. Stink of urine from the mens toilet. Nice people but not a place to eat anything in let alone christmas dinner. What w waist of money never again .

Came here for a few drinks before the palace/Southampton match. As expected, very busy, but the ones nearer the ground are worse. Got served ok though. Average prices. Have been here before and is much quieter. Popular with locals.

Been there while working in the area, the food was reasonable affordable and taste good to. Service not bad could do with a bit of improvement. Good parking and lovely atmosphere, in a quite neighbourhood too. No issues
