The Albion in North Somerset

Went here for the first time with friends and can’t fault it! I booked for 15 adults & 13 kids with 5 days notice. They gave us their function room and asked us to preorder via email which we were happy to do. We asked for the kids meals to come out first for 5:30 and then adults. They did just that and called all meals out by name of who’d ordered it. They were great at coming in the function room and clearing plates and glasses regularly etc… all the food orders were right! The staff were really nice! Majority of us were very happy with our food - a few of the meals felt like they’d scrimped on the chips a bit but overall very happy and will definitely go again!

Had an impromptu Saturday lunch at the Albion. Ciabatta was very good and excellent value for money. The service was great too. Recommended.

Lovely an clean, staff are friendly and caring, good customer service, value for money, good choice of vegetarian food an other food as well, will be going again

Nice pub just a bit loud as football match was on the TV

Absolutely brilliant staff couldn't do enough 👏 food superb 👌 lovely place can't wait to come back was on a trip from Dublin and this was a great old fashioned spot. Good pool 🎱 table too!!!

Thank you for a lovely evening again tonight at the Albion. We were all mad to feel welcome including our family dog.

Fish was overcooked. Nice quiet atmosphere

Quick lunch visit, so good to see a new menu in place, and the new lunch menu is really good! The food was really tasty and the service was fab. Will be back again soon!

Came here in the early evening with my wife and three kids. Felt very much like a locals pub which isn't a problem just felt a little out of sorts with the kids. Food was good. Came out in decent time and all looked and felt hot. Only downside is didnt seem like much cheese on the cheesy garlic bread.

Good menu at reasonable prices. Nice food, friendly staff.

Too many times it feels like the pub is dying. No personalloty and base service. The day I came here, the welcome was amazing. Friendly staff who treat you like a person and not a number. The I witnessed the manager on duty, I think his name is Keiren? treat a customer with needs with such compassion and humour that made we grateful for a local and gave me hope Gen Z aren’t all bad. He handled a situation better than I ever could and more importantly, made everyone in that party feel comfortable to stay. Top team and top pub

Food was nice, service disappointing. Staff could be a bit more customer orientated and smile 🤔

Nice comfortable pub atmosphere. Friendly efficient staff. Great range of drinks and a good menu.Always an enjoyable visit.

What a great pub, lunch was very tasty and good value. Love that it’s dog friendly and sells treat bags! Good value for money and quick service

Really enjoyed lunch at the Albion, dog friendly and good value.

Quite a long wait for food I had sirloin steak that was as tough as old boots with a jacket potato which couldn't have been any smaller and my wife also had the sirloin which was the same as mine I managed to eat mine but the wife just had the chips we were offered a dessert which we accepted but not a replacement for the steak

A fantastic end of term social event at The Albion. Sarah and her team have been a fantastic support to my language business in recent years allowing me to hold weekly Spanish classes there. We were a large group (18 people in total!) We ordered the food in advance and it was delicious. The service was excellent and a memorable night was had by all! Can't thank you enough, muchas gracias :)

Great food and great service.. tyvm phoebe and kieron

Sunday dinner. Had better, small portions. Beef quite fatty, veg on the hard side. Quick service, friendly staff. Toilets not brill.

Nice traditional pub with good food 👌

Lovely pub. The food was served hot and in a timely manner. Lasagne was very tasty. We visited at lunchtime and didn't have to wait very long for our meals to come out and we were on a group of 10. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Just a little bit quieter than one would have expected for a Friday lunchtime.

Lovely pub with a good atmosphere and very friendly staff excellent food and service.

I had a really lovely meal and felt very welcomed and great service by Kieran

Lovely pub lovely food and lovely staff especially Kieran

I like the Albion, it's a straightforward Greene King pub with a nice size car park with a couple of EV chargers. The food is the usual GK menu but always well prepared and the staff are friendly and seem well trained. Sitting outside on a nicked day, you hardly notice the passing traffic.

great food at reasonable prices friendly staff

Our first visit to a local pub after moving to UK for a year now. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks 😁 Great service and really good food.

The pub itself is reasonably priced, nicely laid out, clean, and welcoming. The food was a mix of reviews. We found that on a whole the food was well cooked and delicious, however both people who had burgers said they were under par. All other food was found to be really nice. Service from what looked to be the manager was fantastic throughout, and he allowed us to put a dessert order in just after kitchen close time! This was GREATLY APPRECIATE. HOWEVER, the other younger bar / waiter was quite rude and abrupt with us every time he spoke. We found he placed plates and drinks down carelessly and even splashed my friends' drink once with the quickness. I do feel that this is down too being in experience, but I hope he will learn over time to be a little more friendly when dealing with customers. Overall a good experience, both with food, drink and atmosphere.

Very nice food, great staff, lovely customer interaction

Love this pub! great food and the staff always provide amazing customer service :)

The food is decent,it can take up to 50 minutes to be served. The kitchen team is not prepared for high traffic.

To be honest I had low expectations of this chain pub but I have to say I was delighted with all aspects of my visit. I had the gammon and it was tender and beautifully cooked together with a perfect egg and grilled pineapple - a real treat. The staff was friendly and helpful too so a really good experience all round. It pleases me enormously to make such a positive report

Waiting time was horrendous half hour kids had starters then hour wait . Went to see why chef walked out could have sent bar staff to tell us. Thus couldn't be helped and the person we were with said it was unusual. Lamb shanks were lovely. Hubby's steak was really back worse he'd had he never complained as usual. We spent alot. No offer of free desert or money off at another time. When we got it service was good.

Lovely place, good food and very reasonable 😊

Enjoyed a lovely meal here and the service was great, staff was attentive and nothing seemed too much trouble. There are multiple TV screens for when the football match is on or other sports, there is a pool table and a few gambler machines. There is a great atmosphere and parking as well, just remember to log your vehicle on the way in

Nice pub to eat in, lots and lots of tables but didn't feel too busy. Nice food, quite small portions. Not enough parking.

Wonderful meal services friendly

Amazing meal cooked perfectly Great homily atmosphere Very welcoming pretty waitresses Highly recommended 👌

We can’t rate this place enough. Loads of space for us (and the kids). Lots of choice on the menu and all very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back again 😀

Went there with friends to see the six nations amazing food 😋 and excellent service would definitely go back again

We had a meal here last weekend with my two small children. The food was great, my two picky children even loved it! Fantastic service and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you, looking forward to coming back soon.

Lovely lunch at The Albion again. The staff were very helpful and the food very good. Thank you to everyone, we will be back.

Please please turn off the TV In Every room. And French football as well. Why. One room only would be plenty. Even left it on for the adverts. Cheers.

Family Birthday party get together. Very friendly staff. Good selection of drinks. Sunday lunch menu aswell as normal food. We had the Sunday roast a good plateful. Nice and hot. Would definitely come back. Thank you 👍👍

Excellent food. Would visit again.

Smashing pub, very polite staff,

Nice pub. Food is nice and affordable. Great to watch sport. Good selection of beers on tap. Cracking

It's not unusual to have to punch in a car reg nowadays in pub car parks that are subjected to commuter abuse but in my humble opinion pubs with monitored parking like this does mean a certain kind of clientèle are likely to be present. The pub advertises itself as a sports venue and it certainly does what it says on the tin - we watched one family hooverer up a lunch with their post-football youngsters in tow only for them to be replaced by another muddy boot clad group of teens who couldn't take their eyes off the angry Midland Derby steaming live into the lounge. Whilst the hooligans on the pitch did battle with the secretly secreted Wolves fans the adults in the room blinked unresponsively into their social media feeds. I am a sports fan (I'm ticketed up for Wales v Scotland in Cardiff tomorrow) and as you can read from my reviews I love a good pub but just occasionally whilst both are present they can fail to gel. Our lunch was good, the service better actually (I liked the friendly barman's banter and his diamond attitude) so whilst there's nowt wrong with the Albion I don't know why I feel it felt like I was sailing in a rudderless ship. Perhaps it just lacked a bit of warmth 🤔 or perhaps I've just forgotten how the clammer of dragging your nippers out on cold Sunday morning for the whole of your thirties saps the soul...

We went for lunch on Thursday, it was very easy to find and to park in the large car park. Don’t forget to log your car at the bar. Staff were friendly, prices were reasonable. It did get quite full by around 1pm. Food was fairly standard pub fare, freshly cooked, with a lunch special menu also available. Good if you want a lighter bite, or a more substantial meal. We will come here again. Thank you.

Sunday lunch was amazing. Reserved a table but needed a different one due to elderly relative and they were happy for us to change. All staff were polite and friendly...

Watched some premiership football

After coming here and having a bad Xmas meal with a work party a few years ago I was reluctant to go back when a friend suggested meeting her for lunch, however one bad meal shouldn't be why I didn't go. We arrived and ordered drinks and food and sat waiting, first blue light discount wouldn't work and the girl was not helpful in the slightest so we ended up giving up with it. I asked for an item receipt and the girl didn't know how to do this, everything just carried on going wrong. The wrong meal came out then we asked to have fries with our hunters chicken little did we know she put the 2 portions of fries as an extra, the smallest bowl of fries came, paying this as a side is an absolute waste of money, it wouldn't even feed a small child. 2 people got their meals and we had to wait another 10 mins for the other 2 meals. Lastly we thought about playing pool but it absolutely stunk of what I can only describe as cats litter tray. To top it all off my wife that had the chicken burger was fine and suddenly about an hour or 2 after eating it had her head down the toilet throwing up and spent the rest of the day and night in bed! Safe to say you are better off going around the corner to spoons, bigger portions and better value for money.

Small cosy pub in Portishead. Plenty of car parking space, dog friendly and staff on site were friendly and helpful ( Kieran and Emma) we ordered starters, sides and mains that came out quick and piping hot. Good music and comfy chairs.

Very impressed with the food & service, although extremely busy, credit to the manager. Highly recommended.

Really good food and exceptional service, very friendly

Food was tasty, hot and reasonably priced...definitely return soon 👍

Lovely early family dinner. Plenty of choices on the menu so everyone was happy and kid friendly too. The staff were also lovely and attentive, looking after us really well. We will definitely be back.

Service excellent. Food very good but the portion of cheesecake was very small

Great Sunday lunch with enough other menu items to keep the whole family happy. Abbot ale perfectly kept. Friendly attentive team and great value!

Popped in for a meal with the family and i must say the service was excellent! The bar staff were exceptionally helpful and the food was delicious. Will definitely be back again soon.

Lovely food, great service! Would recommend

Lovely meal and great staff. We'll be back.

Came back a year after our first visit, another fantastic visit! Service was amazing, staff were so helpful, friendly and welcoming from the moment we entered. We had a burger and fish & chips, our 1 year loved sharing the fish with me. The manager (Sarah I think she was called) came to check if we needed anything extra for our little one which was a nice touch we didn't expect. Wish we lived closer to have more regular visits. Highly recommend!

Revisitef after a long absence had been renovated to a good standard.Food was pretty average as was the menu.Drinks very reasonable.Staff very friendly.

We had problems getting to the venue for our booked table and were forced to ring them to explain that we would be late, The member of staff we spoke too was very helpful and said to get there as soon as we could. When we arrived (1 hour late) we said we were sorry and we were told that it was no problem and relax and enjoy our meal. We placed our orders and the food arrived shortly after piping hot and delicious. The venue was warm and comfortable, and the staff were efficient. After a good meal my only complaint was they had no Apple and blackberry crumble.

Yet another fabulous visit the the Albion, chose a few little starters to share, the food was fantastic as always, and lovely staff, would highly recommend.

Lovely visit today with a cracking roast dinner. Atmosphere was great and all the family loved it

Went on a quiet day. Did not wait long for our food so ok. We have had days when food took 45 minutes from order but If you want freshly cooked food you have to make allowances.

Amazing pint of IPA very great price for under £3 will be bringing the club down here soon

Lovely Sunday pub lunch, I highly recommend the Ale pie, mash and greens, it was gorgeous and my wife said the beef roast was also great. Anyone who goes to watch Portishead Town Women's team must go there it's so nice 👍👍👍

Went to the albion for a quick bite to eat. We drove in and followed the instructions, registering our car at the bar on arrival. Ordered the meal and everything was very good. Unfortunately, a month later I received a parking fine from euro parking for £60 or £100 if not paid within 28 days. We rang the albion and explained the situation. The fine has been removed, we were informed by the staff that if we return in the future they can only remove the fine twice. Sadly, we will not be returning in the future as this is not the kind of place I want to frequent if its going to involve a fine.

Great pub food, great friendly staff, enjoyed it. Would recommend for families on a budget and groups for a get together.

A lovely Sunday roast at a very reasonable price, with a great selection of drinks. The atmosphere in the pub was great and we managed to watch some sport. All boxes ticked 👌

Great meal and very friendly staff. Priced very sensible. Well worth a visit to this pub. Had a great time

Had another amazing visit to the Albion. The new menu has some lovely new additions and the staff were super helpful and attentive.

Great place really friendly and nice atmosphere We asked about the amazing new menu, it was really great 👍

Great pub with awesome staff and lovely family feel, nice menu and good food. Will definitely visit again

Wonderful staff, lovely venue and great, good value food. Got such a warm welcome and a cheery farewell. Definitely coming back

The food, as always, was exceptional. Great selection and quality ingredients. Well cooked and tasty. Portion sizes average but quality trumps quantity. Considering the venue was fairly quiet, the service on this occasion was slow. Sure this was a one-off as previously it had been good. Will see when we go back next time.

Very nice pub and is overall very nice. Only critique is that the bar staff serve all the locals before getting to people that have been waiting for ages. Locals come up to bar and get served instantly over people that have been waiting for 10 + mins

Lovely crew; thank you so much Phoebe as well as Sam, Ryan, Emma, and Kee for my tasty meal and your hard work on a bank holiday! Long live the pubs🍻

Good standard of food for the money. Friendly and welcoming staff

Ordered lasagne with garlic bread and chips. Served on a hot plate, very tasty meal, Pleasant helpful staff. Lovely coffee perfectly served.

Popped into the Albion for lunch, the staff were very friendly and polite and the food was fantastic, I can highly recommend the mango & lime chicken tacos......

There were 10 of us all my family from all over uk was good polite service lush food ! Pleasantly surprised that I could use my blue light card

Excellent food, cooked beautifully , great choice. Very reasonably priced. Good choice of beers and sky tv. Thanks for your help and service Phoebe!!

Hier kann man mit der ganzen Familie Pubfood genießen.

Standard green king menu. Food has never been great, not above spoons level. On the nachos they used deep fired pita bread? Instead of normal nachos, was not a fan at all. Felt very greasy and after 3 minuets were all soft.

Popped up for dinner last week and was so impressed! Sarah could not have been more helpful and the food was all spot on, all 3 courses were perfect. we had a fantastic visit and will be back again soon. The place has a very...

Brilliant service and food as always. Very good value for money. Thank you The Albion. We'll be back soon.

What a find.. popped in here for impromptu lunch and enjoyed spending a few hours in the garden with our 4 year old. The food was excellent and the staff friendly and accommodating. We will be back…

Good food, great value for money and excellent staff

Good food and very helpful people

Very nice place. Food was very nice,drinks was a little bit dear but used my green king season ticket app which gave me 10%off. Staff were very friendly and helpful which always helps,certainly go back.

Lovely place with good food for a good price 😊👍 I highly recommend 🥰

Booked table on line for Sunday lunch 3pm. On arriving for a pre dinner drink just happened to hear barman say we only have 1 turkey potion left I quickly asked for it to be saved for my wife who wanted turkey. We had a drink then I went to order and I asked for the turkey and I would like beef only to be told sorry no beef left only lamb shank and the veggie option. I didn't want either of them was really dissapointed to have no turkey or beef available at 3pm is not acceptable when we had booked for the Sunday lunch specifically.
