The Albion in Craven

My first visit to this pub and what a change from many of Skiptons tourist orintated watering holes a true"local". Excellent choice of cask beers and some quickfire crac with the barman. I'll be in again.

Visited today 31/10/23 for lunch, good pub for real ale, particularly Theakstons. Portions are generous at very good prices, well situated for the high street two minutes away. Excellent value for money and well worth a visit. Hugh, Skipton

I would like to thank Sera and her team for an amazing buffet spread and welcoming service for my family and family friends.

Visited in afternoon. Found it a very cosy and welcoming pub. Informed it was karaoke that evening, so we returned later. Ring side seat for the karaoke. Bar staff and locals extremely friendly and accommodating. Singing was fab. Made special for my partner when Cher (Kate) dedicated a song to him. Fantastic night and a must do again when returning to Skipton. Thanks to all, sending love from Liverpool xxx

Cosy traditional pub that serves lovely home made meals with a nice menu choice. Really lovely food at affordable prices. We will visit again when we are next in Skipton.

Great little pub and super food. Working here for a couple of days, so thought give it a bash. Chose the home made steak pie with chunky chips and peas. Was served piping hot and very tasty. Nice cold lager to wash it down. Good selection of 70-80-90’s music playing in background. Tops visit - will be back 👍😅😎👍

What an amazing find in Skipton. Must admit didn’t know this pub was here and so glad we found it. The outside area is ideal and is such a sun trap. Nice choice of drinks, will definitely be back when we visit skipton again

We were looking for a reasonably-priced lunch on an afternoon out in Skipton and attracted in by the variety on the menu and especially the prices. Compared to other places in town, they looked too good to be true. But the value for money was indeed as indicated, with our scampi and chips and sausage and mash - the latter with a choice of four kinds of mash - certainly top quality fare served in generous portions. To add to the memorable experience, the service was friendly and efficient, and we would have no hesitation in recommending The Albion as well as pledging we'll be back ourselves next time we're in town.

Called in for lunch and a few drinks on a Thursday afternoon, nice atmosphere quite busy with locals and tourists, great pub, lovely staff and the food was really good all at a very reasonable price. Looking forward to going back in the summer and making use of the lovely beer garden.

Lovely, cosy little pub. Really good food at great prices. Nice friendly staff. We had a cold sandwich and a hot baguette and both were very tasty.

Really nice staff made us feel comfortable and welcome. Busy day but got a small table for drinks and lunch. Good standard pub food, served quickly even though it was busy. Friendly atmosphere and comfortable seats, the type you could sit all afternoon/night in and not want to move.

We only get to visit occasionally but it never fails to impress. Exactly how a pub should be. Friendly and welcoming Landlady and staff, a good selection of well-kept beers, the food is always delicious and great value for money. Unquestionably one of the best pubs in Skipton.

Had a quick drink here on the 16th, lovely traditional friendly pub very good staff. Very reasonable price drinks. No hesitation in recommending this pub.

We went to The Albion 2 nights on the run. One night was kareoke night and seemed to attract a much younger crowd. The other night was just a regular night in. Good service, friendly staff and a decent selection of drinks.

We was last here 15 years ago but only had beer 🍺 we ate lunch shepherds pie and steak and ale pie to finish treacle sponge everything was cooked to order came piping hot all the staff where friendly and warming only wish the Albion was my local sadly we live 30 miles away good selection of dishes traditional food thank you well worth a visit

THE BEST choices of gin ever! Staff are always pleasant, clean and a lovely beer garden round the back! Highly recommend.

We often visit Skipton, and we thought we would try this little pub for some lunch.Very friendly staff and a nice cosy pub. We both had a very tasty meal and i was pleased to see they did smaller portions as an option which i had as im overfaced with a plateful i cant eat. For the 2 of us it was under £20 with 2 drinks also.We shall go again when we are in Skipton. Well done The Albion!

First time visit but not the last ... Called in for a quick drink, liked it so much that will visit next time when visiting Skipton town.

Proper pub, not franchise, family run and the best steak and ale pie in memory. Who spends 8hrs cooking anything these days?... Great with kids, good beer selection and would love to come by with mates for the music nights. Nothing too much trouble and really comfortable atmosphere. A lovely pub for anyone but the looks of it.

We visited this lovely welcoming pub for some lunch and the home made food was lovely! Fresh local sourced produce! The steak pie with home made chips was lovely! Very reasonably priced, food portions and amazing quality! Friendly staff and a lovely clean environment! The staff were attentive, professional and friendly

Visited for Sunday lunch . I had the roast, my friend the steak pie which she really enjoyed. Sponge and custard for afters. Not gastro quality but good tasty meals with generous portions. Perfect for a rainy afternoonI was on wine rather than beer which is a shame as it looked to have the best choice of (proper) bitter in any pub I've been in recently ...Music not too loud in the back room. Excellent serviceThank you for a nice afternoon

Called in yesterday for lunch (11/10/2019) with a friend visiting from Leeds who is a real ale fan. Good selection of beers and food and the place was spotless. He had the steak and ale pie which he pronounced was the best he'd had in any pub in the country. I went for the mini chicken melt off the light bite menu as I don't have a big appetite and prefer a smaller plate of food - absolutely delicious! Cannot fault the pub, food or the price we paid. Will certainly visit again.

A nice friendly pub, excellent food and service thank you very much. Ps we enjoyed the musical chairs, private joke.

Very good, clean and cosy bar serving well kept drinks and low cost food. Polite, friendly and efficient staff. Very popular with the locals. A real pub with real customers. Nice atmosphere.

Found the Albion on the second day of a three day visit to Skipton and loved it.

we have visited this pub a few times now for drinks and meals.There has been 8 in the group. The menu has some good choices ranging from light bites - starters- mains and desserts. The favourite is the steak and ale pie. This comes in its own dish with a lovely puff pastry top. Another favourite is the liver and onions with mash potoatoes. The staff are friendly and polite and there is a good choice of beers.

The Albion is a well-kept pub. It's traditional and cosy, with a simple layout, and it also has some stylistic touches, shown in the care over fixtures and fitting. The bar is traditional but also clean and fresh. It was a Saturday, so there was a lively atmosphere going. They sell a good range of beers.

We visited the Albion for lunch on both days of our stay in Skipton. What a brilliant find. No frills, typical back street pub but what great home cooked food, the chips were the best ever!!! The menu is basic lunch time food, very reasonably priced, of excellent quality and well cooked. Portion size is more than ample and is cooked to order. Would highly recommend.

Great drinking pub and the best quiz night in Skipton. Haven't tried the food but I'm sure it does well.

Very popular with locals and is also sought out by regular visitors to Skipton. A traditional town pub with mixed clientele and a good friendly atmosphere.

but the food was great! simple food sourced locally and cooked properly. forget that the decor might look a little tired. the staff and customers were friendly and the chips were fantastic. go off the main street and give this place a try.

On our not infrequent trips to Skipton my wife and I always make a point of going here for lunch. Proper pub, excellent beer, super freshly cooked food, welcoming relaxed atmosphere, great music and friendly helpful staff. What I call a proper "boozer". It takes me back forty years and yet there's nothing old fashioned about it. Keep it up please!!

We came to Skipton for the day, with family visiting from Essex. We were looking for somewhere to get a drink and a sandwich and luckily came across the Albion. It was very full and we got one of the two remaining tables. It had a great atmosphere and the service and food first class, the portions were huge and great value. The staff were very friendly, all the time and even on leaving they wished us a good day, not a common thing in pubs, so 5 stars just for the staff alone. Unfortunately, we had got home before my mother realised she had lost her gloves, so I phoned the pub on the off chance she had left them there, which she had. The landlady, Sarah, phoned me back and posted the gloves back to us, as we do not have a car to make the journey back. I cannot thank her or praise her enough for her kindness in doing so. We will be back to the Albion, any time that we go to Skipton again and will recommend it to any friends that are going there.

Called in here as our usual cafe was full up we had a look at the menu while having a drink and decide to order food I had corned beef hash this came in a big Yorkshire pudding with fresh vegetables and was very tasty my hubby had Albion special this was chicken breast with bacon and cheese on top and a mountain of home made chips he said it was delicious it must of been as I didn’t get offered a taste ! All the staff were very friendly and there was a nice atmosphere will def call in again when next in skipton

Well presented and cosy place, friendly staff, good selection of draught ales. Great smoking area outside

Busy Sunday in Skipton, a cosy little bolt hole is the Albion. Good basic tasty filling food at wallet loving prices. Good selection of beers and wines. This is a cracking pub with a nice friendly atmosphere, well worth seeking out.

I was in Skipton with my husband for the Christmas market and came across the Albion. We decided to go in for lunch and although it was busy another couple were kind enough to let us share their table. It's a nice cosy pub and there was a real friendly atmosphere. My husband was served our drinks fairly quickly and told by the friendly lady behind the bar that there was a slight wait for the food as it was all cooked fresh to order. I had steak and ale pie with chips and peas and my husband had the scampi. The wait was probably 20 minutes to half an hour but we didn't mind as we were sitting chatting to the other people at the table. When the food did arrive it was well cooked, piping hot and nicely presented. We would certainly return if ever we were in Skipton again.

First impression a clean cosy pub went to the bar to order drinks and food for two people small ham egg and chips and chilli and chips + a slice of bread and butter all together it came to £17 something after a lot of faffing about the young lady taking my order advised me "That'll be £28 " when I pointed out it was not that amount she argued the point that she was right before eventually admitting she had made a mistake. Okay no probs we all make mistakes another staff member came and asked if everything was okay at the bar I said it was sorted now.

On a day trip to Skipton we got caught in the rain so dived into the nearest pub the Albion it's a lovely place nice beer the menu looked good so we had roast of the day and that's what let it down the meal came floating in a moat of gravy , cheap chicken breast soggy Yorkshire pudding

Not a huge menu but good food. Also offers outdoor seating, only downside is the time it takes for the food to come to your table.

I've been a regular at the Albion for several years. The owners are great and really know how to keep beer. I've never eaten there, but everyone I've spoken to who has eaten there said the food is good and great value. Will continue being a regular there as there's no better bar in Skipton!!

This is a really nice bar - well decorated. Always a friendly welcome - owners are lovely They do games nights and karaoke too

Called in on Saturday 14th July to watch the World Cup match and enjoy a drink. Stood by the bar waiting to be served when a lady who had been sat looking at the menu walked to the bar and stood by me.... Unfortunately the young barmaid went straight to the lady wit the menu in hand....not a good impression but thankfully the other bar lady stepped in within a minute or 2 and happily took our drinks order...1 drink was enough as there is no shortage of drinking places in Skipton

Had a meal and drink here. The beer garden is small but ample. More umbrellas needed in hot weather as they only had two in use. Small wooden shed like seats outside which were like sitting in a sauna but would be good at any other time rather than a heatwave!! Food was fine but waited ages, the couple with us got their meal ages before us even though we ordered before them! Prices average, good location. I personally find the inside of the pub dark and old fashioned but my partner loves the atmosphere. Will visit again.

Reserved a table for my mother in laws 70th birthday celebrations for lunch on Friday 25th May. It’s her favourite place to eat as the traditional environment and relaxed atmosphere are reminders of a traditional pub.

Visited today with my mum for a day trip. The 3 girls behind the bar totally ignored us upon first standing at the bar as their conversation appeared more important. I order the drinks and was given change without a thank you for the bar maid she just shoved change in my hand. All the girls where continuously messing with their hairs and looking at each others phone. The food was lovely but it was tarnished by the poor service at the bar.

Booked the Albion this lunch time for my works leaving do and it was great. Fab food (Especially the Crumble and Custard) Wide menu choice from light bites to main meals and good choice of Vegitarian options. Everyone was more than happy with their meals and the staff just great, nothing too much for them and very helpful.

We took our friends from Norwich into Skipton this Easter Bank Holiday

friendly staff, but not enough staff on. very long wait for food even for a sandwich, and only a few people In

Came here last Wednesday for the first time with my mother (90), sister and husband looking for a light lunch and a drink. We were greeted and made very welcome as soon as we walked in. We went to the bar to order drinks, one of the pumps was off, but I tried the guest bitter and it was good. Good selection of soft drinks. Two of our party had bottled cider, which they enjoyed.

A great friendly pub just off the High Street serving good beer and other drinks. There is a brilliant quiz night on a Wednesday. Very definitely one of the best pubs in Skipton. The staff are exceptionally pleasant and friendly. Worth more than five stars!

We have been to Skipton on our canal boat three times this year staying in total 21 days. We have tried all the pubs in Skipton (except the Wetherspoons as we are not fans) and this is our favourite. It's tucked away and is nothing too flash. It's clean, warm and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and already they remember our drinks order as we walk through the door. The Theakstons best is a great pint and when we have eaten there it has been fine, nothing pretentious, just simple, honest food.

Long, long wait (25 minutes) for all we ordered was soup of the day and a bread roll. We were not told about the long wait. Soup was "thin", but I suppose in was raining outside........... We felt we could have done better

Don't mind going into a pub with 14 friends all paying good money, but when you get crap service then avoid this destination

Been here a few times now for lunch and a few beers and never been disappointed. Home cooked food is delicious, decent portion size, staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. Lovely quaint little pub and nice to relax in after a hard day's shopping on market day..

Frozen veg and roast spuds , Yorkshire pud frozen , mash are powdered , worst Sunday roast ever, how the hell do they pull it off , food and hygiene that's how , no chef training here . Vile ,

Nice little pub near the market. Very reasonably priced. 6.50 for main courses and good selection of beers. Food was nothing special but as we went for the vegetarian options they may be better if you are a non vegetarian

We were on a shopping trip in Skipton and stopped into The Albion. Homemade Leek and Potato Soup followed by Corned Beef Hash in a Plate sized Yorkshire Pudding. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious, tasty and hot.

Christmas market day 4th December, we dropped in here and it was packed, standing room only. We managed too stand near the TVs too have a quick drink but it was too busy too relax so we drank up and left.

The Albion is a lovely pub. Landlady Sarah has built up a good loyal clientele who appreciate the nice beer and comfortable surroundings. Has a real local feel to it . Worth seeking it out if you are in Skipton.

Nice clean and tidy pub Staff were very friendly We didnt eat but the menu looked good value Beer was good

Not a bad little pub, staff were friendly but waited 35 minutes for food on an non busy day when the food eventually came it was only just warm, portion sizes were slightly out of proportion. The child's meal was the same, if not larger than the large meals but overall food was to a moderate standard. Probably won't be returning for food just drinks

Although this smart, unassuming pub is just off the High Street it has the cosy feel of a local pub rather than a town centre boozer. Service was very friendly and the beer was good

A traditional English Pub with the decor original and not spoilt by modernisation. Stopped for lunch, the staff very helpful, efficient and friendly with the surroundings kept very clean. Good sized portions, reasonable prices and cooked very well, an enjoyable lunch.

Nice pub - very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had a light/small meal which was excellent. (sausage & mash) very reasonably priced. I would certainly go in the pub again and eat in there again - worth a visit

In Skipton on a coach day trip and usually go to the Chinese for my lunch but it was closed so had to find somewhere else to have lunch, found this lovely pub in a back street off the High Street and wasn't disappointed. Had a light meal, sausage, egg and chips and really enjoyed it at £4.75. Staff were lovely and made me welcome. Would definitely recommend this pub if you want good service at very reasonable prices.

I only had a drink but thought it was a lovely clean pub with a nice atmosphere. Only had a drink but thought the food smelled and looked nice reasonable prices. I would call in here again

A good pub with a good selection of ales. Staff and locals very friendly. Had 2 nights in skipton and popped in here both nights. Decent music playing but not too loud that you couldnt have a conversation. Didn't eat here so no idea of food prices. will definitely visit again on another trip.

went to skipton with hubby yesterday and went for a light bight what a lovely pub this turned out to be hubby had sausages (2) egg and chips I had prawn sandwiches with plenty of salad and coleslaw good portions for light bites lovely and clean including the loos friendly staff will certainly be going again as skipton is a very interesting place to visit.

stopped off in Skipton yesterday on the way home from David Urquhart travel trip to emmerdale and had a really lovely lunch.excellent and very friendly service too

Eaten here several times. Good quality homemade food, from sandwiches to hot meals. Range is restricted to, presumably, ensure the quality. Specials put on regularly. Child friendly. Dog friendly, mainly in the beer garden.

We have visited the pub a few times now and have always found it to be friendly. Dogs are allowed and there's a nice little beer garden too.

Been here a few times now when visiting Skipton well cooked food and plenty of it. Chips are fresh and not frozen and and there is quality in all the food on offer. Excellent value for money service time is good not having to down several drinks before your meal hits the table piping hot. Staff are friendly a must visit place not overly priced like many of the eateries in Skipton. A little Gem
