Geronimo Inns – now part of the Young’s stable – owns the Prince Albert, & you’ll soon notice all the hallmarks of the brand: artfully mismatched chairs & tables, comfortable shabby-chic sofas, & a Farrow & Ball-like colour scheme. The look may be uniform, but it works; this is a comfortable place to spend time with friends. You’ll also get a good choice of drinks, either from the fairly priced wine list or the interesting selection of draught beers. Food consists of traditional pub grub, usually done well: the likes of mussels with cider & bacon, salmon with hollandaise or Cumberland sausage & mash. Staff are cheerful & helpful, but on warm days when the pub & garden are packed, cracks can start to appear, both in the service & the kitchen.
