Royal Albert, New Cross, SE14

Randomness Guide to London - Royal Albert entry

I found the barman in here to be very pleasant and he was apologetic when he informed me that the Guinness had run out and they were still waiting for a delivery. I swerved the premium and standard lagers and plumped for one of the four random ales which was very nice. This place is quite food orientated and there is a dining type area at the rear. The front of the pub is mainly laid out with sofas and there is a table football game located in the centre. I spotted a plasma screen, but this was off and I didn't spot any Sky Sports Signs. There weren't that many people in during my visit, but I did get a student pub feel to the place. This place is ok for a pint or two if passing, but I wouldn't make this my destination pub for an evening.
