The Albion, South Willesborough, Ashford

Busy locals pub on the southeast side of Ashford beyond the former railway works; not much to look at from the street, but well maintained inside. Features three main rooms: the bar area, a small lounge on one side and the pool room / live music area at the back (both located up a couple of steps), all traditionally decorated. No real ale, unfortunately, but at least the keg Theakston Best Bitter (£3.60) offered a less usual alternative (for this part of the world) to the John Smith's.
