| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - Plum Porter | 4.90 | | Not quite right |
| Siren Craft - Suspended in Blanc | 4.00 | | Don't know what to make of these scrumpy looking murk beers from Siren. This one with Hallertau Blanc, Simcoe & Citra |

Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Broken Dream Breakfast Stout | 6.50 | | Have had better |
| Bad Seed - Chain Rule | 4.60 | | An American Pale, a style being stretched in its meaning! Certainly so in this case |
| Moor - So'Hop | 4.10 | Not Tried | Taken off as fobbing so much it was unservable |
| Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Volden - Autumn | 4.80 | Not Tried |

Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blackjack - Royal Flush | 5.00 | | Enjoyed this more than yesterday. I think the overriding nose and taste are of caramel from the malt. Maybe my palate was cleaner today as an intense bitterness came over, that did not yesterday!! |
| Wild Beer Co. - Bibble | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Volden - Pale (formerly Pale Ale) was 4.6% | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Suspended in Chinook | 4.00 | | Could have been brewed by Mr McMurk at the McMurk Brewery. Pea souper |
| Blackjack - Royal Flush | 5.00 | | I could not pick up precisely what gave the beer its flavour, which was an unusual one to me |
| Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | Not Tried |
23 Sep 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until midnight close. Even more jam packed than usual - freshers' weekend perhaps. Depleted real ale range left for me.

The pub is found in New Cross, Greater London, SE14 6TJ.
Located in New Cross Road it could be in Deptford or New Cross. Almost universally described as the “best pub in the area” the Royal Albert has massively improved since its 2007 reversion to its proper name, after a time as the Paradise Bar, and reversion to proper pub values. Has a pubby space at the front and more of a dining room feel towards the rear, where there is an open view kitchen. Very handy for Deptford Bridge DLR or New Cross stations. Sports 8 handpumps. An Antic pub before being taken over by Portobello. Re-opened 21st November 2022 after a closure for refurbishment.
We have visited this pub 238 times, seen 521 different beers and tried 281 of them.
