Visits Details
21 Jan 2020 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until midnight close. Someone here has started putting "Coming soon" pump clip crowners on again - a most irritating practice as both beers I wanted to try had this stupid note on them.

27 Nov 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until midnight close. Why the low prices for guest ales I asked - 'cos the cellar is full and we need to move some it was the reply. Great stuff.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| By The Horns - Old Smoke | 4.00 | | Some sort of tea infused bitter. New lower strength version of a previous brew |

| Volden - Winter | 5.20 | Not Tried | |
| Sambrook's - Watneys James Watney | 4.40 | Not Tried | Brewing provenance as absent as a runaway parent |

21 Nov 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until midnight close. Astounded to see a new pizzarola has opened here called Edna & Roy which is accessible via a doorway in the main front bar - part of the pub (sort of).
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Prohibition | 4.80 | | Superb and professional brew |
| One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Boom Boom | 4.10 | | Very hazy and very fruity and with quite intense lip bitterness. One half was however enough |
| Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| East London (ELB) - Peacock English Pale Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Volden - Autumn | 4.80 | Not Tried |

Evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saltaire - Triple Choc (was Triple Chocoholic) | 4.80 | | Has lost the "oholic" from its name. Like eating a bar of chocolate- superb |
| Reunion - Talwar | 4.50 | | |
| Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Volden - Autumn | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Hacksaw | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Sambrook's - Watneys James Watney | 4.40 | Not Tried | Garish pumpclip, pity the design effort does not extend to showing true provenance |

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, one of which regularly carries a cider.
We have visited this pub 235 times, seen 516 different beers and tried 279 of them.
