Never disappoints! Wholeheartedly recommend trying the whole roasted suckling pig with a group of friends. Even better if you get a spot in the garden during summer.
It's a fantastic traditional pub with a great atmosphere. You can sit and chat to the locals or have privacy with your friends. If you're lucky you might get to meet the resident puppies.
Don't plan to go there on a Sunday evening to do your birthday on the terrace. They'll kick you out when you start singing happy birthday to your friend because they're scared of losing their licence
The pretty walled garden is ideal for an al frescolunch. The Albion is widely noted for its excellent Sunday roasts, and the kitchen in general has won praise from food critics far and wide. Mehr erfahren
Beautiful pub perfect for chilled catch-up with friends. Recommend: jug of mojito & goats cheese, prosciutto and grilled peachsalad. Food (7.5/10), Service (7.5/10), Value (7/10). Mehr erfahren
The garden is great. They were struggling with the cash machines and the bar tap, which both weren't working but the staff was very friendly and did their best.
It's a beautiful place but the service is terrible!They forgot 1order and I had to wait for it so my food got cold. My friend's order came out cold. More than enough people serving but not competent.
For a fantastic party with 9 of your mates, call ahead to order the whole roast suckling pig with all the trimmings. Heaps of tender pork and veg, with fresh pork crackling as garnish!
The Earl of Essex still prevails as the best Sunday Roast in Islington. Had high hopes for The Albion, but it's overpriced and overhyped. Slow service, small portions 5/10. Could do better.
Mediocre food but lovely pub with a big garden just back from Upper Street. Full review on Scoff London: http://scofflondon.com/pubs-bars/the-albion-review-n1/
