Albert

Large Young's pub on Kingston Hill, built in 1855, and near the hospital - whose staff call it 'Albert ward', it offers breakfasts from 9 to 12 and an NHS staff discount. Formerly a traditional local, the Albert was opened up and redesigned in a modern but comfortable style in 2007, decorated with chandeliers, banquette seating, patterned wallpaper and the like. It has a large main room, a second room to the right, and also a terrace / garden down below. There is also a small amount of outside seating in front of the pub for the more hardy. Guest beers are supplied via Wells & Youngs but can include those from local breweries as well as brewery seasonals.
