"I've featured my local Big Smoke pub before but on the rare occasion I found The Albion mostly empty, and serving the exceptional A&H London Black from the official glassware, I figured it was time to feature a review. I believe this was the second pub Big Smoke opened, building on the success of The Antelope in Surbiton. It's been here as long as I can remember, and at one stage had a Gin Distillery out the back which I think is now just garden seating (opted not to pap this, but there's a huge garden there with beer festivals held in the summer). Indoors, it's familiar to those who know the chain. Wooden panelling, ample seating, vinyl soundtracked vibe, 10+ ales and ciders, a multitude of keg offerings too including 2 AF options in the form of Lucky Saint and their own AF beer which has gone down well over the past month. You get a mixture of students, weekend shoppers, families and real ale folk in here, it's a nice melting pot of booze enthusiasts and those looking for a pub not surrounded by Vape Shops, a step away from the town centre, outside of the rampant demolition you see taking over Kingston. It's sort of a home away from home, despite only being some 15-20 minutes down the road from me, a chain familiarity but still less polished than those brand new Big Smoke pubs you spot in greater London. With time to kill it can be a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of town, but with Rugby on and one of the few spacious family friendly pubs in the area it can get quite hectic. A nice problem to have for Big Smoke. Food again is similar to the other sites, a sort of BBQ meets pub grub style, with plenty of bits in-between to choose from. See the place pack out for weekends with roasts on, and various offers during the week. The pub dates back to 1845, little known about its history other than it was advertised as a sort of taproom with a view to watch the recreational sports on the green. Once Greene King, now Big Smoke, another one saved from mediocrity."

Excellent menu, broader than the typical pub. Amazing beer and gin selection. The porter I had was delicious a perfect choice in January, if I say so myself.
Joseph
Great selection of beers and ciders behind the bar, some from local brewery's. Mon-Fri half price food. Absolutely delicious food too. The ribs are huge! And burgers are amazing, as well as the fish and chips.

Awesome pub in Kingston, fantastic selection of cider, ale and stout beers, good food and really fine music. The whole staff is very friendly and the barman has explained me a lot about different kind of beers and we have also spoken about music . They also have a garden that is very nice. I surely will visit you again
Nina
Great pub with a lovely atmosphere and staff very welcoming. An amazing range of cask ales and ciders. The food was delicious of which we sampled on both nights of our stay in Kingston. Great background music of which I believe is played off vinyls which didn't overpower people's conversations. Would definitely be returning.

We went here on sunday for a roast. Great place to go dog friendly as well so the pooch came too. Its nice to have found somewhere that serves the roast in the evening as well as lunch time. Could not faullt it. Gravy is to die for. We had the three roast choice, the lamb and the wellington. Great meal all round. (They also have the most amazing ribs)
John
Very good pub about 10 minutes walk from Kingston Station run by the Big Smoke Brew Co. Eight cask beers and five ciders on handpump when we visited. Lots of outdoor seating some of it covered. We had already eaten but the Albion offers classic pub fare including burgers, hot dogs, ribs, fish and chips and pizzas. There are also vegetarian and vegan dishes available.

This place is wonderful, full of character and the staff is super friendly. We came here for a Sunday roast as we were in the area and decided to try the Albion. The roast was to die for, the vegetables and especially the parsnips, were cooked to perfection. The gravy was divine and the Yorkshire pudding was heaven. I had the mushroom Wellington roast, whilst my boyfriend had the pork roast. Simply the best roast we have ever had!
