Sunday at The Albion

January 31, 2010 by Uju Leave a Comment

On a chilly Sunday afternoon, I fancy curling up in front of a log fire at one of our locals, The Albion on Thornhill Road, N1.

This handsome Georgian pub dates back to when Islington was mostly farmland. It still gives off a little
country ambience with its dark wood interior, cosy wicker furniture and spacious garden overhanging with wisteria.

What’s good for parents? Attentive waiters, baby-changing station in the toilets and space for tots to wander. Sometimes we come here just to lounge around and maybe order one of their desserts (they do a wicked sticky toffee pudding).

But it would be a shame to miss out on the full menu of traditional British fare (fried pig’s ears, anyone?) with a gourmet twist.

The Albion serves up a cracking Sunday lunch and attracts foodies from all over town. The kids menu at £6.50 includes organic drink, roast with trimmings and an ice cream scoop.

In the summer, the pub really comes alive with a buzzing crowd of Islington trendies spilling out in the front and chilled-out families watching their toddlers run amok in the back garden.

Here you can relax with a cold beer and savour the smells coming from the barbeque. And with 72 hours notice, you’ll have a whole suckling roast pig to split with up to 10 fellow carnivores.

Check out the web site.
