The Albion is a Georgian pub at 10 Thornhill Road in Barnsbury, known for combining the character of a longstanding Islington local with polished modern dining. Its welcoming rooms and garden make it suitable for a pint, an informal lunch or a meal planned around several courses.
The à la carte menu starts with dishes such as pork and sage Scotch egg, courgette fritti and crisp cod cheeks before moving into seasonal mains. Roasted chicken, whole mackerel, fresh potato gnocchi and harissa roasted cauliflower show a kitchen that gives fish and vegetables as much care as meat.
Charcoal cooking is a particular strength, with dry aged beef and pork served alongside fries and red wine jus. Pub favourites remain present through The Albion burger and battered haddock, while desserts such as sticky toffee pudding and chocolate tart provide familiar endings.
Sunday brings a dedicated roast menu with beef, porchetta, lamb, chicken and a substantial cauliflower option, accompanied by roast potatoes, vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. A considered beer, wine and drinks list keeps The Albion grounded as a pub even when the food takes centre stage.
