Serving modern British food using fresh and seasonal produce in clean and minimalistic décor, the owner's of Albert's Table seem to have hit the right spot by launching a most worthy dining destination in Croydon. Their spacious and bright interior offsets the warm and inviting welcome by the staff who are pleasant and gracious, yet it is the food there which attracts many and could be why the atmosphere is always informal and buzzy.

Elaborate Sunday roasts aside, they have a sumptuous a la carte, where you could begin with a short crust tart of Dorset crab with a rouille dressing followed by roast shoulder of pork with butternut squash, fondant potato, cabbage and sage meat juices. Ending the delicious meal, there's caramelised apple pancake with vanilla ice cream while the wine list offers something for every pocket and taste, including some world renowned bottles at most unexpected prices.
