Chester Restaurants

Albion Inn

In a world of compromise and fudging how refreshing it is to come across somewhere like the Albion in Park Street, Chester. This is a proper pub where men are men and lager louts are banned. Food is of a similar ilk, so look out for boiled gammon and pea pudding, stuffed roast Cheshire turkey; lambs' liver, bacon and onions in cider gravy; haggis with tatties, and other similar delights.
