Cheshire Restaurant Guide

Albion Inn

In a world of compromise, fudging and cosy hugging how refreshing it is to come across somewhere like the Albion. This is a proper pub where men are men and lager louts are banned. Food is of a similar ilk, so look out for steak and kidney pie, bread and butter pudding and many other similar delights.
