Prince Albert

Ahh the old ‘Pots and Pans’ as we used to call it. The Prince Albert really is a good pub. Downstairs is a traditional boozer with a good mix of old regulars and people under the age of 50!
If you want a trendy bar don’t go here. This is for those people who are over 18 and don’t want to get smashed on alcopops and cider. They always seem to have friendly serving staff and a nice selection of beers.
It can get packed at weekends but usually there is room to stand or even find a seat. Good thumbs up.
Upstairs they have an upmarket restaurant. Although the décor is nice and menu is certainly upmarket, their prices aren’t cheap. When we went, several years ago admittedly, a meal for four cost £150ish. Now you might expect to pay this in London, but not Bexleyheath. That may have changed now so please check it out, but it put us off going back again.
Soo Pub — Yeah. Restaurant — Meh!

The Prince Albert is one of Bexleyheath’s better pubs. It is a proper pub with really friendly bar staff and decent regulars. Not once in my visits here have I felt unwelcome or like I have to watch my back which is remarkable considering Bexleyheath’s reputation. The crowd is a mix of young and old and is a far cry from the lot that inhabit the bars in the more troublesome parts of the town.
There are lots of random brass objects on the wall which gives the pub a sense of history and character. The pub is a bit small and can get a little cramped from time to time but if you ask someone to move over a little so you can reach the toilet they normally oblige without the attitude or dirty looks.
The pub does do food upstairs in the restaurant area which can be a little pricey but looks good for something like a work function or party where people might not mind splashing out a little extra.
Sadly parking can be a bit of a nuisance. You can park in the car park by the cinema which charges or you can park a few roads away around the corner from the old Woolwich/​Barclays building which is a couple of minutes walk away.
