Albion Hotel

Food Being just my wife and I, we stuck to a fairly simple ordering protocol; starting with two drinks, followed by an entrée and then two mains, supplemented by an extra glass of our fav “Squealing Pig” Sauvignon blanc to wash it all down. For the entrée, we chose the “calamari fritti” with citrus aioli ($14), while the mains were the “chicken supreme” ($27) and the Moroccan lamb pizza ($26). The calamari was soft and chewy; accompanied by a smooth and creamy aioli sauce. Perfect way to start the evening. And the mains didn’t disappoint either. My wife's chicken supreme was a tasty and satisfying dish, with generous pieces of succulent chicken, served with fresh rocket salad, potato cakes that were as soft as butter, and garlic sauce. My Moroccan lamb had lashings of tender lamb slices, cheese, spinach and caramelised onion. As good as any you’d get at any Italian pizzeria. Portion sizes were generous and we both enjoyed our meals. Presentation was neat on smart, modern crockery. Service We were warmly greeted on arrival by the manager, and shown to a nice table on the outdoor terrace, in the part of the venue, known as the “Cucina Restaurant”. This is the kind of place where you’ll feel welcome the moment you walk in. Amy, our server for the night, was polite, friendly and efficient. She was perceptive too, helping us to choose the right table, in a quieter part of the restaurant. Our order was promptly taken and drinks, entrees and main courses came out in a steady clip and in the correct order. It was a pleasure to enjoy such professional service. Thanks Amy. Vibe The Albion is a stylish, airy and spacious venue with multiple dining areas, inside and outside, pub style or bistro style: there’s something for everyone. It exudes history and old world charm and if you take a walk down the corridor you’ll see a pic of the original hotel built in the 1860s, alongside a framed narrative of the story of the site. As a history buff, I loved that. Furniture is comfy with colourful wicker chairs and solid steel tables that were able to fit all the drinks and the meals. The vibe is relaxed, casual and laid back. Tables are well spaced out, meaning that acoustics were good and we were easily able to converse. But I guess as the weather cools, indoor dining would be more suitable and you’ll have plenty of choice of where to sit. Cost We paid 88 for three drinks, including a pint of my fav Gt Northern Super Crisp Ale at the specials price of only 6, an entrée and two mains. Given the excellent quality of the food, generous portion sizes and efficient service, it was money well spent. But it really just goes to show the extent to which inflation, driven by massive govt overspending and free money for all, has completely eroded the value of our little Aussie peso. Toilets Toilets are clean and well provisioned with soap and hand towels. They’re clearly signposted and easy to find in the middle of the venue. Parking There is a car park right in front of the venue, which also serves the adjacent BWS Liquor Store. Apparently payment is required to park, but if you give your car reg to the manager, he’ll make sure that you aren’t charged. Having the BWS liquor store right there is handy and convenient, as you can stock up the liquor cabinet on your way out. Summary We had a fab night at the Albion and everything ran smoothly. The Albion is part of the A.L.H. Group of hotels. We’ve dined at many of them in and around Bris and never been disappointed. The Albion was no exception and it completely met all our expectations. Here you’ll find all the ingredients for a laid back, relaxed and super comfy night out with family and/or friends. We’ll definitely be back.

We stopped in the as our son is thinking about having a small wedding reception there for around 20 people so we had a look at there wine room looks nice just the right size We also had lunch there that was very nice as well Great parking there and only across the road from the train station as well.

Enjoyed a lovely meal tonight, as usual the staff are super friendly and helpful. The manager on tonight was amazing, she refunded our meal as the steak wasn't cooked exactly to our request and the mains came out too quick we had barely gotten half way through starter's! We never asked or expected a refund but this small gesture is the difference between customer service and retaining a long-term patron. This made our Easter weekend Thank you ladies we will be back soon 😊

Had the best experience here! I think it was Hannah that looked after my friend and I and our 2 dashhounds when we came in for dinner. From the moment we approached the door she was attentive and helpful. My friend and I both had steaks and they were fantastic!!! Melt in your mouth perfectly cooked. Will definitely be back again soon. Thanks guys, great venue. 5 stars!

Generally has been a decent pub for the ten years I have worked in the vicinity, however staff are currently unable/unwilling to help resolve issues when 'their' system is unable to process eligible discounts. Other pubs have had no system issues when paying separately using discount offers, and the decision by the manager at the time to not find a solution, but to shrug and blame the 'system' left the mediocre meal I had even more bitter . (Overcooked from medium rare, and a pretty fatty rump piece, issues I initially wrote off as this was a large group pre-order) Fortunately there are several lunch options in the vicinity to provide alternatives in the future. EDIT: While I appreciate the manager leaving a response here and I attempted to call them, I would appreciate if my place of work was edited out of the response for privacy reasons
