The Prince Albert has always been known for the high standards of its beer and over the last 6 years has earned a great reputation for food. We work to a simple formula – good beer and good food in a friendly, comfortable environment.
To keep our real ale customers happy, we have 10 cask ales/ciders on offer, six of which are rotated regularly. We also hold an annual beer festival in the substantial garden on the weekend after the August bank holiday - 30+ beers and ciders. 2019 will be our 5th Beer Festival (August 30th to Sept 1st).
There is a cosy restaurant to the rear of the pub as well as a bar area where visitors can eat. Dogs are welcome in the bar area and we do have our regulars! Sunday lunches are particularly lively with a good crowd of both eaters and drinkers and we still hold a traditional Sunday raffle at 3pm.
The restaurant is great for private functions and Christmas parties alike. It holds up to 40 people and looks out onto the long, well established garden. All of our food is prepared from fresh so allergies and dietary requirements are easy to cater for.

A lovely pub with a great garden. Even though I've known about the pub for years. It's not one I've used much, I will now. Might even try some food next time as the smells coming from the kitchen were very nice.
A really nice pub. Great range of real ales and ciders. The food was very good. We had a Sunday roast. Only small criticism was there was not much meat on the roast. The staff were very professional and friendly. Plenty of people in when we went. Various seating areas inside and out.
It's a nice place for a drink but the food has gone downhill in recent times. It's quite expensive for what it is and the quality isn't where it should be. For example, my mushroom risotto was undercooked and quite hard, the fish and chips was quite bland and over-priced for what it was. It's a shame as we used to love eating there. The desserts were quite good though. Hopefully it's just a temporary blip.
Very pretty, very good traditional cask ale pub within easy walking distance from Ely Cathedral or Oliver Cromwell's house. Eight cask ales are available on tap, plus some kegged options. While the inside is comfy and spacious, it's really the expansive beer garden to the back that makes the pub special (apart from the very good cask selection, of course). Very good seating in pleasant weather, and the weather WAS pleasant at the time of my visit in August. Service was a bit spotty, but that didn't detract from the overall good experience. A pub you'll visit for both the beer and the setting!
What an absolute treat this was! The Prince Albert ticks all the boxes for what you'd expect for a nice traditional English pub. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to experience a good ol' fashioned British pub, with a wide selection of beers & great quality British food. I'd never eaten here before, but I'm so glad I did. Having lived abroad for the last 3 years - I was really craving a good quality Fish n' Chips and I got exactly that. Honestly, one of the nicest I've had since I can remember. A delicious golden crispy coating, delicate, juicy and flaky fish . Not too greasy at all and served with a nice mushy pea puree. Oh and the chips! Proper homemade hand-cut chips (chunky, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside) simply delish! The bar staff were extremely friendly, helpful, polite and observative - exactly what you want went dining out. Really great pub with a nice atmosphere, highly recommended!
