The Albion has something for everyone with a menu full of local produce bursting with flavour and a large selection of drinks to satisfy any thirst. The roaring wood-burner in the comfy seating area is a real focus point when its a chilly day outside.
Beautiful lighting, on trend decor, attentive yet unintrusive service makes your visit, whether long or short, a truly wonderful experience. You really won't want to leave!.
It wouldn't be right unless we tell you about our famous Sunday lunch which at the Albion is a truly special affair. Our 5 Star Award winning Roasts are succulent and one of the best in Bristol. Excellent food with wonderful ambiance as the Bristol Evening Post Food Critic said..... "Just as Sundays should be........."
Our History
The Albion is a very special place. Steeped in history this 17th Century Coach House is one of Clifton’s most popular dining and drinking establishments and has remained so for over 250 years since its opening in the 1760s.
Thomas Boyce acquired land on Clifton Hill and spent £8000 building accommodation for the wealthy visitors who flocked to the spa for the season. Built in the late 1760s for stabling of coach and horses for the visitors. The Albion is most likely named after a 200 ton ship built at that time in the Bristol shipyards, owned by Davis and Protheroe and launched in 1778 under the name of The Albion.
