HAVE YOUR FUNCTION WITH US

FUNCTIONS

We can cater for occasions such as weddings, birthdays, funeral teas etc. We can provide a sit down meal for up to 30 people or buffets can be provided for up to 40 people. Drinks parties are a bit of a specialty, although we don’t have a self contained function room as such we do have several naturally segregated areas of the pub which lend themselves perfectly if you are looking for your own space whilst still being part of the buzz.  Although we know the Courtyard is the perfect place for your Summer Party, Birthday or Wedding, it is also a firm favourite with our other valued customers and regulars and therefore we are unfortunately unable to exclusively hire the whole courtyard to one party. That said, we can offer you our lower balcony area, which seamlessly becomes part of our lovely courtyard when our floor to ceiling glass doors are opened out. Please ring to discuss your requirements - although if you have not seen the pub before it is probably better to call in as it’s a visual thing!

The Albert, named after Queen Victoria's husband, is just 500 metres from the Kingston Gate entrance to Richmond Park in Norbiton and has been a public house since 1855.  Steeped in history, the story goes that would-be inmates of the old Kingston Workhouse, now Kingston Hospital, opposite the pub, would bury small amounts of money in the roadside verges (now part of the pub car park) in order to gain admittance to the workhouse claiming destitution!  The pub was altered in 1894 and again in the 1930's.  When Kingston Hill was the main route from London to Kingston the household Cavalry used to stop here for refreshments for both men and their horses on the way from Buckingham Palace.  Today, still going strong, we offer a pub for all occasions.  Inside there is a contemporary look with a great atmosphere.  We serve gorgeous home cooked seasonal food every day.  Also on offer is a great selection of well kept real ales as well as delicious wines all available by the glass plus fresh fruit juices and smoothies, freshly brewed coffee or afternoon teas… Thirsty yet?  Our modern day royalty are our lovely doctors and nurses from Kingston Hospital over the road, where we are known as 'The Albert Ward'!  Summer is a bustling hub of activity, with cyclists, runners, dog walkers, sun bathers, kite flyers and more, all of whom are welcome to our pub for a refreshing drink.  See our website for more details of the park, jogging routes and local running clubs.  Our particular favourites are The Hash House Harriers - self named "drinkers with a running problem"!  There are areas available to hire for any special event - just call in, ring us or have a look at the website for more details.  Whether it's a romantic meal for two or a birthday bash with friends and family, we've got something to suit your needs. Pop in and see it for yourself!
