Opened by the Star Brewery in 1840, the pub was later unofficially known as Wiffen's as it was run by three generations of the same family whose name is still displayed behind the bar. Nowadays divided into three areas, it is popular for its convivial atmosphere and Thai restaurant with take-away service. Air conditioning in use when needed during hot summer months. At the rear is an attractive garden with outside bar and Pods and a covered outside area to the side of the pub with tables and seating and two sports TV screens. Live music on Saturday evenings 9-11pm. Doggy treads available. Monday to Thursday (noon-6pm) there is 15% off on wine, draft beer & ale. The Prince Albert has been a finalist in the Fuller's Master Cellerman competition for four years running.
