Square Meal review of Albion:
Write your own review
The ground floor of Conran’s new Boundary complex is home to this soi-disant ‘caff’. A bakery-cum-corner shop sets the retro tone, leading to a long, light-filled dining room that looks like the platonic ideal of 1950s catering with its enamel light shades, tongue-&-groove panelling & spotless tiles. The school-dinner menu is in keeping – boiled beef & carrots, shepherd’s pie, egg custard – though dishes read better than they taste. Tangy Welsh rarebit came on bread rather than toast, & big-flavoured steak & kidney pud was housed in a too-thin suet casing, while sides of bubble & squeak & cauliflower cheese were lukewarm – perhaps because we declined to have our starters & mains served all at once, Wagamama-style. Food is washed down with a selection of French wines, Meantime beers or pots of tea in woolly brown cosies. In spite of reservations, a good-value, all-day drop-in.
