The New Albion is a traditional, family-friendly pub located on Liverpool Road in Widnes, in the borough of Halton on the Cheshire–Merseyside border. Rooted in the local community, it sits within a residential area a short distance from Widnes town centre and within easy reach of Victoria Park, the Silver Jubilee Bridge and riverside walks along the Mersey.
Following a refurbishment, The New Albion combines classic pub character with fresh, contemporary touches. Inside, you’ll find a warm, homely interior with plenty of seating for groups and families, as well as screens for live sport and a lively bar area. A large outdoor space, including a beer garden and external bar, is popular in warmer weather and used for events and gatherings.
The food offering focuses on classic British pub cuisine, with a menu designed around crowd-pleasing, good-value dishes. Starters and light bites typically include options such as garlic bread, crispy prawns, chicken wings and sharing platters. Mains feature familiar favourites like fish and chips, burgers, steaks, sausages and mash, pies, grills and pasta dishes, alongside salads and vegetarian choices. Regular deals, set menus and seasonal specials - such as themed event menus - add variety across the week. Traditional Sunday roasts with Yorkshire puddings and all the trimmings are a key draw.
Desserts lean towards comforting classics, including sticky toffee pudding, sundaes and chocolate-based options. At the bar, there is a broad selection of draught beers, cask ales, ciders, wines, spirits and soft drinks, with promotions and drinks offers featuring prominently.
Widnes’ strong community feel and accessible location between Liverpool and Cheshire make The New Albion a natural neighbourhood hub, offering straightforward, hearty pub food and a relaxed atmosphere for everyday meals, celebrations and casual drinks.
