Winner of the 2009 Observer Food Monthly Best Sunday Roast award Albion comes with a formidable reputation and a lot to live up to. Having failed to have Sunday lunch at a reasonable hour I was particularly hoping for a good feed as I dragged my weakened body through (what must be some of the nicest) streets of London. Hurdle number one, would such a popular place even have space, even at 9pm on a Sunday? Answer; only just, but yes they did and the armchair I ended up in was massive in a sort of mediaval king with a serious evil ruler complex kind of way. A good start that continued. Service was good and efficient and the surroundings were comfortable and well presented in a very gentrified plush, countrified gastropub way. Then my food arrived and I was ready to see if Albion had kept up with the pace or if it was 'totes noughties'.
