Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Drummond at Albury offers a charming atmosphere with welcoming staff and excellent food, making it a "special place" that "never disappoints." While the Sunday roast is a hit, the limited vegetarian options and occasional service hiccups suggest room for improvement. Dog-friendly and "lovely" for family lunches!

Both main meals very bland, and almost cold. Staff didn’t ask if any condiments and or additional drinks required. No one checked If meal ok either. Totally understand Sunday is a busy one, but certainly not what was expected after having high expectations from seeing all the good reviews.

A bit disappointed with this visit. They had closed a part of the restaurant and we were put into the conservatory which had no atmosphere . We were sat next to a rally loud group who were swearing an awful lot. I asked if we could be moved because we couldn’t have a decent conversation because the group were so loud and being a conservatory the acoustics were really bad. We were told there were no other tables so we ended up shouting at each other to be heard. Another couple who also sat in the conservatory moved and luckily found a table for two. It’s a shame because I’ve always rated The Drummond and have eaten there quite a few times, it was meant to be a nice meal out for our son’s 18th birthday but it wasn’t. I don’t think we’ll go back.

We've visited several times for the Sunday roast, and we weren't disappointed. The one improvement needed that could put people off is if you have a vegetarian or vegan amongst your guests, then the choices for them are very limited.

Fish overcooked and lacking sauce, ravioli tough and heavy, flavours lacking, most dishes came with rocket, which was uninspiring. Nothing special and poorly cooked. Very over priced for what we received. Won’t be hurrying back and won’t recommend to friends.
