Albion, Rainham

This pub has now been completely refurbished and the main part is very pleasant and busy. The food is good for meat eaters (which I'm not) and mainly of the "sizzling" kind, but has a few other options as well so that's fine by me. So far we have not had to wait a lifetime for our food, although I haven't been in there during a lunch hour yet. They usually have a couple of decent beers on and the staff are friendlier than they used to be. The smaller section of the pub is still more like a traditional pub with snooker table and TV. We used to avoid the place but now we go there and so far have enjoyed our visits. Not a "traditional" pub now, more a restaurant, but it's nice to have somewhere to go in an area that is a bit lacking for half decent drinking/eating places. I've given 8 out of 10 because something a little more interesting in the non meat range is needed.
