The Prince Albert

The Prince Albert is one of the food-and-drink stops worth knowing about in Ely: it is a traditional English pub on Silver Street with a more intimate neighbourhood feel than Ely’s larger central venues. Its historic character and garden make it an appealing contrast to the city’s restaurant-led dining, particularly for visitors looking for a classic pub stop. As a pub or bar, it also carries some of the social character of the place: the sort of venue where residents and visitors share the same space rather than experiencing a purely visitor-facing attraction. That gives it value within a wider itinerary through East Cambridgeshire, especially for an informal drink, a slower stop or an evening after exploring. Menus, service times and opening arrangements can change seasonally, so visitors making a special journey should check the venue’s current information before travelling.
