Opened by the Star Brewery in 1840, the pub was later unofficially known as Wiffen's as it was run by three generations of the same family whose name is still displayed behind the bar. Nowadays divided into three areas, it is popular for its convivial atmosphere and Thai restaurant with take-away service. The attractive garden is pleasant in summer. Live music on Saturday evenings 9-11pm. Two annual beer festivals feature small brewers. The smoking patio also features a sports screen. The Prince Albert has been a finalist in the Fuller's Master Cellerman competition for four years running. The pub refurbished in 2016.
