Dating back as far as 1764, The Prince Albert was renamed in 1842 to honor Prince Albert's visit to Dover.

Surrounded by reminders of Dover's evolving landscape, The Prince Albert stands as a cherished link to the past.

Beer enthusiasts will appreciate the rotating selection of three real ales, often sourced from local breweries. The pub also serves hearty evening meals from Wednesday to Saturday, with traditional Sunday roasts rounding out the weekend. Its small, sheltered courtyard provides a tranquil retreat during the summer months, and while dogs aren't allowed inside, they are welcome in the garden.
