The Alma

I had a birthday roast at the Alma yesterday afternoon and it was the BEST. Thankyou so much for being so accommodating for us, a large group of 14 as well as an extra person turning up they managed to get all our food out at the same time and it was all delicious, thankyou to the chefs and thankyou to the manager (I think) who handled our table so well! All the other staff we interacted with were lovely too. Plus the outdoor tent with gas fires is very impressive and makes a great atmosphere.

This is a place where you can enjoy life at a slightly slower pace. The menu appears to be well thought out with a selection of dishes that can be used for grazing or starters. A delicious range of wines to choose from. The place is casual, relaxed and a nice place to hang out. No loud music so a great place to enjoy a good conversation over a bottle of wine, a meal or just a handy hideaway to enjoy a cold pint. Dog friendly.

Our favourite place to eat in Crystal Palace. The food is great without being fussy. Service always good. Great gluten free options which is hugely appreciated. So grateful for their no children under ten policy - the rest of CP is extremely child friendly, and it's great to be able to eat somewhere without kids screaming or climbing over furniture while you try and enjoy a meal out. Please never change!

The most wonderful venue and incredible atmosphere! A place where you can go to relax, enjoy a delicious dinner and a lovely drinks menu! We visit here a lot and love the table service and knowledge team who are already ready to help with any recommendations. The pork belly roast dinner is simply heavenly! Highly recommend to anyone who likes to feel welcomed in a lovely pub with supreme quality food! The ambience in here is really relaxing and a perfect way to unwind after a hectic day in the real world! If I could give you 10 stars I would! We love you! Thank you for creating a sanctuary for us ♥️

I'm a roast dinner freak, ask anyone. Before I left London I was an every Sunday kinda guy, my second church after The Night Before. And this place was C.H.U.R.C.H. Amazing potatoes, solid veg, tender and brilliantly flavoured pork, crispy crackling and the gravy and Yorkshire combo was perfect. Yorkshire's are often the let down, but these ones were sublime, not too dry or crunchy although crispy enough, didn't go soggy but were also perfectly soft in the middle instead of being all air. It might have been an accident, but I prefer that it was science. Amazing. I wish I'd discovered this place when I still lived in London 🤣

As a dad with two young kids whilst initially disappointed re kids policy when I stumbled upon this place, it’s completely fair to offer an alternative experience to other pubs which, frankly on a Sunday lunch, can feel like being at a crèche. It’s a great pub. A relaxed and peaceful environment and excellent food and beer selection. I wish I had more free time to go their sans kids but it’s good to have up my sleeve for that time I do actually have the chance to escape the madness for a few hours. Embrace it parents - when you get a chance together for an outing without kids you’ll definitely appreciate the option.

Visited on a Saturday night with some friends. Good menu choices (some had sold out), food was fresh and tasty. Side options could be better-did think they were varied enough to go with all mains, but enjoyed my prawn starter with belly pork for main. Belly pork was cooked really well. Very busy so would advise to book in advance
