Senior Business Agent - Pubs & Restaurants

Positioned just a short walk from the Stadium of Light and surrounded by a residential community, The Albion has served as a key social and sporting hub for decades, welcoming local residents and match‑day visitors alike.
The two‑storey freehold property features a traditional main bar, a spacious lounge used for private functions and events, and a beer garden.
After more than 20 years of dedication to the pub, longstanding owners Ann and Bob Taylor have decided to retire, handing the keys over to a new owner to take the pub forward.
Ann Taylor said, “Christie & Co was the third agent I used to sell my pub, but they should have been the first. Marslie McGregor was excellent - it was a difficult sale, but her professionalism got us through.”
Marslie McGregor, Senior Business Agent at Christie & Co, who handled the sale, added,
“We are delighted to have completed the sale of The Albion, a true cornerstone of the Roker community. It was a pleasure to act on behalf of Ann and Bob Taylor, who have devoted more than twenty years to nurturing this fantastic pub. Its strong customer base, coastal location, and enduring community spirit made it a highly attractive opportunity. We wish the new owners every success as they take The Albion into its next chapter.”
The Albion pub was sold for an undisclosed price.
