mickgall Posted 6 June , 2023 Share Posted 6 June , 2023 Hello All I'm taking a few chums from work over to the Somme this weekend 9/6/23 for a tour. One has been been to Ypres before and is raving about Belgian beer which has got the merry men all fired up. Well Albert isn't quite Ypres for beer shops I'm guessing, so does anyone know if there are any beer shops in Albert/Arras or is it going to be a visit to Leclerc in Arras? Also I was wondering how busy restaurants are in Albert on a weekend evenings. We're arriving around mid-day to check in, dump bags etc, Should we go and book a restaurant then or is it ok to turn up in the evening, Many Thanks Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EAST YORKSHIRE Posted 6 June , 2023 Share Posted 6 June , 2023 Hello Mick, wouldn't have thought you would need to book tables in Albert on a normal weekend, I have never had a problem. Cheapest place we get our week's supply of beers/wine is actually at the Carrefour in Bucqouy. Enjoy your trip,Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Regiano Posted 6 June , 2023 Share Posted 6 June , 2023 There's also a Lidl in Albert near to the Ibis Hotel. i think they have a wine fair on at the moment and you can get a supply of cheap wine and beer there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Michelle Young Posted 7 June , 2023 Admin Share Posted 7 June , 2023 If I recall, there was a promotion of certain Belgian beers at the aforementioned Lidl when I shopped there last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickgall Posted 15 June , 2023 Author Share Posted 15 June , 2023 Hello again all. Well we ended up going to Leclerc in Arras, a huge range of beers and no we didn't need to book a restaurant. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
