The Prince

🚇 Stoke Newington 🍺 £5.90 Budvar ❤️ A laid back Stokey local. . Perched on a corner in a quiet residential street in N16 you’ll find The Prince. The nearest station is Stoke Newington Overground which a ten minute amble away. . The Prince or The Prince of Wales as it was first called, was built by Charringtons around 1880. Many pubs have dropped “Arms” “Tavern” etc from their name to appear more appealing, can you stop that please! . The decor here is rustic with a traditional feel, this pub had some nice features throughout. The servery has a contemporary look with a mix of parkay cladding, a metal glass shelf and tiled back bar. The seating is a mix of traditional tables and chairs, a couple of poser tables plus comfy leather buttoned banquettes. There is a beautiful staircase with detailed iron work that heads up to the loos and a simple but elegant fireplace with artwork above. . The beer line up was impressive with a focus on local craft beers, for the cultured imbibers, three cask ales are available. I opted for a pint of Budvar, my pint was excellent and cost just under six quid. There is a burger based food menu, I saw a few being served and they did look very nice indeed, a 6oz cheeseburger costs £12.50. This pub has a strong Sunday roast game, a Chicken roast costs £18.50. . I visited just after 2pm on a Saturday afternoon, on arrival the pub lacked atmosphere and was very quiet. Someone behind the ramp must have realised it felt flat and put the music on, instantly you felt you were in a completely different pub. It’s funny how much background noise makes a difference to your mood. The crowd was local which comprised of solo drinkers, friends catching up and families enjoying the burgers. The service was good, the two chaps on duty were welcoming and laid back. . @theprincen16 is a relaxing pub which is popular with the local community. The beer line up was impressive and the food looked great. This corner pub has some nice architectural features which make for a pleasant stay. Definitely worth a look. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 01.04.23

We had our last meal here in London before we had to catch our flight back home and it was a great way to end our vacation. The Sunday roast was delicious and cooked to perfection. The service was good natured and professional. Highly recommend an outing here.

Delicious Sunday roast. Great atmosphere too.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere, the staff were so friendly and attentive. The food was expensive and not amazing, the burger was £11 and didn't even come with salad or chips... bit annoying and only had one vegan option

Good pub and good roast but a lot of the pork belly wasn't tasty/edible. The gravy was so generous; veggies excellent and service lovely. A super bloody mary and nice wine. Would recommend!
