Prince Alfred & Formosa Dining Room in City of London, Westminster

Cormac and his team were just great from start to finish when organising my staff Christmas party with them, and the food and service on the night was amazing too. I would definitely return either with another group of friends or just to enjoy the great food and atmosphere!

We discovered this gem by accident on our last trip to London, and a Sunday roast here was high on the list for this trip. A gorgeous pub oozing character, it has quaint ‘snob screens’ that separate sections of the bar. They’re a lot of fun to navigate, and give a truly unique ‘British Pub’ experience. The service was great - very friendly, and the food was divine. This has the feel of a local pub, off the beaten tourist track, and is situated in a lovely part of town, not far from Little Venice. Well worth a visit, no matter how short your time in London is. Just be sure to book ahead if you want to dine in the ‘snob screen’ area.

I had lived in this area 20 years ago and this pub was my local. I am happy to say it is still as charming and welcoming as I remembered. Service was a bit rushed for our Sunday Roast, and we were served our meal before our drinks arrived. Food was tasty but we would have liked a slower service. Staff was friendly, and we absolutely loved the feel of this pub!

El personal era muy atento y no podía hacer lo suficiente por usted. La comida era excelente, porciones muy generosas, delicioso y buena relación calidad-precio.

Hoy fuimos a almorzar el domingo. Tuvimos un par de horas de espera (pero no habíamos reservado, así que nuestra culpa) el personal era muy encantador y atento. Buena selección de bebidas y el menú del domingo fue fantástico.

Great place for a drink, lovely dinner, fab staff…great pub atmosphere and staff are so welcoming. Food was really tasty!

Great pork belly Sunday roast, the staff were friendly and the building is beautiful. It's a well run venue and a great place to spend Sunday lunch. Highly recommend

Brilliant Attentive Staff. The food was delicious and such good quality. The atmosphere was truly delightful. We can't wait to go back again.

Light airy venue with charming serving staff. Pleasant environment although not quite as new and sparkling as the photos suggest. Predictable pub menu. We had the charcuterie plate which was intended for 2 and listed as sharing. The quantities were meagre - and poor value for the £26 list price. Given that all they did was put it on a plate and toast some bread, this was disappointing. The waitress was gracious about it which helped.

Lovely afternoon catching up with friends over a Sunday Roast. Great service, food very good with one exception - the crackling with the pork was inedible which was disappointing. Highly recommend the Prince Albert.

Usual fare, great all round service and comfortable setting. Always enjoy coming here no matter what time of the year. Food and service fantastic. Local clientele and friendly staff, what more can you ask for.

We went for a large family lunch on Sunday- the pub itself is large, bright and welcoming and has lots of period features but the food was pricey and cold .

Fabulous lunch beautifully cooked beef delicious Irish coffee served in juice glasses which was an eclectic touch the chocolate brownie was divine and the white Rioja recommended by Jared was excellent ! The one glass of the red chocolate box was superb Back to its best

The food was nice. Felt very judged from when we walked in and until we walked out. Felt very pretentious for a village pub.

Very disappointing lunch in what was our most recent favourite restaurant We were seated next to the exit and toilets despite an almost empty restaurant having requested other seating The burrata was solid and the salad undressed No bread was offered and when requested was stale and covered in olive oil with a blob of margarine on the side Mains were served while we were stlll eating our starters We definitely got the end of roast beef Potatoes and Yorkshire were dry and cold no extra veg offered Very Very disappointing

Lovely experience great food and excellent service. Max, Amy and Louis were lovely helping us with cocktails and always attentive.

Another fab evening at the Prince Alfred - great atmosphere, good food and friendly peeps all round - thanks

Great pub in a top location, food, service and atmosphere top notch-you won’t fine a central pub with great people looking after you.

Best pub in London? Certainly in the running. Fantastic atmosphere, great food and the staff are amazing and friendly. Make sure to say a big hello to the dishy Jared when you’re there! Enjoy!

Feels like home every time I’m here. Staff are exceptional and the epitome of what a good London pub experience should be! Special mention to the one and only Evy, if you’re ever in the area or genuinely just fancy a pint - this is the place to be! Long live the Alfred 🍻

The pub is more or less next door to the hotel I was staying at, and I didn’t want to walk very far. So it was the easy option, but I couldn’t have been more delighted. My daughter was supposed to join me, but couldn’t make it because of the bad weather, and so I was on my own. But the staff were delightful, and made me feel very relaxed (which isn’t always the case for singles). I had the pork and leek sausages with mash - absolutely great! And a big glass of Chilean Sauvignon blanc.

We were visiting friends nearby and this pub was a very nice surprise. Good beer and an excellent New Zealand’s Sauvignon Blank. We had the fish and chips which were excellent. To top every pleasant evening our sever Lewis was excellent - helpful, professional and friendly

We had a lovely meal - great fish and chips straight from the fryer. The service was good, as were the wine prices and the atmosphere was buzzy and fun.

I love this restaurant Open kitchen that always delivers Great pub food Always get good service Definitely recommend Beautiful pub as well for drinks

I'm on a working visit from Scotland & visited here today for the first time. Staff (Max & Jacob) were really friendly & welcoming as soon as i entered. Very helpful & knowledgeable. The Chefs were topclass also. Great & wide drinks choice. Delicious food. The place looks amazing & historic. A "proper pub" feel. Highly recommend. I'll be back there soon & thanks again for the ice to takeaway (going the extra mile).

Super cool place with amazing heritage. Food/beer: delicious, beer fresh and clean taste. Throughly enjoyed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😊

After 10 hours of dance she has to come to her favourite place for her favourite dish tailored for her ♥️ amazing chefs- amazing staff that made sure she got her favourite meal- thank you guys ❤️

I booked a table for 10 friends & family for my birthday lunch on Friday, 4 August and had the most amazing experience! The menu was varied and plentiful and everything tasted delicious! Thanks to all the staff especially Hugo who has the patience of a saint dealing with 10 raucous women!

Great Sunday lunch- a whole roast chicken for 2. Decently cooked with the usual trimmings. Relaxed but efficient staff. An enjoyable experience. Would be great for family meet-ups.

Fantastic Sunday lunch yesterday. The usual, and impeccable service. Great team work, attention to detail and collaboration going on. Thanks again to Jared and his team for making us feel at home the minute we walked through the door.

Amazing atmosphere and service. Our waiter was extremely friendly and knowledgable, suggested the monkfish and it did not disappoint!

I popped into the Prince Alfred, for a lunchtime drink & after a relaxing start, a man comes in, sets up two laptops & proceeds to hold a loud meeting with someone on the other end of the phone. He’s not drinking or eating, or coming up for air unfortunately & is apparently (his admission) using their WiFi. I’m disappointed I’ve chosen to spend my money here on this occasion. It’s a quiet afternoon, there’s me & this man, in one section of the pub, with the bar opposite & how nice it would have been, if the staff were paying more attention to who is paying & who isn’t. When I politely speak to the man, legitimately thinking he must work there, he takes offence & is rude. The staff aren’t paying attention, so I leave. If you want to hold your work meeting somewhere in Maida Vale, this pub should qualify for serious consideration, it’s incredibly cheap & no one apparently cares if you’re loud & inconsiderate.

Been using the PA for many years when on stays in London and never fails to satisfy. I make it a definite when I'm close.

A very cool pub with an unusual interior - we always bring guests here. Food and drink were great and we felt very well looked after by Martina and Max!

This spot is perfect for any occasion. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, Lewis Thomas and Miguel work relentlessly to provide an outstanding quality of food and service to anyone looking to dine at the pub. A special thanks to Ollie Carl and Aryan...

Great atmosphere and staff! Martina was very friendly and professional. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to have a pleasant time.

This pub has a great atmosphere and delicious food! On top of this, the staff are really attentive and out going. I specifically was impressed with a lovely lady named Eva, who ensured me and my friends had drinks and were having a good time....

Perfect service at the Prince Alfred! My girlfriend and I were treated to excellent service by Carl, Lewis, Aryan and Ollie. Miguel and Thomas accomadated to my alergies and made a beautifull burger! Nikoletta was also very caring towards my girlfriend's puppy. Possible new local!

Popped in here for some lunch over the weekend, food was great but the service even better. Eva’s hospitality was exceptional as were her multitude of accents and stories. Big shoutout to max too! Defo recommend if your in the area for a great meal!

This spot is really good if you're looking for a great brunch without the faff. Hugo's service was outstanding and the the chef (Nikita?) could do no wrong. Highly recommend swinging by if you have the time! p.s. Get a bloody mary from Eva ;)...

I’ve been a few times now, usually mid-afternoon and have enjoyed the quality of the pub food. The last time I had fish and chips and the lemon posset which were all excellent and the time before the burger. They serve a mean Bloody Mary...

We had our team dinner at the Prince Alfred and it was just lovely - great food, fab service, relaxed atmosphere and everyone had a super time.

This place never stops to amaze me - it’s just getting better and better - the staff are second to non and the chefs oh my god - amazing staff Eva, Max too many to mention because they are all so amazing - Restaurant again...

This was an amazing place to meet people. Martina in particular made me feel very comfortable and welcome, especially since I was alone. She made a lot of conversation with me and was super friendly. I’d definitely go back

I’ve discovered this place thanks to a friend of mine. I really enjoyed that evening: nice place, delightful costumers and hilarious staff, they really like talking with costumers, especially Martina. What else?

I have been calling into the "PA" for a good few years. The staff have on occasion been rather hit and miss, with staff coming and going regularly. This has changed over the last months and they have a great staff there now who get...

We go here a lot. Always good food. Staff are great and helpful. You always feel welcome here and for central London the food is not overpriced

What an amazing Sunday roast I had at the Alfred! I was sat down by Lewis who gave us a great run down of recommendations. Said Thomas and Miguel make excellent beef roasts. Didn’t disappoint! Could not also fault service from Carl, Ollie and Aryan...

Stopped in for a couple of drinks before the theatre with some friends. Aryan, Ollie, Lewis and Carl were so helpful, knew loads of facts about the history of the place and even let us chuck our bags behind the bar so we could sit...

Excellent experience at Prince Alfred & Formosa dining room! Lewis and Aryan provided exceptional service, and Miguel and Thomas cooked up a treat. Highly recommend.

Had a wonderful lunch. Our waiters, Callum and Ronak were very attentive. Lovely chilled atmosphere. Chilled great place to have lunch. Will certainly come again.

Great local pub. Interesting and beautiful architecture. Very friendly with surprisingly good food. Definitely elevated from typical pub food. We all had the Sunday Roast. Chicken was fantastic and pork belly another good option. Very glad we stopped by.

I met my friend for a Sunday roast, and I loved the bar with separator with the little doors, the glass windows are unbelievably beautiful; and the food was top notch. Hugo, Max and Eva are fantastic, very friendly and attentive all the time. We...

Food was excellent here but more importantly the service was out of this world. Nothing was too much trouble for any of their servers. The food was delicious and served hot without an extended waiting time. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back...

The Prince Alfred is by far one of my most favourite places to go with amazing staff and manager. The food is amazing and I have lunch there probably four times a week. I had my goddaughter stay with me and she adored the fish...

Highly recommend. From the warm welcoming staff..Carl behind the bar needs a special mention...always quick to serve and ensure your taken care of.. There is a nice spacious restaurant area and a food menu that has something for everyone ..the very traditional English dish of...

We chose to eat here because it was close to where we were staying. While the atmosphere is lovely and the service prompt, I thought the menu offered limited choice, especially for those with dietary restrictions. It was also over priced in comparison with similar...

We had a fantastic Christmas Lunch. First time my family had Christmas lunch away from home and we will be doing it next year. The food was quick and tasty. The duck starter was excellent and the main course of turkey and gammon even better....

Our lunch on Christmas Day was a real pleasure in every way. A warm welcome from Jared, the manager, crackers at the table, a glass of champagne and an attractive and delicious little appetiser were a great start. The main meal was good, all three...

After not travelling for 2 years or more due to covid, I shouldn't be surprised by London prices but I was: 19 quid for fish and chips. The fish was a fair sized portion and battered to a nice crisp, fries were decent. The minted...

We have been frequently guests the last ten year at the pub. The service and the attention of the staff has been decreasing for each year. Today Saturday in October appalling. Where is the management staff?

From management, to kitchen crew, to servers, the PA never disappoints. A warm and friendly ambiance, we are always feel very welcome. The pub has the feel of a quintessentially English local pub but with good food. It is a gorgeous charming place with the...

I've been a few times at this pub for Sunday roast, and every single time I end up having a great meal, of the highest quality ingredients for the value. The vegetarian Sunday Roast is very filling and tasty. Great atmosphere, stunning venue with a...

Beautiful old pub with amazing atmosphere and charm. We had a gorgeous Sunday lunch for my daughters birthday. Family and friends we had a lovely time. Fabulous lunch and great service - what more can you ask? So much so we booked for Christmas lunch!...

Came for a family Sunday roast and cannot rate this place. Excellent food, drink, service and atmosphere. Already looking to book our return.

Recommended by a friend, and I can't fault it. Good value. Thanks to Czeska and Jose for great service.

Great atmosphere at this pub and well worth a visit. I visited last week with my husband and the food was great. thank you to Jose for recommending such a delicious meal and to Czeska for perfect service at the bar!

The vegan burger was beautiful. Brilliant service by Callum and Carl. Will be back on our next trip to London.

Dropped into this quintessential London pub on the 2nd August for just a drink but was tempted into a bite to eat as well, so I had some cheesy bites to start followed by the fish n chips (of course). Service was welcoming and prompt...

Our uni reunion was the best any of us have ever experienced. Yes, the food and drink was great but what made it special was the service! Czeska and Jose were delightful, informative and efficient. They made sure we had everything we needed without being...

I came in the other day with some friends and ordered the fish and chips which was beautifully prepared by Miguel. I also got served by Callum and Carl who were hilarious and couldn't have been any nicer. The service here is fantastic and I'll...

My wife and I chanced upon this gorgeous establishment, coinciding as it did with our hunger and the need to be away from over-glitzy and overpriced trashy, tourist traps. Immediately on entering, this place was a joy to behold both visually and as somewhere you’d...

I came here with my Dad the other day and was treated to some excellent food! Callum and Jared delivered food and drinks with a smile! Shout out to Miguel and Roberto for the food! P.s. Always an extra point for warm, clean plates. Was...

The Prince Albert & Formosa dining rooms have a great ambience to go alongside excellent food and top service (Thank you Czeska & Lewis (or Jose)??) for making the whole experience so pleasant. No long drawn out review from me. My advice is simple just...

Great food, great atmosphere and a particular shout out to Czeska and Lewis for their friendly welcome and attentive service the whole time we were in the pub. Definitley worth a visit

This pub never fails to deliver excellent, professional and friendly service. Especially Carl and Callum who are always very welcoming. Good atmosphere and the food is great.

Every time I come to the Prince Alfred, I receive the warmest welcome from Callum - a bartender and waiter you can't fault. His excellent customer service and charming personality never fail to make each visit one to remember. Not to mention the lovely Carl,...

Can't wait to return here! We had the pleasure of meeting Callum, one of the waiters. Service was fantastic and so was the fish! 10/10

Laurel & Hardy, Morecambe & Wise, Ant & Dec, and the Chuckle Brothers - all double acts that pale in comparison to the charm and wit displayed by Callum & Carl when I visited the Prince Alfred over the bank holiday weekend. From their excellent...

After coming to the pub with a work friend, we were astounded by the excellent food by Miguel and unbelievably friendly service by Callum and Carl (who were also very easy on the eye). Would definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the area -...

Me and the lads had a mint time at the Alfred. Came in for a day session of boozing and we were not left disappointed. We were looked after by the staff who kept us satisfied meaning that despite being a heard of raging buffalo...

My parents were visiting from across the pond and I wanted to take them to a classic English pub. The Prince Alfred was perfect - traditional pub food, seasonal drinks and excellent service! The staff were very friendly and attentive, in particular our waiter Lewis....

Maida Vale's best boozer. A top place to mingle. Carl and co. deliver a fine pint of Guinness. Not to mention the finest wines known to humanity. You might even meet a celeb: Pete the Purple People eater. Or Madge the Contortionist. And what about...

I came for dinner with a group of friends and was so impressed start to finish! The building and bar area are beautiful, with an open kitchen looking into the dining room. We received friendly and professional service from Callum who couldn’t do enough to...

Amazing pub to come to with friends in the heart of Little Venice!! Such a lovely atmosphere & great staff. Special thank you to our brilliant waitress Czeska! She went above & beyond to make sure our table was happy throughout the evening & made...

From the moment we arrived our waiter Lewis made us feel incredibly welcomed! The food was out of this world and the selection of drinks and wine matched it equally. Will definitely be returning in the near future. Just another word on Lewis, hands down...
