The Prince Regent in Lambeth

Loved our Local pub when living in London 50 years ago great memories snooker table upstairs then, must pop over next time visiting London.

Historic London pub with dozens of beer choices

We visited this pub recently and had a frustrating experience. Upon arriving, we were informed the kitchen was closed until 5pm. We politely asked if it would be okay to bring in food from elsewhere, and a member of staff assured us, "of course, that would be no problem." Taking them at their word, we ordered a round of several pints and brought in some takeaway food. However, shortly after, we were abruptly told that bringing in food was not allowed, and we were asked to leave immediately. When we explained that another staff member had told us otherwise, there was no willingness to hear us out. Instead, we were met with "we will have to escalate this to the manager." There was no acknowledgment of the misleading information we had been given, and the whole interaction felt dismissive. We usually enjoy supporting local pubs, but the lack of communication and empathy here left a sour impression. Whilst we were eventually allowed to eat our food, we were certainly not made to feel welcome after that interaction. A simple apology or effort to understand would have made all the difference.

Very relaxed pub. Family friendly. Lovely roasts. Decent priced beer.

Love the life drawing classes run by Lisa upstairs on a Wednesday night

Went to get a drink at 10pm, Arthur told me wasn't serving because I opened the door wrong, but they were obviously cleaning and closing up. Just say that,say your closing, and don't act as I'm drunk for not pushing the door when it's a pull.

Always a pleasure coming here, the staff and managers are professional and always kind and helpful. Our dogs favourite pub!

🚇 Herne Hill 🍺 £6.10 Cruzcampo The Prince Regent is located opposite Brockwell Park in the leafy South London suburb of Herne Hill. The nearest station is Herne Hill mainline, it’s a five minute walk to get here. This Victorian corner pub was built in the mid-nineteenth century and was once a Truman’s house. The pub has an elaborate exterior including a statue of the Prince Regent. This is a one bar pub with a good sized bar with a dining area behind a wood and etched glass partition. The decor is traditional with lots of timber fixtures and fittings. The servery is centrally located and has a decorative gantry. There is plenty of seating throughout the, I loved sturdy pews. Around the walls are a number of historical pictures, a couple of TV’s and a handsome Truman's mirror. At the front of the pub there are a dozen or so benches shaded by parasols. The beer selection consists of well known tipples and included one cask. I decided on a Cruzcampo, my pint hit the spot, price point was average. The food menu is pub classics, the specials offered more adventurous dishes, Fish & Chips costs £15.95, Roasts are available Sundays. I arrived just before 12pm on a sunny Saturday lunchtime in September. The pub was not long opened so I had the pub to myself. The service was pleasant, I was served by friendly chap who was welcoming. There was a nice ambiance to the pub which had a laidback local feel. This was my first pub on a crawl around Herne Hill and what a great start. I loved the unique architecture of the pub, the traditional interior and local pub feel. My pint was decent and not overly priced. @theprincetegentse24 is a solid all-rounder and well worth your patronage. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 21.09.24

Food is great! Service flawless and a very good selection of wine and beers.

Domingo almuerzo. Fuimos en familia. Once adultos, tres bebés y dos perros. Personal bajo presión por el que el gerente se disculpó (la honestidad siempre agradeció), pero la comida era posiblemente el mejor asado de domingo que he tenido en mucho tiempo. Eso incluye pubs y restaurantes. Carne de res encantadora y rara, Spuds crujiente y la salsa fue un placer preparado de cuatro días. Precios £ 19 más vino a un precio razonable. Volveremos.

Enjoyed their Monday night special menu a couple of weeks ago. Fish cakes starter followed by bangers n mash plus a friend’s sticky toffee pudding with cream as they had to dash off to catch a train. Decent hand pull beer too. Wish my local was more like this.

By FAR the best pub in Brixton/ Herne Hill. Great food, good beer, friendly bar staff and general good vibes. Why wouldn’t you come here! Until next time my prince 🫡

Celebrated my 60tj birthday here, and it was awesome! Lovely atmosphere, great service and very very attentive. My guests and I had a fantastic time. Thank you so much to the staff who worked that shift (till closing) on Saturday 24/08/2024🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

Brilliant their Monday evening menu, 2(starter+main) for £12 Never let us down. Its part of family tradition for almost every Monday. Thank you so much

I have been going to the Prince Regent for years. Its my local and I love it there. The manager and Tony behind the bar are professional, friendly and welcoming. Quiz night is fun. The burgers are great and very reasonably priced. I have tried a lot of their meals and all have been good. The pub attracts a mixed friendly crowd of people. Dogs are very welcome and often spoilt by the staff.

Nice pub with a good selection of wine and beers and a tasty menu. If you are in the area, pop in and you won’t be disappointed 🍻

Got a side helping of food poisoning with my lunch sandwich and fries today. The mold on the mayonnaise the previous week should have been a sign, really, but I was hoping it was a one off. Changing locals.

El 7 de junio comí por segunda vez a bordo de “El Príncipe Regente”. Como detallé antes, la primera visita fue para almorzar. Sin embargo, esta vez fue para cenar. Me recibieron con los brazos abiertos. No estaban listos para que los clientes abordaran, así que me sugirieron ir al lado de su otro restaurante por un tiempo - La Gran Duquesa. Así que lo hice y comí tres ostras deliciosamente frescas con una salsa Mignonette, junto con un excelente “Mocktail” sin alcohol. Muy pronto, me dijeron que estaban listos para abordar. Tan pronto como llegué, me presentaron cuatro ostras deliciosas más en la casa, también con una excelente salsa Mignonette. . Estando solo, me habían asignado un asiento individual en el mostrador de una de las ventanas. Les pregunté si tenían una mesa que pudiera tener. Explicaron que todas las mesas estaban llenas, pero verían si tenían un no show. Si es así, esa mesa sería mía. Como sospechaba que pasaría, todos aparecieron. ¿Y qué hicieron? Colocaron un pequeño dos - parte superior cerca de uno de los otros puertos, en el medio del pasillo de servicio. Fue fenomenal y muy cómodo. Una vez más, la comida y el servicio era absolutamente superlativo. Este restaurante se ha convertido en uno de mis tres restaurantes favoritos, a nivel mundial. Los otros son La Tour d’Argent en París y The Angus Barn en Raleigh, Carolina del Norte. Al terminar mi aperitivo, un señor que estaba sentado a una mesa a estribor, con su esposa e hijo, se acercó para presentarse. Mark era su nombre y me dijo que era de Glasgow. Por supuesto, le dije que ese era el pueblo en el que nací. Preguntó por dónde. Le dije que sólo para descubrir que vivía a la vuelta de la esquina de donde yo nací. Luego me preguntó si, en lugar de sentarme sola, me gustaría unirme a ellos. Estas fueron tres de las personas más amables que he conocido en el camino. Fue una noche fabulosa. Nos reímos tan a menudo y tan duro, que simplemente no puedo expresar lo maravillosa que fue la noche. Dicho esto, permanecí a bordo después de una cena estupendamente agradable y conversé con la joven a cargo, Niemh y el resto de la tripulación. Extrañaré visitarlo hasta el próximo viaje!

Herne Hill's best pub. The outdoor area, being right by a road, shouldn't be as inviting as it is, but it's a glorious sun trap.

This is the place to get food and / or have a (hot) date, forget about the market or Herne Hill. Great food, keenly priced, plus a grat pub quiz ... and very pet friendly!

Great function rooms; just right for a party!

Staff and vibe are lovely, but oh man the vegan food is bad. I saw 2-3 options and thought “oh, that’s good, they know what they’re doing.” The burger arrived literally as a dry blob in a bun. Not a hint of even salad or sauce. The ‘steak’ looked like a chunky frozen job bought from Iceland for £1.20. I and the table beside me literally just described it as “sad, sorry looking food cooked with absolutely no love.” I felt like I’d been punished for ordering the vegan option. Please, please either cook it like you’re proud of your profession, or take it off the menu so we can get real food somewhere else. (Also thank you for being nice people, but please improve the food..)

Went to this pub before going to project 6. Was fine, but popped on the Sunday after spilling mustard all over my tshirt. Got grief from a libberacci lookalike from the moment I went in re: using the facilities. He sarcastically asked in a loud voice in front of the whole pub whethehr I enjoyed the toilets - mortifying. It's a London public house on a bank holiday (they are coining it) - get over yourselves. I live around the corner and will never be coming back.

Roasts were ok for the adults but the gravy was extremely strong flavour (not unpleasant) and they were served in shallow bowl so it was difficult to avoid. This gravy was also on the children’s roasts, my son didn’t really eat anything with this gravy on, I did mention this to the waitress as I handed back his barely eaten roast but it would be good to have this gravy on the side.

Great pub with good food and a sunny front

Very friendly helpful staff, great food and some lovely craft beers

I go with friends for the pub quiz on Tuesdays. The beers are lovely and the food that I've had there is good and fresh. The service is great

Local pub all good don't ask for change ..

Grate all round always pop in when I'm passing

Very friendly and nice place! Everyone was very welcoming, nice risotto too!

Best pub in South London, been coming here for almost 20 years now and still my go to for a Sunday roast with the family.

I went for a birthday dinner and the specials was amazing. Would definitely go back for the food.

Lovely ambience/decor and the staff + manager are brilliant.

Nice pub with a relaxed atmosphere. However the food was a big disappointment. I'm a vegetarian and ordered a vegan burger and was given a burger between a bun with no sauce, salad and no option of cheese (even vegan cheese). It was a dry experience. I asked for some cheese to add to the burger and and was basically given a block of cheese. The two stars given are for the chips and lettuce on my plate but the burger was a huge disappointment at an expensive price. Not a great experience for a vegetarian or a vegan.

We’ve been going there for years. Always great atmosphere.

Cozy pub in a great location! Staff were nice and there was plenty of seating. It can get super busy on weekends. There is outdoor seating that is great when it's warm! It is family friendly:)

Only been here once for a family gathering and I thought the place was great. Lovely staff and the chefs do a really good job in the kitchen. I have to say, the Salmon Gravlax was amazing and i'd actually go back just for that starter! 👏👍

Food, as always, amazing! Vince is a star behind the bar.

Good local pub - well-located by Brockwell Park, with charming wood-panelled interior. Drinks can be on the expensive side for the area, but food is better value (particularly on the many days of the week they have a promotion of some kind on).

Stopped in here for a quick lunch. The guy running they place was great and doing everything he could but the food was pretty sub par. There chicken pie was full of bones and the fries were oily and fairly unpleasant. Maybe better to just have a drink here.

Probably the best Sunday roast in Herne Hill. Lovely selection of wine, good atmosphere, delicious veggie roast only slightly marred by staff seeming to air their differences in public!

Very nice pub but we were quite offended by the sneaky service charge, unannounced and labelled “sc” on the bill. Just tell me and I wouldn’t have a problem. Looses 2 stars for underhand exploitation tactics

Booked big table in front to the big screen. Surely the best screen in South London in terms of having also having quality food and drink. Landlord is a star as well - always keen to ensure everything is top draw. Best pub in this area

Felix and the rest of the team were lovely. Everyone super kind and super helpful ✨

Nice food and service, lovely outside on a sunny day. Very popular.

It's a pub, nice enough. Would go here again if I am in the neighborhood.

Good spot with very friendly and welcoming staff. Wide selection of beverages available. Enjoyed a few drinks in the sun.

Nice atmosphere but average food and service.

Enjoyed a private event upstairs over the Easter wkd. The experience just reinforced a previously held opinion that this is a quality establishment through & through.

This is the general problem I have with a lot of London pubs - paying an extortionate price, for p*ss poor service. I ordered a round which was far more expensive than I thought - when I asked for a receipt, the manager told me to wait and acted very rude. It’s not a big deal, I’m just asking for a receipt. She clearly did not want to be there and did not take pride in her service.

Nice pub. Quiz on Tuesdays. Food is good, however, they serve something claiming to be a crumble, but it isn't - avoid. Subtract three stars for that. I even asked beforehand if it was a real crumble and was assured it was. Poor.

Had little interaction with servers and had to flag down for drinks and to order food. Asked to remove the £15 service charge at the end, to be spoken to so rudely. The server asked us why we were removing it and once we had explained he said we don’t get paid much. Which I sympathise with having worked in hospitality for 6 years. But felt as if he was trying to guilt trip us into paying service charge even though he had not been our waiter all evening? He then told us he didn’t “give a s*** and just wanted to go home”. Amongst other things, I can say hands down the rudest server I have ever come across. We paid over £100 for a mediocre meal with extremely rude service. We spoke to the supervisor who explained to us he was new and it was an ongoing issue, but he also didn’t seem to care much about what we had to say. It’s a shame and we won’t be going back to eat there. Would love for a manager to action this as I have never been spoken to so rudely. My whole table left shocked and it ruined the whole evening.

The Sunday here is pretty decent and has a very lively atmosphere for lunch. Good service and fair pricing

Friendly local with a classic pub vibe, lovely staff and reliable food (burger is ace & great value on Mondays).

Staff really need to go to customer service school

Decent pub on Dulwich Road opposite Brockwell Lido. Two cask beers on handpump when I last visited. Lots of outdoor seating some of it covered.

i wish they sell dreams and hopes

Great local pub both for a pint and a sit down meal.

Do not book your event at this pub. My friends and I booked our Christmas social at the Prince Regent last December and experienced truly terrible customer service. The owner, Felix Pearce, is rude, unreasonable and appears not to value his customers at all. There are far better pubs nearby and I would recommend that you take your business there.

Been coming here for years on and off..,just gets better and better food is excellent always hot and really tasty service great, 5 star easily. Only place around Herne Hill that does a super cheese board. Thank you so much Prince regent

Good outdoor area, staff were super friendly and there's no faffing about with an app to order drinks.

Yeah this is a nice 👌 family pub that people who have kids can enjoy their self with their kids and their is the park just a cross the road from the prince regiont pub

Unacceptable behaviour. We booked a lunch for 40 people, prepaid, and when informed them 4 HOURS before the lunch that one out of 40 people couldn’t make it, they refused to refund us, and hung up the phone!

Very unfriendly staff, very arrogant!

The best pub in the area by a dist

Proper trouble trying to even get a response when attempting to book upstairs space. Funny vibe nowadays. Used to be a good boozer with lovely staff.

Quiet locals spot, friendly staff

Great atmosphere. Large tables and plenty of space. Friendly, prompt service at the bar too. Loved it.

It used to be a lovely, friendly pub with great food. Unfortunately the new(ish) owner is rude to customers, horrible to his staff and rapidly ruining the place. Hopefully this muppet will move on soon.

I celebrated my 30th here at the weekend and Felix, Natalia and the rest of the staff were so friendly and helpful with setting up the room and organising everything. I had a brilliant night and would recommend the private function rooms at the Prince Regent to anyone looking to celebrate!

Fine pub for a few drinks. Although always really busy, there's not much of an atmosphere.

Ate here today and several hours later my mouth is still raw from the amount of salt used. Chefs shouldn't add salt to make food tasty, that is up to the customer. Off to drink another litre of water.

Fantastic exhibition by nima javan

With hostile looks and whisperings from the bar staff, this pub did not feel like a safe place to be. The claims that the kitchen was closed, despite having taken food orders just moments earlier from other groups emphasised that we were not welcome. Glad I didn't waste any of my money here, and will not be returning.

Several recent visits left me underwhelmed after standing at the bar seeing everyone else served until I was left the staff decided to have a chat leaving me feeling invisible. Finally served a warm Guinness pulled well short of a pint in a glass still warm from the dishwasher. At current prices mugged off is putting it lightly.....

The best Sunday lunch ever. I love this pub. Great service, great menu, nice and relaxed vibe and really friendly staff. I think it's the best pub in Herne Hill / Brixton.

Absolutely fantastic service! Please give special credit to Nass, he was brilliant!

Good pint of Guinness, good staff, lovely atmosphere, marvellous

Great when you can grab a bench outside. Food is good, although the fish and chips comes with skinny chips which was a bit disappointing and the peas tasted off. Otherwise service was good and food hot.

This is our favourite boozer in Herne Hill, however the food has really gone downhill. We used to dine here at least once a week. Last time we came in for dinner we noticed how every dish we ordered was bland and average, something we expect in a home counties pub, not London. Today we had the same experience. Bland & average, but expect high London prices. I hope the owners of this lovely pub will restore their kitchen to its former glory at some point, untill then, it'll remain the boozer of choice in Herne Hill.

Lovely Roast Beef Dinner, staff were great very friendly. Would definitely go there again, on a Monday night there is a meal deal two dishes for 12.00 either starter /main or main/dessert.

Bit tight on the table front but it was Friday night so not unexpected. There’s a nice friendly vibe about this pub with really friendly staff & decent pints swiftly served.

Had a terrible experience years ago and vowed to never go back. Ended up there again today and had a great time. Food was delicious and staff were friendly and attentive.

Great location, fast service and tasty beer. I loved it and it was not too full. Would come here again every time!

Landlady was super amazing and friendly! Great pub and beer! Would have scored higher but the blonde young lad behind the bar was rude, uninterested and slow. Would still go back though

Awful! We arrived at 9:45 to be told they were closed! Even the sign on the door said open and people still drinking outside. The girl was super rude about it to. AVOID!

Really awful experience. We'd booked a space for a 30th birthday party, and asked the pub to provide a very basic spread of finger food for £50. What arrived was some hula hoops (still in bags) chips and hummus - for which they attempted to charge £100. When questioned, the owner of the pub took a member of our party outside, and became extremely aggressive defending his extortionate mark-up. If you add up the amount we spent booking the space, and the amount we drank at the bar, we were probably some of his best customers that night. And his response was to try and rip us off. Be very wary of this place and the owner.

Avoid private hire at all costs. The manager Felix is the biggest jobsworth there is. He charged me an extortionate amount of money for a couple of bowls of chips and some pitta. Instead of explaining the situation to me, he pulled me outside to talk to him and when my friend came over he told her that he wouldn't discuss it with her around. He then dragged someone else outside to talk and when I (the bill payer) went to discuss it with him he told me that he wouldn't discuss it with me there!? He is incredibly rude, selfish and ruined what was a lovely night with great staff. He needs an immediate crash course in customer service. Vile man

Really friendly helpful staff and delicious great value lunch-time food. Seven dishes on offer all at £7. The desserts were terrific too. What a find, almost opposite Brockwell Park Lido.

Great service and garden space for drinking

Just up the road from me plus it was the first boozer i came across when i got dropped off from work.

Ok, so when I was with my friend I smelled a familiar smell of something that not be smoked around here I sat down and the Servant staff Natalia told me and my friend that if we want him to smoke something a bit cheeky around her that is not allowed. At first, I was quite angry at the fact that she had said this and I was thinking is it because I'm black that you are saying this. After all, I know for a fact that the person that was smoking that's I smelt previously was coming from somebody that was white. From that point I was determined to only have one drink and move on however it was comfortable and nice to sit down and have a drink and chill and talk with my mate so then I decided to have another drink, after further watching Natalia work around the area I notice that she may have said something of the same calibre to another two new arrivals. I think she is a good server I just feel that she might only be saying it to people that she may suspect does the thing that she suspected of myself and my friend at the time maybe am wrong..... I think if she says the thing that she said to me to everybody, that would be fine.

I used to love this place years ago - great food and service. Today, the staff could not be bothered. Everything was a massive effort and they couldn’t be less interested in serving you. The waitress said “if you order any more that means I’ll have to come out again - it’s inconvenient”. Imagine Vicky Pollard from Little Britain waiting tables and there you have it.

This pub has so much potential but needs investment from the owner. The toilets were flooded, the handle had come off the sinks and overall the place looks tired. Which is a shame as the building itself is lovely. Some staff were lovely but others were abrupt and rude. They didn’t warn us that the kitchen was closing and had no bar snacks or crisps on offer. Left early to go elsewhere. Also lots of people seemed to be going to the upstairs private room despite the rule of 6 which seems suspicious. Overall a poor experience.

Great service from the lady from Roumania

Bit disappointed as it seemed to be a bit chaotic. We were all served our steaks and had to wait for cutlery... The basics were missing. The chip quality was also not very good, and the steak wasn't the best cut. The mushroom sauce was very thin. The team were friendly enough, it just needed some organisation.

Pukka place, lively service from the staff, top bevvies...deffo a place to go for a good night out 👌👍👍👍

I like the pub, been plenty of times, but I have a speech impediment and they've hung up on me twice now when I've been trying to book a table.

I went there with a friend last Tuesday for dinner and pints as walk ins, and were told it was steak night. We both had the 14oz Ribeye which was cooked to perfection, served with a tasty peppercorn sauce. Very friendly service, big kudos to my local pub!

Unfortunately a very disappointing experience. We walked in to enquire about a table and were immediately shouted at by who I can only presume was the manager. We asked about a table and were rudely and dismissively told no, without even any eye contact. While I appreciate they were busy, it was a very unkind way to treat a potential customer and we definitely won't be returning.
