The Princess of Shoreditch in Hackney

Cosy pub. Service is a bit slow and the place sometimes smells of sewage which is quite unpleasant

Lovely veggie roast dinner, I avoided the mushroom gravy, not sure why places ever do a mushroom gravy as I know a few veggies that don't eat it and it just looks awful, there's nothing like a bit of veggie bisto to sort that out. Anyway food was amazing and yummy 😋

Worst experience! We booked and went with a delay for diner (only 25 minutes at 8pm30). They took 50 pounds from my bank account, because we did not show us but we were there. Of course, they did not give us any food because the kitchen was closed but 5 five minutes before they checked that, they were ok to give us food. It does not make any sense. They said they called me but they never did, I will ask my phone company to prove it. And I will call my bank too. This is my first bad comment!

Terrible experience! The worst place we have eaten at. Prices disproportionate to the portions and choice. Terrible service

Been here for Sunday roast, my personal opinion is that it's too expensive for what you get. Beef was ok, a bit fatty. Pork seemed like hospital food: white, wet and not crunchy. Potatoes were great. Veggies were served in a small pot to share with the table, a bit poor considering £28 for mains. Gluten free Sunday roast suitable for coeliacs, including gravy but excluding Yorkshire puddings.

We went for a Sunday roast based on reviews and we weren't disappointed. I used to come to this oub for drinks after work and it is also a lovely place for eating in. We had the beef and chicken roast with a starter and dessert too. For 2 courses it is 34 pounds which is reasonable. The meat came with potatoes, carrots, kale. All was very delicious and filling. The grace and sauces were excellent! We did have to wait a bit between the starter and the main (like 30 mins or so) but we enjoyed the meal. For dessert we shared the toffee pudding and this was very very tasty!! The waitress was also very nice.

Really good restaurant tucked away off the main shoreditch area. Nice bar but the food is the real gem. It's a small menu but each dish is top quality. It's pricey but was worth every penny. Well worth checking out

Pequeño pub peculiar con un gran almuerzo del domingo. Teníamos pollo, carne y cerdo. Todo delicioso con un montón de verduras y patatas. Los lados del queso de coliflor eran maravillosos y el queso estaba lleno de sabor. Para el pudín, el caramelo de palo era ligero y delicioso. La torte de chocolate tenía un buen sabor y el cazador furtivo Lincolnshire era impresionante. Buena selección de bebidas sin alcohol y tuvimos una camarera que era su primer turno y ella hizo un muy buen trabajo!

The food was really tasty although it took a very long time to come and the sides were lacking in quantity. Additionally, the vegetarian roast came with no vegetarian gravy and the roast we specified as dairy free due to allergies came with a Yorkshire pudding containing dairy. The severs were friendly but they didn’t solve the issues quickly even after we mentioned them repeatedly. The setting was really nice although a bit cold.

I booked this for our party of 8 people as we had some family coming over to London to try a typical Sunday roast. I had wanted to try this place based on review articles online but sadly it was very underwhelming! The portion sizes were small, the meal was Luke warm and the vegetables came in a small plate that we have to share between 8 people. It was a rip off charging £19 for that and I wouldn’t recommend at all. Very disappointing as the photos on Google look like it’s an actual gastro pub with high quality food but it’s quite misleading, even the decor . Don’t be fooled, it’s just an average pub that you could find on any ol road.

A cute pub that starts quiet but gets busy quickly. It’s close to lots of offices of many cool companies, being in a very popular part of London, and many people come for a quick drink. Beer selection is ok, nothing amazing, but plenty on offer for a range of tastes.

Fantastic food set in a classic style pub with plenty of beer and wine options. We can for the Sunday roast and it did not disappoint! Medium rare sirloin, chicken breast cooked to perfection accompanied with the usual pile of roast goodies - Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, honey glazed carrots, savoy cabbage and a gallon of gravy. Portion sizes are certainly not huge, so do keep that in mind if you’re hungry.

Really poor initial reception but sympathy given as one staff member was left to deal when others were doing nothing behind the bar. Stood for about 5 minutes soaked from the rain and no one took charge of the arrival situation. .Standing there obviously aimless and waiting with all staff not engaging at all despite having a number clearly doing nothing. Upon speaking to FOH they explained table not ready but not offered to go to bar or stand anywhere particularly. When finally seated much of the wine list not available. Roast was good but frozen roast potato. Cold and solid on inside. Forgot mustard upon asking. Was rushed off table despite other tables being offered coffee which was never offered despite spending >£100 a head and being there less than 2 hours as they were late seating. Pretty poor service to be honest and was charged for it . £450 for 4 persons. I expect better than this guys, you knew we were coming. Generally a little embarrassing for my family visit I’m afraid and definitely feel treated differently to other customers despite obviously probably paying more.

Used to be great and now it's just terrible...I left my food and the service was passive aggressive at best. Only 5 people in there and it used to be full, so people are clearly voting with their feet. I look forward to the next Chapter for the Princess.

One of the most unappealing roasts when it’s served - just a plate of beige looks like a bad school dinner (veg and gravy comes separately). Potatoes not very crispy and chicken a bit dry, the rest tasted good. Stingy portions though for the price, not enough veg for the size of our table despite asking for more and receiving an even smaller extra portion. Sticky toffee pudding really nice but again very stingy portion.

Excellent food and service. Extensive wine menu. Fantastic experience overall.

One of my favourites lately. Do not expect a pub but a nice restaurant. Good lighting (was around 10 percent high last Thursday), nice interior, good acoustics, no music -i guess-. Great skin contacts as well as others. Heard the chef is Northern European and menu is constantly changing.

Had a fabulous meal here. Such an exciting menu! I was blown away by the creativity, my beef was cooked to perfection, and the Jaffa cake was sublime. Loved the free scones and jellies at the end, a really nice touch. A great hidden gem tucked away in Shoreditch. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

I came to this pub years ago and had a great experience even at another local pub earlier in the day someone said oh the princess is great. I don’t know if peoples acceptance of high price and low produce on a plate is now the new normality in this weird race to the bottom society. However I rarely write a review but the meal I ordered yesterday was an absolute joke. The fish dish was meant to be pollock. I was informed pollock was not available and monkfish had replaced it. Everyone’s mains come out (roasts) and I get basically got a starter sized piece of fish that to me resembled a size of a scallop. £35 for two courses and someone thinks it’s funny to serve this in the photo posted as a main dish with a side of roast potatoes? Whilst the meat eaters scoff hundreds of grams of meat and veg for the same price? I did inform the lovely waiter this was not on at all, and they cooked up another portion of fish in similar size (very generous 😂). Totally and utterly lost for words. If you don’t have your main fish option don’t bother substituting it (for knows what the size of pollock was being offered) In fact don’t bother having fish on the menu unless it’s sold as a starter at a starters price. At least you made me laugh as it was comical. Total disappointment totally unacceptable.

£ 130 por una rodaja de carne de res, pato en trozos pequeños, 2 entrantes pequeños, 3 bebidas, 1 postre, desgracia. Tendría más carne para nuestra familia en el almuerzo del domingo.

For one slice of beef 34£, small potion duck 32£, total rip off

Heard the chef keeps changing in this place, we went a week ago and the food was average. The scones were very good though but everything else was average and the menu didn’t make a lot of sense as in things just didn’t go together…we were sharing and flavours were just random. The service was a bit slow too… Won’t be going back.

Had such an incredibly disappointing experience three weeks back. We were a party of four. Booked last minute for Sunday roast. A CATALOGUE of errors. Waiter forgot to put our order in the system and didn't realise until we asked whats happened to our order after 40mins. He apologised and tried to make up for it by over promising what we could complimentary before revoking a no of promised items. We all ordered roasts and we had the pleasure of sharing one tiny side dish of roasted veg between the four of us (we had three tiny potatoes, some slither of carrots and a cold Yorkshire pudding). Desserts were nice - but it took us chasing to put in our order. Two of us were not given any cutlery which again resulted in us chasing the waiter who lacked any interest in wanting to assist. Had the pleasure of having the bill put on the table without even asking for it (as well as no one asking how our meal was). A really disappointing, over priced and sour experience. Won't go back, nor would I recommend.

The Sunday Roast experience is disappointing in terms of value for money. The roast beef was average. The gravy sauce lacked flavor. Fortunately the dessert, including the toffee pudding, made up for the meal. Good atmosphere in the room otherwise.

Beautiful Food. Wonderful BEER. Nice cheerful folk. Loved every second. A Must experience in London.

Extremely rude and unwelcoming waiter. Despite the sign ‘Pub & Dining Room’ you’re apparently not welcome for just drinks. Never again.

Came for a Sunday roast with my family following good experiences at Smokehouse and Albion. The portions were tiny while the prices were massive. Low quality food. Super noisy. Never again

Entré aquí con la oportunidad de pasar y ver una cola esperando que se abriera, siempre una buena señal. Nos dieron un par de asientos en el bar para la cena del domingo, el personal era maravilloso, extra especial para nosotros era la camarera era tiene enfermedad celíaca que es mi pareja, así que esto ayuda masivamente cuando comemos fuera que un restaurante entiende nuestras necesidades. Rápidamente proporcionaron el menú que era adecuado para nosotros. La comida era muy sabrosa, no porciones masivas, la carne de res era demasiado rosa para mí (aunque se aconseja que se sirve de esta manera y mi compañero dijo que era el mejor pedazo de carne que ha comido) El vino era delicioso. . en general no es barato, pero el ambiente y el medio ambiente era encantador. Tomamos 3 copas de vino, un café, dos asados de dos platos - £ 138. así que es una cantidad justa. Clasificación de 4 estrellas porque las verduras no estaban muy bien cocinadas (las chirivías eran muy duras, así que las dejamos así que eso fue una pena) y las porciones podrían haber sido más grandes con algunas patatas más. El personal era excepcional.

Just had an unforgettable meal at The Princess of Shoreditch, and WOW—everything on the menu was on point! The Iberico pork? Absolute showstopper. And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, do not skip the choc choux bun—pure magic! Oh, and the scones? 🔥🔥 Head chef Nikita (yes, as in the MasterChef Professionals UK winner!) is bringing her A-game, and it's a total must-visit. Bonus: it’s small dog friendly! Perfect spot for foodies and furry friends alike.

El pub de la planta baja puede ser bastante ordinario, sin embargo, cuando subes las escaleras de caracol otro mundo te espera. Una zona de comer bastante pequeña, pero todavía con buen espacio entre las mesas. Un ambiente relajado con un personal atento! Comí el sarro de ostras con una cerveza pálida como entrada. Deliciosamente servido con rebanadas muy finas de pepino y pan ligero. Mi principal fue la codorniz, con patatas nuevas y un vaso de Burdeos: extraordinario! No soy un gran postreero, así que eso fue todo para mí. Recomendaría este lugar en cualquier momento si mantienen este estándar como «pub grub»!

This is indeed a Shoreditch gem for beyond great, creative mouthwatering food. Everything was made from scratch with the finest seasonal and best quality produce. The flavours come from a range of Asian/Indian mix with a British twist Steak Tartare/Rima’s Chaat and the Octopus as starters were exquisite as were the mains , particularly the Monkfish cooked to perfection The deserts were so different and well executed…delicious,. Great selection of wines The young chef , Nikita who won Masterchef professional last year, is extremely skilled churning out these culinary delights . It is a beautiful cosy restaurant , service was superb and for the quality and experience of this restaurant it is very reasonably priced .We will definitely be back soon

Excellent meal - we had the 2 course roast (with dessert). Impeccable service, can’t fault any of it. Perfect choice for a relaxing weekend lunch

Esta es, de hecho, una joya de Shoreditch para más allá de una comida deliciosa y creativa. Todo fue hecho desde cero con los mejores productos de temporada y mejor calidad. Los sabores provienen de una gama de mezcla asiática / india con un toque británico Steak Tartare/Rima’s Chaat y el Pulpo como entrantes fueron exquisitos al igual que la comida principal, particularmente el Monkfish cocinado a la perfección Los desiertos eran tan diferentes y bien ejecutados... deliciosos, . Gran selección de vinos La joven chef, Nikita que ganó Masterchef profesional el año pasado, es extremadamente hábil produciendo estas delicias culinarias Es un hermoso restaurante acogedor , el servicio fue excelente y por la calidad y experiencia de este restaurante es de precio muy razonable Sin duda volveremos pronto

Two courses for £36 😍 (on Sunday, not sure about midweek). We fancied a roast and although it looked bland, everything was delicious and great portions. The sticky toffee pudding was close to beating Hawksmoor's Sticky Toffee Pudding (sticky toffee pudding lover here). Staff were all friendly and lovely, when we visited there were friends catching up and families together. Great chilled atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back. Drinks were also 👍 the cocktails were well balanced and made. Great selection of wine too. 🍷

Total gem of a pub with absolutely delicious food, super exciting menu and great service, we’ll definitely be going back soon to try out the roast!

Angus and his team made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. The food and wine / cocktails were incredible - I’d recommend to anyone!

Went last night & it was fantastic. Had cured sea bass to start, pork chop & then cardemon custard. Everything was super fresh & tasty. The winner of professional Masterchef Nikita Pathakji is the chef there - say no more! Treat yourself!

Our expectations were pretty high visiting Princess of Shoreditch, having followed Nikita’s career after her Masterchef win last year. I think it’s fair to say they were met, nay, exceeded with nearly every dish. We got the lunch menu which was excellent value, but once we realised how good the food was we couldn’t resist getting some of the snacks and other starters. The flavours were bold, precise and delicious, displaying a deep understanding of flavour profiles from a huge range of global cuisines. The Japanese/style octopus dish was superb but there were surprises everywhere: from the snacks (who knew blueberry and anchovy belonged on the same plate - they do!!) to the utterly insane plum desert, which was the best dessert I’ve had for years. The only thing worth changing would be the addition of some herbs or something-or-other to the onion purée in the pollack dish; but when you’re palate is getting turned up like this, even perfectly cooked pollack and umami rich onion and carrot can feel comparatively safe. Service was warm and efficient, albeit in a quiet restaurant. Can’t wait to see where this young and superbly talented chef’s career leads in the future.

Popped in for a pint. Good prices, friendly staff

Absolutely loved our dinner experience here. Food is incredible, staff super friendly and helpful and a good selection on offer. Will definitely be back.

This was the best pub Sunday roast I have had. It was perfect in every way. The sort of roast lunch you can only produce at home normally. Just delicious roast beef - perfect and I do mean perfect roast potatoes and lovely fresh vegetables. Starters were equally delicious if a little on the small side. Staff were delightful. It’s just 5 stars all round.

Fantastic high end gastropub. Georgina was wonderful and we really enjoyed our meal! Very classy service and experience, food was top notch.

A Shoreditch gem for exceptional food in a relaxed setting. Lovely service, Georgina took amazing care of us.

Beyond fabulous tasty creative and satisfying food. Lovely friendly staff , great selection of drinks and such a great vibe. A must for lunch or supper anytime and now my go to destination when in town. Superb.

Had an amazing Sunday lunch. Food and service first class.

Lovely meal all courses unexpectedly delicious and the service is welcoming and always with genuine smiles.. the starters are wow factors, the main looks simple but when you taste it the experience is another wow factor as is the dessert- sticky toffee pudding

I've been meaning to write this review for 6 weeks, and despite the timeframe, I can still remember the meal as if it was yesterday. This hidden gem in Shoreditch has the perfect gastropub feel - with a very chilled atmosphere but with Michelin starred food. The front of house staff were super friendly and really attentive. The food is exquisite! We even had the honour of saying hello to the head chef - she's done an incredible job with the menu. Don't miss the blue cheese martini - it's off the chart! Absolute stand outs were the cheddar gougères, octopus and tarte tatin. My partner (avid chaat lover) was also a huge fan of the chaat. Definitely check this place out!

Beautiful veg nut roast with a delicious starter. Service was friendly and efficient.

We came here for dinner on Saturday night. The food was exceptional - Nikita is an incredible chef. Our server Angus was also great. Would highly recommend

Brilliant Sunday roast. We had one beef and one chicken. Both awesome, best service and just what we were after. Loved it.

Myself and my wife recently visited London from US, and during our visit went to this pub, The Princess of Shoreditch. It was an remarkable experience. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. As we were not able to taste all their dishes, we ended up going there for second time. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. “Hands down, some of the best food we have had recently. From appetizers to desserts, this pub exceeded all our expectations. During our stay in London, we had been to many similar places, but this one truly stands out. The attention to detail and commitment to guest service set it apart from the rest. This place exceeded our expectations. You do not find a place where every element comes together so perfectly. I highly recommend this place.

I visited the princess last Thursday with two friends and it was absolutely amazing! It was their soft launch with their new chef Nikita previous winner of masterchef professionals and you can definitely tell by the delightful food. We were served by Elise and she made sure to give us the perfect service. We were given complimentary canopies and herb butter and scones, then started with the Beef and Oyster Tartare, Chaat and the Octopus to choose a favourite would be impossible as I was blown away by all three. For a main I had the Lamb and it was absolutely delicious. Than for dessert we had the trifle, Tarte Tatin and the Chocolate Choux Bun which I tried my best to finish even though I was stuffed. Overall an exceptional meal, Thank you Princess.

Went with coworkers and everyone loved it! We all ended up ordering appetizers, entrees, and dessert because the food was so good.

Wow! We happened upon this restaurant on their opening night with their new Chef. It is OUTSTANDING! The creativity and taste is out of this world. Our entire table felt this was easily one of the best dinners we have all had. We travel the world and this is one of the finest food experiences there is.

The food is sensational, great wine selection and exceptional service. Thank you!

Really good value for money set lunch. Top quality food well presented. A very enjoyable late Thursday lunch.

In a word: perfect!!!! From food to service. Do not hesitate

What a find! Stumbled in here for dinner without knowing its reputation or even its name. Dined solo and was treated to complimentary cheese scones with walnut butter (even better than the delightful gougeres I ordered), followed by an inspired take on fish and peas: crispy roasted cod with wasabi pea puree and nori chips. Gracious service and comfortable vibe too; this place gives gastropubs a good name.

Superb surprise, 2 rooms 2 atmospheres but only good things from start to finish.

The chef is really talented, superb cuisine, great service, wonderful experience. The upstairs dining room is magnificent. Well done

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Princess of Shoreditch with my colleagues, and I must say, it was the best meal I have had in ages. The presentation of the food was nothing short of artistic. Each dish was meticulously crafted, showcasing the chef's attention to detail and passion for culinary excellence. The flavours were equally impressive, with a perfect balance of taste and texture in every bite. The starters were exquisite and I thoroughly enjoyed the Tatare dish; it was the best I have ever tasted so far. It was evident that the chef put a lot of thought and creativity into each dish. In conclusion, Princess of Shoreditch offers an unparalleled dining experience with its exquisite food, impeccable service, and talented chef. I would highly recommend this restaurant to my friends and family, and I look forward to visiting again soon.

Our Father's Day meal at The Princess of Shoreditch fell considerably short of expectations. Seated at a ridiculously slanted table upstairs, we found ourselves constantly adjusting glassware to prevent slippage, and the overly thin gravy pooled awkwardly on one side of the plate. Portion sizes were surprisingly small, and despite ordering four roasts, the meals were presented without any attempt at plating. The final bill of £180 for four roasts, two soft drinks, a few glasses of wine, and a measly amount of vegetables felt exorbitant. While the staff were friendly, the overall experience was underwhelming. Despite its reputation as a Shoreditch staple, we found little to commend and will not be returning

Superb food. Three choices for each course. The three of us each had a different first and second course and all were excellent! Wine list diverse and excellent. Service impecable from a young Australian waitress . You won’t be disappointed here! Thanks

very expensive, very small portions. They take a long time to serve. very bad

Such a great atmosphere and beautiful interiors! We had the 3 course Sunday roast with the cured duck and cured salmon starters and then pork and chicken roast dinners. Really generous portion sizes, delicious meat and huge Yorkshire puddings! The chocolate mousse dessert was equally fantastic. Really great wine and cocktail menus too, I’d definitely recommend trying the Shoreditch old fashioned. We will definitely be back to try the weekday a la carte menu!

Just ridiculously good food. Their new chef is a creative genius, with the flavours matching the beauty of each dish. The chicken with nam jim was beautiful, the octopus with doughnut (I know, bear with me) was simply extraordinary. The mains were eye opening in their flavour, with the Sichuan style pork making me want to order another one again. Service is excellent and a beautiful wine list to boot. Whisper it (as I’m sure it’s a curse to say) but this place is going to get a ⭐️

I had been wanting to try a Sunday roast menu in London for awhile and came across this place on Time Out. I was blown away by the quality of all the dishes and hospitality of the staff. I was dining solo and they made me feel very comfortable and not rushed. The menu was a good value and sticky toffee pudding was to die for! Loved this place so much I came back the next day with friends for after-dinner drinks and dessert. Looking forward to my next opportunity to visit when I come back to London!

Hugely underrated restaurant, excellent food and wines and great service with really knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended!

Superb food and waiting staff. Very accommodating when the upstairs dining room became impossible to eat in due to two tables of shrieking patrons. We moved downstairs to the much quieter bar with no hassle and everything was done for us to make us welcome. The amuse bouche cheese and chive scones were as light as a feather and really tasty. The rest was equally delicious. We will deffo come back

Schönes Ambiente. Sassen im Restaurant oben , wo es kaum Gäste gab. Vorreservierung nicht notwendig. Essen war gut, aber sehr gesalzen. Freundliches Personal. Preis Leistung stimmt nicht, es ist zu teuer für das was man bekommt.

Sunday lunch to celebrate a birthday. A lovely gastro pub in a great location. The food was just delicious and beautifully presented. The service was excellent. Friendly and attentive. We had a really lovely time.

Was looking for a nice place to have lunch around Shoreditch and found the online reviews of this place very positive. Planned to stop here on our day out and was not disappointed. Friendly staff and great food. The place has a traditional feel with some very nice fittings (upstairs mirror, ceiling lightings) making this place have a contemporary, but classical building feel (lovely Iron spiral staircase while may not be wheelchair accessible, was a lovely feature of the building). The Food did not disappoint given its history and background of chefs that have contributed to its menu and direction. We planned to go here based on location and online reviews… will come back next trip to london for sure. Very enjoyable lunchtime dining experience… I said i would review

Amazing food. And very accessible pricing for fine dining quality. Great menu with lots of exciting choices brilliantly executed. We tried many things across the menu to share around the table but some of us ended up reluctant to share! Started off with a good sign - unique yummy-wow bread (melty scones) and indulgent canapés/tasters. Highlights for me were the dreamy creamy artichoke dish, the lamb, the green beans with Stilton and caramelised onions and walnuts. Tried but couldn’t pick a fave desert, as they were all great - tart tatin with a tamarind twist so crunchy and perfect, wonderfully rich and aerated chocolate mousse topped with crunchy caramelised hazelnuts with financier on the side, and lovely light and refreshing rhubarb trifle. Really nice that the pub bit downstairs is dog friendly. Perfectly comfortable but decor downstairs not really congruent with the standout food - maybe that will come. Different vibe upstairs but no dogs. A great find and under-exposed gem of the Shoreditch foodie scene. Can’t wait to go back.

I found the Princess Of Shoreditch to be a real hidden gem. The new A La Carte menu did not disappoint, all three courses blew me away. Michelin standard at a reasonable price, will definitely be coming back.

Completely blown away by the lunch we had here. The menu read simply, but the dishes and flavours were next level. We were served warm scones as a bread course. The dish of the day was actually a starter - artichoke served many ways. It looked unassuming but the flavour was mad. The octopus and cured sea bream also excellent. For mains, there was a knockout lamb dish with the biggest lamb croquette you've ever seen. We also enjoyed a trout dish with an oyster sauce, and pork cheeks which had a beautiful buzzy Sichuan element. Along with desserts (tarte tatin = amazing, & trifle = delicious), and friendly service, this was one of the best meals I've had. Will be back.

Outstanding lunch. Clever, modern and delicious flavours. Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable service. Extremely well priced. Surprised it’s not in the Michelin guide.

A short walk from London Liverpool Street Station, I visited here with a friend for my birthday. My friend was desperate to sample Chef Thomas' food, and we were in luck, because he was working and it was his last weekend there. They brought us out some beautiful Gougeres complimentary. We enjoyed a range of cocktails. To start, my friend had the seabream, rhubarb, cucumber and horseradish, whilst I had the leek fondue. We shared a specialty from the chef; a beef salad which was beautiful. I really enjoyed the Hake with Kohl Rabi, Turnips and Mussels. My friend had the duck, carrot, black garlic and pickled rose. For dessert I had the blood orange, fennel and buttermilk, my friend opted for the visually stunning rhubarb souffle. Overall, service was very good, despite them being exceptionally busy. Pace of service was great, quality of food brilliant. Good value food, would visit again. If you get seated upstairs, don't drink too much- coming down the spiral staircase is a little hair raising!

Had lunch here yesterday and it was a fantastic experience. The service was super friendly and helpful. The best thing was the food - absolutely delicious, creative and surprising! We had the set menu and it was a bargain, we ate every morsel. Atmosphere was great. My only gripe is the chairs were a bit on the hard side!

My four work colleagues and I had lunch at the Princess : choosing the £28.00 set menu for 3 courses; what an experience it turned out to be. The food was delicious and full of flavour; the Chocolate mousse and Hazelnut financier was truly scrumptious and very different from anything I had tasted before. The service was exceptional, add this restaurant to the places to eat; you will not be disappointed. A big shout out to the Chef; you made five foodies very happy.

We had an incredibly nice evening. The chef spoiled us with excellent food. The new octopus creation in particular is an absolute dream. It's worth eating here just for that. The drinks were also of a high standard. If you don't go here, you're missing out.

Excellent roast beef. Cozy environment. Friendly staff. Advised

It was a really calm place for a Sunday roast. Vegetarian option was delicious!

My son took me here for Mother's day. The food was excellent as well as the service. The staff were very friendly.

Great Sunday roast and good service

Awesome Sunday lunch, the beef just melted in my mouth. Tidy wine list as well.

Tasty food although portions were on the small side. Good wine and cocktail list. Nice and quiet atmosphere for Saturday lunch

Waited around 90 minutes for our meals to come out. The server was friendly but we weren’t given updates that it was going to take such a long time. Food was ok, but not worth coming back. Was disappointing as I brought friends who were just visiting London.

My experience at the Princess of Shoreditch has been nothing short of delightful. This charming gastropub stands out for its sophisticated selection of dishes and the quality of its ingredients. The service is truly exceptional, making everyone feel at home. Each dish we tried was a testament to the culinary expertise behind the menu. I particularly recommend starting with the shared nibbles, which are perfect for setting the tone of a lovely meal. The ambiance is wonderfully cozy, making it an ideal spot for dinner. Additionally, their Sunday roast is a must-try – it's not only generous in portion but also super flavourful. I can't wait to come back very soon!

We came here for Sunday lunch and enjoyed the food and pub atmosphere. We opted for the 3 courses and I had the salmon (nice and fresh), sirloin of beef with potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy (generous portion and well cooked beef), the cauliflower cheese (great side to have with the roast) and the sticky toffee pudding (delicious). All the staff were friendly and the service was great.

Sunday roast is really good but a bit too expensive

Incredible spot, food was outstanding. Had some incredible recommendations for wine pairings with our mains and had our incredible Waiter Dan help with recommendations for the menu throughout the entire meal Will certainly be coming back again

As roast dinners go the meat and the cauliflower cheese and the gravy 10 out of 10 potatoes dry inside veg slightly under for us , deserts were OK whole experience 7 out of 10

Pub food trying at elevated price point / portioning. Not an awful place to eat by any means but totally missed the mark on what it wanted to be. Appetizers were good but mains disappointing. Not a particularly notable experience nor value for money. The beef cheek dish in the photo was almost £30, the plate looks a bit sad. Didn’t help that the staff were a bit cold. I misordered a dish and asked for what I thought I had, when I was corrected the server plopped the dish on the table with a strangely antagonistic attitude. Classy.

Sunday roast. Just outstanding. They accommodated a solo (me) diner, thank you! The cocktails were amazing

The most incredible food and service. Nice pub, very unassuming. We would definitely go back again!

Mixed review. Firstly, this gastropub unfortunately does not play in the same ballgame as their sister restaurants Pig & Butcher and Smokehouse (which are both excellent). We had a roast here with a group of 10. The food was delicious, but very stingy on sides. We had about 1 potato per person and 1/4 of a carrot. Unfortunately one of the groups orders were missed and had to wait 25 minutes for their main. Staff were not attentive and lacked initiative to check on the table, offer drinks, check on waters, and clear the table. Toilets were quite dirty as well and the general atmosphere and energy was off.

We heard this was one of the best pubs for food in London and we were not disappointed. Very stylish pub with a nice menu. It was a Sunday so the menu was Sunday Roast. The food was excellent and would highly recommend.

The service takes an age but I enjoyed the meal.

If you’re after cold food, poor management and a boat of gravy poured over you by their staff, this is the place for you. TERRIBLE, AVOID!!!

On arrival, the restaurant was extremely loud, and we had to hussle through the crowd. We were taken to our table, a very close, tight, not restaurant table, but pub table.Our coats were not offered to be taken. We ordered food with our waitress before anyone asked us for a drink, and a drinks order was taken swiftly afterwards. The bread box was extremely good. The bread is warm & delicious, accompanied by 2 flavour butters. Starters are the same, simple but delicious. The main course took what seemed a lifetime to arrive & was disappointing. Presentation poor and the food far too rich. I could not finish. I had a side of carrots for £6.50! And they were nothing special. Although the waiting staff were polite and busy, they were not as attentive as i would have liked. We opted for the bill rather than the dessert menu. By this time, the pub was so loud that i couldn't hear my partner across the table, and it gave me a headache. I'm disappointed i shall not be returning, unfortunately. Shame because we have been looking forward to this restaurant for many years .
