Tried to eat here on May 5th and made a reservation for four. Two people in our group arrived a few minutes before us and were seated. When my boyfriend and I arrived, we were IDed and informed the pub is 21+. My boyfriend was denied entry 3 days before his 21st birthday. We confirmed on the website beforehand the restaurant was only 21+ on Saturdays, May 5 was a Friday. The bouncer told us the policy was "discretionary," more like discriminatory. One of the woman in our party, also 20, was allowed entry minutes before us. The bouncer checked her ID and allowed her in. When they saw my boyfriend (who was completely sober) they denied us service for no real reason. They screwed up our plans and lost our business. Our friends left and we had to make last minute arrangements on a busy Friday night. Very disappointing.

We went to try the Sunday roast. Ordered the lamb roast, was ok. We didn't enjoy the whole experience due to the service, that it was correct but you could notice that they were annoyed while working. I don't expect the service to be really joyful but for that price I'm expecting someone that can tell me a recommendation without an attitude.

Maybe if you try the pub in a "less busy" day, they'll be in the mood, but I think there are plenty of options in Stoke Newington to go instead.

There is nothing more upsetting than dragging yourself out of bed on a Saturday morning in pursuit of the perfect roast only to find yourself somewhere that thinks charging £12 for dry chicken, soggy cabbage and one roast potato hidden in a mountain of boiled ones is acceptable.  That's why I go to gastro pub The Prince; it's very close to my house which means I can roll out of bed just before they stop serving at 4pm and still get my moneys worth (although it is advisable to book in advance if you're going late or in a big group). 

The best thing about their roast is the option to have a slice of everything, for no extra charge.  This usually involves chicken, beef, lamb and pork and of course their corresponding sauces.  I'm not really sure which goes with which, not being much of a traditionalist but apple sauce goes great with everything as far as I'm concerned.  I love this pub, it's gorgeous inside, light and airy but with that unbeatable pub atmosphere, there is a conservatory at the back and a smoking courtyard and the most wonderful food and friendly staff.

It's down a little suburban street in Stokey, a bit off the beaten track and a great place to spend a whole afternoon eating, reading the paper and drinking off the hangover.  It is a little pricey, but well worth it, so just try and get someone else to pay.

I spent many many hours here from 2003-2007. I spent new year's eve 2006 here, and have many fond memories of Miss Melanie's quizzes at the Prince. I made some pretty wonderful friends in this establishment, ate some pretty delicious food (their chips are top-notch), and drank far too much at far too wrong of hours of the day.

I don't know how this place is faring now that the proprietors Lucy and Jon are gone. But it's worth a trip off Church St. to check this place out.

The Prince is one of the best-looking pubs in N16, hidden-away on a back street... The food is really tip top, and it's the big draw - I don't think it can really compare to the atmosphere of the old Stoke Tup/The Lion or the Shakespeare... but lunch (never cheap) is always of a very high quality. It's certainly in a different league from the Rose and Crown and the like.


 This being Stoke Newington, there's always one table of awful parents who think it's fine to take Maisie, Olly and their six toddler friends to the pub for the whole afternoon and run riot, like a pre-school version of Lord of the Flies on speed. Can't they just all stick to the Three Crowns (the biggest creche in north London) and leave us in peace!? The Daniel Defoe is on to such a winner by banning kids. You know chaps, you can't have kids and expect to still have the same life you did before... (although apparently in N16, you can!).

Had their Sunday roast this weekend and couldn't believe the quality!  It was SOOO delicious.  Great spot in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood.  Great for families.  All food sampled was great.  Not a lot of outdoor seating, but otherwise a true delight. 

Try the Halibut or the Seabass.  YUM!  Oh, and the Cadbury's Flake Cheesecake!

What an amazing roast.

It is a few pounds more expensive than most local pubs (it is about £14/£15 for lamb,chicken or beef, or a mixed meat selection) but it is significantly better than any I have had in recent years. You get so much more for your money- you get a large plate of delicious meat and a enormous separate, selection of fresh vegetables which you can serve yourself. Each person gets their own gravy or sauce as well to prevent arguments.

I am a huge fan of yorkshire puddings and always asked for an extra one when I am ordering. The waiter tried to dissuade claiming them to be huge,  but I stuck to my guns, and annoying had to eat every bite to prove a point (they are really big)

It is a nice place to go during the week for a drink after work, but its forte is sunday lunch time, where I would recommend booking before hand.

The prince is, above all, a great place to eat food with your drinks. Although it's a BIT pricey, it's not too bad, and the portions are pretty sizeable, so you could always share. The sunday roasts are delicious, even for the veggies, although they do a very tempting selection of organic meaty specials too (i've struggled with that board on many an occasion!). The staff are friendly too, and the beer garden is tiny butexistant!


 The only real downside is that sometimes the kids out there are a bit loud, but as it's usually my friends kids doing all the hollering, i can't really complain too much.


 Oh, and they do B R I L L I A N T chips.

When my ma and pa were visiting from Australia I immediately booked a table for dinner here as I knew they'd love the food, being fond of good pub grub as they are. The roast lunches here on a Sunday are amongst the best in north London and well worth a visit. There is a good selection on the menu, especially for vegetarians.


 Upstairs is a massive second bar/function room which is perfect for those birthday parties which are too big for your pokey flat. There is a wide range of nice wines and beers to choose from and the staff are friendly and helpful.

A favourite local pub for my partner and I. Great atmosphere with a solid selection of beers. I also often attend the Life Drawing class upstairs on a  Tuesday night. Great fun and would recommend to all, even if you are not artistically inclined.
