    We have visited The Prince a couple of times before but after today's Sunday lunch, I have promised myself not to return. I was never able to put my finger on what was missing, until now.

    Happily Stoke Newington has a glut of excellent eateries and a person would therefore assume each establishment would try a little harder to vie for custom. This place seems to rely on its back street cosy location and faux gastro pub status with funky metallic bar (damp - use a cloth!) and thinks it doesn't have to do much else to attract business.

    The food wasn't outstanding but palatable, although the portions big. The vegetables seemed microwaved and my friend thought her sausages were bland. All in all average fayre really.

    The main problem for me were the staff. Two of them especially displaying a certain well-honed aloof manner, and bordering on offensive indifference in our being there. This crescendo-ed on my paying the (over priced) bill. The 'Thank you' was uttered but I was stared right through with a chilling lack of human interaction.

    The staff coupled with the sterile atmosphere and bland choice in music (I am from originally from Liverpool and tremendously proud of my heritage, but there is only so much back to back Beatles even I can take) made my mind up never to return.

    I say save yourself a few pennies and go somewhere warmer in atmosphere and marginally cheaper like the Londesborough or the Daniel Defoe where the manager cracks a joke as he pours your pint.

    Hmm. This place looks good enough, but it is not. Not really. I mean, they spent a lot on the decor but patrons are expected to pay a lot for their food a drink -this, I feel, is unacceptable for a back street boozer. Thanks to the throughly pompous, dark faux-sexy decor The Prince has a distincly staid and uptight atmosphere. Many treat it's back street location as a means to call it a hidden gem, but this treasure trove is no rewarding, seek it out and you'll see for yourself that a big fat X makes the spot. Do yourself a favour, visit one of the very many other better pubs in the area and don't indulge these clowns. Well worth avoiding.

    Good for beer, hit or miss on food

    I go to this place regularly for a Friday night pint. I love the modern-meets-traditional pub atmosphere... spacious, wood tables, leather couches, sun in the afternoon. The staff are very friendly. Their beer fridge isn't cold enough so stick to pints over bottles. I only wish the food were better. On two occasions the food was overpriced, boring and potentially even poisonous (I'm not sure if it was the veggie burger or the beer, but something didn't sit right after that meal). Some friends claim to have had a decent burger there once, and I believe their chips are okay.

    This is my local. The upstairs lounge has a varied mix of seating my favbourite being the rocking chair. The food is good although slightly more expensive than most in the area. It has an enviable reputation for its Sunday Lunches when the pub gets packed out so if you go book ahead.

    I like the place. It's a Gastropub tucked away from main streets. It's laid back and has an older down-to-earth crowd. Has outdoor area in the summer that closes early due to local pressure. See you there.

    A decent neighbourhood pub in Stoke Newington. The wine list is pretty good and they have good range of draught lagers (didn't look at the real ales unfortunately). The menu seemed good, but we didn't eat there. A pretty relaxed sort of a place, the music was quiet and inoffensive (even on a saturday). Pretty unpretentious for the area, nicely decorated, you can hire the upstairs for private functions. Overall, a good place for a few drinks with friends.
