Set just yards from Brockwell Park, just around the corner from Herne Hill Station, The Prince Regent is a characterful Victorian pub serving up proper pints, pub classics, and old-school charm. Out front, beneath a statue of the pub’s namesake, King George IV, you’ll find a range of bench seating, perfect for soaking up the sun in summer, while inside offers plenty of cosy nooks and corners for casual meals and drinks celebrations.
Inside, wood-panelled interiors and a warm red colour scheme matched with framed photos, illustrations, and paintings, create the perfect vibe for all manner of social occasions, from post-work drinks to celebratory meals and family dining. In addition to low tables and stools for drinkers, you’ll find larger tables where guests can enjoy classic pub grub.
The Prince Regent menu sticks close to the classics, making use of quality ingredients to craft small plates, hearty mains, and generous Sunday roasts. It kicks off with plates for the table, including padron peppers with smoked sea salt, focaccia, and black pudding Scotch eggs. Starters, meanwhile, include pork ‘nduja and pecorino croquettes with roast garlic aioli, and fried pink fir potatoes with garlic butter and devilled brown crab mayonnaise.
Main dishes include a double rib and chuck smash burger, cider-battered North Atlantic haddock with mushy peas and triple-cooked chips, and 28-day Himalayan salt-aged sirloin steak with chips and peppercorn sauce. The Prince Regent also offers weekday lunch plates, including a salt beef Reuben sandwich and Caesar salad with a soft-boiled Burford Brown egg. For dessert, the classics are present and correct, think classic sticky toffee pudding, chocolate brownies, and apple and rhubarb crumble.
Visiting for the Sunday roast? Simply choose from options like beetroot and squash Wellington, pork belly, grass-fed sirloin or slow roast lamb shoulder. Each comes with generous trimmings and plenty of gravy.
