The Prince Regent, Herne Hill - pub details
Description
This lovingly renovated Victorian boozer sits opposite the lido in Brockwell Park and is a favourite with locals and visitors alike. Serving delicious, freshly made food all day with brunch in the mornings, an a la carte menu and a selection of specials from the blackboard throughout the day and boisterous Sunday lunches for all the family at weekends.
There are three Cask Marque accredited real ales on tap and a good selection of draught and bottled beers available. Jugs of pimms, heart starting Bloody Marys and Belinis are abundant at weekends.
Upstairs there are two beautifully renovated function rooms available for parties. One has it's own bar and the other is perfect for a private dinner for upto thirty people.
Roudy quiz nights on Tuesdays at 8pm are a must, but you will need to bag a table early in order to get a chance of the sizeable £150 pot.
Give the place a try on Monday evenings when there is two courses for £10. This deal is ridiculously good value.

| I agree. Kids can really make your ale taste wrong. The Regent has a strict no kids policy past 7pm which I think is fair enough. They even call last orders for parents with kids at 6:45! oieric - 21 Jul 2008 19:01 |
| Crikey . A woman with an 8 month old son complaining because the bar staff hadn't heated his baby food up properly. Who takes an 8 month old baby to the local boozer? And expects it to be catered to properly by bar staff ? Perhaps one of the more unfortunate aspects of the smoking ban which has encouraged a plethora of unruly children and now even tiny babies into pubs, this attitude is part of the pub's problem. Many punters are expecting a combined creche,fine dining and family experience and other locals want a no nonsense pub with good food where they can have a pint in peace and quiet - yes , away from the family perhaps! At the moment the Regent seems to be satisfying no one. I've seen people breastfeeding in there on a Saturday night and toddlers sitting at the bar. At the same time the food is not up to scratch with the best gastro pubs ( Havelock in W London for example) but the prices are very high. Its not a creche or fine dining experience - IT IS A PUB! People have all sorts of odd expectations these days but it would help if the Prince Regent also knew what it was, then they may have more satisfied customers. jimmyay1 - 17 Jul 2008 14:28 |
| Having been to this pub on quite a few occasions and generally really enjoyed the experience (fine ales, good food and warm, friendly service) I now have a completely different opinion after lunching there yesterday. ALL the staff were rude, cold, impersonal and damn right unprofessional. Firstly, as I came in with my 8 month old son and my mum and dad- we asked a waitress if we could have a table, she replied, 'have you booked?'. What? If we'd booked, we wouldn't be asking for a table now would we? Things got from bad to worse as menus were plonked down in front of us without a word or being asked for drinks, one of the waiters- after hearing me ask if we could order food- asked me to 'wait for 10 minutes while it dies down in the kitchen' (Durgh, it wasn't even FULL in there!). Also, I asked the same sullen waiter if he could heat up my homemade food for my son for which he replied, 'It'll be done in about 10 minutes' (is there some 10 minute rule in this godforsaken place?). When it came back, it was plonked on the table by another waiter without a word and was STONE COLD. DON'T go to this place if you want good service. The service is BAD. Go to The Florence up the road. Despite it's good food, I will not be returning to this place in a hurry. meatboy - 13 Jul 2008 09:01 |
| Ive been to the Regent many times for a drink and the occasional bite and I generally quite enjoy it. However my view has altered dramatically following my recent monday night visit. I booked a table for 2 in advance which after speaking to the second staff member (the first seemed totally uninterested)we were pointed in the direction of it. This was at 8.30 - by 9pm we wre still awaiting someone to take our orders despite my partner approaching staff only to be told that someone will be round shortly. A further 20 minutes elapsed in which time 2 more recently arrived couples had had their orders taken. This just seemed absurd not to mention rude, and was our queue to leave. Only now did a waiter come over to take our order but by now the damage was done and we shall not be returning, not even for a pint. I understand that places get busy but there was very little evidence of food coming out of the kitchen while everyone around us was sat with empty plates. Perhaps if one of the numerous staff couldve stopped posing for a minute and at least given us the courtesy of a brief explanation/apology re why we'd been kept waiting for over three quarters of an hour we may well have given them the benefit of the doubt. As it stands the next time I want a pint and something to eat locally I'll be going to the Commercial! TonyW69 - 2 Jul 2008 23:23 |
| I have visited this pub a couple of times as I live in the area. It has a very nice vibe and is well-located and handy, just opposite Brockwell park. They offer a good selection of drinks however I would agree that the prices are quite high, compared to other pubs in the vicinity. I ate at the Prince Regent once with my partner and we thought that the pint of prawns was a novel idea, so decided to give it a go. We were however, not prepared for what we got - a pint glass, full of unpeeled prawns and worse, all the egg sacks were still attached to the underbelly of the prawns. Yuk. We spent more time peeling the damn prawns and getting really messy, rather than actually eating. I've peeled prawns in other restaurants and it's never been much of a problem, but here, it was really unpleasant. Maybe the prawns were cheap and that's why they were so horrid? I'd suggest to the management to either bin the idea of prawns in a pint glass or get yourselves a better supply. The rest of the food was good though so don't be put off!
